Ce projet vise à augmenter les performances environnementales de la production acéricole moderne via deux objectifs, soit dans un premier temps par la conception et l’optimisation d’un système d’évaporation à faible empreinte de GES, puis par l’implantation d’une nouvelle technologie de purification des effluents industriels aqueux issus de la production acéricole. Dans la première portion […]

MIScoliTM est un dispositif innovant pour le traitement de la scoliose chez les jeunes adolescent.e.s. Ce dispositif vise à corriger la déformation de façon moins intrusive que les approches de fusion vertébrale en misant sur la modulation de la croissance vertébrale à l’aide d’agrafes fixées sur les corps vertébraux et d’une attache polymérique qui applique […]

This Mitacs project will create a custom-built survey tool and a recommendation system that generates alerts where an individual’s unmet physical, mental, social or spiritual needs are detected. A personal report with feedback on possible steps to reduce unmet needs or make progress on achieving goals that are aligned with personal preferences and interests is […]

Le projet consiste à comparer deux approches en développement organisationnel : l’approche des forces et l’approche appréciative. Ces deux interventions sont tirées de la recherche en psychologie positive et visent à développer le bien-être, l’engagement et la performance des employés. Les participants seront divisés en trois groupes homogènes : un groupe expérimentant l’approche des forces, […]

Le bois est un matériau de construction pouvant atteindre une grande longévité lorsqu’il reste au sec ou dans des conditions ne menant pas à la croissance de champignons pouvant le décomposer. La mérule pleureuse est un champignon ayant causé la perte de plusieurs dizaines de bâtiments résidentiels dans les dernières années au Québec. Le présent […]

Rocky reef fish play an important role in marine ecosystems and socially as First Nation Food, Social, and Ceremonial, commercial and recreational food fish. Many species of rocky reef fish are vulnerable to fishing pressure and other human impacts like vessel noise. Multiple species are currently listed as Threatened or Species of Special Concern in […]

Increasing demands for electric vehicles and more portable electronics have also increased the demand for rechargeable batteries with higher energy capacity. This project aims to develop novel manufacturing methods to produce advanced rechargeable batteries in a time and cost-efficient way. In this project, the interns perform hands-on experiments to investigate the application of the novel […]

The proposed project is aimed at developing image and signal processing algorithms to enable the Christie VeinViewer® device to determine approximate depth of veins. This is a challenging research project due to the limited amount of information available and real-time fast processing required. The VeinViewer® uses a single infrared wavelength and a CMOS camera to […]

This project will result in the generation of mathematical models that will predict the quality and sustainability of protein-based ingredients that are commonly used in dog diets. With the projected growth of human and pet populations, and increases in food production necessary to meet growing demands, providing Canadian pet food companies (such as our industry […]

Recent cyber-attacks have overwhelmed many high-profile businesses. These attacks often exploit multiple types of vulnerabilities to infiltrate into target systems in multiple stages. Cyber threat hunting in enterprises is the process of proactively and iteratively searching for malicious activities in various types of adversaries that have entered the defender’s network. This process is critical for […]

The pollination performed by honey bees is estimated to contribute annually ~$4 billion to Canadian agriculture. Unfortunately, high colony death rates have been repeatedly reported by beekeepers. Infectious diseases (e.g. Varroa, Nosema, American foulbrood [AFB] and European foulbrood [EFB]) are important causes of honey bee mortality. AFB and EFB are the most important bacterial diseases […]

The proposed research will evaluate changes to ecosystem composition and configuration from the recent unprecedented outbreak of mountain pine beetle (MPB) in JNP, and use new extended time-series data and innovative spatial assessments to consider how altered and novel disturbances have impacted the historical range of variability (HRV) in the park. The outcomes of this […]
