Le stagiaire aura l’occasion d’approfondir ses connaissances de la commercialisation au Québec, de faire l’état de l’art, de produire une analyse des besoins et de proposer des solutions originales. En commençant par lire ce que les autres ont écrit, le stagiaire ira ensuite sur le terrain pour rencontrer et parler directement aux entrepreneurs pour avoir […]

This research project aims to provide a robust account of school performance across Canada by collecting and measuring data on six critical indicators. These indicators are academic achievement, physical and mental health, social-emotional development, creativity and innovation, citizenship and democracy, and school climate. To address this inquiry, survey data will be collected and integrated with […]

The present research partnership between Hydrogen In Motion and Simon Fraser University will develop a revolutionary, conformable hydrogen storage tank solution for fuel cell electric vehicles. The specific objective of the proposed Mitacs Accelerate Extension phase is to design, construct, and calibrate a specialized Sievert-type apparatus for measurement of hydrogen sorption and desorption properties of […]

Pour favoriser l’utilisation des transports en commun de manière efficace et répondre aux besoins précis de chacun des utilisateurs, les autorités de transport tendent vers une intégration les différents modes de transports complémentaires (voitures, vélo, covoiturages…). Dans ce cadre, une des problématiques que Bombardier rencontre souvent est l’intégration des vélos dans la définition de l’intérieur […]

Cloud-based predictive analytics service allows businesses to improve their performance with a minimal investment in infrastructure. Moreover, it enables collaboration and simplifies decision making. However, there are technical obstacles that prevent the large-scale deployment of such service to support millions of users. In fact, a cloud analytics platform runs on a distributed clustercomputing system. Hence, […]

Devant l’augmentation des problèmes environnementaux dus aux changements climatiques causés par l’homme. Et face aux diverses solutions de protection de l’environnement, en terme de nouvelles technologies et/ou amélioration d’un procédé, les scientifiques cherchent constamment des solutions réalistes et raisonnables, voire de nouvelles technologies émergentes. Pour sa part, la MRC de Vaudreuil-Soulanges, intéressée par le développement […]

This project is a continuation of a previous internship that made use of longitudinal data on patients with prostate cancer obtained over a period of fifteen to seventeen years to initiate a long-term comparison of external-beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy treatments. The key objective is to demonstrate that Brachytherapy treatments offer the best outcomes at […]

The treatment of Hospital acquired infections from pathogenic bacteria continues to be a serious and significant burden on health care resources both nationally and globally. Currently, about 1 in 10 persons will acquire an HAI as result of a medical procedure which can result in an additional hospital stay, treatment and in some severe cases, […]

High Voltage DC Transmission (HVDC) is used for bulk power transfer over long distances. Manitoba Hydro’s power system involves collection of AC power in the north, where it is converted to DC and then transferred to southern Manitoba (approx. 900km) where it is converted back to AC to feed consumers and for export. Recently, inter-area […]

The objective of the project is to develop a non-destructive test protocol to accurately and reliably detect cracked, pre-welded automotive parts within the constraints of an industrial assembly cell. This will involve reviewing, developing and testing one or more test procedures based on vibration excitation of the part and the measurement and analysis of the […]

Randomly created question and solution problem sets will frequently include scaled images that are generated with a series of variables. These figures contain labels for such things as dimensions, coordinates, angles, sub-titles and vertex names. When images are created manually, labels are placed in a manner which avoids them from obscuring other labels or the […]

The research project intends to test various aspects of data collection using a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) in order to assess the suitability for small sites (~1 ha). Ideal conditions for UAV based mapping will be determined and compared to other traditional methods. To identify suitable conditions, the relationship between accuracy and several factors (the […]
