Greenlight Analytical Inc. has developed a highly sophisticated device for spectrographic analysis of a variety of substances. There are various factors that make the application of this analysis complex. First, the results must be able to be used in high stakes situations (e.g. police inspection of suspected contraband, marijuana growers ensuring a product within narrow […]

Les mycotechnologies, c’est-à-dire l’utilisation des souches fongiques dans les secteurs industriels, sont actuellement considérées comme ayant un fort potentiel pour le développement de bio-industries régionales. Dans cette optique, Biopterre et le Cégep de La Pocatière ont proposé la mise en œuvre du Regroupement pour l’innovation fongique (RIF). Cette programmation qui a débuté en 2018 a […]

Many children with ASD experience significant difficulties with attention and executive function. This research will investigate the effects of a direct attention and executive function training intervention in children ages 6 to 12 with ASD (high functioning). Research has shown that it is possible to improve attention and executive functioning in children with various neuropathologies. […]

Companies must not harm species at risk around their fixed infrastructure and need a way to detect and monitor at risk fish. However, a species at risk cannot be tagged and studied using conventional surgically implanted fish tracking technology. Innovasea is therefore developing a platform to monitor fish using a combination of sensors such as […]

Dental personnel are high risk professions in contracting and disseminating COVID-19 due to their transmits through respiratory droplets, dental personnel are at high risk of being exposed to the virus if an asymptomatic patient comes to their clinic. However, limited studies have been performed on the characterization of aerosols generated during dental procedures, how far […]

Canada ranks very poorly in terms of energy usage per capita and in energy efficiency. As a large portion of this energy is used by buildings, saving the energy consumed by buildings will significantly reduce our carbon footprint. Efforts are underway to incorporate various energy-preserving and generating techniques to create such “Net Zero” (or even […]

Data centers are being deployed worldwide. They provide the fundamental computing and communication resources for both business customers and regular consumers. Different from traditional data centers, today’s data centers must have the capability to provide services to millions of users on a dynamic basis. New data centers are designed to deploy large number of commodity […]

This project provides the groundwork and covers the critical first steps of a multi-year research study that examines the lived experience of Black Canadians in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The purpose of this larger study is to better understand the nature of the challenges facing the Black community, through exploring the lived experiences of […]

Le but de ce projet de recherche est de poursuivre Ie developpement d’un code de mesures de deformations par correlation d’images. II s’agit d’une technique permettant d’evaluer les deformations subies par une piece sollicitee mecaniquement a partir d’images prises a di fferents instants. Le principe consiste a com parer chaque image deformee a une image […]

A geospatial query is a question where the concept of location is necessary for formulating the answer. Furthermore, we are not simply interested in spatial relationships, but also with the ways in which people can possibly move through space given the goals that they want to achieve. We therefore want to predict the behaviour of […]

This Mitacs proposal tackles several outstanding issues that must be addressed to complete development of a widely applicable pipeline for quantitative analysis of 3D facial shape in medicine. Here, we focus on specific applications of imaging pipelines in genetic syndrome diagnosis and facial surgery visualization and planning. The fellows will develop (a) cutting edge, deep […]

Main aim of this project is to develop a prediction model for cancer projection, with detailed information regarding incidence, mortality and other measures of cancer burden for the most common types of cancer, presented by age, sex, time and geographic locations. These data can help stimulatenew research as well as assist decision-making and priority-setting at […]
