Un catalogue de produits chimiques composés d’oligomères hétérocycliques aromatiques à 5 membres symétriques et asymétriques comportant des unités thiophène, furane ou pyrrole et de faible teneur en métaux sera créé. Les composés d’intérêt seront issus principalement des réactions sans utilisation de catalyseurs métalliques, notamment le couplage de Stteter suivi de la réaction Paal-Knorr. Les réactions […]

Mené en contexte réel, le projet de recherche vise à étudier l’implantation d’une approche de gestion Lean au sein d’une administration municipale, soit la Ville de Sherbrooke. L’implantation sera appréhendée sous l’angle des processus de communication et du rôle que jouent ces derniers dans l’appropriation du changement. Cette recherche qualitative, conduite sur près de trois […]

In January 2009, the federal government of Canada proposed to invest $400 million nationally over two years as a one-time economic stimulus measure to address the issue of affordable housing. In certain situations multi-storey wood frame housing forms may be used where land value requires a higher density to achieve an economically viable project and […]

The proposed project will transform a trading card game into a locative mobile gaming platform with the goal of creating an interactive narrative experience. The game itself will be creating an on-going history of gameplay and publishing it on the Internet. In essence, players of the game are dynamically being written into the mythology of […]

We aim to use Saskatchewan’s data and current protocols to explore and identify the risk factors for the challenge of investigating cases of missing children. We will be using a variety of analytical methods in order to come up with a set of valuable recommendations for improving the process of investigating the cases of missing […]

Asia is the most important global market for aquaculture feeds and an increasingly important consumer of Canadian agricultural commodities, know-how and technologies. Given the complexity of the field, feed manufacturers require robust and highly flexible tools that could assist them in the formulation of cost-effective feeds for major aquaculture species across their life cycle. Veridis […]

Large volumes of waste in the form of tailings are produced during bitumen extraction. Conventionally, whole tailings are composed of sands, clay, water and residual bitumen. One of the major challenges facing the oil sands mining industry is the economical and efficient detoxification and reclamation of the tailings pond. Cypher Environmental, in collaboration with Dr. […]

The provision of emergency medical services to the oil and gas industry operating in the North Atlantic presents a number of unqiue challenges. Prolonged, weather-dependent transport times place tremendous strain on isolated medical providers in emergency situations. As a result, practitioners may be required to perform life-sustaining procedures outside of their training. Memorial University researchers […]

L’objectif général de ce projet est le développement d’un nouveau moteur de positionnement de Delmia basé sur les intentions de l’usager. Ce nouveau moteur positionnera le mannequin de Delmia en tenant compte de la l’équilibre postural, de l’effort exercé par les membres supérieurs sur l’environnement ainsi que la probabilité et la répétabilité de la posture […]

The goal of this research project is to answer the following two highly-coupled questions concerning essentially all online merchants: (1) which items in my current inventory are highly relevant and should be sold or recommended together? and (2) what new merchandise should be put into my current online store? The key to answering the above […]

This project is intended to investigate and address some of the challenges in the implementation of high quality factor and compact passive components and structures and their application in implementation of active circuit blocks in integrated circuit silicon technology at millimeter wave range of frequency. Advanced deep sub-micron silicon technologies such as SiGe and CMOS […]

Information visualization is gaining importance for analyzing large and complex datasets. There is evidence that user’s performance and satisfaction in working with visualizations can be influenced by cognitive or personality traits. Thus, researches have started investigating how information visualization tools could be made more effective and usable by enabling them to adapt in real-time to […]
