Light electric vehicles such as e-bikes and e-scooters are gaining popularity. However, due to lack of standardization each brand/manufacturer use different battery configurations. Consequently, designing a public charging station for light electric vehicles is a challenge. Moreover, wireless charging of light electric vehicles offers a more elegant and convenient solution. Thus, the goal of the […]

This Mitacs Acelerate proposal is the first of three-phase project of Adriana’s Goncalves master’s thesis. For this present MITACS proposal, it will be investigated routes to extract gold, mercury and other possible valuable minerals from a representative sample of AGM tailings from Costa Rica. The tailings belong to a small Canadian company, Newlox Gold that […]

We live in an age of distraction and mind-wandering, which has been broadly linked to greater levels of unhappiness, suggesting that many of us might benefit from mindfulness training that allows us to better control our attention. Interaxon Inc. has developed a potentially breakthrough solution to this problem in a device that measures brain activity […]

Circuit électrique, operated by Hydro-Québec, currently owns most of the public charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs) in Quebec. Over the next few years, more charging station owners are expected to enter the market. This makes it necessary to anticipate the impact of competition in terms of service quality. This places us in the domain […]

In Canada, 1 in 7 men are likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) testing is currently not recommended in Canada as population based screening test. Prostate cancer, like other tumors, disperses tumor cells into circulation. If effectively isolated, molecularly analyzed and characterized, CTCs are potentially a reliable […]

This project seeks to evaluate how contamination can influence the growth of a bacterial community. These experiments will be performed using small scale bioreactors in a lab setting, where 1 contamination source can be evaluated at a time. The results of these experiments will be evaluated by using 16s Amplicon sequencing to determine which bacterial […]

Woodland caribou in the West Chilcotin are Threatened and face population decline due to habitat loss and increased predation. In winter, caribou in this area are dependant on lichen foraging underneath the snowpack, with mature lodgepole pine forests providing suitable lichen availability and predator avoidance. For the Rainbows Mountains and Itcha-Ilgachuz caribou herds, pine beetle […]

Le présent projet répond à la nécessité de développer des outils visant l’autonomisation et l’amélioration de la santé générale des jeunes atteints de pathologies chroniques. À cet effet, la plateforme Inpowr est un espace web qui permet de jauger son bien-être personnel par l’entremise de questions générales, de se fixer des buts précis, des comportements […]

Ensuring safety and efficiency in the construction industry remains a paramount concern, requiring innovative solutions to mitigate delays, minimize reworks, and prevent accidents. Despite advancements, challenges persist in facilitating real-time interactions among project participants, addressing unforeseen design-construction discrepancies promptly, and efficiently managing construction materials and resources. This study investigates the potential of leveraging Extended Reality […]

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

Comment aider les municipalités à mettre en place des politiques culturelles locales plus ancrées dans les préoccupations et les besoins de leurs habitants ? C’est à quoi cette recherche postdoctorale vise à répondre. Au carrefour de l’innovation communautaire, de l’aménagement urbain et culturel et des politiques publiques, l’objectif est d’expérimenter et documenter des modèles et […]
