CAPSolar développe un module à énergie solaire unique en son genre, conçu spécifiquement pour les véhicules électriques à basse vitesse, afin de prolonger leur autonomie ainsi que la durée de vie de leur batterie de manière à optimiser la gestion des flottes commerciales de ce type de véhicule et réduire leur empreinte écologique. Toutefois, CAPSolar […]

This project will investigate the impacts of historical land use on Langley Bog to better understand how these unique ecosystems are affected by cranberry farming and fill roads. Bogs require a high water table and high acidity to maintain conditions suitable for bog-specific vegetation to grow. To determine whether the site is moving away from […]

River restoration in the steep mountain streams of British Columbia focuses on enhancing conditions for fish habitat, including salmon spawning habitat. These restoration projects are designed using 2D hydraulic models, but their performance during large flood events is relatively unknown. This project will use a set of laboratory experiments to assess the performance of common […]

With the growth in demand for electric vehicles and mobile devices powered by rechargeable lithium batteries, demand for lithium is expected to increase by over 200% in the next decade. Current lithium production comes primarily from Australia, South America and China. There are significant lithium reserves in the same Saskatchewan aquifers currently being exploited for […]

Developing subject-based social media requires proper interaction with the users by learning and analyzing their profile and dynamically incorporating their opinion. In this project, a crowd-based profiling of users with respect to their peers will be developed and confidence factor calculated based on the collective opinion of the crowd will be assigned to the individuals’ […]

La Covid-19 a été déclarée pandémie par l’Organisation mondiale de la santé le 11 mars 2020, résultant d’abord en un confinement général de la province du Québec de mars à mai 2020, et depuis à des mesures sanitaires restrictives dans le but de diminuer la propagation du virus. Ce projet de recherche porte sur l’adaptation […]

Kaira technologie cherche à opérationnaliser son outil, le « coach financier personnel », afin d’aider les individus à atteindre le bien-être financier. Pour y arriver, Kaira doit préalablement définir un indicateur de mesure du bien-être financier. La recherche de cet indicateur est l’objectif poursuivi dans ce projet. Ainsi, une revue complète du concept de bien-être […]

The use of cinnamon as a flavoring agent and a remedy for metabolic, respiratory, and gynecological disorders is widespread throughout the world. Studies suggest that Ceylon cinnamon may be useful in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. This project will use a high-throughput method to analyze how a concentrated water extract of Ceylon cinnamon changes […]

Oncozyme is looking to improve its lead oncology product candidate OCZ103 by incorporating it in nanometer-scale lipid particles known as liposomes. Liposomes have already demonstrated their usefulness in transporting anti-cancer drugs and improving the efficacy and safety aspects of drugs. Liposomal formulation development requires a highly skilled individual both technically and theoretically. The intern who […]

Lubricant is the substance used to decrease the friction generated between the two surfaces undergo relative motion. There are many applications for naturally occurring lubricants in medical field to improve a patient’s quality of life. Fucoidan is one of the naturally occurring lubricants that has the potential of reducing adhesion after an abdominal surgery. ARC […]

La douleur chronique impacte négativement la mobilité fonctionnelle (se lever, se retourner, etc.) et est, entre autres, classée comme un déterminant de morbidité et un prédicteur de mortalité chez les aînés. La physiothérapie a l’expertise pour la gestion de la douleur et la prévention des incapacités physiques. Or, les soins de physiothérapie ne font pas […]

The goal of the project is to generate realistic human movement in 3D animations. This is important to make movement animations in games and movies appear real. Typically, creating high quality animations is a resource and time consuming process that requires the participation of human actors in motion capture sessions. In this work, we present […]
