Canada is in the midst of an opioid epidemic. Although oral opioid agonist therapies (OAT) are effective for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD), a number of barriers pose a significant challenge to treatment initiation and retention. In 2018, Health Canada approved a new medication for OUD, a once-monthly injection, which may be able […]

Ce projet proposé par EXFO vise à améliorer la performance des Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) pour l’évaluation de la qualité d’un lien de fibre optique utilisé pour la télécommunication. L’objectif principal est d’améliorer l’identification des événements et leur classification en utilisant des réseaux neuronaux. Les méthodes actuelles peinent à identifier des événements successifs rapprochés, particulièrement […]

Since the end of whaling, the population of humpback whales feeding in the Canadian Pacific waters has been steadily increasing. As generalist feeders, these large cetaceans aggregate near the coast of British Columbia to feed on krill, Pacific herring, and other schooling fish.

Nowadays, aircrafts use computer-regulated flight control systems that replace mechanical controls with electronic interfaces. These sensor interfaces convert physical movements or quantities (temperature or pressure for instance) to electronic signals between flight control computers (FCCs) and actuators and sensors. A large number of sensor interfaces are used in an aircraft to allow FCCs communicating with […]

Plants are always associated with a well-coordinated and beneficial community of microbes – the phytomicrobiome; this plus the associated plant forms the holobiont, the entity that provides crop yield. There is considerable communication between the phytomicrobiome and the plant, often through signal compounds. Bacillin 20 is a small protein (a peptide) produced by a Bacillus […]

Bridge abutments are commonly built with a construction technology called Mechanically Stabilized Earth that provides structural soundness. The core element is a composite material that alternates layers of backfill soil with layers of galvanized steel reinforcements. Although the structural design has been well developed since its introduction in the construction practices, the degradation of the […]

Additive Manufacturing is a rapidly growing technology in the gas turbine industry.
