Le projet de recherche cherche à établir un cadre de référence quantifiable des propriétés géotechniques des remblais entreposés en carrière, notamment près des centres urbains de Montréal. Cette pratique connaît une forte croissance en raison de la densification urbaine, de l’intensification de l’extraction d’agrégats pour la construction et de la réhabilitation des sites. Les remblais […]

Additional research is required to fully understand the effects of a powerful antioxidant Curcumin on the short and long term impact of exercise. Previous studies have demonstrated other antioxidants can potentially slow recovery and reduce benefits of exercise. However, there is lacking information regarding the effects of Curcumin on cardiovascular health and exercise performance. The […]

We will be looking at the feasibility and acceptability of a healing program that incorporates Ketamine medicine sessions with First Nations healing practices. The intern will be helping give surveys to the participants. The partner organization will benefit by learning how they can improve the program, and the intern will benefit by gaining experience in […]

This research project aims to answer whether a parasport coach workshop can lead to positive changes in coaching behavior, increase coaches’ confidence, and improve the sport experiences of adult parasport athletes in Nova Scotia. With the support of Sport Nova Scotia and the Canadian Sport Institute Atlantic, the project will test a pilot workshop that, […]

The overall research aims at conducting studies that use high volume data and analytics in order to provide realtime process optimization and optimal control to processes that are to be controlled in preparation for the industrial environment. These investigations is the first stage or Phase 1 associated with creating the mechanism to have machines learn, […]

Le projet consiste à utiliser une source bio carbonée de charbon, issus de résidus de coupe de bois, afin de s’en servir comme substrat pour un système de traitement des eaux par marais filtrant. L’objectif du projet se décrit en deux volets. Le premier sera de tester les capacités hydrauliques de différents biochars, afin de […]

Design an efficient way to store and organize the large amounts of data required by our real time bidding application. Data such as campaign information, campaign assets (images, links, html) campaign targeting settings, and campaign optimization data could be arranged for fast access and processing inside the RTB application. Efficient storage and processing methods are […]

White pine blister rust is a serious disease of pine, an ecologically and economically important forest species in Ontario and the Maritime Provinces. In western Canada, this pathogen has virtually eliminated pine as a commercial species and the disease now threatens eastern Canada. Endophytes are fungi that live in the leaves of various plants including […]

Digital Pathology provides a great reliable source for cancer diagnosis; however, this relatively new technique lacks an appropriate method of regulation and standardization. As a result the information obtained from cancer imaging system might suffer from inconsistency of the results (repeatability and reproducibility issues). Working with the BC Cancer Research Center, Logipath Medical Inc. has […]

The proposed research focuses on developing a welding system that can be used to create helmet pads and other protective gear, like knee and shin pads. This system will use ultrasonic welding or soldering techniques, making the process more efficient than current methods. The goal is to reduce the time and labour involved in manufacturing […]

The research focuses on development and implementation of advanced software algorithms designed for the automated analysis of skin lesion images. The algorithms will be designed to run on mobile computing devices such as smartphones and tablets, and could be used by the general users as well as doctors for computer-assisted screening and diagnosis of skin […]

Population growth and reductions in arable productive soils around the globe have triggered a range of efforts to improve plant yield and harvest quality, including the development of more low-cost, environmentally sustainable, and reasonable approaches. Most of the attempts made to increase crop production are dependent on the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers to reinforce […]
