Chemicals manufactured and used in society degrade through physical and biological processes (e.g., photolysis, biotransformation) into break-down products (e.g., metabolites). Most “parent” chemicals can breakdown relatively quickly so that they are not persistent or bioaccumulative; however, some metabolites formed during the degradation processes can persist in the environment thus requiring consideration for ecological and human […]

L’effet des changements climatiques devrait être particulièrement important dans les forêts du sud du Québec car elles se situent à la fois à la limite sud de la forêt boréale et à la limite nord de la forêt feuillue tempérée. Les scénarios climatiques projettent un allongement de la saison de croissance ainsi qu’un réchauffement de […]

Modern molecularly targeted therapies have shown promise in treating some blood cancers, but a cure remains elusive for most acute blood cancer patients. This is largely due to the survival of some blood cancer cells that possess unique properties and can cause treatment failure or relapse, highlighting the need for new therapies. In collaboration with […]

In 2017 the Newfoundland and Labrador Medical Association released a report1 calling for a comprehensive review of medical facilities in Newfoundland and Labrador (NL), Canada’s easternmost province.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) (2015) report calls for the integration of Indigenous knowledge and teaching methods into educational curriculum. Critical to decolonizing education is reinserting people into relationships with the land as a mode of education, referred to as ‘land-based learning’. This proposed research project will establish best practices for the establishment of […]

La planification des opérations de maintenance est une tâche compliquée car elle est difficilement prévisible. La détermination des points bloquants dans la production permettra de mieux les éliminer et ainsi de réduire le temps de réparation des turbines. Pour cela, le stagiaire cherchera dans un premier temps à trouver le meilleur logiciel pour faire cette […]

Goal Management Training® (GMT) is a Baycrest cognitive intervention that has been studied extensively, applied clinically, and manualized into kits for clinicians that have been commercially available since 2012. GMT targets executive functions, a collection of higher-level abilities involved in planning, organization, strategy, and inhibition. Executive impairment can be seen in normal aging as well […]

The goal of the project is to evaluate and refine an app-based questionnaire that provides a multi-faceted assessment of the social dynamics and culture of teams and organizations. This partnership and multi-phase project with VictoryLab involves (a) systematically examining and refining their questionnaire items to ensure their app-based assessment tool provides valid and reliable insights […]

This Mitacs project will enable two MSc students the opportunity to work with the Offshore Energy Research Association and their partners with the Nova Scotia Department of Energy to produce an ArcGIS product and seismic-based model of seep architecture for petroleum exploration of the offshore Nova Scotia margin. These projects will relate newly created genomic […]

Pascal Biosciences Inc. is a company developing immuno-oncology therapeutics to fight cancer. It was initially founded on ideas and research that originated from Dr. Wilf Jefferies’ laboratory at the University of British Columbia. Since then, the company has continued to collaborate with Dr. Jefferies and his team to forward the research, through direct sponsorship and […]

Fondée en 2015, Solutions Anagraph Inc. est une entreprise qui cherche à développer une plateforme d’intelligence géographique Web. Les systèmes d’informations géographiques actuels rencontrent des limites quant à l’utilisation de la modélisation statistique spatiale, celle-ci étant soit, dispendieuse, ou la méthodologie d’application restant nébuleuse. L’objectif du stage est donc de développer des méthodologies claires de […]
