Open science is the concept of freely sharing data to the public. With large-scale data becoming more easily accessible to everyone, it is important to create a platform where the public can visit to analyze and interpret data. And although open science increases the accessibility of data and reports to the public, it does not […]

Les Corporations de Développement Communautaire (CDC) jouent un rôle central auprès des citoyens par leur offre de services complémentaires aux programmes des gouvernements. Au Québec, on dénombre plus de 60 CDC regroupant plus de 2500 organismes. Ceux-ci agissent d’une manière autonome dans différents champs d’activité (p.ex., santé et services sociaux, éducation, famille, employabilité, alphabétisation, défense […]

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality internationally. Current CVD diagnostics are limited to basic tools that provide a generalized number without quantitative indication of overall health, such as blood pressure, or lifestyle risk scores. More invasive diagnostic imaging can be done, but at great cost to the healthcare system. We […]

The underlying technology will leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze oculomotor (eye movement) data to learn and extract human translatable features/symptoms of concussion. The software is computationally light-weight that is capable of running on portable hardware with minimal computational power. The intern will examine the system’s commercialization by conducting interviews with potential customers and identifying […]

Heme is a naturally occurring molecule found in our blood and as well as in animals, responsible for carrying oxygen throughout our body. Interestingly, heme has been commercially used in various products such as in cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and food. The traditional production of heme however often involves animal slaughter and harsh chemical processing, which is […]

Le dioxyde de titane (TiO2) est un oxyde d’un métal de transition. Le dépôt en couches minces de ce matériau trouve différents domaines d’applications tant dans le domaine de la catalyse qu’en électronique ou en optique. Dans cette étude, le matériau sera déposé par pulvérisation cathodique à partir d’une cible de TiO2-x ou de titane […]

Mines generate metal-contaminated wastewater that needs to be cleaned before it can be re-used by the mine or discharged into the environment. There are several ways to remove this metal, but many of these technologies are expensive and require non-renewable materials to work. Biological methods to remove these metals are promising renewable alternatives, but they […]

We are looking to drive the operational cost down for Corda R3 nodes. Corda R3 is a smart-contract Distributed Ledger technology. Our strategy is to do so by minimizing the cloud computing resources. Using machine learning and historic data we can proactively orchestrate a large number of nodes on behalf of our clients. The interaction […]

Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) is a technique by which the environmental impacts are minimized while efficiency is increased. However, these aquaculture activities can put a strain on their surrounding environment, as operations encroach on valuable wetland areas, act as a stressor on local water resources, and effluent waste can increase the concentrations of pollutants in […]

Le projet consiste à concevoir des nouvelles formes de grappins pour récupérer les casiers à crabe des neiges dans le cadre de la pêche fantôme. Ce type de pêche permettra à des espèces marines tels que les baleines noires d’éviter tout empêtrement à cause des cordages. Ceci va permettre de réduire les conséquences de la […]

The project focuses on the characterization of the evolution with time of the properties of physiological signals recorded in different clinical settings, describing sepsis shock and other clinical complications that are common features in Intensive Care Units. Changes in heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation will be studied through an array of […]

This investigation will examine real-world potential Canadian hidden champions through a survey to gain further insight into what characteristics enable hidden champions to thrive. This survey will also expose a need for a more thorough case study (titled “A case study on Hidden Champions in North America, Europe and Asia) to examine the nuances of […]
