The North Coast of British Columbia is a site of increasing industrial development, whose impacts pose an increasing threat to the health and well-being of Gitga’at people and their Territory. Though there are numerous monitoring programs to assess these impacts, Gitga’at have raised concerns about certain activities, such as tourism and recreational fishing, are currently […]

Excessive use of antimicrobials results in the evolution of antimicrobial resistant microbes, and the infection caused by such microbes are known as antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections. AMR infections are on the rise and has a negative impact on the quality of life, healthcare system and ultimately on the economy. The current proposal aims at the […]

In the energy sector, developing renewable energies such as carbon capture and utilization (CCU), bioenergy (biogas, biofuels, or green bio-chemicals), and hydrogen-based technology depends on improving catalytic technology. Technology providers in these sustainable areas are focused on developing better catalytic technology, while stakeholders must decide which technology to bet on. The challenge lies in the […]

Near-infrared (NIR) imaging systems play a vital role in human tissue imaging. These systems can facilitate various vital clinical applications. Such applications enable real-time metabolic monitoring, non-invasive imaging of the lymphatic system, and mapping of microvasculature blood flow. In this research, the problem to be addressed is the lack of accessibility to cheap near infrared […]

CT angiograms (CTA) are used to detect vessel occlusions in the brain in stroke patients and are a diagnostic criteria of acute stroke. Current standards of care require that an additional CT perfusion scan to be taken in order to accurately locate large and medium-vessel occlusions, allowing for the administering of endovascular therapy (EVT) to […]

Residential wastewater is one of the largest sources of water pollution in Canada. Before being discharged to the environment, the wastewater needs to be treated to reduce risks posed to human health and the environment. However, the vast territory of Canada and the disparate locations of communities makes it a huge challenge to set up […]

Suitable nanomaterials will be selected to be used as nano-absorbents for CO2 capture (CC). The nano-absorbents will be suspended in a base fluid used for CC to create a nanofluid. The performance of both the pure base fluid and the developed nanofluid for CC will be evaluated experimentally in the lab and compared. Similarly, the […]

Né d’une collaboration entre le Département Sociétés, Territoires et Développement de l’UQAR et l’entreprise Grenier Stratégies, ce projet de recherche a pour objectif de dresser le portrait des conditions de fabrique de l’innovation dans les petites et moyennes villes du Québec afin de proposer une analyse de la nature des écosystèmes d’innovation présents dans ces […]

In the era of the industrial revolution, the availability of vast amounts of data necessitates the development of software applications with online dynamic reliability prediction capabilities. Such software should enable a data-driven analysis of equipment life by incorporating various operational and environmental covariates that impact equipment failure, thereby mitigating production losses. Consequently, this project aims […]

Engineering organisations like Thales rely on large quantities of technical knowledge. When resolving a technical problem, for example, users have to follow a multi-step procedure in which the steps are described with various levels of detail, may not be up to date, or may not target the exact problem they are facing. Recent progress in […]

Due to climate change and associated increases in water temperatures, species distribution ranges are shifting. Fallfish (Semotilus corporalis), Eastern North America’s largest minnow species, are expanding northwards and are now found in new watersheds such as the Jacques-Cartier River located on the north shore of the St. Lawrence, Québec, Canada. The impacts of this species […]

This project will support Propel Impact in engaging and building relationships with organizations working in the Social Economy and Social Finance sectors in Quebec.
