Ce stage a pour objectif l’optimisation de l’algorithme d’analyse olfactive développé par Odotech. Une expertise poussée du domaine des mathématiques et plus particulièrement en statistique sont nécessaires à ce stage. C’est dans cette optique, qu’Odotech a offert un stage à un étudiant à la maîtrise en statistique du département de mathématique de l’Université de Montréal. […]

The climate of northern Quebec and Labrador is strongly influenced by climate change and internal (natural) climate variability on time scales ranging from years to decades. Internal variability occurs without human influence and can superimpose onto the anthropogenically forced climate change signal, thus adding uncertainty in the assessment of local climate change impacts. Northern communities […]

Après 5 années de mise en œuvre du programme PROAction par la Société d’Aide au Développement des Collectivités de Nicolet -Bécancour, il est important de porter un regard sur son impact chez les bénéficiaires. PROAction vise à accompagner les entreprises, les organismes et les municipalités de son territoire à mettre en place des actions de […]

With the rise of mobile technology and online communities, social media has become an increasingly important information channel for investors, especially the younger-generation retail investors whose number is rapidly growing. The recent ‘MEME’ stocks phenomenon clearly demonstrates the potential influence of social media on the market. A ‘MEME’ stock refers to a stock that gains […]

L’ordonnancement des retraits d’équipements électriques de transport est un défi auquel de nombreuses compagnies oeuvrant dans le domaine de l’énergie doivent faire face. En effet, chaque équipement de transport (p.e., une ligne de transmission) s’use avec le temps et doit, durant son cycle de vie, être maintenu pour s’assurer de son bon fonctionnement. Une fois […]

This project aims to innovate a Made-in-Canada methodology for producing non-isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) to replace traditional polyurethane (PU) rigid foam which is produced through a hazardous process from toxic materials such as isocyanates and phosgene.1 We aim to partner with Polychem Consulting Solutions Ltd, a privately held Canadian company based in Vancouver, BC and a […]

L’Organisation des Nations Unis pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture estime qu’il se consomme environ 112 millions de tonnes de porc annuellement. Chaque kilogramme de porc a son empreinte environnementale est de 2,92 kg GES équivalent CO2 et requiert entre 4 et 6 mètres carrés de surface cultivable. Afin de maintenir la production de viande porcine tout […]

Glycoconjugate vaccines have shown efficiency to control infectious diseases and hold great promises in cancer immunotherapy. Nonetheless, there is an important need to identify novel immunostimulating carriers for carbohydrate antigens as well as to optimize the currently used protein carriers. This Mitacs project aims at developing versatile biochemical approaches and technology for the design and […]

The Cambrien Lake, Nachicapau Lake and Fort McKenzie area (the “CNFM”) has been attributed high conservation potential by Nunavik’s regional stakeholders due to its exceptional biophysical characteristics and its significance to the Naskapis, as it includes a major Naskapi gathering place. The CNFM’s important hydroelectric and mining potentials prevent strict protection status at this time, […]

The field of responsible investing is rapidly expanding, with even greater attention on the importance of responsible investment with each passing year, as seen most recently in the aftermath of the impactful 2021 COP26 summit, where responsible investment was key focal point. Directing our financial resources in a sustainable direction has the potential to have […]

Factors that contribute to the generation of misinformation and distrust in Canadians around drug and vaccine safety and effectiveness include the impact of poor-quality or underpowered studies to influence the perception of therapeutic effectiveness, research priorities, and resource allocation; and the lack of understanding in the processes involved in drug and vaccine research, development, monitoring, […]

Modern power systems wherein renewable resources such as solar and wind power are extensively used need to rely on some means for energy storage to address the intermittency of such resources. This proposal investigates a class of power electronic converters that are able to connect battery energy systems to the grid and provide multi-directional pathways […]
