Vision is the most important sense to execute sport skills. Research have shown that good visual performance is related to good batting performance in baseball and, that training protocols representing baseball game settings help with the improvement of batting skills. This study purposes to understand the relation between visual and batting performance and investigate the […]

Recent advances in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) have enabled visualization of iron and myelin in the brain using a method that can measure the effects of MRI field changes. The physical property measured is called magnetic susceptibility, which can visualize iron accumulation in the brain and also myelin which is a wrapping around nerves. The […]

Few studies have investigated how rest period impact behavioral, metabolic, and clinical indicators of health and welfare of surplus dairy calves during long distance transportation. This project aims to fill these knowledge gaps and determine if unloading calves from the trailer for a rest period will mitigate the impact of transport. Results from this study […]

In a complex environment like mineral extraction, it is difficult to back the cause-effect relationship between a specific process variable and the overall performance (output, cost, GHG emission) with scientific principles. Consequently, process data is used to deduce an empirical correlation between the process variables and their estimated effects. In the present project, process data […]

The production of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) will be a critical step in reduction of CO2 emissions from the aviation industry, which currently lacks scalable solutions for emissions reduction. Greenfield Global has developed a process for production of SAF from biomass waste through a patented process that converts residues into fuel. However, transportation of low […]

La production de sirop d’érable est un des moteurs de l’agriculture québécoise et plusieurs études indiquent que la consommation de cet agent sucrant naturel complet est à privilégier d’un point de vue santé métabolique comparativement aux sucres raffinés. Néanmoins, les agences de santé ne font aucune distinction entre les formes de sucres ajoutés, plaçant le […]

The proposed multifunctional platform of bioplastics demonstrates an attractive alternative to food packaging, improving the sustainability of plastics within the food sector, reducing our dependence on fossil-based polymers. The optimized biopolymers meet the expectations of safety and other benefits of plastics for both, the consumers and retailers. Our proposed formulations can handle higher temperatures for […]

Les changements climatiques causés par l’augmentation des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) constituent l’un des plus grands enjeux environnementaux de notre époque. Le secteur de l’élevage contribue considérablement à ces émissions en gérant mal ses résidus. Dans ce contexte, Écoboeuf une entreprise de production bovine tend à améliorer la gestion des fumiers […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à améliorer les services de soutien et d’accompagnement à l’innovation et à la croissance des entreprises, en se basant sur des données probantes et des analyses fiables. Il s’appuie sur diverses littératures, y compris celle sur les systèmes d’innovation, les organismes de soutien à l’innovation et à l’entrepreneuriat, et les […]

In this research project, a computational tool will be developed to predict the ground vibration intensities and frequencies during construction activities in urban areas and mining operations. This tool will help minimize the number of vibration monitoring sensors and arrange them properly. It can also reduce the monitoring time significantly. Furthermore, it will help gather […]

This research project aims to make the Force-Velocity and Power-Velocity Sprinting Profiles more accessible to all athletes. These profiles measure an athlete’s explosive force and speed abilities and can help coaches and medical professionals develop a training program that is tailored to an athlete’s needs. Currently, only elite athletes have access to this tool, but […]

Bone cancers are very hard to treat because of poor blood flow in the bones and drugs to treat bone cancers need to be given at high doses and are often limited by side effects. This project will develop new “prodrugs” designed to target and attach to bones and release a potent anti-cancer drug, regorafenib, […]
