Les protéines dans les farines et huiles de poissons représentent l’élément le plus dispendieux des moulées commerciales. Son remplacement par une protéine végétale provenant de macroalgues produites dans les eaux de rejets piscicoles diminuerait les coûts associés à la production aquacole tout en réduisant les impacts environnementaux. Les Ulves, comme Ulva lactuca, ont été largement […]

Procedural content (text and video) is abundant on the internet, and is regularly used in our daily lives, e.g., when we follow a cooking recipe to make a dish, or watch an instructional furniture assembly video. Automatically understanding such content allows for the development of various types of AI assistants, including those that can provide […]

Currently, call centres effort in this matter is largely reactive. Someone calls in, they are upset, and agents respond accordingly. However, this approach is not always most effective, especially with difficult customers. Therefore, knowing the customers current emotional state is very important for appropriate problem solving. Affective computing can be used to detect and evaluate […]

The transformation of renewable feedstocks such as carbon dioxide, is closely linked to homogenous catalysis. In homogenous catalysis transition metal complexes, containing a metal center and a of ligands (modulating the reactivity of these complexes) are key to achieve challenging transformations. This project aims to synthesize unique phosphorus-containing molecules (ligands) that can bind to transition […]

There are many international efforts to modernizing the current aging power grid towards an efficient grid known as “smart grid” (SG). To implement SG, many sensors are attached to different points of the power grid infrastructure. These sensors collect data and can be used for controlling, protecting, and monitoring the status of the grid by […]

In 2020, colorectal cancer was newly diagnosed in nearly 2 million patients and associated with approximately 1 million deaths, making it the second most deadly cancer globally. In colorectal cancer, staging (i.e., determining if the cancer has spread) is the single most important factor in patient survival. Existing healthcare systems struggle to deliver accurate staging, […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated an increasing dependance on the digital realm, with the performing arts and entertainment industry being forced to reinvent themselves in order to stay relevant. The advent of immersive technologies, such as virtual reality, has provided both artistic and economic potential to create virtual and hybrid shows, but it is unclear […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Pressure ulcers are a major health concern around the world, affecting individuals living with spinal cord injury (SCI) in particular. Pressure ulcers occur when the blood supply to the skin and underlying tissue is compromised, leading to cell death and potentially fatal infections. In this project, we are developing a soft, flexible and stretchable pressure […]

We are filling a gap in the legal community in Edmonton, by providing law students with an opportunity to apply their legal knowledge to help start-ups solve their legal concerns as they scale-up. This project will help fully launch the Clinic, which provides start-ups with legal information and assistance. For example, information may relate to […]

Le projet-pilote de navette autonome (et électrique) sur la rue St-Hubert, piloté par la ville de Montréal, représente ainsi une opportunité intéressante de documenter l’expérience des usagers de la navette et les perceptions des riverains par rapport à l’arrivée de ce véhicule sur le réseau routier. Le deuxième objectif vise à étudier les interactions des […]
