L’aquaculture des bivalves marins est souvent réalisée à l’aide de structures de filet mises en suspension dans la colonne d’eau. Malgré leurs avantages, ces structures représentent un substrat de fixation pour une grande variété d’organismes, appelés biosalissures. Cette fixation peut alors nuire aux bivalves en élevage mais également à la gestion des structures immergées. Des […]

Aéroplan est un programme de fidélité où les membres accumulent des milles de récompense à l’achat de produits chez les partenaires de la coalition (Air Canada, Star Alliance, Banque TD, Banque CIBC, Banque Amex, Esso, Home Hardware, Fairmount, Avis, Toyota, etc.). Les milles accumulés peuvent ensuite être échangés contre des récompenses (billets d’avion, certificat cadeau, […]

Les conditions météorologiques influencent les processus internes et externes responsables de la variabilité spatio-temporelle des propriétés du manteau neigeux. Une étude approfondie des conditions micrométéorologiques sur les divers secteurs d’opération d’Avalanche Québec est nécessaire pour maintenir la fiabilité des prévisions et soutenir le développement d’outil technologique d’analyse et de détection des couches faibles. La modélisation […]

This research project will work with Canadian start-up 6Sensmatic in two areas: building a digital marketing platform and exploring strategic opportunities related to the blockchain; a digital ledger technology that underpins cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. First, the intern will help 6Sensmatic design, develop, prototype and analyze a novel digital marketing platform that will connect firms […]

The Pacific Salmon Foundation is leading a multi-year project: Salish Sea Marine Survival Program (SSMSP) to determine what is affecting the survival of juvenile salmon and steelhead in the Salish Sea. There are three hypotheses to investigate. The impact of availability of food for the fish, the predation on the fish and other factors including […]

Annually, large number of tailings samples are collected by operators and sent to laboratories for measurement of Methylene Blue Index (MBI). This procedure is costly, time-consuming, and results are a function of the methods used and personnel expertise. In prior research we developed predictive models for the quick and consistent estimation of tailings MBI from […]

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory disorder of the lung, and one that affects 2.6 million Canadians and 380 million people worldwide. The current therapies are very imprecise and none modifies disease progression or mortality. There is a pressing need to discover novel targets to enable precision health, promote new therapeutic discoveries, and […]

In recent years, the small-scale drones have gained a growing interest in industry and in academia since they are widely available and have many potential applications. The integration of intelligent camera into drone systems broadens the range of potential drone applications and enhances the performance of the drone. However, how to design and implement the […]

The goal of this research project is the detailed design and optimization of a series of 10 Yielding Brace System (YBS) connectors that will eventually be made commercially available as a higher performance, earthquake resistant building system. The intern will design and optimize each connector, focusing on both the local behaviour of the device, through […]

There have been great interests on the utilization of biomass as a potentially renewable and sustainable energy source for greenhouse gas mitigation. In British Columbia and Quebec, abundantly available biomass residues are potential renewable energy sources if effectively utilized. In BC alone, there are estimated 32 million tonne per year of biomass residues available, but […]

This internship is part of CRIAQ’s structuring project “CRIAQ-1645 Digital Aerospace”, whose goal is to identify converging trends between aerospace and information and communication technologies (ICT). This project will help in program orientation, for inferring R&D needs in the short, medium and long-term, so to develop digital capabilities that will be more and more important […]

Vision loss related to malfunctioning of the brain have always been believed to be unrecoverable in adults. Novel treatments, however, have shown the opposite. Visual stimulation is a computer-based system which devised visual stimuli are presented to participants. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a non-invasive technique to deliver an electric current to the brain. Both treatments […]
