The proposed project will explore how cannabis consumption affects the cardiovascular system. Additionally, this project will examine how these effects might impact humans abilities to perform exercise following cannabis use, and whether cannabis use alters how exercise is perceived. It will also explore whether these effects vary if cannabis is inhaled by different methods, or […]

Pour favoriser le maintien de la production en contexte de développement durable, nous cherchons à conceptualiser un système permettant au Port de Trois-Rivières d’identifier les sources bruyantes individuelles qui sont à l’origine de dépassements des niveaux sonores permis. Les techniques traditionnelles ne permettant pas d’établir ce lien de causalité, nous faisons appel aux avancées récentes […]

Sweet basil is a leafy, flavourful and fragrant herb commonly used many types of cooking. It has not only nutrient values but also many health benefits. Basil likes warm growing environment; therefore, it is commonly produced in greenhouses in Canada. To keep leafy vegetables fresh, right after harvesting majority of them are normally stored and […]

NeoCtech is a cleantech company producing critical rare earth metals from recycled waste magnets with an electrified, clean and green process.
