Le stagiaire sera responsable de l’évaluation de l’interface utilisateur du simulateur, en établissant une étude […]

The Northwestern Health Unit (NWHU) aims to address substance use issues prevalent in its catchment area by integrating two projects. Firstly, targeting high alcohol consumption rates, the initiative will require behavior change strategies to combat the normalization of alcohol use. By tailoring interventions to diverse subgroups, NWHU endeavors to shift cultural attitudes, thus reducing associated […]

This research project works to improve the industry partner’s customer engagement prediction by using advanced analytics. The project focuses on understanding which contacts are most likely to engage with a customer’s marketing campaign, such as opening emails, clicking links, or making transactions. By analyzing a large amount of data, the research team will develop models […]

In general, market research agencies use surveys and social media analytics as different ways to explain customer behaviour. Vision Critical, a Vancouver software and market research firm, is currently testing how the two can be combined to generate new findings. While the company intends to offer this approach as a service, various important questions to […]

Une eau potable de qualité est essentielle à la santé de tous. Plus d’un dixième des ménages québécois consomment l’eau de puits privés. Il incombe aux propriétaires de ces puits de s’assurer de la potabilité de leur eau. Ceux qui suivent la recommandation consistant à faire régulièrement analyser leur eau éprouvent souvent des difficultés à […]

To feed the globally increasing population and increasing costs of producing food, this project seeks to use artificial intelligence to develop an app to assist in sustainable agriculture management. By monitoring soil moisture, nutrient levels, climate and crop type, a machine learning algorithm will link the farming action (application of fertilizer, flood irrigation and other) […]

The free-flow counter gradient focusing technology provides a solution to tackling the problem of separating and collecting large amounts of protein sample. This technology is to be high performance and scalable, and is meant to compete against current batch mode protein separation techniques. The intern will assist in developing the experimental set-up necessary to validate […]

This project aims to develop a systematic approach to deep energy efficiency retrofits for prevalent building archetypes in Atlantic Canada, resulting in a comprehensive roadmap for regional and national deep retrofit acceleration. As part of a larger federally-funded endeavor, it contributes to the establishment of regional hubs, known as “Retrofit Accelerators,” aimed at guiding building […]

Obesity and high levels of blood glucose are major risk factors for cardiometabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Controlling food intake and blood glucose responses after a meal may help prevent the development of these diseases. Research suggests that people who consume breakfast cereals are at lower risk of cardiometabolic disease […]

Nova Scotia plans to become a major player in the global hydrogen market. The province wants to produce green hydrogen and green ammonia using renewable electricity. Hydrogen, ammonia, and carbon dioxide are three precursors to products that will be essential to a sustainable future: Methanol can be produced by combining green hydrogen and carbon dioxide, […]

La recherche envisagée vise à relever le défi critique de combattre la corrosion induite par l’utilisation répandue de sels de déglaçage, tels que le NaCl et le CaCl2, sur les infrastructures routières. Cette problématique majeure entraîne une détérioration accélérée des structures en béton, avec des conséquences coûteuses sur l’entretien et la durabilité des infrastructures. L’objectif […]

Les entreprises manufacturières de la Ville de Laval au Québec affichent un retard significatif dans l’adoption des technologies numériques, attribué au manque d’alignement avec le modèle d’affaires, la difficulté à établir des indicateurs clés de performance, et le déficit de compétences internes et de motivation des employés. Ce projet vise à évaluer la maturité numérique […]
