La production de pièces techniques en caoutchouc met en oeuvre un procédé de transformation irréversible, la vulcanisation, qui permet d’attribuer à la pièce des propriétes mécaniques qui doivent respecter des valeurs de spécifications précises. Un non-respect des critères de qualité engendre un gaspillage, car en raison du caractère difficilement recyclable du caoutchouc, la matière des […]

We need to understand whether estuarine marsh habitat recovers to the same condition quality as undisturbed areas after exclusion of intensive goose grazing. Recovery through natural processes takes longer than restoration assisted by transplanting, however understanding how much faster assisted restoration enables recovery helps inform cost-effective strategies. Non-profit organizations can benefit from academic support to […]

Climate change has complicated the fight for affordable and secure housing in British Columbia. The 2021 heat dome, for example, was responsible for the deaths of 595 people making it the deadliest weather event in Canadian history. Almost all of these deaths occurred at home or in a hotel and disproportionately impacted marginalized communities, many […]

Le projet de recherche vise à mesurer l’impact économique des plateformes numériques d’écoute en ligne (PNEL) sur les revenus des artistes oeuvrant dans le secteur de la musique québécoise. Nous estimons qu’il est nécessaire d’étudier les impacts de la transformation numérique d’un point de vue local pour vérifier si les dynamiques mondiales s’y reproduisent ou […]

L’objectif général du projet est de doter Keolis d’outils, de méthodes et de modèles lui permettant d’améliorer la prise de décision dans le cas de perturbations dans l’opération de ses réseaux de transport collectif. Le projet touche d’abord les méthodes de traitement de données permettant de calculer des indicateurs de performance reliés à l’opération des […]

The cement industry emits approximately 814-935 kg of carbon dioxide. Using supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) to substitute part of the cement content in concrete is considered an effective method to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete and improve its fresh and hardened properties. To respond to the relative scarcity of traditional SCMs or their localization […]

When responding to any cybersecurity threat, it is important that a security analyst is able to respond to it as quickly as possible so that they can reduce or eliminate any damage that the threat may cause. However, the high amount of data that must be analyzed when investigating a security event can impact the […]

While Canada welcomes many skilled migrants into our economy, some newcomers experience labour market challenges, and are pushed towards alternative career options. Thus, they decide to change their desired occupations or pursue new career paths in Canada. As a result, the purpose of this research is to gather information and learn more about skilled migrants’ […]

Skilled migrants are integral to the Canadian labour market. Yet, existing research provides little guidance on integration beyond the entry point into organizations. This research project aims to gain new insights into organizational integration dynamics for skilled migrants. HR professionals and Line managers in small to medium-sized organizations within the Health, Manufacturing and IT/Services sectors […]

The Island Gold mine, owned by Alamos Gold Inc., operates on one of the highest-grade gold deposits in Canada. Many gold deposits, including the Island Gold mine, follow east-west-trending structures, but the northwest-trending Maskinonge Lake Fault, located east of the mine, is uniquely enriched with gold and therefore contradicts this model. The objective of this […]

Early detection of dementia among seniors has been an ongoing struggle, leading to underdiagnosis, late diagnosis, and delayed intervention. Using virtual reality powered hardware and proprietary motion tracking software provided by Innerva Virtual Inc., this project intends to create a dual-task assessment to measure mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among older adults, a leading symptom of […]
