The multi-spectral camera has 6 bands: one in the red band, one in the blue band, one in the green band, and three in the NIR regions. The scope of this project is […]

As the complexity of the modern simulation problems increase, the simulation efforts have been growing constantly. Taking advantage of the current multi-core chip to fully utilizing the modern processors available in the market, the development of computational simulators that are scalable and portable between current hardware have become a real challenge. As a result of […]

“L’agriculture québécoise se retrouve actuellement confrontée à la problématique des pesticides synthétiques d’origine fossile. Les effets indésirables sur l’environnement ainsi que sur la santé humaine, provoqués par l’emploi intensif de ces produits, amènent le monde agricole à chercher des alternatives plus écologiques pour protéger leurs récoltes contre les insectes ravageurs et les maladies. À ce […]

Le cancer du sein touche une femme sur 9 au cours de sa vie en Amérique du Nord. Il s’agit d’une maladie hétérogène et il est important d’adapter les traitements au profil biologique de la tumeur. Le but de ce projet est de développer une méthode d’analyse d’échantillons de tumeurs mammaires basée sur 300 marqueurs […]

The share of Renewable Energy (RE) resources in overall power generation has grown over the years. Since these RE resources are located at places which are away (off-shore, desert) from the load centres, efficient and reliable power transmission to load centres is extremely important. High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission has evolved as the preferred […]

The Resident Assessment Instrument Minimum Data Set (RAI-MDS) is used by health authorities for collecting information about individuals in continuing care facilities. Collected quarterly, RAI-MDS records contain more than 500 data elements, including cognition, psychosocial well-being, health conditions, communication, physical function, and activity patterns. Because of this it has great potential for providing an incomparable […]

Annual snowpack data is typically summarized at a regional scale and used to make forecasts for spring melt conditions and flooding. However the spatial pattern of snow, its accumulation and melting across the land base, also directly influences the movement and habitat selection for many wildlife species which in turn impacts forest harvesting and resource […]

Depression is a disabling condition affecting millions of people. Some of the symptoms of depression make it impossible for people to function in their daily lives. People experience significant levels of memory, thinking, planning and other cognitive symptoms that impair their abilities to go to work, school and take care of themselves and family. What […]

Le projet comprend trois étapes. Dans un premier temps il y aura acquisition d’un maximum de bases de données sur différentes récoltes où il y a eu application d’azote. Pour ce faire, nous contacterons par courriel les différents laboratoires de recherche ou chercher dans la littérature. Ensuite, nous ferons la restructuration de toutes ces bases […]

The number of children being driven to school has substantially increased over the past few decades—fewer children are walking or bicycling to school. There is good evidence to suggest that programs promoting walking or cycling to school may increase physical activity in children’s lives. With limited funds available, it is important to document the effectiveness […]

This project will be with All Natural Products Inc. (ANPI), who is a Canadian company focused on essential oil extract from natural herbal resources in Bolton, Ontario. These essential oils have applications in the food, flavor, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries. ANPI have found that their current extraction methods do not provide a suitable yield of […]

This project will be with ANPI Canada Inc., a Canadian company focused on essential oil extract from softwood in Bolton, Ontario. Presently, ANPI uses various extraction techniques for isolation of essential oils particularly cedar oil from cedar leaves, branches, and mulch. These essential oils have applications in the food, flavor, fragrances, and pharmaceutical industries. ANPI […]
