Mid-infrared pulsed lasers emitting around a wavelength of 2.94 µm have a great potential for biomedical applications such as a laser scalpel their laser radiation can interact strongly with water in biological tissues. The most popular laser scalpel technology is a solid-state laser that provides pulses that can cut through biological tissues but also cause […]

There is growing public interest in the therapeutic use of mushrooms that contain a psychoactive ingredient called psilocybin. There are two categories of psilocybin available for clinical use right now. Natural psilocybin, which is extracted from the mushroom, and synthetically derived psilocybin-like compounds. Synthetic psilocybin is more commonly used in clinical trials because companies producing […]

Malgré leur grande serviabilité, les milieux humides sont les écosystèmes les plus détruits et dégradés à travers le monde. C’est pourquoi on tente depuis maintenant plusieurs décennies de restaurer et recréer ces écosystèmes. Toutefois, il s’agit d’une science complexe en plein essor et à ce jour, les taux de succès de ces travaux demeurent faibles. […]

Theoretically sound and industry-robust software measures are necessary to identify and select the most productive software development organizations (internal and external) and avoid significant overspending on software investments. Functional sizing measures, such as COSMIC Function Points – ISO 19761 – are necessary for the quantitative planning, monitoring, control, and objective assessment of software projects. Huge […]

Les techniques de génie végétal reposent sur l’utilisation de végétaux vivants pour différents usages, notamment la protection des cours d’eau contre l’érosion. Utilisées comme alternative au génie civil, elles offrent de nombreux bénéfices pour l’environnement (maintien ou restauration des habitats, corridor écologique, amélioration de la qualité physico-chimique de l’eau), et pour les sociétés (lutte contre […]

Ce projet vise à poser un diagnostic du tourisme durable dans les régions de la Mauricie, Lanaudière, la Montérégie et des Îles de la Madeleine. Il est aussi question de développer et de mettre en place un système de gestion de gaz à effet de serre (GES) par le biais de calculateurs de GES pour […]

Norethindrone, the first oral contraceptive, is noted as one of the most pivotal molecules to be introduced into society. When introduced in 1960, norethindrone caused a societal paradigm shift by allowing for family planning and providing women with more agency over their reproductive system. Unsurprisingly, the women’s liberation movement, rise of feminism, and the increased […]

The increased energy prices and effects of climate change are severely impacting the day-to-day lives of Canadians. Moreover, essential sectors such as agriculture release substantial amounts of greenhouse gases, adding to climate change challenges. Hence, investing in local and sustainable energy sources is more critical now than ever to reduce these burdens. Therefore, biogas generation […]

Augmented reality (AR) is poised to transform human interactions. This project aims to explore the use of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for the development of compact and high-performance image projectors, also called “light engines”, for AR glasses. PICs are a type of integrated circuit that uses light instead of electricity to perform various functions, such […]

Conventional Li-ion batteries using liquid electrolytes (LEs) are suffering from insufficient energy density and safety issues when used for the flourishing market of electric vehicles (EVs). Replacing LEs with solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) to fabricate all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) has been regarded as an essential route to improve energy density and safety. Basically, a qualified SSE […]

Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability, with long-term hand function impairments being the most common symptom among stroke survivors. As hand function plays a vital role in performing everyday activities, individuals with stroke face a significant impact in their quality of life including their ability to maintain independence, employment, and socially connectedness. To […]

We will create a tool that leverages advanced Natural Language Processing techniques to identify various named entities and their relationships from the ample of police case files containing text data. We will also create a validation tool and a visualization tool that will help us create a trustable AI tool for advanced police case file […]
