Synergie Santé Environnement souhaite développer un service d’accompagnement en santé environnementale et développement durable adapté à la réalité des établissements de santé privés (CHSLD, cliniques de chirurgie, cliniques médicales variées) sur la base de sa grande expérience dans les établissements publics. Dans ce contexte, notre projet vise à dresser des portraits spécifiques de la santé […]

Human land use is leading to the decline of many species, such as Canada’s Threatened boreal woodland caribou. Habitat alteration as a result of human land use has degraded predator-prey dynamics, leading to unsustainable predation of caribou. Given the link between caribou declines and habitat alteration, habitat management –protection and restoration – is a critical […]

Gene editing with RNA-guided nucleases based on the CRISPR bacterial defence system (clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats) has revolutionized both basic science and therapeutic applications. However, CRISPR associated (Cas) nucleases are not optimized for all types of gene-editing applications. In particular, the double-strand breaks made in DNA by the Cas proteins are imperfectly repaired by […]

On this project, the use of tethered remotely piloted aircraft systems to protect stone fruit orchards will be explored. The intern sill design and evaluate the performance of such aircraft systems and conduct both ground and in-flight testing of the system. BAAZ UAV will benefit from this technology and the potential deployment to support Canadian […]

Un des gros défis des entreprises culturelles et artistiques est celui de la connaissance de leur public. Cette connaissance est le principal fondement pour la mise en place d’actions marketing pertinentes (Colbert & Dantas, 2019). Certes, les informations fournies par les systèmes de billetterie sont utiles pour la prise de décision. Cependant, ces informations ne […]

Chemotherapy agents can induce the degradation of a molecule in tumour cells called RNA. We call this phenomenon “RNA disruption”. High tumour RNA disruption after about 1 month of chemotherapy predicts for complete tumour destruction and improved cancer patient survival. We and Rna Diagnostics, Inc. are using this knowledge to predict patient outcome from chemotherapy. […]

Immunoglobulin (Ig) is a blood product that is used for people who either lack IgG antibodies or require immunomodulatory therapy for life-threatening autoimmune conditions. The use of Ig products continues to increase each year, at an average rate of 8%. The COVID-19 pandemic has introduced additional stress on the Ig supply due to a reduction […]

Electro Carbon aims at developing a compact prototype that electro-reduces CO2 captured from combustion into formic acid. Formic acid is the building material for chemicals, used as hydrogen carrier for direct formic acid fuel cells and/or converted to commodity chemicals. 1 L of liquid formic acid contains the equivalent of 590 L of hydrogen. In […]

Integrating augmented reality (AR) technology with decommissioning workflows will open new avenues to remotely visualize and interact with Building Information Models (BIMs), enabling safe and cost-effective decommissioning processes of nuclear power plant (NPP) structures. Research is proposed here to advance new NPP decommissioning workflows through novel sensing, computing, and artificial intelligence (AI) methods within the […]

The proposed project aims to determine the mechanical behavior of new commercial iron-based alloys, M789 and Corrax stainless steels, designed for additive manufacturing. The additively manufactured steel samples, known to possess an excellent combination of tensile strength and corrosion resistance, will be supplied by voestalpine Additive Manufacturing Center. After extensive high-temperature experiments (using Gleeble and […]

Les milieux naturels urbains sont d’importants acteurs à la préservation de la biodiversité en ville et à l’augmentation de la qualité de vie des résidents. Par les nombreux services qu’ils procurent à la population, ils contribuent à réduire de nombreux coûts du secteur publique, dont ceux des soins de santé par exemple. Toutefois, l’environnement urbain […]

In an effort to build public trust, the Government of Canada has made a commitment to move toward an Open Government, where government data will be easily accessible and shared broadly. For the public to benefit from Open Government sources, they will need tools that will allow them to analyze and interpret the data accurately. […]
