Ce projet vise à développer et approfondir les connaissances et techniques nécessaires à la mise en oeuvre des algorithmes d’intelligence artificielle sur des données issues du monde réel. En partenariat avec de multiples acteurs industriels de la grande région de Québec, la Faculté de Science et Génie de l’université Laval, au travers de ses étudiants […]

Dog-strangling vine is one of the most invasive plants in eastern Canada. Previous attempts to control the spread of the vine have been unsuccessful. Recent research on this invader suggests that when it invades an area, it perturbs soil microbial communities. These perturbations appear to interfere with some native plants’ ability to grow. However, other […]

The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) jurisdiction is one of the most densely populated watersheds in Canada, where the urban area now accounts for close to half of the land cover in the region. The conversion of land from natural to urban area, such as roads, contributes to the loss and fragmentation of habitat, […]

Le marché énergétique est en transition. La demande et la consommation d’énergie dans le secteur résidentiel seront impactées par l’adoption de nouvelles technologies et l’évolution des comportements. Le projet de recherche vise le développement d’un modèle statistique générant des profils temporels individualisés de présence des individus à leur résidence en fonction des attributs des individus. […]

Pregnant women with a body mass index >=35 kg/m2 are at risk for pregnancy complications that can impact both the mom and growing baby. Previous research suggests that women with a high BMI may experience weight stigma during their prenatal care appointments and this may lead to low compliance with healthcare provider recommendations and reduce […]

Spotted Wing Drosophila is an aggressive invasive pest that is high research and management priority for the BC and Canadian berry and small fruit industry. Spotted Wing Drosophila can substantially reduce crop yields despite heavy uses of chemical insecticides, which in some cases can be harmful to the environment and human health. Botanical extracts from […]

Despite the improvements in cancer diagnostic and treatment, cancer is still a leading cause of death in Canada with 30% of all deaths. Some cancers, like pancreatic cancer (PC), still have poor survival rates due to the lack of early diagnosis and good prognostics markers. The Atlantic Cancer Research Institute (ACRI) has developed a proprietary […]

This project is a collaboration between Triptech Engineering and Software Services LTD and Laboratory for Alternative Energy Conversion (LAEC) at SFU to develop data analytics solutions for PEM fuel cell industry. The fuel cell industry is suffering from component/system failure and coping with analysis of tremendous amounts of data. Knowledge extraction from this complex data […]

This project will result in the expansion of an athlete-focused genetic test to include additional genetic markers and algorithms for the purpose of personalized caffeine advice for endurance and other forms of exercise (strength, power, anaerobic-power) through continued analysis of 23 caffeine-associated genes that affect an athlete’s response to caffeine (positive, negative or no effect). […]

The proposed project includes 2 objectives: (1) provision of high quality evidence on the effect of specific food sources of sugars on cardiometabolic risk factors by conducting multiple systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SRMAs), to address the effect of replacing sugar-sweetened beverages with either diet pop or water in a randomized controlled clinical trial, and to […]
