La pratique sportive, qu’elle soit compétitive ou récréative, bien que reconnue comme un facteur de protection pour la santé, comporte un risque de blessures ayant des conséquences significatives pour la santé des pratiquants. Des études montrent que les hommes de 12 à 24 ans (Hamel & Tremblay, 2012) sont les plus grandes victimes de traumatisme […]

The project aims to develop and test thermoelectric technology with residential furnaces to generate power. The solution will generate power from waste heat from furnaces with improved energy efficiency. The testing includes thermal measurements, power measurements, and energy efficiency evaluation and optimization.

The proposed research project is a Phase 1 clinical trial looking at the safety of fenretinide, a molecule based on the structure of vitamin A, on patients with a disease called cystic fibrosis. Fenretinide has been shown in our laboratory to help cystic fibrosis mice by lowering molecules involved in inflammation and increasing the levels […]

Currently, energy audits at Dillon Consulting Limited take 2 to 3 days to generate comprehensive reports, consuming significant auditor time due to the manual process. This inefficiency diverts auditors from critical tasks and introduces inconsistencies, especially in buildings with multiple facilities. It limits Dillon Consulting’s ability to meet increasing demand for energy management practices. There […]

Severe sepsis strikes young and old alike with an increasing incidence of >75,000 per year in Canada at a cost of $40,000 per patient. In 40% sepsis is complicated by low blood pressure and organ failure with a mortality rate of 30-60%. The number of deaths due to severe sepsis and septic shock is greater […]

Classification and separation of solid particles immersed within an air stream plays a crucial role in aerosol separation, air filtration, fine particle recovery, and many other applications. Particle separators divide a mixture of different-sized solid particles in a flowing gas stream into fine and coarse streams. IMASCO Minerals produces ultrafine dry ground calcium carbonate (CaCO3) […]

The goal of the proposed research project is to explore applications of frequency combs, for which laboratory applications have already been demonstrated, in an industrial setting. The research will be mainly focused on chemical sensing of stack emissions for monitoring purposes. As a secondary objective, the use of frequency combs in vibrometric measurements for structural […]

This study proposes to evaluate the quality of movement in patients with low back pain using a novel device. We are going to measure and compare the movement of people with back pain to that of healthy people. In addition, we plan on correlating the psychological factors associated with low back pain to tissue pathology. […]

This project will carry out original research of a prospective lode gold system located on the western shore of Hudson’s Bay. The location is near the hamlet of Whale Cove. The gold mineralization is intrusive-related, very similar to that of the well known deposits of the Porcupine and Kirkland Lake camps of the southern Abitibi. […]
