Le Québec vit actuellement un manque criant de main-d’oeuvre. Pour atténuer cette crise, on commence de plus en plus à regarder du côté des bassins d’employés non traditionnels, notamment ceux éloignés du marché du travail. Or, ces personnes ne sont pas toujours équipées en termes de savoirs, savoir-faire et savoir-être pour intégrer durablement le marché […]

The human intestinal tract contains trillions of bacteria that greatly influence the way we absorb and use the nutrients in our food. In the context of obesity, the balance of this environment is impaired which could lead to the worsening of diseases related to obesity, such as type 2 diabetes. This highlights the need for […]

Overexpression of the calcium channel – Transient receptor potential vanilloid type (TRPV6) occurs in many epithelial type cancers [4] and hematological malignancy such as leukemia [7]. However, no correlation of TRPV6 to the deadly bone marrow cancer, multiple myeloma, has been made so far. Recently, we have detected the strong expression of TRPV6 protein in […]

A novel high temperature and high pressure materials test system, a so-called in-situ punch shear test cell, has been developed to qualify materials for reliable service in harsh environments representative of those typically encountered in oil and gas operations. Conventionally, materials are first exposed in harsh environments, then removed from the aging fluids for mechanical […]

Malgré la croissance technologique du domaine médical, les prothèses d’épaule n’ont connu que peu d’amélioration. Toutefois, installer une prothèse est complexe puisque l’ajustement de celle-ci aura un impact direct sur la mobilité et la douleur que le patient ressentira. Afin de maximiser le résultat, Stratera propose de concevoir une prothèse instrumentée permettant ainsi de mesurer […]

This project will explore the potential of agile geographic sensing technologies to support remote terrestrial platforms that are able to access unpaved wilderness environments. Laser scanning and photogrammetric survey systems will be tested to assess their capability to support real-time terrain navigation, spatial situational awareness,

Many problems in fashion originate from over consumerism and resulted in lower quality goods, poor working conditions, and detrimental impact to the planet. The fashion industry has recently shifted toward better environmental practices but focus has been on apparel because shoes are complex products. ARSHAE, located in Montréal, proposes an end-to-end solution that accounts for […]

Ce projet a pour objectif principal d’acquérir des données sur la consommation électrique des chargeurs pour véhicules électriques. L’acquisition de ces données se fera à l’aide de contrôleurs de charge déployés dans des immeubles à logements et en copropriété. Ces données serviront à améliorer le processus de gestion de la charge des véhicules électriques et […]

Patients are facing excessive wait times at hospitals, especially within Emergency Departments. Long wait times expose patients to unnecessary risks, and are very costly to hospitals. In addition, a number of governmental and medical guidelines impose limits on patient wait times. This has prompted hospitals to explore technologies that can enhance patients flow and reduce […]

Plant based or vegan meat applications in the marketplace is experience a large market push, as demand for vegan products increases. To produce vegan sausages, casings are typically produced out of seaweed polysaccharides (e.g., carrageenan). However, this has limitations as clients are demanding increased criteria, such as locally grown or made from local Saskatchewan ingredients. […]

Project Objectives: 1. To identify the best practices in knowledge recombination by comparing science-based multinational corporations and start-up firms. 2. To suggest refinements in alliance strategies for science-based multinational corporations and start-up firms. 3. To uncover processes and organizational structures to productively exploit the confluence of biotechnology and nanotechnology by MNCs. Post Doctoral Fellow Name: […]

Le vieillissement des systèmes de production hydroélectrique nécessite la réfection des groupes turboalternateurs dans les centrales. Considérant que l’arrêt de turbines pour des périodes de maintenance impacte directement la production hydroélectrique, il est nécessaire de considérer ces maintenances dans les plans de production. Actuellement, les modèles d’optimisation de la production hydroélectrique et les modèles de […]
