La pratique de différentes formes de loisir permet aux personnes immigrantes de s’intégrer dans la société québécoise en côtoyant d’autres individus d’origines diverses. Toutefois, nous connaissons peu de choses sur ce que représente vraiment le loisir pour les immigrants et comment il participe au processus d’acculturation dans les régions du Québec. Afin de mieux penser […]

La barre russe est une discipline de cirque dans laquelle deux porteurs se tiennent à chaque extrémité d’une barre, tandis qu’un voltigeur debout sur la barre se propulse dans les airs. Le port de la barre sur une épaule génère une charge asymétrique sur le dos des porteurs. La fabrication d’une barre ergonomique est nécessaire […]

Many Aboriginal peoples want to participate in economic development on their territories. They want to be treated with respect and have their cultural heritage recognized. They also want to ensure that resource development on their territories is safe, healthy and does not degrade the natural environment. There are business and IT solutions that exist that […]

People with type 1 diabetes (T1D) treated with a basal bolus insulin regimen need to match their insulin bolus calculation with the estimated carbohydrate content of food to maintain glucose control. We want to provide them with a more flexible approach and give them the opportunity to quickly adapt mealtime insulin using automated carbohydrate counting […]

Built environments have been experiencing low productivity issues for a long time due to poor collaborative processes, inefficient information exchange, and discontinuity between design and construction. With more and more construction projects moving towards off-site construction, the concept of Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) is gaining momentum. This strategy is expected to be adopted […]

CAC recently announced a partnership with the Federal Government of Canada towards achieving Net Zero Concrete by 2050, enabling policy and investments. The industry has been vigorously provided low-carbon concrete solutions accepted in the relevant CSA standards. It is currently providing data for more technologies that offer deeper carbon cuts to reach the 2030 carbon […]

Thermally insulated systems (pipeline, process piping and process equipment) in the hydrocarbon industry require frequent assessment using various non-destructive examination. To access the surface underneath thermal insulations, inspection ports are widely used which have advantages of facilitating the high confidence data. The downside of inspection ports is when these allow moisture seepage which causes corrosion […]

Les femmes autochtones, noires et racialisées se retrouvent confrontées, au quotidien, à de nombreux obstacles systémiques et notamment des injustices épistémiques. Dans les milieux communautaires et universitaires plus particulièrement, ces femmes font l’expérience de différents rapports de pouvoir inégalitaires qui les empêchent de participer pleinement à la production des savoirs collectifs. Ce projet a pour […]

Firefighters risk their lives every day to protect ours. Their protective clothing is critical to allow them performing their duties while remaining safe. Unfortunately, the performance of their protective clothing degrades over time as it is exposed to high heat, UV light, moisture, launderings, etc., which raises serious safety concerns for firefighters and other people […]

The research proposed here aims to develop methods to increase the flight time of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) using atmospheric energy in the form of rising air thermals, as is often done by glider pilots. This would allow UAVs to rely less on their onboard motor and reduce the amount of energy consumed during flight. […]

Chinook salmon are anadromous fish, with juveniles spending 1-2 years in freshwater before migrating to sea to mature for 2-5 years and returning to freshwater to spawn and die. ‘Smoltification’ is the physiological, morphological, and behavioural transition of freshwater stream-dwelling ‘parr’ to downstream migrating ‘smolts’ and, eventually, saltwater marine ‘post-smolts’. If the salmon do not […]

This study will, through a survey of the Incubator members of the National Angel Capital Organization (NACO) establish a baseline for Incubator activity in Canada and examine the impct that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on both incubators and their member startups and assess to what degree changes caused by the pandemic may have long-lasting […]
