The project involves development, validation, and application of new medical image analysis algorithm where cortical thickness is measured from serial brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with improved efficiency and greater sensitivity. Cortical thickness is a relatively new metric that correlates with clinical and cognitive worsening in a variety of neurologic disorders such as multiple sclerosis […]

À l’ère des changements climatiques, les entreprises d’élevage font face à des défis importants. Afin d’aider ces entreprises à accroître leur résilience et adopter des pratiques agricole écoresponsable, il est essentiel de revoir les modèles agricoles. Le développement d’un sylvopastoral combinant l’implantation de haies agroforestières à une régie de paissance en rotation pourrait favoriser la […]

Le projet demandé vise à accomplir un séjour de recherche en Israël dans l’objectif d’y rencontrer la professeure de linguistique et spécialiste de la polémique, Ruth Amossy. Ce stage permettra d’acquérir une expertise pour l’analyse d’un corpus polémique, par l’apprentissage de la méthode propre à Mme Amossy. Le projet permettra en ourte de nouer des […]

The major aim of this research project is to accelerate the development of the SORT1+ oncology platform. This novel platform is based on a new proprietary peptide targeting Sortilin, a key scavenging receptor. Sortilin has been reported to play a role in cell survival and in the progression of human cancers. For instance, Sortilin expression […]

Le premier objectif de ce projet est de developper un algorithme de resolution du probleme de planification de tournees de livraison a un niveau fonctionnel. Par fonctionnel, nous entendons integrer toutes les contraintes operationnelles du secteur industriel du partenaire afin que l’algorithme soit exploitable dans un contexte concret. Pour ce faire, une collaboration tres etroite […]

In 1845, the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote “I look everywhere for grandmothers and see none”. Working-class women poets of the eighteenth-century have been ignored by scholars for over 200 years. My project aims to reconnect these poets with their ‘granddaughters’ of today. I will be working in an interdisciplinary way, contributing across multiple platforms […]

Alfred Technologies propose une solution de gestion de cave à vin et de sommellerie en agrégeant différentes informations sur les multiples produits de la viticulture. Ainsi, pour permettre une meilleure recommandation des produits, ce stage vise à appliquer des techniques de traitement automatique de la langue naturelle afin de tirer profit des données sur la […]

A precursor cell is a special cell that has the capacity to divide and transform into several different cell types, including bone, liver, skin and fat cells. The fate of a precursor cell is dependent on its surrounding environment and the factors the cell is exposed to. These factors trigger specific changes within the precursor […]

This project aims at developing a magnetic nanoparticle-based technology that couples novel aptamers (MNP@apt) for targeting T-cell enrichment for CAR-T cell therapy applications. The proposed method offers several advantages to antibody-based isolation of T-cells, namely stability and ability to release captured T-cells. Finally, we aim to develop a method that can be amenable to large-scale […]

The current internship is an extension of an ongoing project (application ref. IT24703) which implies the advanced deep learning-based approaches to diagnose the simultaneous power transformers’ faults based on a time-series dataset. The power transformers were selected as the candidate assets in the previous project. They are pieces of essential equipment for electricity transmission and […]

The pollution from aircraft is expected to be seven to ten times higher in 2050 compared to 1990 level. To address the issue, a kinetic energy recovery system fitted onboard commercial aircraft is proposed. The system is widely used in automotive industry but has never been proposed for aerospace applications. Electric machines are a limiting […]

This project will explore how Toronto’s planning regulations, real estate market and urban form influence the feasibility of urban redevelopment within the city. The expected results will contribute to society and industry through the creation of 3D spatial decision support system as one of the key deliverables. This tool will help inform stakeholders of the […]
