Les changements climatiques auront des effets marqués dans la forêt, une source importante de fibre pour l’industrie et un réservoir significatif de carbone. Dans sa partie nord, la forêt devient de plus en plus ouverte; on y observe une augmentation des superficies sans arbres. Ce projet vise à mieux comprendre les facteurs qui affectent la […]

Environmental modelling and monitoring software systems, which are very important in assessing the effects of climate change, require open data from a large number of sources including all levels of government, NGOs such as watershed management authorities, consultants and business. This data needs to be brought together into internal databases and to be kept up-to-date […]

Every year, people suffer the consequences natural disasters descend upon them. When these unfortunate events occur, emergency response teams are deployed and need to deal with a multitude of challenges. In this scenario, the communication infrastructure is a key element that can contribute to the success of the mission. Considering the case of a Drone-Aided […]

Every job at Ford Motor Company should have an associated document describing the physical demands (i.e., lifting, climbing, pushing, etc.) required in that job. This information is important to select job candidates with the right blend of capabilities to be able to safely meet these demands. Perhaps more importantly, this information also provides a benchmark […]

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), also known as glioblastoma and grade IV astrocytoma, is the most common and most aggressive cancer that begins within the brain. There is no clear way to prevent the disease. Typically treatment involves surgery after which chemotherapy and radiation therapy is used. The medication Temozolomide (TMZ) is frequently used as part of […]

Video surveillance networks are currently being deployed in a growing number of security checkpoints and retails stores. Genetec Inc. provides IP-based solutions for video surveillance, access control and license plate recognition, all integrated into their Security Center platform. Although video analytic techniques to search for people in a scene have become a key business priority, […]

The general objective is to identify the optimum location for eulachon spawning habitat. This is to be achieved in part from a survey of the Mamquam Blind Channel, an eulachon historic spawning area. Water quality, channel salinity, water temperature, turbidity, foreshore soil quality and channel bed quality will be examined over the course of the […]

Aéroplan est un programme de fidélité où les membres accumulent des milles de récompense à l’achat de produits chez les partenaires de la coalition (Air Canada, Star Alliance, Banque TD, Banque CIBC, Banque Amex, Esso, Home Hardware, Fairmount, Avis, Toyota, etc.). Les milles accumulés peuvent ensuite être échangés contre des récompenses (billets d’avion, certificat cadeau, […]

We are in the process of creating and growing a team of researchers expert in the field of machine learning and data-mining. Ultimately, our aim is to create solutions to eliminate the need to manually define personalization strategies.

Pouvoir mesurer la concentration de différentes protéines est important pour l’avancement des connaissances médicales. C’est malheureusement un travail qui demande souvent beaucoup de temps. Parallex BioAssays est une jeune entreprise montréalaise développant présentement un outil qui permettra de mesurer simultanément la concentration de plus de 100 protéines, sans compromettre l’exactitude des résultats. L’objectif visé au […]

The proposed internship aims to study how the performance and the reliability of mechanical energy storage systems influence their life-cycle cost (LCC), including the acquisition cost, the maintenance, and the energy costs. First, the effect of the variation of the design parameters on the performance and acquisition cost of the product will be assessed. Second, […]

Motivated by the urgent need for clean and sustainable source of energy we propose to develop structurally and chemically controllable fuel cell catalyst layers based on ultrafine nanocomposite carbon fibre catalyst support. Manufacturing parameters will be controlled and optimized to investigate the effect of microstructure on key performance factors. Ultimately, the knowledge gained from this […]
