The overall objective of this project is to reduce ergonomic risk and the potential for workplace injury across the entire production facility. Repetition, force and posture are factors that can lead to fatigue and injury among workers in a manufacturing setting. By developing an ergonomic demands and risk assessment tool based on current research, the […]

The Ontario Structured Psychotherapy program (OSP) provides centralized access to mental health services and was developed as a stepped-care model, which allows clients to be matched to the appropriate level of service for them. However, resources are limited for in-depth analysis and the experiences of clients and clinicians remain relatively unknown in these early stages. […]

British Columbia’s Fraser Health Authority (FHA) faces challenges of lacking linkages to provincial administrative data to monitor long-term outcomes among their OAT clients. This one-year Mitacs Accelerate initiative will be undertaken in collaboration with FHA using both provincial administrative data held by the trainee’s supervisor and FHA’s summarized statistics data to characterize the client base […]

Le projet de recherche vise à améliorer la façon dont les documents essentiels pour la mise sur le marché des produits sous marque privée sont partagés avec les partenaires. La stagiaire sera chargée de rassembler, vérifier et rédiger des documents (comme les certificats de conformité et d’analyse) tout en collaborant avec différentes équipes pour garantir […]

Friedreich is an hereditary disease, which in due to a mutation of the frataxin gene. This mutation leads to a reduced production of the frataxin protein. This leads to oxidative stress and death of the cells. The death of the neurons and cardiomyocytes are responsible for progressive severe neurological and cardiac symptoms. The aim of […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Alors que beaucoup d’efforts sont faits pour favoriser la mobilité active dans les grands centres urbains, trop peu d’attention est portée sur les municipalités régionales (5000 à 50 000 habitants) et les défis particuliers qui s’y rapportent. La promotion de la mobilité active demande de bien comprendre les besoins, enjeux et freins propres à chaque […]

In industries, chemical processes involve different plants running in parallel with different production rates under the strict constraints on available resources. Therefore, events like shutdown of one or more plants, operating plants with different production grades with flexible run length time, different equipment utilization rates of plants are vital to be studied, scheduled, and optimized. […]

Mining operations have significant environmental impacts, making the adoption of innovative, energy-efficient materials handling technologies crucial for achieving both economic viability and environmental sustainability. This Mitacs project focuses on optimizing the materials handling systems at the Kerr-Sulphurets-Mitchell (KSM) Project in British Columbia to reduce its operating costs and GHG emissions. The project aims to identify […]

Ce projet s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une recherche doctorale. Il se situe dans le contexte du vieillissement en milieu rural estrien et autour du cas paradigmatique Culture aux aînés (CAA) présent dans les municipalités régionales de comté (MRC) du Val-Saint-François et Des Sources. CAA, un dispositif novateur interdisciplinaire encadré par une action de médiation culturelle, […]

Achieving sustainability in the tourism industry requires appropriate tools to make decisions and assessments in an “integrated and well-informed way”. In this context, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are tools that could vastly contribute to the assessment of sustainability due to their capabilities to integrate and combine information for the dimensions of environmental, social, and economic […]

This project aims to advance the development of fusion energy, a technology with the potential to provide nearly limitless, clean power for the future. General Fusion’s approach, known as pulsed fusion, differs from traditional methods by releasing energy in short, intense bursts rather than maintaining a continuous reaction. This method makes the process more controllable […]
