Au Canada, les résidus forestiers constituent une biomasse renouvelable, pratiquement non utilisée et abondante, qui peut être transformée en biocarburants. La valorisation de cette ressource permettrait ainsi de diminuer les émissions de gaz à effet de serre et notre dépendance aux énergies fossiles, particulièrement dans le secteur des transports. L’établissement en Haute-Mauricie d’une bioraffinerie industrielle […]

Red blood cells are stored in blood collection centres for blood transfusion; however, some of red blood cells are discarded due to the poor quality after storage for a period of time because the poor quality of the red blood cells will cause health problems in individuals after transfusion. In this project, we are going […]

Rapid identification of bacteria in blood is important for the early identification of infection and emergence of resistance to therapy. There is no wishful, fast and simple, technological solution for this quest. Some of infections are life-threatening and requires fast and focused drug treatment as soon as possible. The present approach is to use empirical […]

Etalim is a Canadian high technology company developing a breakthrough heat engine generating electricity from any fuel or heat source. The Etalim TAC (Thermal Acoustic Converter) is a unique technology that converts any high temperature gradient to electricity, with high efficiency (20%-30%) and simplicity. The TAC represents a unique class of device that combines principles […]

A new revolution in life science research is ongoing since the discovery of the CRISPR/Cas system. With this technology is now possible to specifically and efficiently manipulate the genome of cultured cells, embryos and animals. The technology has many applications in agriculture including the dairy genetic industry to generate the next generation of elite animals […]

Chronic rhinosinusitis is a common condition in which the cavities in the nasal channel become inflamed and swollen. This condition interferes with drainage and causes mucus to build up. Delivery of the positively charged proteins containing short chains locally to the nasal area can be used for the treatment of this problem. This proposal suggests […]

When an individual enters a company, the interaction between the company and individual is expected to increase. If it does not increase to an appropriate extent, the individual leaves the company based on his/her past experience. To avoid huge losses and widespread consequences, a company has no alternative but to decrease its employee turnover rate […]

Meto est une plateforme d’intelligence distribuée qui exploite le plein potentiel du Cloud et des processus collaboratifs entre agents humains dans le but d’améliorer la prise de décision dans des situations minées par le risque et l’incertitude. Pour ce faire, il est nécessaire de mettre à la disposition des décideurs un ensemble pertinent d’information obtenu […]

In an alien or possibly hostile environment, the situation awareness of a remote robot operator will be limited. Map information may not be known beforehand. The site may also be in a dynamic state where changes occur in the surrounding in any moment. The main objective of this project is to develop novel technologies to […]

This is a research and development (R&D) project. The primary objective is to develop a Smart Learning and Course Management System with a pilot demonstration of an entrepreneurship development course. The target audience for the course is students interested in learning the fundamentals of running a startup company. The secondary objective is to document and […]

Traditional research microscopy tools are entirely adequate for conventional static analysis, however, the evaluation of more complex dynamic cellular processes require unconventional methods of acquiring, displaying, and rendering dynamic data. Autophagy occurs when some of a cell’s cytoplasm, referred as cargo, is enclosed by a membrane to form an autophagosome in order to be degraded […]
