This project will provide a biomechanical comparison of commonly used patient handling techniques performed using a standard hospital bed outfitted with and without a Vendlet (vendlet.com) patient transfer device. This Vendlet technology has the potential to significantly reduce the musculoskeletal and joint strain to health care providers in both acute and long-term care facilities. The […]

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is a medical condition that affects approximately 400,000 Canadians. HFrEF lowers quality of life and life expectancy. While there are several effective medication options available, the choices surrounding exactly which medications to take are difficult for clinicians and patients given the complex trade-offs of benefits and downsides. This […]

La réduction de l’émission des gaz à effet de serre est l’un des enjeux du monde actuel. En effet comme le confirme l’explique le rapport du GIEC les prévisions sur les prochaines années sont désastreuses si on conserve le même mode de vie. Dans cette optique, le développement de matériaux innovants recyclables pour remplacer les […]

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

EastCann, a small group of legacy cannabis growers, uses nitrogen packages for postharvest storage of dried cannabis. There is concern that nitrogen packaging adversely affects volatile terpenes and cannibinoids, each of which are important to cannabis products. This project will examine postharvest changes in terpenes and cannabinoids over time in nitrogen packaging compared to ambient […]

The project aims to distinguish profiles of software vendors that allow the exploitation of computer security vulnerabilities. Data about the vendors and the vulnerabilities they exploit in their software will be collected from illicit software sales forums. The vulnerabilities will be classified according to what they can do when exploited. Then profiles will be developed […]

This research proposes a way to make speed up video game testing by creating a tool that can understand how a player moves through the game without any special information. Usually, video games are tested manually to find bugs and problems, which takes a lot of time and effort. The proposed solution would use gameplay […]

The industrial drainage plow is a mechanized tool used for the installation of agricultural drainage and land reclamation. A large machine controls the depth and angle of the mole to determine the grade and depth of the tile for piping or cable to be installed. The plow is used for agricultural drainage, trenching, and installation […]

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and progressive autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS), including the brain and the spinal cord. In MS, the immune system attacks the myelin that covers the neuronal fibers, resulting in inflammation and damage of CNS that leads to a wide range of symptoms concerning movement, sensation, […]

Communities across Canada are planning for significant population and job growth. They do this through Official Community Plans and Zoning Bylaws that regulate how land can be used, whether it’s for homes, jobs, shopping, parks, schools, and more. Many of these communities were once established either as trading posts near a wealth of natural resources […]

With recent advances in microscopy techniques for calcium imaging, scientists are now able to monitor the neurons in large brain areas of living animals. However, this also creates significant challenges for scientists who must make sense of the large and complex datasets generated. As a result, there is a need for new componential methods and […]

The vehicle routing problem and its extensions have been successful in optimizing a measure such as time or cost, but only when these measures can be accurately estimated or approximated. However, this is not the case in complex environments. Particularly in urban routing, it is generally complicated, and efficient routing requires tacit knowledge of the […]
