Le projet proposé vise à évaluer le potentiel écologique et économique de l’agroforesterie en milieu agricole au Québec à travers le concept de de restauration intégrée des paysages forestiers. L’intégration des pratiques agroforestières permettent d’améliorer la résilience des territoires agricoles et de lutter contre les changements climatiques. Ce projet comporte deux volets et vise (1) […]

In the last decade optimization is expanded in many applications from food production to sophisticated applications such as engine fuel efficiency. In the proposed package, it is tried to apply optimization techniques along with physics based analytical and semi-analytical methodologies to create a compelling framework which can help thermal-process based oil industry to reduce their […]

ChrysaLabs développe des solutions technologiques innovantes pour améliorer l’intégration des connaissances sur la santé et la fertilité du sol dans les pratiques agricoles. L’un des défis les plus importants dans l’amélioration des pratiques agricoles est de comprendre l’impact des changements de pratiques sur l’amélioration du rendement et sur l’environnement. L’objectif de ce projet est de […]

In partnership with the First Nations Fisheries Legacy Fund and their partner First Nations, Katzie, Kwantlen, Kwikwetlem, Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh, and Tsawwassen, the proposed interns aim to develop a framework of aquatic health indicators that are identified and shaped by cultural values and priorities laid out by the involved First Nations in the Lower Fraser River […]

En collaboration étroite avec le Centre espoir Sophie et ses utilisatrices, nous nous pencherons sur les besoins des mères monoparentales en soutien matériel, social et psychologique, leur utilisation des services communautaires de santé mentale, les barrières à l’utilisation de ces services, […]

Scrawlr is a platform for unconstrained, global interaction with all internet content and users. Scrawlr allows for user evaluation and unconstrained classification of any Scrawlr-hosted or non-Scrawlr content. For non-Scrawlr content, this evaluation and classification allowance will be first at the URL level but will subsequently be provided at the individual content component level. Scrawlr […]

The fan assembly is a critical component of a Thrust Cushion Vehicle (TCV) designed by Slipstream Vehicles Ltd. It provides both the lift and thrust for the TCV. However, given the novelty of the patented fan, there is insufficient data to predict the fan performance. This project will focus on development of a new set […]

Des emballages thermoformés constitués de pâtes cellulosiques prennent leur envol. Ce projet entend incorporer une biomasse microalgale dans une pâte cellulosique pour fabriquer un contenant écologique. Dans une perspective d’économie circulaire, cette biomasse microalgale serait produite dans un mélange d’eaux usées du parc industriel où se situe l’entreprise qui utiliserait le contenant en question.

Ardra Inc. has sustainably produced many high-purity chemicals that are used for various flavor, perfume, and cosmetic applications. Combining industrial/business expertise provided by Ardra with academic/research skills provided by Dr. C. Perry Chou’s lab, we are aiming to effectively produce high-value heme compound using engineered E. coli host organism. Major efforts will be dedicated toward […]

Canada’s boreal forests are dynamic landscapes whose forest structure and biodiversity are altered by both natural and anthropogenic disturbance. Timber harvest is one of the dominant anthropogenic disturbances in these forests. We need to better understand how the biodiversity within these forests recovers after harvest. In this study we develop biodiversity recovery curves for harvested […]

Mental health problems in older adults (>65 years old) are becoming increasingly prevalent in Canada, with high rates of depression, anxiety, and social isolation found in long-term care facility residents. These psychological challenges are being exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. There is thus a need for effective and innovative health strategies to help support older […]

The coronavirus pandemic has elevated global health governance from a “low politics” position in foreign policy practice to an economic and security priority of international importance. Conventional foreign policy approaches to pandemic management have proven ineffective in the time of Covid-19, as states struggle to fulfil public health obligations in an increasingly globalized world. Canada’s […]
