Wireless technologies offer new opportunities in the field of telecommunications and computer networks. Wireless sensor networks are a new technology that has emerged after the great technological progress in the development of smart sensors and powerful processors. The city of Trois-Rivieres is currently in the heart of a project to develop a smart public lighting […]

La gestion des déchets plastiques est difficile à gérer par leur quantité mais aussi leur recyclage coûteux et sélectif. Les plastiques non recyclés sont incinérés ou libérés dans l’environnement, ce qui entraine une accumulation dans le milieu. Ces dernières années, des microorganismes, (bactéries, champignon…) ont été identifiés et isolés pour leur capacité à dégrader différents […]

The development of international standards and codes led to the creation of safe and properly designed fully cured masonry structures capable of withstanding lateral loads induced by wind or earthquakes. However, as the age of masonry plays an important role on its strength, it was reported that before it is fully-cured, masonry is vulnerable to […]

Lubricants can lose viscosity when exposed to high temperatures, leading to engine damage. Viscosity modifiers can be added to address this issue. When applying these additives to lubricating oils, it becomes vital to assess the rheological behavior. As the microstructure of these additives play a golden role in their functionality in lubricating oils, it’s fruitful […]

MÉGAPHONE a pour mission de développer les compétences socioprofessionnelles des jeunes par la culture scientifique. Par le présent projet, Projet Mégaphone fait appel à une étudiante de maîtrise en gestion de l’innovation sociale pour lui confier un mandat de développement stratégique. Il comporte plusieurs éléments, notamment, l’élaboration d’un schéma de transformation sociale et une stratégie […]

Le frêne noir est une espèce emblématique des milieux humide du Québec, mais est actuellement menacé de disparition en raison de la pression combinée causée par l’agrile du frêne, un insecte ravageur exotique, et le changement climatique. Les environnements propices au frêne noir sont aussi souvent petits et donc difficilement suivis par les méthodes d’inventaire […]

The intern’s project will consist of measurements of important plasma characteristics for confinement, such as ion/electron densities and temperatures. This will be done at Nihon University where they have a one-of-a-kind Field-Reversed Configuration (FRC) collisional merging device. This device generates and magnetically-confines a plasma for the purposes of plasma fusion research and is an alternative […]

Le projet vise à analyser de manière comparative la production et la circulation des connaissances scientifiques en Argentine et au Canada (en mettant l’accent sur le Québec). Il est proposé de poursuivre et d’élargir les collaborations antérieures avec les professeurs superviseurs de l’Université du Québec à Montréal. Une attention particulière sera accordée à la position […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

This cross-sectoral research project will track the process of supporting four nascent community-based enterprises (CBEs) in indigenous communities in the Bolivian highlands, examining the complex interaction of factors that contribute to successful CBEs. The four cases will provide a test of an innovative “Community-Based Enterprise Development Model” (CBED Model) as a method to facilitate and […]

The presence of steroid hormones in the environment is an emerging global issue. Steroid estrogens are of particular concern due to their toxicity to humans and aquatic life at low (ng/L) concentrations and their considerable presence in human waste streams. Standard treatment processes in municipal treatment plants often do not completely degrade estrogenic compounds, and […]
