Vaccine industry is evolving towards more efficient manufacturing systems. Adenovirus vectored vaccines are among new promising approaches for more efficient vaccines design and production. Recombinant Ad (rAd) can be used as gene deliver vector carrying different antigens for delivery into Ag-presenting cells (APC) eliciting a targeted immune response. Alternatively, antigens can be exposed on the […]

As future IoT infrastructure generates massive data in excess of exabytes, a unified architecture to handle Big Data is highly essential. Development of unified Big Data processing architecture for IoT infrastructure will provide a scalable and standard solution that addresses the problem of continuous increase in the volume of Big Data. Cloud networks provide necessary […]

One of the goals of modern bioanalytical chemistry is the simultaneous (multiplexed) detection of multiple biomarkers in individual cells. Biomarkers are defined as characteristic proteins, genes, or small molecules that can be measured and evaluated as indicators of normal biological or pathological state of a cell. Mass cytometry is a recently developed technique developed by […]

Le développement des fonctions qualité (DFQ) est un outil qui guide les équipes de conceptions de produit en tenant compte des besoins de l’usager. Dans le domaine de l’ergonomie, l’utilisation de cet outil est encore très peu documentée. Le projet consiste à documenter l’utilisation du DFQ dans un projet d’amélioration de l’ergonomie d’un produit. Le […]

Our industry partner, EHC GLOBAL, is a world leader in the design, manufacture and sale of escalator handrails products including recyclable handrail that features built-in antimicrobial properties and the ability to display custom graphics. They also deal in many other products such as escalator safety brushes, urethane rollers and engineered polymer products and are continuing […]

The proposed project will explore variations in the whole brain after 1 year of treatment that may exist between those who are taking an injectable antipsychotic versus those who are taking an oral antipsychotic in a cohort of first-episode of psychosis. All patients are treated in a naturalistic, early intervention setting at the Douglas Institute […]

MakerBloks is a creative solution to introduce children to the world of electronics. Our first products, MakerBloks, are small, reactive, color-coded building block that allows the user to learn and build electronic circuits without any technical background. In order to bring electronics learning to a new level of interactivity, MakerBloks want to develop a block […]

A novel transmitter architecture which presents more power efficiency than that of the transmitters being used currently in mobile communication base stations is proposed in this research project. The result of this research fills the gap between the theoretical idea behind this transmitter structure and its practical usage in cellular network base stations. This transmitter […]

Le présent projet implique le laboratoire d’analyse et de séparation des essences végétales (LASEVE) de l’UQAC et l’entreprise Bio Forextra qui mettent en commun leur expertise afin de pousser le développement d’extraits issus de la biomasse forestière du Québec. Dans un premier temps, il sera nécessaire d’optimiser le procédé d’extraction développé par Bio Forextra afin […]

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has emerged as an eminent technology to address today’s growing energy crisis and environmental issues. PEMFC technology faces multiple challenges before widespread commercialization. Water transport inside a PEMFC has a significant impact on the cell performance and durability. In this internship a numerical model is implemented to study the […]

The proposed research will develop a virtualized cloud-based multi-tenant environment tor testing and developing software defined networking products on a national scale. Similar centers are being built in other jurisdictions (Japan, Europe) but this is the first such initiative in Canada. We are partnering with CENGN, which is a consortium of industry partners who wish […]

Hemp powder is an increasingly popular supplement with body builders. Hemp contains many of the essential building blocks of proteins (i.e. amino acids) and also contains oil helpful to prevent swelling. It may also be beneficial for building muscle mass and increasing bone health. Despite these possible benefits, the effectiveness of hemp powder during a […]
