Neurodegenerative diseases represent one of the largest healthcare burdens in Canada. However, there is limited understanding of how the complex biological factors affect the development of neurodegenerative diseases, thus the era of precision medicine has not to come to treat them yet. Here, we take focus on bioenergetic disruption as a shared risk factor of […]

Cannabinoids are synthesized and accumulate in Cannabis plant hairs called glandular trichomes, which are particularly abundant on female flower buds. Cannabinoid content and composition vary dramatically among Cannabis strains, with two general groupings distinguished: marijuana strains, defined by high THC and low CBD levels, and hemp strains containing low THC and high CBD (or low […]

Thales développe le Hospital Optimizer, un outil pour gérer l’utilisation des salles d’opérations en les affectant à différentes équipes médicales. Cette allocation tient compte de la demande, des disponibilités médecins, de la disponibilité des salles et des types de chirurgies pouvant être effectuées dans chaque salle. Si la version courante du Hospital Optimizer prend bien […]

Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest gynaecological conditions in the developed world, as it is often detected late into progression. Efforts to improve surgical and chemotherapeutic approaches have only made marginal improvements to patient outcomes over the past 30 years, but there remains potential within immunotherapeutic approaches. Understanding the tumor microenvironment, and particularly the […]

The workplace is evolving at the frontier, people and machines work side by side. In factories and industries, the trend for the past two-hundred years has been to provide mechanical devices to assist in manual labour. The benefit for people is that workplaces are more equitable and accommodating to people with disabilities. The future will […]

Traditionnellement, la nuisance sonore a toujours été une problématique au coeur de l’aviation moderne avec l’avènement du turboréacteur. De plus, l’apparition de nouvelles technologies comme les drones ou les taxis volants urbains avec des hélices multiples ne fait qu’accentuer la part prépondérante du bruit généré par les machines tournantes dans les moyens de transport aériens. […]

Over the past 10 years, industry has drawn on different principles to support the creation of more inclusive and diverse workplaces. These principles include Equity, Diversity and Inclusion; Gender Based Analysis; decolonization; and safe spaces. In this research project, we will read what experts have written about these topics to find out what is most […]

The purpose of this research project is to explore the feasibility of developing a software as a service (SAAS) to facilitate the process of managing risk in the development of public infrastructure projects.

Canada depends on seasonal snowfalls for much of its freshwater supply, and climate change is expected to have a major impact on the quantity, and quality, of available freshwater. However, the models that scientists use to make future projections of water availability are not perfect, which creates uncertainty in the exact future scenario that will […]

The objective is to develop models that can identify types and frequency of process inefficiencies that may eventually result in the decline of production at the mills below a certain threshold level. The outcome of this project is an early detection of process inefficiencies that will enable the operation team to predict production outcomes ahead […]
