Lameness is one of the top welfare problems in dairy cattle and is often caused by hoof lesions. The aim of the current project is to develop and validate the use of a topical pain mitigating product to provide analgesia to cattle undergoing hoof-trimming with severe hoof horn lesions. To achieve this objective a topical […]

Le présent projet a pour objectif d’évaluer les impacts de l’implantation d’une brigade débarcadère aux abords d’écoles primaire sur la sécurité routière des élèves qui les fréquentent. Par l’utilisation d’observations sur le terrain à l’aide de grilles d’évaluation, l’équipe de recherche pourra mesurer les effets de telles brigades sur les comportements routiers aux abords des […]

In the last few years, a high increase in the interest of traders and investors towards financial instruments directly led to an important augmentation of the information received daily by exchanges. Exchange regulators, who constantly monitor markets to unveil potential infractions, traditionally perform their investigation manually and the notable growth in market activity represents an […]

Ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scintigraphy has a major role to play in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE). V/Q scintigraphy rather helps infer the presence of PE based on compromised perfusion of the occluded segmental and sub-segmental pulmonary arteries. Therefore, expert knowledge of the bronchopulmonary segmental anatomy on the various 2D planar projections of the lung and […]

La compagnie LM Wind Power est l’un des leaders mondiaux dans la fabrication de pales d’éoliennes et produit plus de 13 000 pales par an. Celles-ci sont composées en majeure partie de fibres de verre, d’un polymère thermodurcissable et dans certains cas, de fibres de carbone. En plus du défi bien connu du recyclage des […]

The primary role of the lubrication system of aero-engines is to remove the excess heat generated by the movement of the bearings, gears and shafts. An aircraft engine has bearing chambers to contain the oil used for lubrication and excess heat removal. Inefficient scavenging of the oil out of the bearing chamber can result in […]

Pénurie de main-d’œuvre, transformation numérique, concurrence étrangère; le rythme de travail s’accélère, s’intensifie et la charge des travailleurs augmente, plus particulièrement depuis la pandémie de la COVID-19. L’autonomisation du travail a permis d’éliminer certaines tâches routinières et de gagner en efficacité, mais elle contribue également à complexifier la tâche et à augmenter les ressources cognitives […]

Tailings dams are used to store water and waste that come as by-products from the mining process. They can be huge in size, as big as lakes, and reach 300 meters high. Tailings storage facilities can pose a threat to local wildlife and ecosystem, especially in the case of failure. In Canada, the Mount Polley […]

Face à la nécessité de décarboner et réduire l’impact environnemental de l’économie québécoise, le Front commun pour la transition énergétique (FCTÉ) développe un scénario de transition dont la ligne directrice est une réduction de moitié de la consommation en énergie. Une telle réduction de la consommation d’énergie, combinée à un mix adéquat de politiques publiques, […]

Like most Canadian municipalities, the City of Ottawa is struggling to reign in urban sprawl and encourage sustainable residential development. According to my doctoral research, few residential developers in Ottawa are heeding the call to build green. Profits and markets are larger for single detached houses in the suburbs, and housing consumers choose green construction […]

This study will survey health care and social service providers, as well as parents, in a Northern Ontario community to determine how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted availability of and access to services for postnatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs).

Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as metal 3D printing, can revolutionize the way we make things by ‘printing’ parts one layer at a time using a laser and metal powder. However, AM is an inherently expensive process. One of the major costs of the process is the metal powders, with some powders costing hundreds of […]
