Ce projet vise à faire ressortir les avantages de la collaboration pour valoriser l’achat local dans la région de la Chaudière-Appalaches. Plusieurs ressources sont sous-utilisées dans la région et en même temps plusieurs autres producteurs n’ont pas les moyens de combler la demande du marché. L’objectif principal du projet est de mettre en évidence les […]

La culture en serre a de nombreux avantages par rapport aux cultures en champs notamment une meilleure utilisation de l’eau, des nutriments, des rendements plus importants et une culture à l’année. Cependant, pour atteindre ce dernier avantage, les serres doivent évacuer de la chaleur en été et consommer de l’énergie en hiver. Il en résulte […]

Raymor Industries is a Canadian high-tech company using thermal plasma technology to produce single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and graphene. As synthesized, the SWCNTs inevitably contain carbon impurities and catalyst metal particles that must be removed to continue a separation process according to their electronic properties (metallic or semiconducting). Once purified and electronically separated, the SWCNTs […]

Ce projet consiste à mener une recherche visant à éclairer le phénomène inédit qu’est la pandémie de la COVID-19 comme choc de carrière et dont les résultats probants seront valorisés par une action de formation auprès des professionnelles et professionnels en counseling et développement de carrière. Un recueil mixte de données (par questionnaire puis entretiens […]

AERIUM employs aerial drones to collect data and perform geospatial data analytics in real-time applicable for a variety of fields which include the oil sector, airport transportation, forestry, and smart wildlife management. This proposal focuses on leveraging the data characteristics available in multispectral imagery and that may be missing in standard RGB data to detect […]

Federal Canadian regulations of the Fisheries Act require operating mines and pulp mills to undertake biodiversity monitoring every three years to assess potential environmental effects. Different groups of organisms have differential sensitivity to pollutants and other environmental factors, so communities (e.g., invertebrates) provide a rich source of information about the system’s health Identifying invertebrates using […]

The high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) poses a serious threat to the healthy growth and development of many children. The lack of oxygen during sleep can lead to daytime sleepiness, growth failure, behavioural problems and developmental delay. Polysomnography (PSG), the gold standard to diagnose OSA is high in cost, requires a well-equipped sleep […]

Nowadays, the electrical systems have thousands of nodes. To simulate this kind of systems electromagnetic transient programs (EMTP) are often used. One of the widely used commercial programs available is PSCAD, which can simulate large networks. However, these kinds of systems could impose an important computational burden, and use a considerable amount of time to […]

Canada is launching a new plan for its oceans, titled the “Blue Economy”, which is focused on economic development that will benefit Canadians equitably and protect the environment. This project is focused on understanding a baseline of who is part of Canada’s ocean industries, and create a monitoring tool to see if diverse Canadians benefit […]

21st century Canada requires a data fluent arts and culture sector. The cultural sectors and their funders must mobilize data to understand the impact and value of their efforts in Canada and abroad, and to improve these efforts. Building a Data Fluent Canadian Cultural Sector will identify existing data collection efforts in Canada, describe data […]

Food security is a global concern due to the ever-increasing population amid limited agricultural land resources. Farmers utilize fertilizers and herbicides to ensure consistent crop establishment. However, overuse of fertilizers and other treatments leads to negative consequences resulting in soil depletion, environmental contamination, and pollution. An effective way to reduce these toxic chemicals is to […]
