The goal of the proposed research project is to explore applications of frequency combs, for which laboratory applications have already been demonstrated, in an industrial setting. The research will be mainly focused on chemical sensing of stack emissions for monitoring purposes. As a secondary objective, the use of frequency combs in vibrometric measurements for structural […]

This study proposes to evaluate the quality of movement in patients with low back pain using a novel device. We are going to measure and compare the movement of people with back pain to that of healthy people. In addition, we plan on correlating the psychological factors associated with low back pain to tissue pathology. […]

Catheter-associated infections (CAIs) pose a significant healthcare challenge in Canada and worldwide. CAIs contribute to increased patient morbidity, prolonged hospital stays, and a significant burden on the healthcare system. With an aging population and growing antimicrobial resistance, there is an urgent need for innovative infection prevention strategies. This project explores using repellent liquid-infused catheters to […]

Au Québec, de nombreux pères immigrants d’expression anglaise doivent jongler entre leur travail, leur famille et l’apprentissage du français. Ce défi est encore plus grand lorsqu’ils doivent assurer la stabilité financière de leur famille tout en essayant de s’intégrer dans une société majoritairement francophone. Cette recherche vise à mieux comprendre les difficultés rencontrées par ces […]

In the age of artificial intelligence, machines learn from vast amounts of data to make predictions and decisions. But what happens when we need them to “unlearn” something—whether to protect privacy, correct biases, or comply with regulations? Existing approaches to machine unlearning can be effective at removing specific data from a model’s memory, but they […]

The number of biomedical scientific publications available in multiple repositories is huge and rapidly growing. As of April 2014, PubMed, the largest knowledge source for biomedical and life science literature, comprises more than 23 million citations. Querying PubMed with the keyword HIV provides a list of almost three hundred thousand citations. Retrieving data of particular […]

Les athlètes d’endurance ont recours à l’entraînement par intervalles de haute intensité afin de maximiser l’éventail des adaptations physiologiques qui sous-tendent la performance aérobie. Cependant, il existe une grande variabilité de réponses à l’entraînement selon les caractéristiques physiologiques des athlètes et de leur sexe, et l’identification des séances d’entraînement bénéfiques à toutes et tous est […]

L’aquaculture est une industrie à forte croissance à l’échelle globale mais qui tarde à se développer au Québec. L’élevage de nouvelles espèces pourraient aider à diversifier et stimuler cette industrie. Le loup tacheté est une espèce marine d’eau froide qui possède d’excellentes caractéristiques pour l’élevage commercial. L’étape de reproduction est maîtrisée, mais le succès d’incubation […]

Empawerpet (empawerpet.com) is pioneering the field of canine mental health diagnostics through their veterinary clinic-based biomarker testing platform. While they have established a foundation in biochemical analysis, they recognize the need to expand their diagnostic capabilities through a new AI non-invasive, accessible methods. The company is therefore interested in expanding their current clinic-based biomarker testing […]

PRISM is a proprietary LAMP stack-based platform developed by Levis Tech, a software development consultancy headquartered in Saskatoon. Serving as the backbone for approximately 90% of the company’s projects, PRISM represents over 15 years of accumulated intellectual property and technological advancements. This project focuses on enhancing key components of PRISM to ensure continued innovation and […]

Ce projet de recherche s’intéresse aux jeunes Québécois de 18 à 35 ans et à leur intérêt pour l’entrepreneuriat en économie sociale. Il vise à mieux comprendre leurs motivations, leurs valeurs et la dynamique collective qui les anime, tout en mettant en lumière ce qui distingue cette approche des modèles entrepreneuriaux plus individualistes. L’entrepreneuriat collectif, […]

Our gastro-intestinal tract is colonized by billions of microorganisms that constitute the intestinal flora or microbiota. These microorganisms, primarily bacteria, are required for our development and physiology; however, changes in the “normal” composition of the microbiota, referred to as dysbiosis, have been linked to chronic inflammatory diseases in humans. Currently, a major research effort is […]
