This study will investigate the ability of an injectable vaccine to reduce illness and death due to pneumonia in lambs born and raised in a feedlot setting. If the vaccine is effective, it will improve the welfare of the lambs on the farm where the study is conducted, reduce antibiotic usage and costs, and improve […]

Ce stage de recherche vise le développement et le transfert de connaissances dans les domaines de la gestion de projets d’innovation complexes et la collaboration intraorganisationnelle à distance. Plus spécifiquement, le stage permettra d’appuyer une société d’État québécoise dans son processus de décision visant à évaluer et sélectionner des mécanismes de collaboration à distance dans […]

Women’s political representation is one of the pillars of democracy and the UN goal towards gender equality. Recently, there have been conducted many studies about gender equity at the federal and provincial levels, but very little at the municipal level. This research project will begin to fill this gap by examining how a few municipal […]

Preliminary data analysis has indicated that many prestressed concrete elements have experimentally determined shear strengths which are substantially higher than the shear strengths predicted by the related provisions in the Canadian concrete design code. While these results represent no risk to public safety, actual strengths which are significantly higher than predicted strengths result in considerably […]

Le projet vise à utiliser des données décrivant les événements d’une partie de hockey et leur localisation sur la patinoire afin de segmenter les types de joueurs. Les données relatives au profil physique des joueurs de hockey (données passives) ont été historiquement employées afin de guider la fabrication des pièces d’équipement au hockey. Pour ce […]

Currently in Canada, 8 out of 10 Canadians have ongoing musculoskeletal pain preventing from doing regular day to day activity, and looking for solutions for their pain. The proposed research is aimed to create a conversational chatbot that can engage in empathetic conversation to examine the effect of empathic conversation in engagement and pain management […]

Prostate cancer is the more common cancer affected men in developed countries. Epidemiological data suggest that omega-3 fatty acids may prevent prostate cancer initiation and progression. However, these data do not decipher which omega-3 fatty acid presents the more potent anticancer properties. SCF Pharma has developed pure and highly bioavailable omega-3 fatty acids monoglycerides. Interestingly, […]

Neutron beams are versatile and irreplaceable 21st century research tools. Following the closure of the National Universal Research (NRU) reaction in 2018, Canadian researchers and industry lost key neutron beam capabilities for industrial Research and Development and fundamental research alike. The proposed project is a effort to rebuild neutron beam capabilities in Canada. The design […]

Dans une perspective de développement durable, une meilleure connaissance des milieux aquatiques du Nord du Canada est essentielle pour assurer la protection de l’environnement et la conservation de la biodiversité. Comme le territoire nordique est vaste et dépourvu de réseau de transport terrestre, l’imagerie satellitaire pourrait être un outil optimal pour décrire et inventorier la […]

COVID-19 and Influenza virus disease (the flu) are both deadly respiratory diseases. Despite the availability of flu and COVID-19 vaccines, these diseases still pose a serious threat to human health, because different types of their strains are in circulation. In addition to the need of urgent production of both COVID-19 and influenza universal vaccine, development […]

Productique has a production application utilizing a die and mold heat exchanger to cool the fabricated parts. By optimizing the cooling channels in the heat exchanger, the cycle time between successive parts will be reduced. The optimization will be composed of a combination of numerical modelling and experimental results. The data gathered from the experiments […]

One of the goals of environmental management and sustainable development is to secure adequate water quality in rivers and lakes. Many researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders have been trying to contribute to this goal effectively. Gathering water quality data is vital to understand changes in rivers and lakes better. Two major approaches for water quality monitoring […]
