Developing a Sensitive and Quantitative Opioid Detector for Use in a Clinical Setting

The opioid epidemic is a serious health crisis in Canada, North America, and globally and has worsened during the COVID pandemic. Opioid treatment strategies are at the forefront of efforts to tackle this crisis. To improve the replacement therapy currently used, an estimate of tolerance is required. This proposal takes an existing proof-of-concept opioid detection […]

Visual Anomaly Detection and Applications in Product Quality Assessment

Currently, most small or medium manufacturers inspect products or parts’ visual quality manually. The manual visual quality inspection is error prone, subjective, and labor intensive. In recent years, image-based automated inspection has seen exciting uptakes in many modern factories. One critical challenge that limits their vast potentials lies in its ability to detect anomalous situations […]

Favoriser l’inclusion socioprofessionnelle des personnes éloignées ou très éloignées du marché du travail : projet de recherche action avec l’organisme Equitem

Le Québec vit actuellement un manque criant de main-d’oeuvre. Pour atténuer cette crise, on commence de plus en plus à regarder du côté des bassins d’employés non traditionnels, notamment ceux éloignés du marché du travail. Or, ces personnes ne sont pas toujours équipées en termes de savoirs, savoir-faire et savoir-être pour intégrer durablement le marché […]

Development of environment-friendly seismic-resilient precast beam-column modules

The inordinate carbon footprint of the precast concrete industry mainly originates from its raw material supply, predominantly cement. Besides, deficient design and detailing of the joints in precast structures result in their inherent poor seismic performance. Thus, it is crucial to investigate greener alternatives to raw materials along with innovative structural design in precast concrete […]

Qualification and application of a novel in-situ punch shear test cell for polymer material testing under severe environmental conditions

A novel high temperature and high pressure materials test system, a so-called in-situ punch shear test cell, has been developed to qualify materials for reliable service in harsh environments representative of those typically encountered in oil and gas operations. Conventionally, materials are first exposed in harsh environments, then removed from the aging fluids for mechanical […]
