With technology advancements, specifically, the development of cloud technologies has created a new delivery method of applications to businesses. The traditional model of physical installing software on a per machine basis is shifting to a centralized hardware/software model accessible through the internet. The current software delivery model is dominated by primary market vendors such as […]

Global population growth, urbanization and changing climate patterns have increased the demand for potable water, wastewater reuse and value recovery from wastewater, and treatment of industrial process water. Population growth also results in increased demand for the shipping of goods by ocean freight, with the associated risk of the transport of unwanted marine life from […]

The production rate of petcoke is growing rapidly because of continuous increase in the volume of heavy crudes. This poses a long-term challenge to the upgrading and refining plants to find an economical petcoke utilization approach and reduce their waste products and also environmental impacts. In addition to its profitability feature, this technology should ideally […]

Ce projet vise à utiliser les polymères naturels du bois, la lignine et la cellulose, afin de remplacer des produits de sources pétrolières dans la composition des plastiques, produits isolants et matériaux composites. L’usine Kruger de Trois-Rivières a démarré en août 2014 une usine pilote de filaments de cellulose (FC) de pâte thermomécanique. Ces FC […]

Large businesses can incur enormous costs in servicing customers through call centres. Depending on the size of a company, the volumes of calls can be in thousands of calls per hour. Intern Thomas Bennett will work with Adroit Vista and his academic supervisors to develop a statistical methodology to optimally extract information from call center […]

HVdc is the preferred approach for transmission of bulk power into existing AC network from point to point and from remote generation resources because of technical advantages, including low transmission losses. Integration of HVdc grid with existing AC grid provides considerable economic benefits while throwing up challenges for effective control of both the grids at […]

This project aims toward development of a polymeric delivery system for controlled release of cannabinoids, with application in treatment of patients suffering from glaucoma. InMed Pharmaceuticals is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that specializes in developing cannabis based therapies with innovative drug delivery systems. So far, two candidates were introduced: CTI-085 is a topical formulation […]

The Project builds on existing research to advance the design of a novel, cargo carrying UAV for commercial and humanitarian purposes. The project will apply adaptable winglet, fuselage aerodynamics, and aircraft controller research to tailless, flex-wing ultralight aircraft with 2-axis control. Such an aircraft will have many advantages over conventional fixed wing aircraft, including mission […]

Irdeto has a need to create software that is protected in the white-box attack context, which means that attackers have direct access to the software, can execute it, modify it, and stop it to read the data being processed by the software. If attackers are able to modify software in ways that are useful to […]

Le virus de l’infuenza (la grippe) est dépendant des enzymes présentes chez l’hôte pour être infectieux. La collaboration entre les laboratoires de Dr Martin Richter, Dr Éric Marsault et Dr Richard Leduc à l’Université de Sherbrooke a permis de développer et d’optimiser des inhibiteurs qui bloquent l’activité de ces enzymes essentielles au virus. Ainsi, dans […]

La compréhension du système nerveux, plus particulièrement du cerveau, suscite beaucoup d’intérêt depuis toujours. Décoder l’organisation cellulaire ainsi que les modes de communication neuronaux demeurent par contre un énorme défi. La microscopie optique jumelée au développement de sonde fluorescente a permis de faire d’énorme progrès en neuroscience. Avec la venue de l’optogénétique et la capacité […]

Hundreds of millions of children in developing countries are unable to complete primary education. Mobile devices such as tablets are increasingly inexpensive and becoming accessible in large numbers in such developing countries. We propose developing educational software for such tablets to help children acquire arithmetic skills. To do this, we will develop new ways of […]
