Aptamers are sequences of DNA or RNA allowing a specific binding of a certain molecule. The use of aptamers instead of antibodies in different applications makes it less time consuming and cost-effective because of the easy production of nucleic acids and their rapid binding to their target. In this project, we suggest using color-coded magnetic […]

Suite à un portrait de la violence conjugale (VC) et de la violence dans les relations amoureuses (VRA) chez les jeunes publié en 2019 qui illustre l’ampleur de ces problématiques sur son territoire, la Table paix et sécurité urbaines présidée par l’arrondissement de Montréal-Nord, la Table femmes Osez au féminin, la Table de quartier Montréal-Nord […]

Through unknown mechanisms, parent-of-origin-specific methylation marks on one allele of imprinted genes are able to escape the embryonic reprogramming wave occurring during the first week of development and retain their profiles via DNA methylation maintenance activity. Failing to maintain proper genomic imprinting patterns during the embryonic reprogramming leads to various abnormal developmental delay. What remains […]

Des études italiennes réalisées en avril 2020 ont montré une forte relation positive entre des concentrations de MP10-2,5 et une vitesse de propagation plus élevée de la COVID-19, information récemment corroborée par l’OMS. Cela a augmenté notre demande de produits et de services, mais les restrictions en matière de voyages et de logistique nous empêchent […]

L’objectif des travaux de recherche entrepris lors du séjour à l’étranger est de de mieux comprendre comment le contrôle en temps réel du réseau de drainage (contrôle intelligent des infrastructures de drainage) influence la conception des ouvrages de contrôle à la source (comme les infrastructures vertes visant à faciliter l’infiltration et l’évaporation de l’eau pluviale […]

Accurate and high-resolution analysis of precipitation accumulation is of primary importance for hydrological and meteorology applications. In the last decade, the Canadian Precipitation Analysis (CaPA) system has been developed and implemented at Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC)’s Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC). The goal of this project aims to improve CaPA by including adjusted […]

The waste generated from construction, renovation and demolition (CRD) activities accounts for around 27% of all waste generated in Canada. The large amount of CRD waste which could be prevented or recycled is sent to landfill without utilization, resulting in environmental problems and waste of resources. The aim of project is to provide the best […]

Dans un contexte de pandémie causée par la Covid-19, l’entreprise Code F. se doit d’opérer un pivot de son modèle d’affaires afin d’adapter ses solutions aux besoins de la clientèle et de sa communauté. Ce pivot de modèle d’affaires se traduisant par un virage technologique et numérique d’une entreprise d’économie sociale, ainsi que par une […]

Climate change has become a major concern over the past decades. In this context, one of the biggest issues is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced every year around the globe. In response, researchers have discovered creative solutions to recycle CO2 via a process commonly known as CO2 fixation. More recently, the use of […]

In this project, we propose the use of blockchains to provide reliability, security, and transparency for collecting and querying IoT data in the energy sector. In particular, we will implement and evaluate our blockchain solution for enabling transactions in local energy markets, where homeowners have the capacity to generate energy (through renewables), stock energy (through […]

The Feline Grimace Scale is a validated tool that uses changes in facial expressions for acute pain assessment in cats. The tool is a valid, reliable, sensitive and specific for feline acute pain recognition for various types of painful conditions (www.felinegrimacescale.com). The aim of this research project is to assess the effects of sedation and […]

Informal learning involves acquiring knowledge outside of a structured setting in which learning is self-directed and developed from experience, exposure, and interactions with their environments (Nelson et al., 2006). Examples of informal coach learning includes experience as an athlete, coach observation, self-reflection, reading books, exploring the internet, and learning from experts or mentors in the […]
