Public food forests can be an important way to increase urban resilience, sustainability, and food security. The food forest, or forest garden, is an edible landscape designed for food production. This research investigates how publicly-accessible urban food forests are currently being utilized to enhance food production and resilience. By reviewing existing examples, this research seeks […]

Pour faire face à la congestion en milieu urbain, de plus en plus de citoyens se tournent vers le covoiturage pour permettre de partager leurs véhicules pour effectuer des déplacements vers leur lieu de travail. Il existe des plateformes web permettant aux gens de trouver des itinéraires communs, mais ces sites sont limités, car il […]

The current approach for testing compounds of interest in blood such as drugs or nutrients involves drawing blood samples into vials that then require refrigeration prior to testing. Since transportation to remote laboratories is challenging, people need to go into medical labs to have their blood tested. This research will develop improved techniques that enable […]

Pain in the craniofacial region is one of the more complex and difficult to treat conditions for patients and clinicians. Current treatments are complicated by limited efficacy and considerable side effects. Many of these conditions show greater prevalence in women than men, but there is a lack of basic research utilizing female animals. Recent advances […]

Public security organizations have deployed video surveillance at many security checkpoints, at e.g., airport inspection lanes and border crossings. Face4 Systems provides solutions for watchlist screening based on state-of-the-art commercial technologies. Although automated still-to-video FR is a valuable function in video surveillance, screening for threatening individuals is largely limited to the FR abilities of a […]

Prenatal alcohol exposure results in a vast spectrum of teratogenic effects and lifelong implications for a child, called fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). Since FASD is not genetic-related and there is no treatment to reverse damage caused to the brain, earlier nutrition intervention to pregnant mothers may be a key to prevent or mitigate the […]

Individuals (donors) wishing to donate funds to non-profit and/or charitable organizations want to know how the organizations operate and how effectively their donations are used. Dexterity has developed an online service called Place2Give which aims to answer those questions. The research project aims to employ social network analysis and data mining to enhance the data […]

Le projet vise à établir l’état de santé des transformateurs du réseau de transport électrique dans le but de passer d’une approche systématique de maintenance à une approche basée sur la condition réelle du transformateur. Dans le cadre de ce projet, le stage consistera à établir une méthode permettant d’établir, en temps réel, le niveau […]

B. Gosselin and Doric Lenses Inc. have developed the first low-cost wireless head mounted optogenetic device enabling simultaneous biopotential recording and optical stimulation in the brain of freely moving rodents. This project aims at providing such a wireless optogenetic headstage system with user programmable functions, so it can address the dual nature of brain biopotentials, […]

Le site minier Doyon possède des centaines d’hectares couverts de tonnes de résidus miniers. Vu l’impact majeur des déchets miniers sur l’environnement, le MDDEP oblige, par des lois, la restauration de ces sites. Le Centre Jardin Lac Pelletier (CJLP) et le CTRI ont développé des techniques de restauration de sites miniers en valorisant la MOR […]

The objective of the proposed research project is to develop a realistic color appearance model based on the human visual system’s functioning that addresses the issue of noise under low luminance levels. This will be incorporated into algorithms used in the color reproduction and retargeting algorithms of OLED displays. This model should give rise to […]
