Poor physical recovery, especially in remote rehabilitation, is the problem that will be addressed in this project. This project is Phase I of development of Fun-exercise module. Fun-exercise system uses gamification to boost patients’ adherence to their prescribed home-exercises. To achieve this goal, Fun-exercise will use mentally stimulating and customizable games paired with a set […]

Short-term electric load forecasting for local areas is of interest to Hydro-Québec to efficiently respond to demand at the distribution level. Any significant forecasting error can result in reliability issues, loss of opportunity, or additional costs to the business. Improving short-term load forecasting can benefit both consumers and utility companies to optimize resources and costs. […]

Dandelion technology solves the speed and scalability problems of current blockchain using a new physical paradigm to build the most efficient, open distributed network, with a finalization cost of $.00001 per event. The proposed project is aimed at adding smart contract and sharing functionality to the Dandelion network, improving cryptographic efficiency with aggregable signatures under […]

Les oeuvres de bienfaisance et les organismes à but non lucratif (OSBL) au Canada peuvent bénéficier d’une subvention qui leur permet d’obtenir des crédits publicitaires. Malgré que cette subvention soit très facile d’accès, le taux d’adoption des OSBL qui en bénéficient reste très faible. Cette lacune réduit malheureusement leur efficacité et les bienfaits qu’ils peuvent […]

Bronchiolitis is one of the most common causes of infant hospitalization and the costs associated with it are large. Since active treatments are mostly ineffective for bronchiolitis, supportive management (including oxygen saturation monitoring) is the main focus of inpatient management. However, ideal oxygen saturation targets for infants hospitalized with bronchiolitis have not been established. This […]

There is increasing evidence that multiple genetic variants within a patient can compound their effects, resulting in a more severe clinical phenotype in comparison with the clinical manifestations in individuals with single genetic variation. In this study, we aim to examine the clinical utility of a massively parallel sequencing technique to identify clinically relevant secondary […]

This study will investigate the volcanic and structural architecture, petrography, and alteration chemistry of a portion of the Shebandowan greenstone belt in the Wawa subprovince of Northern Ontario to better constrain the gold mineralization and to develop vectors towards mineralization. The principal methods employed in this study will be fundamental geological mapping and logging, combined […]

(100-150 words) The project has been developed in concurrence with the Sinneave Foundation’s aim to improve outcomes in education, employment and housing […]

Dans un contexte de forte concurrence touristique, les destinations cherchent à se démarquer les unes des autres. Pour faire face au défi de rendre leur territoire plus attractif, les acteurs touristiques, politiques, économiques, géographiques, sociaux et culturels du milieu s’unissent pour concevoir une approche commune et partagée du développement territorial. Dans l’objectif de réussir leur […]

Creatine has been used as a feed additive in the poultry industry to improve energy metabolism and growth performance. However, because of creatine’s relative instability in foodstuffs, GAA has recently been explored as a potential alternative to creatine supplements. GAA is the immediate precursor for creatine production in the body. For this process, another amino […]

Naturally saline lakes are highly productive ecosystems that support a wide variety of species and are of commercial value for sodium sulphate production used as detergents and other commercial products. Saskatchewan contains the most saline lakes in all of Canada, and many of these lakes are critical staging habitat for migratory shorebirds that rest and […]
