The goal of this research project is to explore the current definition of obesity along with the association of body fat distribution and biochemical markers with serious health conditions. Our investigation will employ the utilization of the dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (the current gold standard to measure body fat percentage, subcutaneous body fat and visceral body […]

L’énergie solaire est devenue très compétitive, mais l’inadéquation entre l’offre et la demande limite son utilisation dans certaines applications en raison du coût élevé du stockage. Pour résoudre ce problème, l’entreprise Énergie Solaire Innovatrice ISP travaille sur le stockage de l’énergie solaire sous forme de chaleur, afin de l’utiliser plus tard, soit directement sous forme […]

Wind turbine generator power output and consumer electricity demand vary independently from one another. This presents a difficult situation for electricity grid managers as they attempt to exactly match demand using wind turbines and conventional generators (e.g. hydro, fossil fuels). Accurate forecasting of wind turbine generator power enhances management of the electricity grid, allowing for […]

Le but du projet est d’optimiser la production d’électricité en site isolé par l’étude de la stratégie de contrôle. Cette stratégie correspond à tout ce qui régit le choix des modes de production en tout temps. Elle repose sur des valeurs « seuils » guidant les choix des modes de production. L’objectif d’une stratégie de […]

L’une des stratégies mise en oeuvre par Hydro-Québec pour accompagner la demande croissante d’électricité, consiste à caractériser les phénomènes contribuant à la dégradation des turbines hydrauliques. Dans cette optique, le phénomène de cavitation est étudié, car il est à l’origine de l’érosion et donc de l’endommagement des turbines. Ce phénomène correspond au passage de l’eau […]

This research project will investigate the attitudes and beliefs towards learning and different kinds of training programs at a company called White Water West, with the intention of then addressing any identified problem through the design, development, and implementation of learning programs and materials. This proposal is for a single internship unit of four months, […]

Ce projet, en partenariat avec IBM Canada et son usine de Bromont, vise à développer des technologies avancées pour l’assemblage et les tests électroniques. IBM Bromont, la plus grande usine de son genre en Amérique du Nord, se spécialise dans des innovations comme l’assemblage flip-chip, les systèmes à haute densité et les tests avancés. Cependant, […]

Identification of insect prey is essential for understanding the foraging behaviours of insectivorous bat and bird predators. The intern will develop software tools that will aid a skilled entomologist with the rapid identification of insects from photographs taken from field collecting sites. The proposed tools will facilitate the identification of photographed insects to order/suborder and, […]

This project aims to enhance SolvedAF’s digital product strategy by developing a workflow automation system that streamlines client onboarding, project tracking, and internal collaboration. By integrating automation tools and optimizing business process workflows, SolvedAF will improve efficiency, reduce manual bottlenecks, and enhance the user experience for both internal teams and clients. The project will contribute […]

“THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW”

Agricultural crop losses from fungal pathogens such as blackleg (Leptospheria maculans), a major disease of Canola, results in millions of dollars of economic losses each year. The rapid and conclusive identification of the presence of a fungal crop pathogen in a field before planting can help producers make informed decisions about crop selection. This project, […]

The principal objective of this proposal is to discover novel drugs to treat colon cancers. Currently colon cancer is a huge medical problem and there are many disadvantages to current drug therapies. These disadvantages include their ineffectiveness to completely eradicate cancers, causing toxic side effects and the development of multidrug resistance. A group of compounds […]
