Increased awareness of the issues associated with using opioids such as morphine that target the mu-opioid receptor – namely, that these drugs tend to lead to dependency and significant, often life-threatening, side effects – have led researchers to identify the delta opioid receptor as an alternative, and potentially safer, target for the management of chronic […]

Janro Imaging Laboratory (JIL) will work with researchers at Concordia and Emily Carr universities to develop 3D motion-tracking based interference tools for drawing and content creation in spatial drawing applications. As a basis for applied design research, researchers will use an alpha version of the “Optical Wand,” a product currently in developement at JIL for […]

This project is with Airpura – a developer of indoor air purifiers. We plan to develop a prototype and upscale the technology of recyclable coated iron-oxide systems, incorporated in the design, from the laboratory-scale to final consumer product use. The newly introduced adsorbent system serves to increase the removal efficiency of the volatile pollutants less […]

Lake St. Charles is the primary drinking water reservoir of Quebec City, Canada, providing water to about 300,000 people. Over the past decade, several occurrences of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) bloom have been recorded, affecting the quality of water in this strategic reservoir. Evaluation of observed data collected over the past decade indicates that the water […]

Un des marchés d’intérêt pour les molécules biocides des extraits d’écorces est l’agriculture, et plus spécifiquement la production de pommes de terre. Suivant la récolte des pommes de terre, leur entreposage peut devenir problématique. Deux grands défis se présentent; 1) les maladies c’est-à-dire le développement de microorganismes causant la pourriture des tubercules et 2) la […]

Le stage propose dans Ie cadre dc cette demande s’inscrit dans un projet plus vaste mene par Dominique Gravel, Christian Messier, Yves Bergeron et moi:meme, subventionnc par Ie FQRNT pour la periode allant de Janvier 2011 a Janvier 2015. L’objectifprincipal de ce projet est d’avoir une meilleure comprehension des phenomenes sous-jacents is la migration des […]

We aim to develop human bone extracts mixed with commercially available bone putty and prepare customized 3D print materials, both of which are infused with anti-cancer drugs. These bone substitutes could be used to fill and stabilize the large empty spaces and to locally deliver anti-cancer drugs that kills any remaining tumor cells and promote […]

Sound pressure level in aircraft cabin are similar to a noisy work place. One of the most disturbing noise for passengers is related to the engine fan noise during take-off and approach. This noise is mainly tonal (i.e., at specific frequencies) and in the low frequency range (below 500 Hz) – see figure below. Reducing […]

nEXO is a planned rare nuclear decay search in xenon-136. The experiment will tell us whether the neutrino, somewhat like a charge-less and extremely light electron, and its antiparticle are identical. However, nEXO has extremely low backgrounds and thus is sensitive to a lot more than just decays in xenon-136. Core-collapse supernovae are stellar explosions […]

Le projet consiste :!l extraire, a partir d’un Ires grand vOlume de courriels, un vocabulaire structure qui pourra etre mis a profit pour I’elaboration d’une politique de retention et de controle. Plus precisement, des methodes seron! developpees pour I’extraction d’un ensemble de termes pertinents puis, dans un deuxieme temps, I’ensemble des relations pertinentes dans lesquelles […]
