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 […]

Pour résoudre une problématique liée à l’analyse d’images en temps réel, Lapalme Gestion Conception Mécanique recherche un algorithme d’intelligence artificielle qui soit performant dans un contexte de tâches agricoles. Cependant, malgré la grande quantité de recherche faite en intelligence artificielle, l’évaluation de modèles sur des données agricoles est plutôt rare. Ce projet vise donc à […]

Community well-being is important for building housing, income, food, and health security. The COMEAI causal model is available for evaluating the risk to housing, income, food, and health security criteria. The model has a potential for improvement to account for the lack of critical practical application and evidence-based literature support. This research aims to validate […]

Bowel cancers and diseases are treated with surgery. But recovery from surgery is difficult. Patients can experience long hospital stays, complications after surgery, and a delay in the return of their usual daily activities. The 6-min walk distance (6MWD) is a test performed before surgery to evaluate physical fitness. If a patient is unable to […]

Mining generates large amounts of waste (e.g. waste rock and tailings), some of which contains sulfide minerals that oxidize and produce acid rock drainage (ARD) when exposed to oxygen. Mine waste is commonly stored on-site in storage facilities which can account for > 80% of all ARD produced. Several methods exist to address ARD potential, […]

This research study will examine the effectiveness of a vibration massage system in automotive seating. The vibration parameters of the massage system will be tested by examining different vibration frequencies, types of vibration exposure, and location of the vibration while occupants are sitting in an automotive seat. The intern will measure biometric data of the […]
