Recent advances in wearable technology have allowed for a developed understanding of how swimmers move, by collecting acceleration data of the swimmers. Current advances can provide information on how each side of the body responds differently to fatigue and can automatically detect which type of stroke is being completed. However, how swimmers accelerate up and […]

The aim of this project is to help improve construction efficiency by promoting and advancing OSCM techniques. The specific objective is to develop a two-stage BIM-enabled Decision Support System (BeDSS) for the selection of a suitable IBS for OSCM for multifunctional components or parts of buildings. The partner organization will get a reliable comparison between […]

This project will develop an artificial intelligence-based data fusion framework for activity duration forecasting in project scheduling. Task duration estimation is an important component for project scheduling and optimization for many industries. This problem is significantly more acute for projects with a very large number of activities such as ship building and refit or when […]

Small business entrepreneurs, who contribute significantly to economic activity in the First Nation communities and provide employment to majority of the population living in the community, have been impacted by the economic downturns leading to significant business losses. The purpose of this study is to examine whether there is a positive relationship of economic hardships […]

Numerous industries and government agencies carry out analyses every day using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) instruments that typically waste 95% of the sample. A greener approach would not generate any sample waste. During this project, an infrared heated pre-evaporation tube will be developed and coupled to nebulizers from the industrial partner so as to allow […]

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 […]
