Ce projet vise à mesurer, d’une part, la faisabilité et l’acceptabilité d’un programme d’activité physique faisant appel à une gérontechnologie auprès des aînés vivant en résidence pour personnes âgées et, d’autre part, les bénéfices d’une telle d’intervention auprès de cette population. Nous faisons appel à une technologie adaptée appelée Jintronix qui offre une variété d’activités […]

Internet of things (IoT) systems require significant management related to external intrusions, internal threats, device failures, access management, and performance monitoring. In addition to network management issues, quality of service (QoS) must be maintained to predict changes and determine device and network performance. A good IoT system should be able to identify, track, and mitigate […]

Les mycotoxines contaminent principalement les céréales au champ ou au cours de leur stockage. Elles sont toxiques pour l’homme et les animaux. Avec plus de 56% d’échantillons testés positifs en alimentation animale, la zéaralenone est la mycotoxine la plus présente en Amérique du Nord après le déoxynivalenol. La présence de cette mycotoxine dans l’alimentation, même […]

Sustainable product development adheres to the needs of the present while developing a product without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. This proposal aims to develop a suite of sustainability metrics that can be computed by analyzing data like company website, product material information, etc. The metrics will be integrated into […]

In Canada, research ethics boards vary widely in the way they interpret risk to patients when their personal information is being re-used for research purposes. However, many research ethics boards will permit information to be shared without consent when they believe there is a low risk of re-identification. PARAT is Privacy Analytics’ de-identification software tool. […]

The interns and academic advisor will assist the partner organization (Pombcoup Technologies) to design, develop and test in-water on trawling vessels, a bottom trawling net that, unlike traditional nets, does not touch the seabed and thus avoids the usual extensive seabed damage and disruption. Consequently, the drag force loading of this bottom trawling net will […]

Imaginez un monde dans lequel vous seriez les acteurs du contenu audiovisuel. Un monde dans lequel votre avis aurait un réel impact sur vos émissions préférées. Ce projet va dans ce sens puisqu’il tente de créer une réelle connexion entre les diffuseurs et les téléspectateurs. L’interactivité est donc de mise, tentant de mettre l’utilisateur au […]

Pharma in silica is a preclinical stage company developing silica-based nanoparticles to formulate more efficient and better tolerated chemotherapy modalities.
