Le projet consiste en le développement de nouveaux médicaments pouvant traiter le cancer. La méthodologie utilisée sera par l’inhibition de microtubules, une structure essentielle aux cellules cancéreuses, ce qui mènera alors à la mort de ces dernières. Ces composés devront être résistant au mécanisme de défenses des cellules cancéreuses, soit les pompes PgP. Ces pompes […]

Harvesting wheat grains require that the plant be cut from the stem and threshed. When the stem (straw) of the wheat bend due to pest and other factors, losses are incurred during harvesting. To minimize losses, breeders have developed pest-resistant wheat (solid stemmed) as compared to the hollow stemmed. The solid stemmed varieties may lead […]

We propose to leverage social networking in a series of apps designed to improve the quality of life for persons with cognitive disabilities. We believe the success of companies for recreational athletes, some with over 15 million users, is linked to motivation and partnering, in addition to the analysis and tracking features. Building on our […]

Biopharmaceuticals are pharmaceuticals that are produced in biological systems, as opposed to being made synthetically using purely chemical approaches. Biopharmaceuticals are becoming increasingly important today, as biological systems are very good at making pharmaceuticals with very precise activity within people and with fewer side effects. However, most of the conventional approaches used to make biopharmaceuticals […]

The objective of this research is to develop an Ontario-based Wastewater Management Standard (WWMS), which is aligned with the currently statutorily required Ontario Drinking Water Management Standard (DWQMS) and with ISO 14001 for environmental management systems. This proposed research will bring much needed standardization for the quality and environmental management for municipal and non-municipal wastewater […]

This project proposal describes a new approach for the design, implementation, and testing of a robust flight control for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) such as a hexcopter. The motivation for this work is driven by the limitations of the current commercial controllers (e.g., the difficulty to deal with variable payloads and challenging environments). This […]

The intern will evaluate disparities in the use of diabetes technologies among individuals from historically marginalized communities in Canada, explore barriers and facilitators to use of diabetes technologies, and identify novel strategies to improve equitable use. The intern will determine associations between marginalization and the use of insulin pumps and CGM, as well as interactions […]

The main objective of this research project is to contribute to developing a model that can provide robust early warning to changes in influenza cases and help to reduce ILI spread globally. The model, Modified Exponential Growth Algorithm (MEGA), will characterize the early ascending phase of epidemic disease and will be used to detect changes […]

De 1996 à2019,|e site de la Nouvelle-France s’est imposé comme un site touristique d’importance au Saguenay. En 2022, grâce à d’importantes subventions, la Société touristique de l’Anse-à-la-Croix qui gère le site a entrepris une refonte complète de I’offre touristique avec I’achat et la construction de nouveaux bâtiments afin de combler un vide en matière d’offre […]

The larger study project aims to assess and enhance the impact of virtual health interventions on older adults with IDD, their family caregivers, and service providers. The first phase of the research project will explore and investigate current challenges older adults with IDD experience within academic and grey literature, and data collected from previous virtual […]

Data analytics have been used extensively across various industries to predict and propose optimal operation conditions, ultimately improving project efficiencies and reducing execution costs. However, these methods have not been widely utilized by any SAGD (Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage) operators. There is an opportunity to adapt this new technology to further optimize process operation and […]

Hydraulic fracturing is a process where fluids are injected in high pressure into wells and fracture the rocks. This process is the driver for shale gas extraction and therefore its efficiency plays a major role for unconventional oil recovery. One of the key questions in such a process is the extent that the pressurized fluids […]
