This proposed project is to develop efficient sensing materials and devices that can detect trace amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS), in particular a type of activated oxygen, namely singlet oxygen. Detection of singlet oxygen is an important but very challenging task in biological and pharmaceutical applications. The main difficulty in detecting singlet oxygen is […]

En 2001, t‘Hart, Boin et Heyse anticipaient déjà la pluralisation des crises que vivent les firmes. À l‘heure actuelle, le public est plus que jamais sensible aux messages qu‘envoient les organisations à leurs commettants et la gestion des épisodes de crise est maintenant un enjeu permanent dans la stratégie d‘entreprise. À l‘ère de mondialisation, les […]

This partnership project with Hydro-Québec focuses on providing a better-informed optimization for service point location and modernizing the architecture of the optimization system. Our objective is to leverage the abundant data from Hydro-Québec to build robust forecasting models that can predict the workload demand at each potential or available service point. We also aim to […]

We have developed a natural product acaricide that is based on balsam fir (Abies balsamea) essential oil. The product kills overwintering ticks. It is designed to be applied to lawns, gardens and municipal parks in the late fall to kill ticks over the winter. The purpose of this project is to complete testing under semi-natural […]

Large fiberglass parts cannot be easily recycled. In this proposal, a recycling method will be developed to meet the needs of Proslide. Waste Fiberglass generated by Proslide will be transformed into recycled parts that can be re-used by the company. This will accomplished in several steps by first taking the waste parts to a recycling […]

Blueberries consumption has increased in the last decades due to their delicious flavour and recognized health benefits. However, even if the blueberry flavour is naturally delightful, some consumers are concerned because this flavour is not consistent over weeks, which could result in a decreased purchasing interest. Blueberry flavour depends on many factors, especially the genetic […]

Today’s high performance computers offer the possibility of computing complex large scale computational fluid dynamics simulations in a reasonable time. In practice, exploting the thousands of computing cores to achieve the desired solution time is very challenging. These challenges include finding enough work to keep all these cores busy, and assigning work to different parts […]

The intent of this research project is to make iCBT technologies safer, and evidenced based for the Canadian populations. Many available products on the market have not been tested or evaluated for safety and whether or not they are effective in helping people self-manage their mental health needs is unknown. The research and interviews from […]

Le nombre d’articles scientifiques a grandement augmenté ces dernières années dans la plupart des disciplines et notamment en chimie. Ce flux grandissant d’informations complique le suivi des innovations techniques issues de la recherche et leur intégration dans le processus de production par les entreprises du secteur de la chimie. Ce projet vise donc à développer […]

Concrete—the most common construction material globally—represents the main component of construction. Cement production and its use in concrete as a binder are among the highest carbon dioxide producing processes, thereby contributing to climate change. Any decrease in carbon emissions from construction will help improve the industry’s long-term sustainability and help the environment. One potential solution […]

People with Intellectual Disability (ID) experience higher rates of mental health disorders compared to the general population and yet access services to a lesser degree. The present project will begin to address the lack of access to mental health services by providing a resource designed to enhance mental health literacy, and provide validated self-management strategies […]

The goal is to develop a best practice guide for Canadian credit unions, focusing on the legal duties of Canadian directors and officers in respect of managing climate change, best practices for corporate boards, reporting on the latest global research on best climate governance practices for credit unions.
