The proposed project aims at optimizing new antivirals to fight influenza. Current antivirals, which target proteins of the virus, suffer from severe resistance owing to mutations in the virus. Our group has identified some enzymes in the human lung that are critical for the maturation of the influenza virus. By blocking these enzymes, we expect […]

The project aims to improve the matching process in health research projects by leveraging machine learning and textual interpretation. It focuses on accurately connecting research projects, community organizations, and participants. The project addresses challenges such as diversity and inclusion by interpreting metrics, generating synthetic participant profiles, and utilizing NLP techniques for label association. By creating […]

Rhum est une agence de gestion des ressources humaines et d’acquisition de talents spécialisée dans le domaine de la créativité et de l’innovation. Il peut être difficile pour une petite entreprise offrant des services interentreprises de développer sa présence en ligne pour y acquérir de nouveaux clients, surtout lorsqu’elle œuvre dans un marché niche. Le […]

The growing production of clean electricity from solar resources has led to employ molten salts as heat transfer fluids for thermal energy storage technologies. Thus, the study of thermodynamic and physicochemical properties of multi-component molten salts are critical factors for the design of such units. From one side, binary salt mixtures’ thermodynamic properties are already […]

The main objective of this research project is to contribute to construct a theory of urban land value, which accounts for the multiplicity of factors that affect the way land is valued in the city. To achieve the main objective, the different proposed theories of value will be compared from anthropology with contemporary theories about […]

Portland cement employed in conventional concretes is responsible for 5-7% of the world’s carbon dioxide. Alkali-activated binders appears as one of the promising alternative materials to substitute the use of Portland cement in concrete. Despite this, there are still technical obstacles to be overcome for industrial use. The main gaps include the production of alkali-activated […]

This project will help will bring forward new methods for how to bring personalized medicine to more patients in Quebec and Canada. Hopefully, the ideas put forward in this project will allow pharmaceutical companies, as well as the consulting firms that help them, to achieve reimbursed by the government. Personalized medicine will only grow in […]

The determination of material properties often involves destructive techniques, such as the application of compression load cycles by losing the study material. In order to solve this problem in obtaining the stiffness properties of construction materials, it is necessary to develop new non-destructive (ND) methods of testing and interpretation of results, especially for viscoelastic materials. […]

Le sport automobile amateur est un domaine qui n’a pas beaucoup évolué dans ses façons de faire. Avec un souci réel d’innovation pour un domaine qui n’a pas encore modifié ses façons de faire, l’entreprise CAS Compétition, spécialisée dans la modification et la fabrication de véhicule de sport automobile souhaite développer un système de suspension […]

Lors de mon premier projet de recherche pour le doctorat, j’ai conduit des entrevues portant sur le stress et la douleur de personnes affectées de douleur lombaire chronique. Lors de ces entrevues, nous avons observé que plusieurs participants avec des niveaux similaires de douleur semblaient avoir de grandes variations dans leur description de la souffrance […]

The overall objective of the research is to find out to what extent air pollution affects the lives of the residents of Nanjing, China. We are going to use a well-known method in economics, the contingent valuation, to study the willingness to pay of the inhabitants of this city, for a reduction of air pollution […]

Le projet de recherche vise à développer de petites particules capables de contenir de la nisine, un agent de conservation couramment utilisé dans l’alimentaire et qui présente également des propriétés anticancéreuses. L’objectif est de protéger cette molécule en l’enveloppant dans des nanoparticules, afin qu’elle puisse restée intacte et active quand elle est placée en contact […]
