La recevabilité des demandes de remboursement, la clarté et la nature des exigences, et l’acceptabilité de remboursement des médicaments naturels diffèrent d’une province à une autre dépendamment entre autre de la reconnaissance de l’efficacité et du rôle préventif des produits naturels et vitamines. Ainsi, il serait intéressant de regarder et d’analyser plus en profondeur les […]

Protocol amendments of clinical trials protocols in multicenter oncology clinics have a significant impact on their operations. They cause major delays on site activation and patient recruitment. The objective of this project is to evaluate the impact of protocol amendments on site activation timelines and patient recruitment in multicenter oncology clinical trials at Merck and […]

In this project, we aim to build an interactive art sculpture that is intrinsically curious. The sculpture learns by doing some action and observing the consequences. We are interested in studying how people perceive the behaviours emerged form this learning process and how different configuration might change this perception. Moreover, we aim to bring this […]

Dans le cadre de nombreuses maladies, le traitement médicamenteux permet de prévenir ou de réduire une perte en productivité, de maintenir le patient à son emploi et de prévenir des décès malheureusement prématurés. Cependant, il est souvent difficile de quantifier l’impact du médicament sur ces aspects. Par conséquent, ces aspects ne sont souvent pas pris […]

Le développement de la pharmacogénomique a permis notamment l’identification de biomarqueurs permettant de mieux cibler les patients pouvant bénéficier de certains traitements ou d’estimer le risque d’être éventuellement atteint d’une certaine maladie. Les tests pharmacogénomiques découlant de la découverte de ces biomarqueurs devront être évalués pour leur utilité clinique, mais aussi pour leur impact économique. […]

This project consists of two systems (Electric and Compressed Air) working together to power a vehicle. The electric system is the primary system and if its power source is depleted then the compressed air system can provide power for hours to get the vehicle to the next refilling station. The two systems are recharged during […]

Ce projet de recherche se concentre sur la conception et la mise en place d’un intranet dans une compagnie pharmaceutique à l’aide d’une approche expérience-utilisateur. « Les intranets sont des systèmes d’information basés sur la technologie du web, qui se positionnent comme des outils favorisant la productivité des employés qui les utilisent et la performance […]

The supervisors and their colleagues have discovered a number of compounds which have greater toxicity towards different tumours than normal cells. The first step in the proposal is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of the compounds in mice after which the candidate anticancer agents will be administered to a special breed of mice in […]

The increased utilization of HVdc technology around the world has created the need for evaluating the reliability of power systems that contains HVdc facilities. For example, if the generation system is remote and it is connected to the load centre through HVdc links, the transmission may have a significant impact on the overall system reliability […]

The overall goal is to create the backend of a mobile personal organizer that suggests professional events (conferences, colloquia, workshops, exhibitions) and contacts to establish while attending events, to members. Currently, the target audience are professionals in the biomedical domain. Given the need to feed data and meta-data from heterogeneous sources into the application, the […]

Improving mining efficiency through sustainable recovery of energyA significant step towards sustainable mining would be non-traditional, but productive uses for the mine. In particular, uses that would allow them to provide value and jobs to the community both during mining and afteroperations cease. To help in achieving this goal there is potential positive use of […]
