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

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I am conducting a multi-species fish population monitoring project in Quebec’s largest lake (Mistassini), to facilitate community-based fisheries management with the Cree Nation of Mistissini. 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 […]

Myriad of complex interactions from molecular to system level underlie the functioning of the brain, and their thorough understanding is crucial for ultimate experimental goals of neuroscience. Recent breakthroughs in optogenetics allow controling the activity of small groups and even single neurons while recording their responses with minimal effect on natural biological processes. Currently though, […]

We propose development of miniature fluorescent microscope with flexible spatiotemporal photostimulation patterns of ensembles of neurons in freely behaving animals.For precision and targeted photostimulation of light-activated proteins (opsins), the light beam from high power incoherent light source will be shaped by user-controlled digital micromirror device (DMD). The light patterns formed by DMD will be sent […]
