Presently, tunicates pose a serious challenge for the mussel aquaculture industry in PEI and Atlantic Provinces, which leads to a dramatic increase in the cost of production for both growers and processors. Although tunicate can be applied as the feedstock for the preparation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), an abundant amount of protein-rich liquid stream is […]

Ce projet de recherche mené avec notre partenaire, l’Association Québécoise pour le Loisir des Personnes Handicapées vise à développer une classification de l’accessibilité de sentiers naturels (urbain) en partant d’indicateurs qualitatifs (motivation, attentes, besoins, satisfaction, équilibre défi-compétence, etc.) et quantitatifs (capacité fonctionnelle, force, endurance, etc.). Le présent projet se structure, d’une part, autour d’une démarche […]

The promise of low-cost fabrication via “wet” processes, such as inkjet printing, in manufacturing flat panel displays and solid-state lighting has long been one of the main motivations behind the pursuit of Organic Light-Emitting Devices (OLEDs). The vast majority of OLEDs in commercial products are still fabricated by costly “dry” vacuum-deposition methods however. A primary […]

The last twenty years have seen whirlwind advancement in production of metallic parts via additive manufacturing (AM). This technology has surpassed its origins in manufacturing titanium parts; additive manufacturing is now applicable to a vast range of alloys, including stainless steels. The principal advantage of constructing parts layer by layer is to afford the capacity […]

Every year, all planes must be deiced prior to airbourne when outside temperatures hit the cold seasons (fall to spring), in order to ensure a safe takeoff. Currently, trends in the deicing industry are still leaning towards having all operation informations logged down on paper slits. This approach is consuming in terms of time, material […]

Le secteur biolimentaire québécois doit faire face à des problématiques de concurrence internationale forte, de manque de relève, de rendements non-optimaux et d’un besoin urgent de réduire son impact environnemental. La littérature scienti-fique met en évidence l’importance d’une transition numérique du secteur, soit l’utilisation des nouvelles technologies, qui permettrait au secteur d’améliorer ou résoudre ces […]

We are well aware of the impact heart disease has in thalassemia patients. This impacts upon patients quality of life, and ultimately that death due to heart failure is an all too common event. We now understand much about the complexity of the heart, its structure and how it functions. This has also allowed researchers […]

The abundance of electronic health record (EHR) data has accelerated the adoption of data-driven methods to automate various tasks ranging from patient care to resource management in hospitals around the world. The use of specific types of data such as X-ray images, doctor’s note and others have been used individually to implement machine learning models […]

We will test the hypothesis that southern resident killer whales have been endangered since the late 1800s when mining, logging, dams, pollution, and water diversion destroyed the Chinook populations that returned in the millions to Oregon and California. We will estimate historic run sizes of Chinook salmon available to northern and southern resident killer whales […]

We are witnessing the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) which provides ubiquitous sensing and computing capabilities to connect a broad range of things to the Internet while connecting people and spaces. That opens a wide range of opportunities to foster user-centered service, improve safety, and well-being. Intelligent IoT-based solutions have been shown […]

Les champignons produisent une panoplie de molécules qui ont des utilisations multiples dans plusieurs domaines tel que dans l’industrie agroalimentaire, les applications environnementales via la biodégradation de déchets et rejets industriels, et la médecine. Des composés issus de plusieurs champignons ont démontré une capacité à inhiber des virus et des bactéries, ralentir des maladies neurologiques […]

Sustainable finance is a rapidly evolving discipline, where investors are in the process of acquiring and developing new tools allowing them to evaluate the sustainable impact of the companies they choose to invest in. Public companies have adopted the practice of publicly disclosing ESG-related information under the form of public reports following ESG disclosure frameworks […]
