The purpose of this project is to provide Coastal Shellfish Corporation with an integrated biological and financial modelling framework for the management of current and future aquaculture operations of the corporation. The primary goal of this research is to provide a framework for implementation to the management of CSC that will enable to organization to […]

Global food security is one of the most pressing issues of our time. Developing new farming practices and technologies that take advantage of large amounts of data collected from a myriad of different sensors offers our best bet for a greener future, with a stable supply of nutritious food for everyone. A move toward digital […]

Ce projet permettra de gérer la forte demande énergétique sur le réseau électrique grâce à l’utilisation de technologies de stockage énergétique dont les accumulateurs thermiques et le stockage à air comprimé. De façon plus spécifique, le projet a pour objectif de développer un outil de design pour l’implantation efficiente des accumulateurs thermiques et de tracer […]

Ce projet novateur vise à mieux comprendre la dispersion juvénile chez le Pic à dos noir et le Pic à dos rayé, deux pic bois de la forêt boréale de conifères. Dans cette recherche, on utilise les composés chimiques présents à la surface des troncs d’arbres et qui se déposent sur les plumes de la […]

This project tackles the issue of knowledge incompleteness and lack of domain coverage in resume and job posting matching caused by the exploitation of domain-general resources. A variety of co-operative semantic/ontological resources will be used to filter out irrelevant resumes. A two-way (candidate to job and job to candidate) semantic-based automatic suitability ranking is proposed. […]

La pandémie de COVID-19 a souligné l’importance du port du masque pour prévenir la propagation du virus et le confort associé, notamment pour les travailleurs de la santé. En effet, l’efficacité d’un masque respiratoire dépend fortement de son ajustement. Avec les masques traditionnels, réaliser une étanchéité parfaite avec le visage s’avère difficile, voire impossible sans […]

Picosecond InfraRed Laser (PIRL) technology has finally realized the long-held promise of the laser to achieve the fundamental (single cell) limit to minimally invasive surgery – with the unexpected benefit of scar free healing. The very process of laser cutting involves the selective excitation of natural occurring water inside tissue to drive molecules into the […]

Currently the selection of peer reviewers is a secret process entirely controlled by journal editors. This introduces significant biases into the process that fosters an environment that contravenes every aspect of equity, diversity and inclusivity, inhibits novel ideas and suppresses creativity which is just bad for science as a whole. Furthermore, research is most often […]

As researchers strive to reduce the number of animals used in their research, many are turning to precision cut lung slices (PCLS), thin organ slices prepared from fully developed mouse lungs. They represent a “mini-model” that closely resembles the original organ in both anatomical structure and rich cellular environment. Despite the increasing interest, no commercial […]

Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive adult brain tumor, and in spite of standard of care (SOC) with radiation therapy and chemotherapy with temozolomide tumor re-growth (or recurrence) and patient relapse are inevitable. There is compelling evidence that suggests SOC can debulk the tumor but cells endowed with treatment-resistant properties (e.g. expressing the protein marker CD133) […]

The measurement of O2 consumption (V ?O2, V ?O2 max) and CO2 production (V ?CO2) is important in the health assessment. The goal of this research is to develop inexpensive optical technologies adapted from off-the-shelf components to reduce the cost and improve the performance of metabolic analyzers. VO2 Master, which is our sole partner organization, […]

Les expositions aux émanations de moteur diesel (EMD) sont omniprésentes et les chauffeurs de véhicules diesels constituent des groupes à risques au regard des fréquences et des intensités d‘expositions. Plusieurs méthodes ont été proposées pour évaluer l’exposition professionnelle aux EMD mais peu d’études comparatives sont disponibles et aucun consensus ne semble émerger. Le projet proposé […]
