Pour établir ses plans de production, la Direction Planification de la Production compte sur des mesures de qualité. Pour se faire, elle dispose d’une équipe qui s’assure de la validité des données de mesures et qui en effectue la correction, s’il y a lieu, et ce, quotidiennement. D’après les statistiques effectuées sur le travail de […]

SmartBody, SmartMind (SBSM) is a 12-week online intervention combining elements of movement, mindfulness, education, and psychologically-informed coping strategies. SBSM’s philosophy is that there are physical, emotional, and psychological dimensions to all disorders. Accordingly, SBSM offers a variety of therapeutic techniques through a variety of modalities, so that each individual may tailor their own healing. While […]

On estime que les troubles d’apprentissage spécifiques (TAS) touchent entre 5 et 15% des élèves (APA, 2013). Pour les enseignants et les orthopédagogues, un des défis qui se pose dans l’intervention auprès de ces élèves est celui de l’utilisation des données pertinentes de la recherche. On ne dispose actuellement pas d’outil permettrait de dresser un […]

The project aims at developing cost-effective steel seismic force resisting systems for multi-storey building structures that can achieved superior performance in terms of seismic stability and amplitude of damage. The system can be used for the construction of new structures or the seismic rehabilitation of existing structures. The system could also be implemented when adding […]

Durham Region is committed to responding to the climate emergency by embedding climate change considerations across all elements of Regional business. This research will involve an examination of the Region’s entire waste management system and develop a full life cycle analysis model for GHG emissions which can be used to identify opportunities and support strategies […]

The aim is to improve a software tool for reliability-based quantitative analysis of dents (QuAD) in pipelines developed by Enbridge. QuAD is a tool used to predict the failure for dented pipelines, so that the deteriorated pipeline segments can be reliably identified for excavation to avoid failure. The critical concern with the current QuAD tool […]

We are proposing to use a rapid, safe and green electroplating process to adhere antimicrobial phosphonate quaternary ammonium materials onto receptive metal surfaces. Pathogenic infections are responsible for approximately 60% of all hospital acquired infections. In order to help stop the spread, high contact surfaces such as bed rails in hospitals, door knobs etc. require […]

Hearing loss affects over 1/2 of Canadians over 65 years of age. Remarkably, however, hearing aid adoption rates have remained stable and very low (20-25%) over the past 25 years. This is particularly surprising given the significant, concomitant advancements in hearing aid technologies within the same timeframe. In attempting to identify the causes of dissatisfaction […]

Many chemical compounds can exist in multiple crystalline forms, which are called polymorphs. Polymorphs have the same composition, but their properties can vary markedly. In many fields, conditions for crystallization are screened exhaustively to generate as many polymorphs as possible, from which the most advantageous form can be selected. In the pharmaceutical industry, for example, […]

Transportation to treatment centers is a major concern for cancer patients. In this proposal, we offer four projects as an integrated approach to study different aspects of the implementation of a volunteer ride and lodging service for breast cancer patients in Quebec province, Canada. The first project considers the simulation of this system to evaluate […]

Clean renewal energy sources, such as hydro, wind, and solar energies, have been receiving increasing demands for sustainable societal developments. Due to their intermittent nature, rechargeable batteries are required for the storage of these renewal energy sources. Current rechargeable batteries constructed with conventional inorganic cathode materials have restricted energy densities, along with sustainability issues. The […]

Potash is a mineral that is mined for use as fertilizer in agriculture. Potash accounted for $6.4 billion in exports from Saskatchewan in 2018 and potash mining represents a large fraction of the economy of Saskatchewan. When mining potash, it is important to avoid mining into areas near water-filled porous rocks since this can cause […]
