Un nouveau style de minéralisations porphyrique en or a été découvert le long et au sud de la faille Cadillac en Abitibi à Malartic. On n’en connait pas les extensions possibles. Dans le secteur New Alger, le stagiaire pourra tester la présence ou l’absence de ce style de minéralisations par des levés géologiques et géochimique […]

Cancer is the most common cause of death in Canada. The rate of cancer incidence is growing due to both population growth and to the aging population. Chemotherapy is one of the most commonly used cancer treatment therapies, along with surgery and radiotherapy. Sophisticated treatment methods and improved management of side effects are increasing the […]

A joint research agreement was adopted between Concordia University and Zoo de Granby in the spring 2014. The firm BBA joined this partnership in November 2014. The aim of the initiative is to foster the training of highly qualified personnel in conservation and welfare of captive wildlife, by allowing Concordia students to get hands-on experience […]

The proposed research is intended to identify stakeholder issues that should inform the City of Vancouver’s proposed Fall 2015 public consultations on its proposed building GHG and energy reporting and public disclosure policy and regulation. A literature review and interviews with key stakeholders such as building owners and managers, utility conservation programs and public sector […]

L’hydroélectricité a l’avantage extraordinaire d’utiliser une ressource naturelle renouvelable. Ce projet de recherche vise à poursuivre l’utilisation responsable de cette ressource avec de nouvelles techniques de fabrication et réparation des équipements de production d’énergie, contribuant ainsi à un développement économique et social respectueux de l’environnement. La roue de turbine hydraulique et les équipements de production […]

Social exclusion is a major issue facing people in poverty and who experience homelessness. Participation in decisions affecting them, importantly, the development of programs to address housing and supports, is a key component of both inclusion and provision of appropriate services. The purpose of the research is to explore, develop, and document guidelines, mechanisms and […]

Recent years have witnessed a boom in the construction of modern high-rise buildings in megacities around the world. It is important to design a high-rise building that can effectively withstand both wind and earthquake loads. Nonetheless, in current practice, the design of highrise buildings for wind and earthquakes is done independently. Hence, there is an […]

Le but de ce projet de recherche est de déterminer les paramètres de conception des barres d’alternateur affectant la performance de celles-ci lors des essais de cyclage thermique. Des essais expérimentaux de vieillissement et des cyclages thermiques seront effectués ainsi qu’une simulation numérique par éléments finis de ce type d’essai. L’influence des différents paramètres de […]

The Eldorado Gold Corp. has developed a method of treating a hard-to-process ore from a mine in China in order to increase their recovery of gold. While this process has proven to be effective, more research is needed on the exact method in which this technique works on a very small-scale and detailed basis. The […]

Aging is a complex, time-dependent process caused by decreased ability of the body to respond to environmental stress. In the case of skin aging, most of the associated changes are the result of sun exposure or ‘photoaging’. As the average age of the western population increases, there has been a substantial increase in interest in […]

Autism is a growing public health challenge in Canada and internationally. Despite major scientific advances in autism research and improvements in practice, families still experience serious delays and complications in diagnosis and access to care. Moreover, community capacity, e.g., treatment and support programs, remains very limited relative to the needs of those affected. In turn, […]

In order to develop good physical skills, people need feedback on the performance of those skills. Analysis based on accurate observation is a key tool for improving future performance. Performance analysis is about creating a valid and reliable record of performance by means of systematic observations that can be analyzed with a view to facilitating […]
