Optical vortices have recently attracted great interest in many fields of scientific and technologi-cal research. The proposed project aims to experimentally verify the rotational Doppler shift in the nonlinear optical regime using optical vortices. The frequency shift sensed through optical vortices in the nonlinear interaction is expected to be proportional to the order of the […]

The rotational Doppler shift in the nonlinear optical process will improve the precision and resolution of the detection of the dynamics of an object, particularly the resolution of its rotational motion. The project aims at the design, realization and study of rotational Doppler shift based on the nonlinear interaction specifically tailored for the backward-wave phase […]

The planned research aims to validate food allergen and gluten testing tools, and their incorporation in novel quality-management systems used in food production. It will leverage existing methodologies developed by r-Biopharm Canada (r-BPC), over the past decade through its parent company. Beyond a contribution to the validation and enhanced application of these methods on various […]

We propose a novel approach that will provide researchers with an improved method to study multiple molecules, simultaneously in the same tissue section. Our strategy is to use novel nanoparticles that each emit unique multispectral signature and can be used simultaneously. We aim to develop a novel method to detect 15 breast cancer and immunotherapy-related […]

Software failure may result in substantial damage, especially to human life and financial loss. High-quality software is recognized as a product that has been specified correctly, and that meets its expected specifications. It is important that the quality characteristics be specified, measured and evaluated. In this internship, the primary objective is to create the software […]

La capture au filet est utilisée pour documenter les communautés piscicoles. Cette approche comporte des coûts importants associés au déplacement d’équipes et de matériel sur le terrain et cause des mortalités indésirables. L’analyse de l’ADN environnemental (ADNe) consiste à documenter la présence d’espèces par filtration d’échantillons d’eau suivie de l’analyse d’ADN et représente une alternative […]

Can social media be used to make valid claims about public opinion? Skews in the usership of platforms such as Twitter and Facebook mean that the opinions of social media users usually do not reflect those of the population as whole. This project aims to develop a technique that corrects for the bias in social […]

The proposed study will examine the volcanological, mineralogical and geochemical evolution of the felsic volcanic complex hosting Horne deposit in a comparative study with the surrounding felsic volcanic centres in the Rouyn-Noranda region of Quebec. Volcanic and intrusive facies, alteration phases and mineralization styles will be described for each centre. Mineralization will be further examined […]

Le projet de recherche proposé pour ce doctorat porte principalement sur l’industrie 4.0. Étant une toute nouvelle tendance industrielle, développée en Allemagne depuis moins de 5 ans, les entreprises et les académiques s’y attardent de plus en plus. L’industrie 4.0 représente la 4ème révolution industrielle. Elle représente la connectivité entre toutes les parties d’un système, […]

Ce projet a pour but de proposer aux exploitants des centrales hydroélectriques d’Hydro-Québec un modèle d’estimation et de prédiction de la dégradation de leurs turbines hydrauliques. Celui-ci pourra être régulièrement mis à jour en se basant sur des inspections planifiées et réalisées de façon logique. L’estimation de la dégradation des systèmes est essentielle à la […]

Embroidery is a very popular art and a method of customization in the fashion industry. The method of embroidery has changed little since the advent of programmable sewing machines in the 20th century. Today, there is high demand for mass customization: consumers want their personalized embroidery patterns on their clothing. Technology already allows consumers to […]

The concept of Hi-Rail (highway-railway) units permits the normal road trucks to move in railway infrastructure. Hi-Rail vehicles serve different purposes, as well as maintenance, inspection and regular track works, in railway industry. Continental Railworks with more than 20 years of experience in providing Hi-Rail units for the class-1 railway companies in North America is […]
