Cannabinoid uniformity is paramount to cannabis product quality and marketability. The objective of this study is to compare and evaluate two overhead lighting strategies to maximize yield and THC content in cannabis plants. The experiment will be replicated three times. This study will benefit the partner organization by determining which lighting strategy is superior for […]

Biodegradable polymers can be good replacement of their petroleum-based counterparts, which is a very important aspect for achieving our net-zero target. However, we have limited knowledge about their long-term mechanical properties such as mechanical fatigue performance, to ensure their durability and safety for different applications. Although our recent published work proved their excellent fatigue performance […]

Surgical manipulation (e.g., injections, electrode placement) in the developing mouse brain is essential for neuroscientists in order to study the structure and function of the brain and behaviour. Unfortunately, most atlases used in targeting are based on static adult mouse anatomical brain features. Here we propose the use of 4-dimentional (4D) brain atlases (time being […]

Hydro-generators and transformers are expected to last beyond 40 years; however, most typically last only 30 years (there are currently 50,000 operating power transformers, of which 95% are close to 30 years old). Condition monitoring, and in particular, the ability to monitor partial discharge (PD), will allow power generation companies and transmission utilities to identify […]

According to recent studies, cyber-attacks and privacy and security breaches have increased in number and impact, costing Canadian companies $6.75 million on average per incident. Developing secure software products requires professionals to collaborate in multi-disciplinary environments characterized by a lack of common terminology and access to shared information and knowledge. These settings can lead to […]

Les émissions d’odeurs constituent un problème environnemental majeur des stations d’épuration des eaux usées municipales, lesquelles sont considérées comme la principale cause de nuisance perçue par la population exposée. Les causes des odeurs sont associées à la présence de sous-produits de matières de provenance humaine ou animale et d’effluents de processus industriels lesquels sont parfois […]

With the demand for high quality farmed fish on the rise, we are also expected to deliver on greater supplies of fish feed. Currently, fish feed is manufactured by capturing small foraging fish in the ocean, which are converted into pellets. This practice hinders marine life by disrupting the natural food chain of larger fish. […]

A phase change material (PCM) can store and release a large amount of heat through a solid/liquid transition when it is available for the later heating and cooling applications. However, PCMs have a very low thermal conductivity that leads to a higher charge and discharge time. To increase their thermal conductivity, I added nanoparticles to […]

Effectuer une évaluation des besoins et élaborer un outil de prise de décision partagée comprenant des options de traitement conservateur et chirurgical pour aider les femmes de 60 ans et plus touchées par l’incontinence urinaire à l’effort. Notre étude contribuera à impliquer activement les femmes âgées dans les décisions concernant le traitement de leur incontinence […]

Our research provides time-cost and financial effective solutions for construction projects and customers. The solutions include a performing of the graph represented generative floorplan, the scalable and user-participated framework. This research targets performing an end-to-end generative pipeline to conduct valid schematic floor plan designs for contextual adjustment representation of any functional buildings. The goals are […]

La recherche qui sera effectuée dans le cadre de ce stage est une étude de cas visant à acquérir des connaissances sur le rapport entretenu par les élu.es des petites municipalités québécoises avec différents outils existants pour leur permettre de favoriser la participation citoyenne. Nous nous intéressons au rapport à ces outils dans un contexte […]
