Metal nanoparticles are increasingly used in cosmetics, food packaging, textiles, toothpaste, and other ubiquitous products. Yet, their impact on our environment, food, and health is largely unknown because measuring nanoparticles in environmental and biological systems is very difficult. Similarly, measuring the uptake of metal-containing drugs by cells to develop smart therapeutics targeting tumors is also […]

To design and produce better materials for construction and manufacturing, as well as discover new and improved drugs, scientists need to be able to predict properties of molecules or crystalline solids – ideally, before they are made in the lab. At the atomic level, these properties are governed by quantum mechanics, which makes the prediction […]

IATA Aviation Safety Culture survey (I-ASC) is an employee survey aimed at providing the airlines with the means to meet the Safety Management Systems (SMS) requirement to measure and continuously improve their safety culture. The intent of the survey is to gain insights on organizational safety culture, identify areas of improvement and areas of excellence. […]

Four leagues, the NFL, NHL, NBA and MLB, dominate professional sport in North America. One of the disparities between all four leagues is the number of regular season games played, or for the purpose of this study competition time. There are also large differences between league revenues and thus the study will examine if there […]

Remote Indigenous communities governed by Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation (PBCN) will be engaged in a multi-criteria geospatial evaluation. The focus of the internships is to research the factors that can constrain and enable renewable energy (RE) development in the communities. The geospatial assessment will be based on structured cartographic modelling and map overlays that are […]

Saguaro Technologies est une entreprise qui oeuvre dans le domaine de la recherche pré-clinique. Elle vise à commercialiser une panoplie de produits de recherche innovants qui permettront à ses utilisateurs de mieux prédire le comportement des cellules humaines avant même de tester leurs produits en clinique. Un de ces produits, nommé ChromaLive, est un marqueur […]

There is a growing need to develop new crop protection products that are more effective against fungal disease and mitigate pathogen resistance. The fungicide product development process is time consuming and expensive and there is a great opportunity to reduce costs and time by using machine learning. In this project, an existing deep learning algorithm […]

The project involves the investigation and optimization of carbon electrodes to achieve efficient perovskite photovoltaic devices for indoor and outdoor applications based on a method that can be used for industrial production. The intern will first study the optimization of carbon electrodes for solar cells, which will involve materials and device engineering. Then, the intern […]

Deepchill and slurry ice is a dynamic medium whose fluid properties change with many different factors such as solute concentration, ice fraction or thickness, temperature, time (settling) and agitation. Once it is generated, it must be stored in different forms depending on the required final applied. Storage, fluidization and distribution of this medium is a […]

Le droit peine à se développer pour répondre aux enjeux multiples et diversifiés que pose le développement rapide des enjeux et des moyens mobilisés par la cybercriminalité et la protection des renseignements personnels. Dans ce contexte, les stages envisagés visent à tirer avantage de l’expertise de pointe développée par l’organisme partenaire pour développer un programme […]

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) it is an immunochemical test that utilizes an enzyme (a protein that facilitates a biochemical reaction) and an antibody or antigen (immunologic molecules) to detect and quantify specific substances in a biological solution. The development of an ELISA protocol presents several challenges, however. For example, ELISA technology currently is developed largely […]

The milling oats in Canada are good sources of both dietary fibers and plant proteins. Currently the majority of Canadian oats is used as animal feed. Finding new sources of plant proteins and fibers or valorizing the existing ones is necessity to obtain sustainable and healthy food products. Even though oat lacks some essential amino […]
