Patients can be exposed to airborne allergens in specially designed and controlled rooms for clinical studies. This research aims at improving the spatial homogeneity and temporal stability of airborne pollen concentration in a new exposure room over a period from 2 to 6 hours. Initially, the flow dynamics and particle dispersion will be also investigated […]

Cette étude vise à mieux comprendre dans quelle mesure la fermeture prolongée des salles de spectacle pendant la pandémie de COVID-19 a eu des effets sur les habitudes de consommation culturelle des publics des arts de la scène. Alors que la reprise se fait tranquillement dans ces milieux, comment la période que nous venons de […]

To evaluate the overall performance of the newly developed Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) in flexure, including deflections, stiffness and ultimate capacity, an experimental program has recently been launched. The program includes transverse bending tests of a total of 18 full-sized SIPs with various configurations using a vacuum chamber. Pressure and deflections are measured during the […]

The recent covid pandemic has demonstrated the need to develop new rapid vaccine technology. Even the newest mRNA technology has limitations, including short duration of immunity, poor stability, and is relatively expensive. Pegasus Biotech is in the process of developing a new class of DNA plasmids that are optimally designed for vaccine use, are low-cost, […]

Computer games are one of the main use cases for AMD graphics cards. To ensure the highest performance and quality possible, AMD has to test its graphics hardware and software on dozens of game titles and hundreds of system configurations. While some game titles provide built-in automated benchmarks, the majority of gameplay testing is manual […]

There are Atlantic sturgeon in the Restigouche River estuary. This species is millions of years old and it is still found in our waters today. Fishers have reported their sightings every year in the last decade. Unfortunately, this species is now considered to be a species at risk of extinction. Because their numbers are so […]

The project aims to facilitate the research and development of new drugs by employing machine learning methods to generate new molecules. This includes understanding various properties about known molecules by training deep learning models for the purpose of molecular generation. The gained understanding of molecules will be used to improve existing models and generate novel […]

Development of high yielding winter wheat cultivars, resistant or tolerant to different stresses, with good agronomic and quality characteristics, is important to wheat growers and industry. Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a serious wheat disease caused by a fungus Fusarium graminearum. FHB epidemics in Ontario were reported in 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2013 and 2015. […]

Le CHU Sainte-Justine (CHUSJ), centre hospitalier universitaire à vocation pédiatrique, est un acteur clé du système de santé québécois. Principal hôpital mère-enfant au Canada, deuxième plus grand centre de recherche pédiatrique et premier centre de recherche clinique en pédiatrie, le CHUSJ cherche aujourd’hui à se positionner à l’avant-garde des pratiques de gestion. Le contexte actuel […]

The research will document process knowledge that is currently held by individual employees. The main objective is that this personal knowledge about processes can be shared and used to create standardized documents which, as a result, can improve coordination and collaboration. The documentation work will include reviewing existing organization’s documents, engaging personnel in series of […]

Amber is a novel preservation media for diagnostic tissue biopsies that enables superior histology, biomarker viability, and high RNA quantity. Amber is proposed to increase visualization of tumor margins on MRI. The current challenge of evaluating post-surgical specimen is the MRI technology is succumbed to surgically induced artefacts from tissue-air interface. Tumor margin detection is […]

Fluoro-polymer powder materials have been spotlighted for the use of robust outer surface morphology applications and artistic pattern creation for the outside window in global construction market. However, this anti-sticking art pattern generation on metallic plates like aluminum plates are very challenging compared with the printing on the glass window. So, it’s been a long […]
