Quantum computers are no longer fantasises of distant future. Recent advances in quantum computing hardware as well quantum algorithms offer a wide variety of possibilities to improve existing classical algorithms. Some of the operations involved in the standard classical algorithms might be performed much more efficiently using quantum machines. The current proposal will explore the […]

Youth living in social housing often face a number of challenges to success, including histories of intergenerational poverty, high rates of mental health and substance use issues, limited educational attainment, and weak or absent work histories. Secure employment is one approach to addressing key social determinants of health, including having a secure income, food security, […]

La firme de jeux vidéo québécoise Eidos souhaite évaluer l’impact de l’implantation de la semaine de quatre jours, du lundi au jeudi, dans son organisation. Cette mesure mise en place à l’automne 2021, implique que la semaine de travail régulière passe de 40 heures à 32 heures par semaine sans que le salaire des employés […]

Around the world, birds have been declining at an alarming rate. It is therefore important that conservationists use as many resources as they can when making informed conservation decisions. Autonomous recording units (ARUs) have become an increasingly popular choice for monitoring bird populations, because they can be left in highly remote regions (such as Canada’s […]

We will research ways of tracking user behavior on a mobile application, as well as being able to remotely update the application without having to update program code. Hence allowing customizations per user, and the ability to make the change at any time. The partner organization FarmAtHand will benefit by receiving a brand new mobile […]

An early-exercise option is a financial agreement which grants one party the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a pre-agreed price at a series of pre-determined times. The problem of pricing an option is of great practical importance and is typically addressed using computationally expensive numerical simulation methods. […]

Un nombre important de personnes qui pratiquent un sport ont vécu de la violence dans ce contexte. Récemment, des stratégies de prévention et d’intervention ont été mises en place afin de réduire la violence en contexte sportif. Au Québec, le Réseau Loisir et Sport Québec (RLSQ) coordonne un mécanisme indépendant de traitement des plaintes qui […]

Le projet consiste en une étude géologique du gisement filonien polymétallique (Ag-Zn-Pb) de Miguel Auza, situé au Mexique et détenu par Excellon Resources inc. L’objectif principal de l’étude est la construction d’un modèle expliquant la genèse du gisement. Plusieurs méthodes seront appliquées et contribueront à définir l’âge et les conditions de formation du système minéralisé. […]

The project will provide FarmAtHand – the partner organization a scalable and secure solution for making applications on multiple mobile platform like iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. With this solution FarmAtHand will benefit by receiving brand new mobile applications on iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and websites on which they can implement their farming approach. The […]

This research has two goals to a) increase our understanding of the quantity of construction materials and embodied GHG used, in current practice, to create new housing in the City of Toronto and b) to identify opportunities to use changes in building and neighbourhood form to create more housing with less total embodied GHG. The […]

Cardiovascular disease is one of the world’s leading causes of mortality. However, due to a scarcity of heart donors, new cardiac regenerative medicine sources are desperately needed. The increasing use of biomaterials in tissue engineering has created a direct and promising platform. However, technical advancements are still needed to properly create a heart structure with […]

Most forests slow down climate warming by removing CO2 from the atmosphere and storing it in biomass and soils. However, how much CO2 they remove depends on how much CO2 different forest compartments (vegetation and soils) take up from or release to the atmosphere. New sensor technologies have been developed allowing year-round measurements of CO2 […]
