L’Institut généalogique Drouin (IGD) possède la collection de documents généalogiques la plus vaste au Canada. Une collection composée de plusieurs de millions de documents historiques de natures et de longueurs très variées. Bien qu’elle soit aujourd’hui entièrement numérisée, la majorité de cette collection ne peut malheureusement être intégrée dans les outils de recherche développés par […]

Dans ce projet, on propose de développer des applications afin de recycler les sacs plastiques en fin de vie. Pour ce faire, des études seront menées afin de déterminer la composition de tous les sacs disponibles par un centre de tri afin de les transformer, seuls ou avec d’autres matières résiduelles, dans des pièces moulées. […]

The proposed project intends to make an evaluation of the Canadian public sector’s use of technology in budget tracking operations. The purpose is to make a recommendation on a technological “future state” to address the discovered shortcomings and to mitigate future operational failures, as well as evaluating the impact of adopting such innovative technology. The […]

Chronic Kideney Disease can require patients to undergo dialysis or transplantation as treatment options. Ontario Renal Network (ORN) is responsible for setting the strategic direction of services, their aim is to improve the quality of life of every patients. The project will try to define suitability criteria for home dialysis patients by analyzing historic patient […]

The ultimate level of privacy is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it guards honest users’ private information; while benefiting criminals to perform fraudulent activities anonymously. Blockchain as a decentralized environment is not prone to this problem. Decentralization enables bad actors to conduct wash trading, money laundering, tax evasion, scam, and fraud, to mention […]

In customized healtchare systems, the service providers tailor the health services based on the different types of patients. However, the actual type of a patient is hidden from the decision-maker. The observed signals form a partial picture that is an estimate of the actual state of the subject. The decision maker’s knowledge about the actual […]

Boiser les terres agricoles abandonnées (friches) est une méthode reconnue pour créer des puits de CO2 pour la lutte contre les changements climatiques. Or, avant d’enclencher tout projet de boisement, il est essentiel d’évaluer si les plantations ainsi créées procurent de réels bénéfices par rapport aux écosystèmes qu’elles remplacent ; cela inclut les effets en […]

Ces produits ont des applications variées dont l’efficacité repose sur le choix des ingrédients actifs. Les petits fruits du Québec, tel que la camerise […]

The production of formate salts – one of the most preferable chemicals for de-icing via electrocatalytic CO2 reduction is currently a promising technology. Lignocellulosic biomass is a potential material for the manufacture of electrocatalysts because of not only its great abundance and availability but its conversion inducing graphite-based materials, which are excellent catalyst supports. The […]

Drawing to Inclusion is an investigation that will propose a tool/approach to facilitate user’s involvement in the housing design process. AIR studio alongside Design for Inclusion, a research-to-action initiative, are seeking new methods with which to interface people’s lived-experience with the spaces in which they live.

The most energy intensive component of mineral processing is comminution (crushing and grinding), consuming, on average, about 50% of the total electric energy of a mine site. To optimize and thereby improve the energy performance, accurate measurement of the ore hardness is critical. The proposed study is aimed at developing a new test apparatus that […]
