Le retrait est un phénomène de contraction volumétrique des matériaux cimentaires lors de leur prise et durcissement. Il est dû à l’évaporation de l’eau du béton. Ce phénomène n’est pas sans impact sur la fonctionnalité et la durabilité des ouvrages. Car il se caractérise le plus souvent par des fissures qui nuisent aux aspects esthétiques […]

Cascades is one of the most renowned multinational Canadian companies with nearly 80 production units and employs more than 10,500 individuals spread across Canada and the United States. The company was founded in 1964 in Kingsey Falls, Quebec, and specializes in the pulp and paper production, processing and marketing in packaging and hygiene solutions made […]

The research will help the partner organization expand their in-house capacity for new product development and commercialization. Focused on wellness and sustainability, the partner aims to leverage green technologies to develop their patient-preferred variety of cannabis, which is current available as dried flower, as a cannabis oil. The partner also seeks to address the underutilization […]

Mechanochemistry uses physical, mechanical mixing in order to break and forms bonds in solvent-free conditions, which can yield different mechanistic outcomes compared to the traditional solution-based method. The highly concentrated mixing of reagents would be typically the last method thought to synthesize medium-sized ether rings, as the molecules require high dilution to promote ring closure […]

Pedicle screws are used often in a spinal fusion to add support and strength to the fusion while it heals. Traditionally, a large incision is made to implant screws and rods that stabilize the spine. In contrast, percutaneous pedicle fixation is a minimally invasive spine surgery technique, performed through the skin without a traditional large […]

People who have severe brain injuries that lead to a complete loss of consciousness are often admitted to an intensive care unit for aggressive life-sustaining therapies. Currently, there are no tools available to doctors to determine which patients will regain consciousness and have a good recovery. This makes discussions surrounding continuing treatment vs. withdrawal of […]

Current spacecraft rendezvous, proximity operations, and docking systems typically rely on human-monitored or controlled Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) systems. This project focuses on an autonomous GNC system specifically for spacecraft rendezvous, proximity operations, and docking applications. Autonomous systems are advantageous as they allow for operation without human intervention, do not rely on intermittent communication […]

Shared e-scooters have recently emerged as a new form of micro-mobility. E-scooters offer an arguably environmentally sustainable transportation option that create an opportunity to replace some automobile trips. To date, most research focusing on e-scooters is situated in dense urban contexts, with little to no insights within suburban settings. The proposed project will explore the […]

Modern software development heavily relies on external libraries. The proposed collaboration will create techniques and publicly-available tools useful to both users of external libraries and maintainers of these libraries. Our hypothesis is that different clients use different subsets of libraries’ API surfaces, and that it is possible to use clustering algorithms to automatically split libraries […]

The purpose of the proposed research is to investigate the variables that contribute to the fracture toughness of an FGM consisting of layers of carbide-free bainite (CFB) and high Manganese (Mn) Twinning Induced Plasticity (TWIP) steel, with a gradient in Mn content. The objective of this project is to determine the optimal design of the […]

The research project titled “STRUGGLE TO SETTLE Adaptation of Malayalee Diaspora in Canada” tries to explore the adaptation issues faced by Malayalee immigrants in Canada. According to the recent census of Canada, the Malayalee diaspora is the fastest growing South Asian community in Canada. The project intended to address various issues faced by Malayalee immigrants […]

Some medications affect the QT interval of the heartbeat and can result in major heart events, which can lead to death. It is unclear exactly how much medications compared to other risk factors contribute to these outcomes and when they will occur. This research project will use data from St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton’s (SJHH) Dovetale-Epic […]
