The aim of the project is to investigate how organizational learning and periormance can be enhanced, diminished, or not affected at all th rough use of environmental and other management systems standards and related software. The survey research method (questionnaires) will be used for data collection followed by statistical analysis of the data in order […]

Throughout much of North America moose populations are in decline and Manitoba is no exception. This project will determine what factors promoting occupancy and abundance at local and regional scales in Manitoba; and subsequently identify the most efficient way to monitor moose populations in relation to local and regional factors, such as hydroelectric power transmission […]

Deep neural networks are a valuable machine learning method that is at the heart of many technological innovations. From self-driving cars to automatic translations and image recognition, etc. it seems that deep neural networks are a great tool that can adapt to different problematics. However, defining the right network for the right application is a […]

The field of nuclear medicine relies on positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scanners to visualize molecular processes in normal and disease states in the living human. These imaging technologies have significant potential to enhance our ability to diagnose disease, develop appropriate disease-modifying treatments and for non-invasive monitoring of these […]

Les PME sont des acteurs essentiels pour répondre aux défis que posent les enjeux climatiques qui nous confrontent. Elles représentent 99% des entreprises au Québec et génèrent des effets négatifs importants sur l’environnement. C’est pourtant le segment de marché le moins connu en matière de culture et de pratiques énergétiques. C’est donc dans l’intérêt commun […]

Water loss through background leakage in water distribution systems is increasingly plaguing municipalities. As the cost of energy to treat and transport water steadily rises, and the scarcity of fresh water in communities becomes more prominent, action to replace deteriorating water infrastructure is critical. The proposed research aims at providing water utilities a cost-efficient method […]

Fortement controversée, la chasse aux phoques est une question ancienne mais toujours épidermique dans les pays concernés et au-delà. À la controverse scientifique et morale se sont imbriqués des enjeux polysémiques. Historiquement inscrite dans les pratiques aux îles de la Madeleine, la chasse aux phoques apparaît pour certains comme une solution environnementale et économique, notamment […]

Évaluer la valeur d’un véhicule usagé n’est pas chose facile. Présentement, c’est surtout le livre noir (Black Book) qui est utilisé, et la valeur estimée à partir de cette ressource n’est pas très précise puisqu’elle ne tient compte que de quelques caractéristiques du véhicule. Notre projet propose d’intégrer dans un logiciel un algorithme permettant d’évaluer […]

Storing electrical charge has been one of the top demands for human being during his lifespan. Nowadays, energy storage systems are among the most concern around the globe. The ability to provide a special class of electric energy storage devices that can complement or replace batteries and harvesting applications when high power delivery or uptake […]

The interns will develop novel technologies using laser light to interrogate molecular vibrations in biological tissue setting up the stage for the next generation of intraoperative imaging techniques used to guide surgical interventions, including the resection of tumours in prostate and ovarian surgery as well as in neurosurgery. The partner organisation (Optech) is an organisation […]

Récemment, il a été démontré lors d’une collaboration entre le groupe Claverie et Hydro-Québec que les membranes à base de carbone graphitique pouvaient être utilisées comme des interrupteurs pour le passage du lithium de l’anode à la cathode. Le présent projet est une exploration plus générale de ce travail préliminaire, pour diverses configurations de systèmes […]

Sustainable health, which includes good physical, mental and social well-being, is affected by many factors. Some studies have shown that consuming dairy products such as yogurt and fruits and vegetables help control body weight in both adults and children. However, factors such as the environment (e.g. dietary, lifestyle, emotional and social factors) may play a […]
