Recently, a new form of organization—a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO)—has emerged as a novel form of governance. DAO is an organization represented by programmed operating rules that determine who can execute changes to the rules of applications built on blockchains. Through ownership of governance tokens, DAO grants its stakeholders such as users, developers, and contributors […]

An organization that can effectively understand its specific customers’ needs will be able to follow the best communication approach and accurately measure engagements. A data-driven framework based on the customer’s digital behavior, historical data, will be developed to identify specific customer segmentation and used to find optimal next best action to enhance customer experience by […]

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 […]

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 […]

In this project our goal is to facilitate the 3D reconstruction of assets that are found in the ocean bed for the purpose of monitoring the state of the asset, especially to assess whether there is corrosion or cracks in the equipment. Using high-quality subsea imaging, we can obtain images of assets that can be […]

The school closures due to COVID-19 accompanied with the change to remote learning had further exacerbated disparities in the already existing achievement gaps of African Nova Scotian learners in Canada. We propose a technology innovation to be co-developed with the African Nova Scotian community and teachers, offers flexibility in delivery, with content and pedagogical approaches […]

The aim of the current study is to extract, quantify and characterize chitin and astaxanthin from porcupine crab shells as […]

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 […]

The human intestinal tract contains trillions of bacteria that greatly influence the way we absorb and use the nutrients in our food. In the context of obesity, the balance of this environment is impaired which could lead to the worsening of diseases related to obesity, such as type 2 diabetes. This highlights the need for […]

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 […]

L’organisme Culture Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean (CSLSJ) compte implanter un outil numérique (Plateforme Numérique +), qui permettra de centraliser un ensemble de services et d’accès aux ressources pour le milieu artistique de la région. Afin d’effectuer une implantation réussie et de faire une évaluation des résultats, une équipe de recherche de Polytechnique observera et analysera la résistance au […]

This project will help determine the history and distribution of the volcanic rocks which hose important copper, gold and critical metal deposits in the so-called “Golden Triangle” of NW British Columbia. The interns involved will apply various methods to determine the age, chemical composition and distribution of the Jurassic age volcanic rocks of the Hazelton […]
