This project seeks to add value to agri-food waste by extracting natural chemicals from the waste for use in new crop protection applications and then using the leftover material as a diet ingredient for producing black solider fly larvae. Multiple products can be obtained from black solider fly larvae including fertilizer, protein and oil. The […]

Pour assurer le maintien et l’accroissement de la vitalité et visibilité, une organisation à but non lucratif (OBNL) se donne les moyens et la capacité d’adaptation pour évoluer vers une transformation numérique réussie, ainsi que pour créer de la valeur pour leurs clients, projets et services. L’objectif général consiste à analyser l’organisation avant sa transformation […]

Selenium-contaminated Soil remediation could be achieved using a cost-effective technology using a combination of biochar and phytoextraction. Selenium will be uptaken from soil and accumulated in different plant species with the support of biochar amendments. The potential of phytoextraction of Salix sp. and Phleum sp. plant species in a selenium contaminated soil amended with biochar […]

Le quartier de la Petite Bourgogne, à Montréal, connait des problèmes d’accessibilité alimentaire. De nombreux habitants n’ont pas accès à des denrées saines, abordables et en quantité suffisante à proximité de leur logement. Le quartier est considéré comme un désert alimentaire dans lequel les épiceries sont absentes ou à grande distance des résidences. Un accès […]

Currently, the staff of the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) is uncertain of how Canadian athletes, coaches, and members the Canadian sport community perceives their efforts and programs. This research will identifY if the current policies and procedures for anti-

Les connaissances des spécialistes de patinage de vitesse courte piste Canada sur la manière dont patinent leurs athlètes d’élite sont principalement basées sur leur expérience personnelle. Actuellement, le manque de mesures concrètes réduit considérablement les innovations technique et d’entrainement que s’autorisent les spécialistes. L’objectif du projet consiste donc à concevoir un système capable de mesurer […]

This research is concerned with speaker diarization for the purpose of facilitating automated speech transcription. This problem has multiple depths depending on the prior knowledge provided to the system. The type and amount of information about the number and characteristics of the speakers can differentiate this problem in a range from a 1-to-N matching, where […]

This project aims to develop an initial velocity model of the Revell Batholith and surrounding Greenstone belts. Establishing a microseismic network in this area is planned to better understand the long-term seismic hazard and geology of the region and at the site-scale. In order to accurately evaluate and interpret the microseismic data coming from a […]

Research problem: Reclamation practitioners must consider seed source for revegetation measures that maximize long-term resilience of reclaimed sites in regions undergoing rapid climate change. Climate analog mapping, relating climate of a space at a point in time to that of another, can help identify location of seed sources best adapted for current and future climates. […]

La compagnie Wastack vise à développer un système permettant d’identifier différents types de déchets néfastes dès leur arrivée aux sites d’enfouissement afin d’éviter que certains matériaux tels que les batteries, les écrans d’ordinateur ou les pneus s’y retrouvent alors qu’ils devraient être traités ailleurs. L’objectif du projet est de fournir une rétroaction continue aux citoyens […]

The Sustainable Engineering Design Audit (SEDA) score is to be designed to evaluate environmental impact on the balance sheet alongside the bottom line. The ability to evaluate environmental use alongside financial decisions will increase green practices and pro-environmental behaviour. The score will use appropriate Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) boundaries through a cradle-to-grave analysis and examine […]

Our laboratory has recently provided evidence that NPY is also involved in the progression of breast cancer. We have demonstrated that breast cancer tumors have sympathetic nerves, NPY and NPY receptors. Also, we have shown in cell culture studies, that when NPY binds to the Y5 receptor on breast cancer cells, those cells will divide […]
