Au Canada, les résidus forestiers constituent une source de biomasse abondante et renouvelable, considérée comme un substitut des combustibles fossiles pour la production des biocarburants. La valorisation de cette biomasse permettra la réduction de l’émission de gaz à effet de serre, et la dépendance aux énergies fossiles. L’installation d’une bioraffinerie industrielle de production du diesel […]

L’installation d’une bioraffinerie industrielle de production du diesel à partir des résidues forestiers en Haute-Mauricie est envisagée par l’OBNL Bioénergie LaTuque, qui a pour mission de promouvoir le développement des bioénergies dans cette région. Le projet de recherche vise l’analyse des aspects environnementaux et sociaux de l’approvisionnement en biomasse forestière pour alimenter cette bioraffinerie. Ce […]

Une bonne compréhension de la biologie derrière le développement du diabète de type II est indispensable à son traitement. Malheureusement, c’est une maladie complexe dans laquelle de multiples protéines sont impliquées dans le maintien du taux de sucre dans le sang, débalancé lors du diabète. Il existe différentes approches, dites « multiplex », pour mesurer […]

Canada’s coastal regions are an excellent source of marine renewable energy. These regions are also popular with marine mammals, providing good feeding opportunities. However little is known about how marine mammals will be affected by tidal energy developments. Concerns include the impacts of sound on animals’ ability to find food and navigate, the indirect effects […]

Enhancing the current and power density in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) is one of the main challenges to their large-scale commercialization and hence in tune with the pending needs of the PEMFC industry. The volumetric power density in PEMFC stacks is strongly affected by the flow field plates due to their critical impact […]

Surgical adhesions can form after many kinds of surgery, and affect millions of patients every year, hindering healing and causing pain and infertility. ARC Medical Devices has shown that treating a surgical site with fucoidan, a polysaccharide extracted from some types of seaweed, greatly reduces surgical adhesions in animals, but a source of pure fucoidan […]

This research will investigate Wide Area Measurement based controllers for improving stability in systems with HVDC and FACTS devices embedded in AC networks. The approach will extend the candidate’s Ph.D. research which introduced a new method that is always able to guarantee improved damping of all modes in the face wide changes in the network. […]

The planned research aims to validate food allergen and gluten testing tools, and their incorporation in novel quality-management systems used in food production. It will leverage existing methodologies developed by r-Biopharm Canada (r-BPC), over the past decade through its parent company. Beyond a contribution to the validation and enhanced application of these methods on various […]

We propose a novel approach that will provide researchers with an improved method to study multiple molecules, simultaneously in the same tissue section. Our strategy is to use novel nanoparticles that each emit unique multispectral signature and can be used simultaneously. We aim to develop a novel method to detect 15 breast cancer and immunotherapy-related […]
