Heart disease is the main reason of death worldwide. One way to understand better and detect heart diseases without need for biopsy via surgery is by using medical imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cardiac magnetic resonance is a specific kind of MRI which allows great visualization of inner parts of the heart and […]

Three in five persons with dementia will wander. This statistic however was derived from the USA, and it is unknown as to how this number was generated and what it specifically entails. The collection of Canadian-based data involving missing persons with dementia in Canada is limited. Secours.io’s initiative of collecting missing persons data generated from […]

Prenant acte des limites des mécanismes actuels de soutien à l’agriculture dans les régions en voie de dévitalisation, notamment celles de l’Est-du-Québec, la recherche vise à contribuer à la définition d’un cadre d’intervention destiné à soutenir le redéploiement du domaine agricole dans ces milieux. La recherche poursuivra, en la bonifiant, l’orientation prise dans les travaux […]

Le but du projet est de développer un prototype de simulation d’un patient virtuel permettant aux étudiantes infirmières de pratiquer des séquences d’action difficilement reproductibles dans la vraie vie. Différentes recherches seront réalisées en lien avec le développement de cet outil et son utilisation pour la formation des infirmières. Dans ce stage, le stagiaire travaillera […]

The project is dedicated to developing new models and understanding for predicting marine ice accretion levels on small and medium sized sea vessels. These models are developed using engineering principles and will be used to predict ice loads, loss of vessel stability, and to assist in sizing heat tracing for critical vessel infrastructure. Additionally, we […]

Along with the development of Industry 4.0, the Oil and Gas Industry has employed Digital Twins as new way to lower cost, monitor assets, optimize maintenance, and minimize downtime by creating the connection between the physical world and the digital world. The digital oilfield collect enormous amounts of data from sensors, measuring devices, and other […]

Dental caries affects the majority of the world’s population and causes tooth decay and loss. Bacteria in the mouth cause this disease. Sugar consumption plays a role in causing these bacteria to make acid that results in dental caries. Studies have shown that a type of sugar alcohol, called xylitol, can help prevent this disease. […]

This project investigates a new perspective on the intersections of architectural form generation, sustainability, building performance simulation and computation, and is meant to research an energy performance-driven building space organization method in the preliminary design phase. It will enquiry clear design questions, and present results using a visualization method that addresses the problem for both […]

The net 5-year survival rate for patients suffering from liver cancer is less then 20 percent and the number of cases is rapidly increasing in Canada. Unfortunately, currently available oral chemotherapies can only extend median survival by 3 – 4 months making the development of new and effective drug treatments critical. The proposed study aims […]

Pela, incorporated under Open Mind Development Corporation (OMDC), manufactures environmentally sustainable products, such as compostable smartphone and laptop cases. Pela aims to lead the industry in taking complete responsibility for its manufactured products and continuously improve their lifecycle so that they have the most renewable and sustainable beginning of life, and the most graceful end […]

The Centre for the Commercialization of Antibodies and Biologics (CCAB) is working with Empirica Therapeutics (Empirica), a Canadian start-up company focused on developing data-driven treatments for cancer, to address the unmet medical needs of glioblastoma (GBM), the most common adult malignant primary brain tumor. Current therapies are only partly effective, with frequent relapse and poor […]

Au Québec, les fermes marines ayant un intérêt pour l’algoculture sont situées aux Îles-de-la-Madeleine, en Basse-Côte-Nord et en Gaspésie, sur des sites dont les caractéristiques sont très différentes. À cet effet, une entreprise maricole de la Gaspésie, Ferme Marine du Québec, produit commercialement des plantules sur cordes et vend des collecteurs d’algues à des aquaculteurs […]
