CO2 management have been an important research theme to minimize the GHG impact on Canadian environment. Enhanced oil recovery by injecting CO2 underground is a very efficient way to minimize the CO2 environmental effect. Meanwhile, after primary and secondary production, either CHOP or CHOPS well present a high water cut in the produced liquid stream. […]

Unlike traditional industrial robots, collaborative robots are meant to be used alongside workers. They can also be taught their task by the workers themselves instead of robotic engineers. This means that these robot have to be inherently safe and be able to properly perceive their environments when performing tasks such as picking parts from a […]

Schneider Electric (SE) is developing their EcoStruxure Building Operations (EBO) system as a next generation Building Management System (BMS) that will combine data collected from the building into a Smart Digital Model (“Digital Twin”) that will be able to answer building users’ questions. This project will develop the tools necessary to develop such a Digital […]

Utilisé par un grand nombre de professionnels (pharmaciens, médecins, infirmières, etc.), le logiciel Rx Vigilance est un outil indispensable à la prise de décision dans le domaine de la santé. Ce logiciel contient toutes les informations nécessaires à la pratique pharmaceutique : calculateur pharmacologique, base de données pour les monographies de produit, un moteur d’analyse […]

Although rare, industrial facilities can suffer from minor to catastrophic failures, commonly referred to as loss of primary containment (LOPC), which can result in the release of hazardous gases and/or liquids. In order to protect the safety of the public, companies must provide a means of mitigating the potential damage to people and the environment. […]

La recherche proposée vise le développement d’outils de contrôle qualité des peaux reconstruites par génie tissulaire en déterminant leur fonctionnalité, leur structure et leurs propriétés mécaniques. Trois techniques seront investiguées, mesure de la résistance mécanique lors du détachement des couches derme/épiderme, la tomographie optique cohérente et l’imagerie thermodynamique active. Ces techniques de mesures permettront d’accélérer […]

When storing and retrieving large quantities of aerial surveillance video to be used as evidence, it must be possible to validate video as authentic without relying on secret knowledge. Part of the solution to this problem involves a novel combination of cryptography techniques used in blockchains and elsewhere together with computer filesystems, allowing data to […]

Available drugs to treat schizophrenia are partially effective in controlling symptoms and have significant side-effect Iiabiltv. We want to explore the potential of PDE1 OA inhibitors as effective and safe antipsychotic drugs using preclinical models established in academic supervisor’s laboratory. The compounds will be provided by Paraza Pharma, who will be better informed about the […]

Glioblastoma (GBM), the most common and deadly form of primary brain cancer in adults. After diagnosis, GBM patients undergo standard therapy, including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Unfortunately, disease relapse is inevitable and patients face a median survival of less than 15 months. A small population of tumor cells, known as brain tumor initiating cells […]

RNA interference mediated gene silencing provides one of the most effective treatments for many genetic diseases such as cancer and viral infection. However, due to the many difficulties siRNAs would face during systemic pathway, a delivery system is needed to protect it from degradation and endosomal entrapment, and also to facilitate the unloading of the […]

When faced with difficult issues such as climate change, some organizations decide to disclose information on relevant risks, opportunities, and strategies. The language used in these disclosures can theoretically reflect how managers process information in complex and uncertain environments, and by extension, their abilities in creating value for the firm. This research collaboration examines linkages […]

The bond between adhered manufactured stone masonry veneer units and the setting bed mortar will be studied. It will involve testing shear, and tensile bond on small samples. Samples will consist of 2 types of adhered manufactured stones; two types of setting bed mortar (Type S, and modified dry-set cement mortar); and two types of […]
