The proposed project will contribute to Bombardier’s research initiative “Virtual Aircraft” with the overall objective to improve modelling and simulation throughout the development process to enable innovation and reduce development risk to extensive design space exploration. The objective of the project is to develop models of thermal aspects, traditionally investigated later in the design, when […]

Children presenting a fever without known sources are usually checked for bacterial urinary tract infection (UTI) which, in its more complicated forms, can result in permanent kidney damage. The gold standard conventional tests to diagnose complicated urinary tract infections are urine culture and kidney imaging with a radioactive tracer. However, these tests are lengthy (urine […]

Depuis quelques années, chercheurs et praticiens de l’enseignement musical ont démontré un intérêt grandissant pour ce que nous nommerons les «?approches pédagogiques innovantes?» en musique. Ces approches offrent une alternative à la pratique pédagogique traditionnelle en misant, notamment, sur le développement de la créativité musicale, le travail «?à l’oreille?», le développement d’une communauté de pratique, […]

As Aboriginal people increasingly migrate to urban areas, it has become imperative to promote their socioeconomic engagement in the destinations. While there has been increasing research focuses on Aboriginal peoples’ quality of life (QoL) few studies explicitly measure Aboriginal people’s QoL based on a shared understanding of what QoL really means to Indigenous peoples and […]

BioÉnergie La Tuque, qui est une OBNL partenaire, cherche à mettre en place les conditions nécessaires à l’implantation d’une bioraffinerie sur le territoire de la ville de La Tuque permettant de convertir 1 200 000 TM de biomasse forestière résiduelle verte en 200 millions de litres de biodiesel, ou diesel renouvelable et ce, à un […]

The proposed research project focuses on the development of a novel model for the computation of sea ice parameters in near real- time relying on satellite data. The interdisciplinary team will investigate solutions for high performance computing to monitor sea ice and calculate ice parameters with the high spatial resolution. This project includes R&D activities […]

Preterm neonates ill-adapted to the extra uterine environment are prone to increased inflammation in multiple organs and the proinflammatory interleukine IL-1b has been closely implicated in brain injury associated with preterm birth (PTB). One major adverse neuronal outcome for PTB survivors is the greater propensity to develop ischemic brain lesions long after birth. Here, we […]

Colostrum is the initial secretion from the mammary gland after parturition and it is a crucial source of immunity and nutrition for newborn calves. Because of the placental barrier to immunoglobulin transfer in ruminants, colostrum provides the neonate with immunoglobulins (mainly IgG) essential for passive immunity that plays a key role in the prevention of […]

Preterm neonates ill-adapted to the extra uterine environment are prone to increased inflammation in multiple organs and the proinflammatory interleukine IL-1b has been closely implicated in brain injury associated with preterm birth (PTB). Notably, PTB survivors have a greater propensity to develop ischemic brain lesions long after birth. Here, we hypothesize that the neural vasculature […]

I propose a multi-species fish population monitoring project in Quebec’s largest lake (Mistassini), to facilitate community-based fisheries management. Mistassini is home to recreational fisheries for walleye, lake trout, brook trout and pike. With a 31% increase in the regional human population since 2001 and increasing fishing pressure, effective monitoring of Mistassini’s harvested fish populations is […]
