La problématique que le projet veut résoudre est la réduction de la vitesse sur le réseau routier et la sécurité de tous les usagers. 30% des accidents fatals sont dû à la vitesse et 82% arrivent sur les routes secondaires. Un véhicule équipé d’un limiteur de vitesse actif à la capacité de réduire significativement les […]

We will develop adaptive mirrors that will allow Photo-Acoustic Remote Sensing (PARS®) microscopes to autofocus, thereby allowing them to obtain three-dimensional, depth-resolved, images.

Industrial-scale production of protein from black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) has emerged as an efficient and sustainable alternative to wild harvesting or large animal farming. The principal waste product, called frass, has plant growth-enhancing properties exceeding those explained from primary nutrient (e.g., N,P,K) profiles, but how does frass confer these growth enhancing properties upon plants? […]

The proposed research project aims at technology for environmentally benign recycling of nickel. The process entails conversion of nickel found in the “black mass” from recycled Ni-based batteries into nickel carbonyl, Ni(CO)4, by reaction with CO at modest temperatures around 50-120°C (pressuredependent). Only nickel carbonyl is volatile under these conditions and is easily separated from […]

This proposal describes a multidisciplinary approach to optimize the separation of peptides from an enzyme digest of filleting waste (frames) recovered from farm-raised Atlantic salmon. Our work has demonstrated that a particular salmon peptide fraction has the ability to reverse the effects of type 2 diabetes in rodent feeding trials and model system (tissue culture) […]

Novagrow propose un stage de planification stratégique pour développer un nouveau marché pour ses produits: l’Ontario. Novagrow a consolidé une forte présence au Québec en 2021, et pour son année 2022, l’entreprise veut mettre en place un plan de commercialisation de ses produits dans une nouvelle province, soit l’Ontario. En collaboration avec un ou une […]

One of the main issues with many quantum computing platforms is that not all quantum bits (qubits) can interact directly. This results in an overhead in the number of operations required to run an algorithm and ultimately in longer run times that can become prohibitive. Entangled Networks is currently developing hardware and software solutions to […]

Au Canada, les études explorant la relation entre la vigne et son microbiome sont encore peu nombreuses, surtout sur les cépages hybrides cultivés dans l’Est du Canada. Ces cépages, issus de croisements entre l’espèce Vitis vinifera et des espèces Vitis indigènes à l’Amérique du Nord (V. labrusca, V. riparia), ont une biochimie particulière, qui leur […]

Multi-stream execution is a technique in GPUs that allows multiple operations/kernels from the same program to effectively use GPUs without explicitly stating the affinity of threads to the cores. Several recent optimizations in Machine Learning (ML) algorithms leverage multi-stream execution. While performance modeling of ML applications is well studied under single-stream execution, performance models of […]

Histology studies the microscopic anatomy of biological tissues, which is critical to clinical disease management and fundamental to biological understanding. However, current approaches that rely on bright-field microscopy require extensive issue preparation prior to imaging and may thus take days. Photoacoustic remote sensing, or PARS, can dramatically reduce the histology bio-imaging time from days to […]

Les produits cosmétiques et de santé naturels représentent le segment dont la croissance est la plus rapide au cours des dernières années dans le marché des produits de soin. Ces produits ont des applications variées dont l’efficacité repose sur le choix des ingrédients actifs. La luzerne produite au Québec par le partenaire, propose un ingrédient […]

Operating a fleet of autonomous robots introduces challenges such as reduced safety for humans working around the robots, reliability of intern communication of the robots, coordination behaviour of the robots, etc. At Fourien we have developed autonomous robots which work very well as stand alone units but there is a need of development of a […]
