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 […]

A multi-party live video communication, such as live tutorials and fitness classes, are an emerging application which involves a large number of users from different places with heterogeneous network conditions like 3G/4G/5G or Wi-Fi networks. Video Content/Service providers usually deploy their Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) over the public Internet to avoid expenses of dedicated connectivity. […]

Scrawlr is a platform for unconstrained, global interaction with all internet content and users. Scrawlr allows for user evaluation and unconstrained classification of any Scrawlr-hosted or non-Scrawlr content. For non-Scrawlr content, this evaluation and classification allowance will be first at the URL level but will subsequently be provided at the individual content component level. The […]

Afin de contribuer à la transition énergétique qui abandonne progressivement l’utilisation des énergies fossiles et ainsi répondre aux objectifs fixés par le Canada en matière de changement climatique, ce projet vise à fabriquer une membrane imprimée avec des catalyseurs capable de produire de l’hydrogène à partir de l’eau à faible coût. Pour y parvenir, divers […]

On remarque habituellement une baisse dans la pratique de l’activité physique chez les étudiants au secondaire comparativement au primaire, phénomène plus marqué chez les filles. Toutefois, en Mauricie, on constate un engouement particulier et grandissant pour la pratique du volleyball chez les adolescentes. En premier lieu, notre étude cherche à éclaircir les raisons qui font […]

Actuellement, le suivi des intrants chez Elkem Métal est une problématique. Dans ce projet, on vise à améliorer la caractérisation du quartz. On retrouve parmi les contaminants de ce minéral le titane et l’aluminium. Ces deux éléments peuvent être nuisibles pour la réalisation de certains produits qui demandent des restrictions très étroites. Selon la composition […]

Precast concrete is used in many types of structures including those serving commercial, multi-unit residential, and industrial uses. Hollow core prestressed slabs (or planks) are one type of precast concrete that is used primarily for flooring systems. These planks have advantages of being able to span long distances while being relatively thin and light when […]
