STEMCELL’s high quality standards in the cell and biomolecule isolation market are continuously driving the company to […]

FONEX Data System Inc. is developing solutions to address the challenges that telecommunication service providers face in upgrading their access networks to sustain the growth in data traffic. A key component of these solutions is the development of a low-cost, widely tunable external cavity laser (ECL) utilizing Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) technology. A significant advantage […]

Le projet de recherche s’intéresse à la problématique de la gestion des eaux pluviales dans l’arrondissement Ahuntsic – Cartierville à Montréal, accentué par l’augmentation des événements de précipitation extrêmes liés aux changements climatiques. Les infrastructures de drainage vieillissantes et les conceptions de l’époque rendent le réseau particulièrement vulnérable. Pour remédier à ces problèmes, deux principales […]

We will continue work on an inexpensive device developed for water column monitoring, using technology in development by Kinsol Research. The overall research project currently being undertaken is to create a device that can autonomously descend through a column of water to pre-set depths, gather measurements from various sensors (e.g. temperature and light level) during […]

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a slowly progressive chronic condition that is associated with aging and is characterized as joint pain. Individuals with early-stage OA usually attempt to treat their OA with pain medication therefore Alberta pharmacists can be seen as a first point of contact for these individuals to access appropriate care. Education, self-management, and exercise […]

MOTTIV Technologies and researchers from the University of Alberta will collaborate to create an “AI coach” which is a language based chatbot that will speak to athletes who use the MOTTIV app about a defined list of instances that are critical for a successful coach-athlete relationship. The goal is to make the chatbot called Coach […]

Ce projet vise la conception et la documentation de l’exposition inaugurale et permanente du Musée canadien de l’aluminium, en considérant plus particulièrement l’aluminium en tant que phénomène historique et culturel au Canada. Le projet vise ainsi à définir une offre muséale innovante sur les scènes québécoise, canadienne et internationale, tout en comblant des lacunes importantes […]

Pour le projet de recherche proposé, la stagiaire travaillera sur l’évaluation de l’initiative “Vélovolt”, qui vise à promouvoir l’adoption des vélos à assistance électrique (VAE) par des particuliers à travers des prêts à long terme via des employeurs. La recherche examinera les obstacles et motivations à l’utilisation des VAE, en tenant compte de facteurs tels […]

Greenhouse gas emission is a growing hazard, and in Canada, facilities emitting GHG over 10 kt CO2 eq/yr are mandated to report their emissions. Oxy-fuel combustion (OFC) is one promising solution for decarbonizing industrial production plants with post-combustion carbon capture. However, the implementation in existing facilities is limited by logistical aspects such as the lack […]

There is a large number of visually impaired people all over the world according to the World Health Organization. It reduces their mobility significantly as they may bump into obstacles. Robust real-time obstacle avoidance would be very helpful to increase their mobility. The main objective of this project is to develop a robust and fast […]

Aerated lagoons (ALs) are popular wastewater treatment systems in Quebec for their simplicity and cost-effectiveness. In 2014, Bionest Technologies introduced the KAMAK™ system, which uses fixed bacterial support technology to boost biofilm growth in ALs. Implemented at the Grandes-Piles AL, the KAMAK™ system enhances nitrification, increases biomass concentration, and reduces effluent total suspended solids (TSS). […]

Liver transplants can be a lifesaving treatment for people living with liver disease. However, many patients die on the waiting list every year. This major concern has raised the need to find alternatives to organ replacement therapy. Morphocell Technologies’ product, ReLiver™, uses stem cells to treat liver disease. Stem cells have the ability to self-renew […]
