La saisonnalité représente un des enjeux majeurs du tourisme hivernal. La transition entre l’automne et l’hiver et entre l’hiver et le printemps représente, pour plusieurs acteurs de l’industrie touristique de la région de Charlevoix, une problématique importante au niveau social et économique, et qui mérite d’être approfondie et étudiée. Ce faisant cette recherche permettra de […]

Development of a field-ready and commercially useful fuselage and cargo bay for a long-range unmanned aerial vehicle, including analysis of use of composite materials and resulting performance implications.

The Wind Energy Institute of Canada has installed a large-scale wind power and energy storage systems. The institute’s goal is to investigate the wind integration techniques and to increase understanding of the industry for energy storage systems. The objective of this project is to demonstrate and evaluate the capability of energy storage system for shifting […]

Every time it rains, there is a portion of water that doesn’t get absorbed by plants and soils. That water is known as run-off, and it requires management since it can create high energy flows and pick up harmful chemicals (e.g. fertilizers, pesticides, gasoline, tire wear) off the streets, driveways, and other hard surfaces as […]

We are developing a new generation of devices for continuous chemical and nano-particle purification, based on the interactions of analyte with multiple types of driving forces in an electro-fluid-dynamic system. The two-dimensional electrofluid-dynamic (2-D EFD) devices, in which both electric field and hydrodynamic pressure are simultaneously utilized in 2-D channel networks to drive the mass […]

This project seeks to design and implement an online web-based application system for IIBC that will enable people to easily apply for Work permit, Study permit, Permanent Residence, etc. This will provide real-time access to data, making visa application easy for people from all countries to migrate to Canada. With this web application system in […]

Tidal energy turbines are a new renewable energy technology that will be demonstrated at the FORCE test site in the Bay of Fundy. The potential negative effects of these turbines on fish are of high concern to industry, regulators, fishers, and other stakeholders. This research will use sonars attached to sensor platforms deployed on the […]

L’entreprise Métix a lancé début 2016 le produit B-CITI dont la mission est de simplifier la relation numérique entre les citoyens et leur ville, en leur mettant à disposition un ensemble de services transactionnels, informationnels et interactifs leur permettant d’accéder aux services de la ville en tout temps. En tant que mandataire des villes, B-CITI […]

Le diabète de type II est une maladie complexe qui se caractérise par une hausse de glucose dans le sang causée par un débalancement de certaines protéines. Il est possible de mesurer simultanément la concentration de ces protéines par des approches, dites « multiplex ». Par contre, la présence de réactions croisées dans ces essais […]

Prostate cancer will affect 1 in 7 Canadian males. While the number of therapeutic options is increasing, matching each patient to the right therapy remains as the challenge for a personalized approach to patient management. Currently, most of the attention has focused on identifying biological tags that can predict patients response. We have developed an […]

Prostate cancer is the disease of the old, effecting 1 in 7 Canadians with a death burden of 1 in 28. The management of the disease becomes extremely difficult with the development of the nonresponsive and aggressive form of the cancer. Thus, the clinicians are rendered helpless and hence there is an urgent need for […]

Depuis le protocole de Kyoto (1997) et la COP21 de Paris (2016), l’émission de gaz à effet de serre (GES) est devenue une préoccupation mondiale. Intrinsèquement liés à la croissance économique, les GES sont directement responsables du changement climatique. La solution proposée dans ce projet est de parvenir à séquestrer le CO2 émis par les […]
