Audioptics Medical is a startup company dedicated to advancing diagnostics for diseases of the ear. Our optical imaging technology allows doctors to see through the intact eardrum into the middle ear and to use sound to stimulate middle ear structures and observe how they vibrate. This information can help to determine the cause of conductive […]

La Stratégie d’économie d’eau potable 2019-2025 a été lancée le 22 mars 2019 lors de la Journée mondiale de l’eau. Cette nouvelle stratégie, qui a été développée et qui est portée par l’ensemble des partenaires, comprend des outils plus complets permettant de brosser un meilleur portrait de l’utilisation de l’eau potable et du coût des […]

Une approche alternative aux hélicoptères pour lever des charges est d’utiliser des aéronefs à voilure fixe autopilotés qui effectuent un vol circulaire au-dessus de la charge. Celle-ci peut donc être levée par les câbles liant la charge aux deux avions avec une efficacité dépassant cette des hélicoptères par un facteur 5. Le présent projet vise […]

Cellular immunotherapy has yielded numerous clinical benefits in treating cancer. While many successes involve CAR T cells, unfortunately this potent anticancer cell therapy can cause serious and even fatal complications. Another immune cell, the natural killer cell (NK), may lead to effective treatment without unwanted side-effects. Furthermore, the use of stem cell-derived NKs provides additional […]

Age is a key factor in cancer burden, with 28% of new cancer cases and 22% of cancer deaths occurring in individuals between the ages of 60-69. Despite this, little research has examined cancer survivorship in older adults. This is unfortunate, as older cancer survivors experience poorer quality of life, functional status, and general health […]

A considerable percentage of BNC projects are impacted by stoppages, re-adjustments and delays. Such issues are often communicated too late to prevent significant losses or facilitate the reallocation of funding to maximize value creation for the bank and its clients. The majority of delivery metrics (risk, statuses, stakes) that help to anticipate strategic issues and […]

Avec les moteurs de recherche actuels, l’utilisateur a accès à de plus en plus d’information : la quantité d’information à analyser augmente de jour en jour et l’utilisateur ne peut consulter toute cette information parce que tout simplement il n’en a pas le temps : après avoir regardé les résultats de la 1ière ou 2ième […]

GFlowNets are generative networks that consider the generation process as a flow network. They are theoretically better at handling the difficult cases of sampling different modes of a distribution and when different sampling trajectories can yield the same final state. In this work, we hope to explore various improvements to GFlowNets to make them suitable […]

The climate of northern Quebec and Labrador is strongly influenced by climate change and internal (natural) climate variability on time scales ranging from years to decades. Internal variability occurs without human influence and can superimpose onto the anthropogenically forced climate change signal, thus adding uncertainty in the assessment of local climate change impacts. Northern communities […]

Millions of people post information on social media sites about their interests, preferences, opinions etc. on a daily basis. LeadSift mines this data stream in real-time to generate incredibly accurate and targeted sales leads. Given the short text and ambiguity around a social post, it gets very difficult to accurately identify intent. This project will […]

This project aims to innovate a Made-in-Canada methodology for producing non-isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) to replace traditional polyurethane (PU) rigid foam which is produced through a hazardous process from toxic materials such as isocyanates and phosgene.1 We aim to partner with Polychem Consulting Solutions Ltd, a privately held Canadian company based in Vancouver, BC and a […]

Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (ERC) is a process by which carbon dioxide (CO2) is converted into valuable chemical products via chemical reactions driven by electricity. The goal of this project is to fabricate and test catalytic metal electrodes to increase the efficiency of ERC reactors converting carbon dioxide from industrial exhaust gas streams into […]
