Transformation et bonification d’un modèle intersectoriel de retombées économiques

Comprendre les mécanismes et apprécier les effets quantifiables qui s’opèrent dans une économie donnée lorsqu’un agent économique investit dans des immobilisations et crée de l’emploi constitue l’un des principaux objectifs de la conceptualisation du modèle intersectoriel de l’Institut de la Statistique du Québec. L’ensemble des juridictions se dotent de modèles capables de fournir un panorama […]

Thermo-responsive polymeric system for anti-inflammatory hydrophobic drug elution

Diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis have been widely impacted by the pathogenesis of inflammation. After traditional therapy, most of the time dying cells stimulate inflammatory effects which results the reduction of therapeutic effect and enhances the drug resistance. That is why treatment often requires frequent or continuous high-dosage administration of […]

A probabilistic quantitative structure-activity relationship model for predicting synergism of mixtures of compounds in treating cancers

Combination therapy has been one of the cornerstones for combating cancers. Even though the survival rate of cancer patients after receiving combination therapy is improved dramatically, there are still many unsolved issues to prevent us from claiming combination therapy is a cure for cancers. Those issues include it does not apply to all types of […]

Investigation into multi-terminal and multi-infeed option for Western Canada Grid with renewable sources

Presently the electrical grids of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are operated with limited energy exchange between them. Connecting the three provinces together with a “Western Canada Grid (WCG)” could yield significant advantages. Connection with HVDC transmission is attractive due to its control flexibility and stability. This project will investigate optimum converter types and control methods […]

Cyclic CO2-Based Solvent Injection in Post-CHOPS Reservoirs with Complex Wormhole Systems; From Reservoir-On-The-Chip to Field Scale Optimization: An Attempt Towards the Net-Zero Approach

The primary objective of this project is to provide Canadian petroleum companies with a set of reliable data derived from experiments conducted on reservoir-on-the-chip platforms that facilitate the visualization of pore-scale interactions between solvent and heavy oil during the CO2-based CSI process in the presence of complex wormhole systems in post-CHOPS reservoirs. The reservoir-on-the-chip is […]

Manufacturing and Assessment of High-Performance Bicycle Frames

High performance bicycle frames are commonly manufactured using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). CFRP bicycle frames are commonly manufactured using a hand-layup process. Due to the manual nature of this manufacture method, defects such as voids, fiber misalignment, or resin rich/resin poor regions can occur. Micro-computed tomography is an X-ray based measurement method that is […]
