Effets de combinaisons des fusariotoxines: la zéaralénone (ZEN), le déoxynivalénol (DON) et la fumonisine B1 (FB1) sur le fonctionnement cellulaire et les voies de signalisation : Étude préventive

Les conditions climatiques et géographiques et les particularités socio-économiques de la population ont fait du Canada un pays propice au développement d’une flore fongique sécrétrice de toxines naturelles, les mycotoxines. Ces mycotoxines s’avèrent de puissants contaminants de l’environnement et particulièrement de la chaîne alimentaire. A l’heure actuelle, la situation est davantage aggravée par la multi-contamination […]

Drug Delivery Systems based on Pullulan

Burn wounds are one of the most common types of severe injuries worldwide and providing a dress to accelerate the wound healing process is a vital need. Among the materials could be used for wound dressing, pullulan, a microbial natural polymer, can be a nice candidate as an alternative to petroleum-based polymers. However, pullulan’s affinity […]

Applying software product line engineering for the creation of blockchain applications

Although blockchain is gaining momentum in the industry, practitioners still struggle with the technical aspects of implementing blockchain-based applications. This task requires deep knowledge of blockchain technology, a scarce skill due to its novelty. This project proposes an approach based on the combination of software product lines and blockchain technology to automatically generate on-the-shelf blockchain […]

Modélisation et optimisation de l’efficacité des surfaces texturées dans les engrenages

Le film d’huile présent entre les dents d’engrenages leur permet d’avoir une durée de vie élevée. Des études démontrent que d’ajouter des microcavités de surface sur deux pièces en contact séparées par un film d’huile aurait des effets bénéfiques qui engendreraient une réduction du frottement, donc conduiraient à des augmentations d’efficacité. L’idée principale est d’appliquer […]

Evaluation of the effect of butyrate supplementation on the expression of circadian genes, inflammation, sleep quality and psychological factors in patients with ulcerative colitis

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Although its prevalence is rapidly rising worldwide, the pathophysiology and definite treatment of IBD is yet unknown. In particular, Canada is among countries with the highest IBD prevalence. Recently, circadian rhythm disruption has received significant interest for the IBD pathophysiology. In addition IBD patients […]

Assessment of Landfill Final Covers Employing Contaminated Soils

Proposed research is to decommission five fully instrumented experimental covers that were constructed at the St-Nicephore landfill in 2018. This project provides the unique opportunity to exhume soil in a methodical approach to: (1) develop a contaminant profile throughout the experimental covers; and (2) establish the soil characteristics in-situ to be used in computer modelling […]

Optimization models and algorithms for multi-period cutting stock Problems

Many manufacturing companies face production planning problems. Decisions that need to be taken over multiple periods include when and how much to produce of specific products, so that demand is satisfied. In this project we consider a complex production process, in which items with a customized length need to be cut from bigger objects with […]
