Pacific salmon play an important economic, ecological, and cultural role throughout their range. However, declining salmon populations have diminished this role in many regions. The factors responsible for declines are poorly understood but are of great interest, particularly for First Nations, who have a large role in salmon management. To inform management and conservation, I […]

Cells in our body secrete round structures lined by cell membrane under normal as well as stressful conditions. These “structures” or “micro vesicles” are termed as exosomes. They contain information from parent cells that can be transferred to other cells, thereby acting as cell-to-cell communication units. In this study I aim to identify the presence […]

Lorsqu’une entreprise fait l’acquisition d’un CRM, elle doit s’assurer que les utilisateurs en font une utilisation adéquate, sans quoi l’achat ne rapportera pas les bénéfices escomptés. Encore aujourd’hui, on remarque que plusieurs organisations n’utilisent pas leur CRM à son plein potentiel. L’objectif de cette étude est donc de comprendre comment assurer une meilleure utilisation d’un […]

Envenio is a Canadian company that specializes in advanced analysis of fluid dynamics and fluid structure interaction in the technological and environment settings. Envenio is also a software development company that owns an advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics solver, EXN/Aero, that uses many core technology in the parallel computation of unsteady and fully turbulent flows. Envenio […]

Neuropsychiatric disorders, including depression and anxiety, represent prevalent and disabling medical conditions affecting society. Despite the urgent need for novel pharmacotherapeutics to treat these conditions, there are few new drugs in development by the pharmaceutical industry. Cannabis has been used by humans for thousands of years to self-medicate a range of different neuropsychiatric symptoms, although […]

Cryogenic engines, such as the Dearman engine, produce work and substantial cooling with zero emissions at the point of use, due to their liquid nitrogen ‘fuel’ supply. Background work has shown that technically, (power, turn down ratio, responsiveness, torque), there are few identifiable factors that would prevent this type of engine from being very effective […]

This research aims at improving the accuracy of a 3D-vision tracking system. The physical set-up consists of a tool to be tracked, such as a drill, with one or more planar patterns attached to it and a set of cameras. This set consists of one to four camera clusters, where each cluster has one or […]

Au Canada, les résidus forestiers constituent une biomasse renouvelable, pratiquement non utilisée et abondante, qui peut être transformée en biocarburants. La valorisation de cette ressource permettrait ainsi de diminuer les émissions de gaz à effet de serre et notre dépendance aux énergies fossiles, particulièrement dans le secteur des transports. L’établissement en Haute-Mauricie d’une bioraffinerie industrielle […]

Red blood cells are stored in blood collection centres for blood transfusion; however, some of red blood cells are discarded due to the poor quality after storage for a period of time because the poor quality of the red blood cells will cause health problems in individuals after transfusion. In this project, we are going […]

Rapid identification of bacteria in blood is important for the early identification of infection and emergence of resistance to therapy. There is no wishful, fast and simple, technological solution for this quest. Some of infections are life-threatening and requires fast and focused drug treatment as soon as possible. The present approach is to use empirical […]

Etalim is a Canadian high technology company developing a breakthrough heat engine generating electricity from any fuel or heat source. The Etalim TAC (Thermal Acoustic Converter) is a unique technology that converts any high temperature gradient to electricity, with high efficiency (20%-30%) and simplicity. The TAC represents a unique class of device that combines principles […]
