Contrôle structural, évolution hydrothermale et chronologie de la minéralisation filonienne du secteur de Miguel Auza, ceinture argentifère Mexicaine

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. […]

Design and development of a novel bioink for HeartPrint

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 […]

Combining net ecosystem CO2 exchange and soil CO2 efflux measurements to partition ecosystem respiration in a mixed wood forest

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 […]

Étude comparative de modèles de segmentation d’instances de légumes

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 […]

Assessing Community Well-being Risk for Supporting Decisions on Investments for Social Sustainability

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 […]

Is correction of malnutrition sufficient to improve low physical function before elective colorectal cancer surgery? A randomized controlled trial of nutrition vs nutrition and exercise prehabilitation

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 […]

Use of Advanced Customizable Leach Columns as a tool to characterize the physiochemical processes occurring in mine waste rock and tailings

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, […]

Effectiveness of Vibration Massage in Automotive Seating

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 […]

Influence de la salinité sur la toxicité d’un effluent minier lors de l’enlèvement de l’azote ammoniacal par nitrification-dénitrification

L’exploitation des sites miniers nécessite une importante consommation d’eau. En cas de rejet en milieu naturel, les contaminants (dans le cas présent, l’azote ammoniacal, mais aussi les nitrites et nitrates) présents peuvent avoir des impacts sur l’environnement. La mise en place d’une filière de traitement est alors nécessaire. Celle-ci doit permettre de répondre aux normes […]
