While newer, advanced Filament Fused Deposition Modeling (FFDM) 3D printing systems for additive manufacturing of plastics products have been designed in order to increase rate productions similar to conventional plastic transformation processes. Up to the date hybrid configurations that can achieve for printing selectively high deposition rates without compromising part quality hasn’t yet been fully […]

Le village de St-Étienne constitue l’un des plus anciens villages de compagnie du Québec et le plus ancien dans la région du Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean. Opéré entre 1882 et 1900, ce village est un superbe exemple du contexte économique du XIXe siècle, alors que la totalité des infrastructures et services municipaux relève de la mono-industrie qui exploite […]

Members of the LGBTQ+ community assigned female at birth are at a disproportionate risk of developing CHC, such as mental health disorders, addiction, obesity, heart conditions, and asthma (Dearing & Hequemboug, 2014; Eliason, 2014). The proposed mixed methods study will explore the experiences of members of the 2SLGBTQQIA community assigned female at birth with chronic […]

I n effort to reduce the environmental footprint and improve the sustainability of wastewatertreatment plants, this study is focused on the production of energy and the recovery of valueadded products from municipal wastewater via the chemical precipitation of magnesium ammonium phosphate (struvite). The method employs the controlled addition of a suitable magnesium compound such as […]

The goal of the partnership is to develop genomic tools to enhance BC’s new sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria) aquaculture industry. Specifically, we will expand the parentage analysis project launched in 2019, produce a new genetic test that we can use to determine the sex (male vs female) of each fish, and use whole genome sequencing to […]

Ce projet s’inscrit dans le contexte d’une étude de faisabilité sur l’implantation d’un centre de micro-consolidation partagé pour le transport de marchandises adapté à la réalité de la Ville de Québec. L’objectif principal du projet est d’étudier la faisabilité de déployer des solutions partagées de décarbonisation du transport de marchandises, misant sur la cyclo-logistique et […]

Maintaining cognitive ability is key to successful aging and to retaining the ability to live independently. BrainTagger is a suite of games that assess highly specific brain functions. BrainTagger LTC is a version that has been designed for measuring cognitive status of residents in long term care (see ltc.braintagger.com for a demo). The goal of […]

A job as an animal care professional can be bittersweet – great levels of work satisfaction can also come with an increased likelihood of mental, emotional, and physical exhaustion (“compassion fatigue”). This project aims to ‘take a picture’ of Toronto Zoo staff experiences with compassion fatigue and provide a deeper understanding of the impactful experiences […]

The University of Lethbridge and the Alberta Beekeepers Commission are working together to improve the health of Alberta’s honey bees. Beekeepers in Alberta face high levels of colony winter loss, and they have also had difficulty accessing quality imported queens. ‘Poor queens’ are one of the most common reasons for winter loss cited by beekeepers. […]

Dans la foulée du déluge de juillet 1996, une grande partie des rives de la rivière à Mars furent enrochées, ce qui leur assure une relative stabilité. Toutefois, si les enrochements permettent bien de contrôler l’érosion des berges, les études démontrent que ces ouvrages sont la cause d’environnements artificiels et écologiquement pauvres. Selon les études […]

Le projet porte sur l’intégration de technologies issues du Building Information Modeling chez un entrepreneur général, EBC INC. À travers un projet de mise en contexte, le centre ambulatoire B1 du nouveau CHUM, il sera étudié les possibilités d’intégration des technologies de coordinations, de gestion des interférences et de construction simulée. L’objectif principal du projet […]

Understanding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Canadians’ mental health is crucial to inform government planning for the delivery of services and support during and after the pandemic. This research project will assess the mental health impacts of COVID-19 in New Brunswick by analyzing self-reported data from Statistics Canada’s Survey on COVID-19 and Mental […]
