Despite the existence of pockets of deep expertise, there is not broad R&D capacity and talent in the social impact sector. Contributing factors include program based funding mechanisms, limited talent influx and partnerships with other sectors, among others. The goal of this project is to explore different models to increase R&D capacity and supports for […]

In schools, sounds and noise can affect the students’ and the teachers’ well being. They are constantly exposed to noise and the latter can create a sound environment that is inadeqaute for the students to study and concentrate properly. This project will explore potential benefits of visual and auditory design to establish with minimal budget […]

L’experience sera conduite sous tunnels a la Ferme des Fraises de rile d’Orleans inc. Les fralsiers a jour neutre (IN) seron! plantes en pots. Les pots seront disposes sur des dalles suspendues aux structures des tunnels. Des espaces d’environ 1,3 m entre les rangs permettront Ie passage de la rnacl1inerie et les operations culturales. Un […]

This project will investigate how the Global Compact on Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (the Compact), the first inter-governmentally negotiated agreement to cover all dimensions of international migration in a holistic and comprehensive manner, is impacting how the United Kingdom specifically, and EU Member States in general, are drafting new laws, rules or practice guidance […]

Fluid-bed granulation is the process of growing small particles into granules by spraying solids-containing liquids. It is an important process step in the production of various consumer-facing products like fertilizer, laundry detergent and food products that have to be of consistent quality. Industrial-scale granulators are notoriously difficult to build and prone to design flaws such […]

Dans le cadre de mon mémoire de maîtrise, j’entreprends d’étudier la contribution capitale apportée par le philosophe, mathématicien et physicien allemand, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, au problème métaphysique de l’application des mathématiques aux phénomènes réels. L’intérêt de ce projet est à la fois historique : donner une image fidèle de la pensée du philosophe d’Hanovre sous […]

Pour booster la productivité agricole dans les pays développées comme en développement, nombreuses innovations technologiques agricoles (variétés améliorée des semences et leurs itinéraires techniques, pratiques agro-environnementales, matériels agricoles post-récolte, complémentation alimentaires pour le cheptel, entre autres) sont diffusées et adoptées. La littérature scientifique s’est intéressée à leur adoption. Parmi les déterminants d’adoption de ces innovations, […]

This project will perfect current quantitative electrophysiology technique (qEEGt) based on multivariate spectral analysis of magnetic-electrophysiology recordings to provide sensitive biomarkers for its use in the Precision Brain Health, including diagnostic, prediction, and intervention. We will take advantage of the Bayesian statistics to produce novel solutions and solve the main unresolved problems of quantitative electroencephalography […]

The objective of this project is to investigate the feasibility of a novel anchor fixation device for which the anchoring mechanisms is prompted by the expansion and polymerization of a polymeric material. Accordingly, an innovative solution inspired from the self-healing polymer concept is proposed for sufficient expansion and fixation to wall panels for masonry and […]

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heritable disorder that causes bone fractures. The drugs that are used at present help to decrease the number of fractures by about half, but most people with OI have many fractures despite receiving currently available treatments. Mesentech Inc has developed a new drug that has shown a strong effect on […]

Creating smart indoor environments that detect and understand human daily life activities is attracting significant amount of attention, due to their huge potential impact on context-aware technologies. Aerial Technologies, our partner organization, is developing products that provide device-free indoor localization and activity recognition Wi-Fi signals generated by off-the-shelf Wi-Fi enabled devices. This project will use […]
