The project’s goal is to create a system for cancelling unwanted noise in an area by using arrays of speakers and microphones. This system will perform active noise cancellation, as seen in high-end headphones, but does not require those benefiting from the system to wear any hardware. This permits active noise cancellation to support applications […]

À même les résultats du projet « Les parcours éducatifs et les représentations de la science chez les jeunes » subventionné par le CRSH, les stagiaires du projet MITACS devront créer, développer et voir à dispenser un ensemble d’activités d’apprentissage et de formation qui s’adressera tantôt aux jeunes, tantôt aux enseignants. Ces activités auront pour […]

Le projet proposé vise le développement d’un nouveau produit de santé naturel pour le traitement de l’herpès labial. Le stagiaire sera en charge du développement de la galénique du produit en accord avec la règlementation de Santé Canada. Ce produit comportera différents extraits naturels notamment de Cornus sericea connu pour son action directe sur le […]

As part of the environmental assessment of the prospective Blackwater Mine in British Columbia, New Gold mining company is implementing a ‘Country Foods Monitoring Plan’ to address concerns voiced by First Nations communities over the safety of traditional food sources in anticipation of new mine development and operations. The overall goal of my proposed work […]

Le présent projet implique le laboratoire d’analyse et de séparation des essences végétales (LASEVE) de l’UQAC et l’entreprise Bio Forextra qui mettent en commun leur expertise afin de pousser le développement d’extraits issus de la biomasse forestière du Québec. Dans un premier temps, il sera nécessaire d’optimiser le procédé d’extraction développé par Bio Forextra afin […]

We will invent new ways of displaying and analyzing data collected by the Government of Saskatchewan. The Ministry of Justice wants to find cheaper ways of helping people make good choices. We will look in the data for connections among the things that people do and have done to them before they get in trouble. […]

The proposed research will allow us to determine how the human central nervous system (i.e. brain and spinal cord) functions to produce different patterns of muscle contractions during cyclical arm movements. We will use a variety of stimulation technics to determine how active the brain and spinal cord are during the arm movements. We do […]

The research proposal is designed to examine the relationship between footwear, metabolic rate and lower limb muscle activity following exercise-educed fatigue. This randomized, controlled crossover design experiment will consist of three sessions. The first session is a familiarization session. The second and third sessions will be the same, except the exercise will be done wearing […]

The work proposed here is based on a novel and innovative approach which has not been addressed till today. We propose that developing a combined therapy to inhibit ErbBs and activate SSTRs, might be useful approach to control tumor progression and better hormonal therapy response in breast cancer. The outcome of the present study first, […]

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has emerged as an eminent technology to address today’s growing energy crisis and environmental issues. PEMFC technology faces multiple challenges before widespread commercialization. Water transport inside a PEMFC has a significant impact on the cell performance and durability. In this internship a numerical model is implemented to study the […]

Des représentations digitales humaines (RDH) 3D et manipulables dans l’environnement natif d’un outil de CAO, comme CATIA, ont l’avantage de permettre la réalisation de simulation dynamique. De plus, aujourd’hui les avancées technologiques constituent une piste prometteuse pour dimensionner le produit très tôt dans le processus et pour explorer à moindre cout différentes avenues conceptuelles. Si […]

The overall objective of the proposed initiative is to develop a novel, automated and integrated harvesting system that will identify the root causes of increased loses; increase berry picking efficiency and product quality. The increased harvesting losses of wild blueberry crop during harvesting have pushed the growers and processors within the industry to set a […]
