Many facets of human life are affected by bacterial pathogens. Bacteria can cause both animal and plant diseases. Extensive use of antibiotics to contend with pathogenic bacteria has resulted in an increase of multi-resistance to antimicrobials. Even when antibiotics are used vigilantly, their application in poultry or other fields of animal production can lead to […]

La croissance racinaire des plantes fourragères destinées à l’alimentation des bovins a été peu étudiée. Ce projet vise à évaluer l’effet de certaines pratiques agronomiques sur la croissance des racines de fléole des prés, de fétuque élevée et de luzerne. Pendant deux saisons de croissance, les racines de ces plantes ont été photographiées chaque semaine, […]

Industry 4.0 is the digitization of a company’s physical assets and the company’s integration into digital ecosystems with its value chain partners, from suppliers to customers. It uses smart technology and the use of real-time data to increase flexibility, customization, efficiency and productivity, and to reduce time, costs and innovation cycles. This project will focus […]

Il y a peu de traitements efficaces pour réduire les symptômes de douleur associés à l’arthrose. Ceci est en partie dû à nos connaissances limitées sur le sujet. Plusieurs modèles ont été développés et celui qui se démarque est celui de l’injection intra-articulaire de mono-iodoacétate (MIA). Bien que le modèle de MIA chez le rat […]

Le volet 1 porte sur la santé des entrepreneurs et son impact sur l’engagement de ces derniers dans une démarche de carrière entrepreneuriale. Un outil (Capital santé entrepreneur) sera créé et deux expérimentations seront menées pour […]

There is a rapidly growing need for voice powered human-machine interaction modalities for varieties of devices. Despite enormous investment in research and development in this area by a number of companies, significant limitations remain which prevent the ubiquitous proliferation of speech recognition. These limitations include poor performance in the presence of noise, inability to handle […]

Canada’s aerospace industry relies on expensive and time-consuming testing campaigns to introduce new composites or obtain baseline material properties. Design allowables (e.g., strength used in design phases) are obtained from empirical knock-down factors that account for temperature, environment, etc. This approach is over-conservative and disconnected from physical grounds; it also leads to situations where different […]

Seniors take many medications during their lifetime. As seniors age, some of these medications may become unnecessary or even harmful. The process of stopping a medication that has the potential to cause more harm than benefit is called deprescribing. Physicians are more in the habit of prescribing than deprescribing, even though patients like the idea […]

In Canada, women have made significant inroads in television, web series, documentaries, and experimental films. But few women directors and screenwriters participate in big-budget feature film production. This study explores the marginalization of women in the feature film industry through the lens of film production training. As previous studies have shown, film education can shape […]

The purpose of this project is to position Quebec in the global production network and to compute Quebec’s Product Complexity Index (PCI) and Economic Complexity Index (ECI) using Hidalgo and Hausmann (2009) methodology. Based on the rankings of PCI and ECI, we can have a clear understanding of the economic structure of different countries and […]
