The interns will help the GTAA to create 3-dimensional Building Information Models (BIM) […]

Brain cancers represent one of the most aggressive tumors that are especially challenging to treat through drugs, partially due to the inherent protection by the blood-brain barrier. Therefore, developing drugs that have specific chemical properties that allow them to cross the blood-brain-barrier, while simultaneously retaining their drug-like features is a heavily sought-after approach in treating […]

To determine the infrastructure and their equipment needs throughout the life of a mine, mining companies solves a long-term planning problem that aims at determining the mining sequences that will maximize the net present value of profits while taking into account operational constraints. These problems are very difficult to solve because of their huge size. […]

Pea and lentil are among the most widely grown pulse crops in Canada with great economic, nutrition, soil fertility, and environmental benefits. Aphanomyces is a disease that attacks pulse crops and leads to a yield lose of up to 50%. Currently, there are no reliable solutions to control the disease and stop the spread. We […]

La demande globale en protéines animales devrait doubler d’ici 2050. Suite à la parution d’un rapport de la FAO (2013) vantant les mérites écologiques et nutritionnels des insectes comestibles par rapport aux viandes conventionnelles, les élevages de ténébrions meuniers, destinés tant à l’alimentation humaine qu’animale, sont en forte expansion au Québec. Les élevages d’insectes sont […]

Humans ingest over 50,0000 microplastic-particles every year. The main contributor to microplastic contamination is synthetic-fiber. One lo laundry load can release an average of 700,000 microplastic fibers. Wastewater treatment plants cannot catch all these microfibers, so they end in the oceans. New regulations, which require washing machine manufactures to implement microfiber filtration system are going […]

Off the coast of British Columbia, Resident Killer Whales are considered at-risk and increasing evidence points to a lack of food (salmon) as one of their main threats. Resident Killer Whales have a complex social structure, where family groups are stable, matriarchal, and form associations with other family groups. The family groups or “matrilines” forage […]
