Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technologies have the potential to contribute to Canada’s resilience against climate and health crises and change people’s daily lives. Specific examples of use could be firefighting, land erosion mapping, the fast delivery of vaccines in the north of Canada, flying ambulances, defibrillators for emergency calls. These applications are challenging in many […]

To date, integrating fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars as a valuable option as internal reinforcement for concrete members has gained significant interest in the construction industry, due to their corrosion resistance and high tensile strength-to-weight ratio. The use of hollow reinforced concrete (RC) columns (HCCs) instead of solid columns has increased in the construction of bridges […]

De par son rôle important dans l’économie québécoise, le transport de marchandise fait face, toutefois, à divers enjeux structurels pour répondre aux défis de la décarbonisation et doit explorer de nouvelles solutions de mobilité telles que les camions à hydrogène (H2) à piles à combustible. Certes, les véhicules électriques à batterie aient déjà montré leur […]

Mines Agnico Eagle a investi massivement depuis 2020 dans la caractérisation automatisée des carottes de forage. L’application principale de cette caractérisation vise tout d’abord l’aide à l’identification des différents caractéristiques géologiques (lithologies, échantillonnage, structure, etc.) de manière systématique. D’après la littérature, l’outil de caractérisation automatisée pourrait être utilisé à des fins de prédiction des comportements […]

CADTH’s recommendations are based on clinical and economic evidence which assist in making an informed decision on the optimal use of health technologies3. However, this evidence does not always evaluate outcomes that patients and physicians deem important. By incorporating patient and clinician input, the clinical and practice perspectives of the unmet need are becoming reflective […]

Multiple applications in dual comb spectroscopy are limited by low signal levels with respect to the noise. This limits the quality of the spectroscopic measurements. The goal of this project is to develop a new measurement technique that allows us to increase the signal to noise ratio in dual comb spectroscopy by exceeding the semi-classical […]

Le Canada est le seul pays développé au monde doté d’un système de soins de santé universel qui n’inclut pas la couverture universelle des médicaments sur ordonnance. D’autant plus, le système d’assurance médicaments du Canada est l’un des plus coûteux au monde. Des millions de canadiens peinent à accéder aux médicaments dont ils ont besoin. […]

Cranberry farming is a multi-million dollar industry in Quebec, but it is highly dependent on managed pollinators such as honey bees and bumble bees to adequately pollinate each year’s crop. Unfortunately, managed pollinators are becoming more expensive for farmers to rent each year, and thus cranberry farmers are facing greater costs to supply cranberries to […]

Skeletal muscles make up a large proportion of total body mass and act as important energy reserves that are needed to support critical organ function. Skeletal muscle mass loss (atrophy) is a major health problem worldwide. The proposal focuses on the roles of MYTHO in regulatingskeletal muscle autophgy, fiber size and function. It will also […]

In Canada, haskap berries are gaining increasing popularity due to their health benefits. The health-promoting effects of haskap berries are primarily attributed to the antioxidants in the fruits, especially anthocyanins, phenolic acids, and vitamin C. Since the quality of haskap berries largely depends on their antioxidant levels, it is of great importance for the berry […]

Suite à une panne du réseau électrique, les principaux équipements des ménages voient leur consommation énergétique s’accroître pour combler le déficit accumulé pendant la panne. Par exemple, les équipements de chauffage et climatisation s’activeront à pleine capacité jusqu’au rétablissement des températures de consigne. Il en résulte, au niveau du réseau de distribution, en une demande […]

Software designed Networks (SDN), in particular OpenFlow and FORCES, encourage the writing of network protocols and policies as programs with the stated goal to make those programs ever more expressive, more predictable, more evolvable and more usable. Within the OpenFlow initiative, the level of programmability is expressed in a set of policy rules that are […]
