Au cours de ce projet, nous souhaitons fermer des sacs en plastique utilisés pour l’industrie agroalimentaire et l’agriculture. Les problèmes principaux du sujet sont d’une part la méthode de fermeture, qui consiste à faire partiellement fondre la matière grâce à des ondes sonores à hautes fréquences transmisses précisément à la matière. Et d’autre part il […]

The project aims to design and fabricate high-performance perovskite solar cells for commercialization. Suitable fabrication methods will be employed for preparing perovskite solar cell samples in large-scale while characterizing both perovskite films and devices by utilizing a myriad of techniques. The characterization methods will provide better insight and invaluable date of the operation of perovskites […]

This project will investigate a low cost, modular control board that enables centralized control, data collection, and communication between the sensors and devices required for advanced, automated dispensing machines. The objective of this project is to develop a standardized, low-cost microcontroller, allowing for different sensors and devices to be easily integrated together. Additionally, programs will […]

The iron and steel industry are the major contributors to global industrial CO2 emissions. Coke making plants and blast furnaces are the largest emitters in this sector. To meet the requirements of CO2 emission mitigation by 2050 to net zero, hydrogen-based ironmaking is an alternative for the fossil fuel ironmaking route. The overall objective of […]

We are building a machine learning algorithm to be able to better understand the unstructured clinical notes. This will help the medical coder and auditor to quickly navigate the clinical notes and locate the text that corresponding to the codes. Reduce the chance of missing labels and mis-labeling in the coding review process.

Recently, a new method has been established for high sensitivity electromagnetic field detection using a quantum effect in atomic gases. This technique has several advantages over classical antenna-based sensing methods and has promising applications in many fields including environmental monitoring and materials characterization. This project will focus on the development of a novel vapour cell […]

Les programmes d’amélioration des arbres sont basés principalement sur les caractères liés à la croissance ce qui a conduit à un déclin de la qualité du bois. Cependant, les caractères de la qualité du bois jouent un rôle essentiel et doivent également être inclus dans ces programmes afin de permettre à la fois une bonne […]

Despite the numerous benefits of participating in child and youth sport, they not guaranteed. Purposeful efforts must be made to ensure that sport offerings are age appropriate, promote engagement and enjoyment, and involve quality social relationships. This project represents a partnership with the objective of finalizing and delivering a story-based positive youth development (PYD) program—The […]

The use of sexual enhancement products alone or with a partner can be part of a healthy, satisfying sex life. Although many men and women report using products (like vibrators) during sexual activities, very little research has examined individuals’ preferences (i.e., type, shape, size, methods of use) for anal sex toys. Obotics Inc. has developed […]

Aerosol sprays from commercial and newly developed vaping devices will be characterized (size and concentration distributions) using a traditional low flow cascade impactor, in addition to PSD (Particle Size Distribution) analyser and PDA (Phase Doppler Anemometry). Localized regional aerosol deposition in the mouth as well as numerical simulations of aerosol dispersion will also be performed […]

Quantitative identification of PPCPs in Osisko Lake for the first time will be achieved using LC MS/MS equipment. Six antibiotics, five anti-inflammatories, one antidepressant, one anxiolytic, three preservative compounds used in personal care products and caffeine will be detected in water and sediments of the lake using specific standards. Quantification methods will be validated. The […]

Le ministère de la Faune, des Forêts et des Parcs a pour projet de moderniser le règlement sur les habitats fauniques du Québec pour l’étendre aux terrains privés et voudrait connaître l’avis des intervenants en conservation et des habitants concernés. Le projet vise à recueillir les commentaires et avis des principaux intervenants œuvrant en conservation […]
