“Afin d’assurer la sécurité des transports, de nombreuses réglementations existent autour du temps de travail pour les chauffeurs de camion. Elles définissent en particulier des durées maximums de conduite, et des périodes minimums de pause et de repos. Ces réglementations, souvent complexes, varient d’un état et d’un pays à l’autre. Pour que la chaine logistique […]

The research project will investigate and analyze a range of existing site and building conditions that may require upgrading and/or conservation at the existing Leacock Museum, former home of Canadian humourist, Stephen Leacock. The site is a National Historic Site, located in Orillia, Ontario. Research will be focused on: barrier free accessibility; exterior cladding; exterior […]

The human pathogenic bacteria Salmonella enterica and Campylobacter jejuni are commonly found in the intestine of poultry. Consumption of infected chicken and eggs, and its derivatives, is the main and most important source of infection outbreaks in humans and causing diarrhoea, fevers and abdominal cramps. In some cases, severe diarrhea and dehydration followed by systemic […]

Prostate biopsies can be difficult to interpret using standard pathology techniques. Because cancer can be fatal, the development of technologies providing complementary information could improve current pathology practice resulting in improved patient outcome. Raman micro-spectroscopy is a molecular imaging technique using backscattered light following tissue laser excitation to indicate whether or not prostate samples contain […]

Colorectal cancer remains within the three most lethal cancers, largely due to the inevitable development of resistance to chemotherapy. Recent breakthroughs demonstrate that cancer immunotherapy can be highly effective in patients with skin cancer using T cells from the human immune system to fight off cancer. Our laboratory has found that T cells can recognize […]

Colorectal cancer, a leading cause of death worldwide, awaits new treatments due to high resistance of metastases toward chemotherapy. Similarly to infection, cancer cells can be recognized as foreign by T cells from the immune system because they express mutated proteins. Actually, T cells can be isolated from tumors, expanded in vitro and infused to […]

Le projet de recherche partenariale vise la réalisation d’une étude de l’écosystème de la créativité numérique montréalaise pour le Printemps numérique. Cette recherche permettra d’identifier les acteurs du milieu des arts, de l’industrie et de la recherche, de comprendre leurs dynamiques organisationnelles, de dégager les enjeux principaux de développement, et de cibler des partenariats. L’étude […]

“Much of life is online, so online security is critical. While many aspects of security are infrastructural, users must make key decisions. In particular, users must decide which websites to trust and which to avoid. How can users know if a website is truly what it claims to be? This is a pivotal issue. When […]

Users must decide which websites to trust and which to avoid. How can users know if a website is truly what it claims to be? This is a pivotal issue. When attackers can convince users to trust their sites, though phishing or other strategies, user security and privacy are easily compromised, malware can be downloaded, […]

In recent years monitoring and protection of food and water resources became a priority of governments worldwide. Bio-hazards are potential threat for these resources thus need to be addressed both in industry and in academia. Therefore, developing an accurate, fast and cost effective technique for detection of pathogenic strains called for increased demand on the […]
