Imaging brain activity patterns across different brain regions is important for understanding both how the brain works, and how it malfunctions in disease. Recently, development of new optical imaging techniques have allowed imaging such patterns during behaviours and in models of disease. However, one problem with these imaging techniques is that blood adsorbs light, which […]

Composite polymer insulators are an attractive alternative to traditional ceramic or glass insulators for overhead power distribution to towns and cities across the globe. In countries like Canada, there are two specific challenges to the long-term use of these materials: chemical stress in the form of salts that are used on roads in winter conditions, […]

The intestinal microbiota is essential for enhanced gut health. Factors such as diet transition and the stress of transportation are associated with changes in the normal microbiota of calves. In addition, specific microbiota profiles have been associated with better performance and used to predict diarrhea in calves. Improved performance can be achieved by the use […]

Cette demande Mitacs SSE a pour objectif central de valider le potentiel de la technologie ciblée par IRIDIS pour le contrôle qualité dans un contexte industriel. Des tests préliminaires ont été réalisés précédemment pour valider la faisabilité générale en laboratoire avec un succès suffisant.

ShotMarker is a product designed and manufactured in New Brunswick for long-range target competition shooting that measures the location of a bullet passing through a target. Each shot is measured at the target, transmitted wirelessly, and displayed on a smartphone or tablet at the firing line. This technology has changed the way long range shooters […]

From a human factors’ perspective, one of the main differences between controlling a Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), commonly referred to as drone, and piloting a traditional inhabited aircraft is the loss of much direct sensory feedback. It is posited that drone pilots’ situation awareness (SA), a key human factor in aviation safety, is negatively […]

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is currently diagnosed by motor symptoms. These symptoms are only present following around 50% degeneration of the brain cells affected by PD. If earlier diagnosis could be made, interventions could be implemented that may slow brain degeneration and delay the progression of the disease. Non-motor symptoms of PD, such as vision problems, […]

Le projet de stage consiste en la conception et la validation d’un outil pour la génération de coussins thérapeutiques destinés aux personnes en fauteuil roulant. Cet outil s’inspirera d’un modèle géométrique personnalisable représentant le fessier d’une personne en position assise. Il sera adapté pour prendre en compte les besoins cliniques relatives à la morphologie des […]

Avec la mondialisation des marchés, la rareté de la main-d’oeuvre et l’expansion du réseau de vente des entreprises, certains phénomènes économiques, sociaux et environnementaux en place dans des pays contraignent les entreprises à revoir leurs modèles d’affaires et leurs plans de croissance. Afin d’augmenter la compétitivité, d’accroître l’agilité et la réactivité d’une entreprise face à […]
