The unique ability of surgical procedures with infrared lasers to prevent scarring can be applied to all kinds of tissues, not just the skin or outer layers, but also organs, other soft tissues, and bone reshaping for perfectly matching implants without tissue damage. However, the cutting speed due to the relatively low laser power is […]

The projects aims to develop a method to block the Wnt16B protein known to cause cancer growth and development by using target specific Camelid IgG antibodies in cancer cell culture that overexpresses Wnt16B. The Camelid antibodies programed to block the Wnt16B protein will be assessed for efficiency on how well they are able to block […]

Salt marshes are important coastal ecosystems as they provide many services to surrounding areas. However, due to their highly productive nature, they have a long history of being converted into farmland in the Maritimes and continue to be altered for human development. Salt marsh restoration has become popular recently to mitigate the increasing societal costs […]

Le Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Sainte-Justine (CHUSJ), centre hospitalier universitaire à vocation pédiatrique, joue un rôle central dans le système de santé du Québec. En tant qu’hôpital mère-enfant principal au Canada, le deuxième plus grand centre de recherche pédiatrique et le premier centre de recherche clinique en pédiatrie, le CHUSJ a un engagement constant pour se […]

La production animale entraine de nombreux défis et des pressions exercées par la société concernant la tendance du marché international et l’exigence de systèmes de production plus respectueux du bien-être animal et de l’environnement. Le secteur laitier assiste à une transition des étables à stabulation entravée (SE) vers de nouvelles étables à stabulation libre (SL). […]

We want to create an artificial intelligent assistant for businesses. It uses state-of-art Natural Language Processing models to understand what people say and seamlessly converting it into computer executable orders. For example, if someone asks, “How much did we spend on training?” it can turn that it into a meticulously structured SQL query such as […]

The goal of this research is to utilize alternative sources to plastic in the development of straws. This makes use of natural and biodegradable materials to source for the development and testing of straws.

Cloud computing is gaining traction during this last decade through its offering of almost unlimited computer resources accessible from anywhere with minimal management efforts. However, one of its less favorable aspects is security. Currently, the flexibility and elasticity of the cloud are not adequately used to put in place a more efficient defense. This project […]

Providing compassionate care is essential to the delivery of high quality health care and services, and supports positive health outcomes. Providing compassionate care is an important goal for health care organizations, and to evaluate continuous quality improvement activities we require questionnaires to measure compassionate care. In the long-term care environment, some residents may experience severe […]

Hemophilia is a genetic bleeding disorder in which the blood flow is impaired from clotting. If you have hemophilia, you may bleed for a longer time than others after an injury. The primary goal of our work is to enable patients with the condition to make effective decisions when injuries occur. For instance, our proposed […]

This project will study how underbody components (tailpipe, muffler, rear fascia brackets and spare wheel compartment) withstand thermal loads over time through the use of a heat-transfer model (using RadTherm simulation package) of the vehicle under investigation as well as the first-order Taylor Series expansion. The Taylor Series will be used to calculate the sensitivity […]

Un stabilisateur de sol écoresponsable destiné à l’industrie de la construction pour le renforcement de sols meubles sera développé avec cette proposition de recherche. Une personne stagiaire de premier cycle universitaire en chimie participera à la formulation de plusieurs prototypes en utilisant différentes fibres végétales, biopolymères ainsi que différentes huiles de base. Cette personne stagiaire […]
