Spiro-Orthoester Polymerization: A Platform for Functionalized Mucoadhesive Polymers

(1) Moleculex is dedicated to transforming traditional internal wound and trauma management and closure with safe and effective bioadhesive and mucoadhesive technology.
(2) The core technology at Moleculex relies on natural-based polymers, which are limited by their inherent properties, through artificial synthesis.
(3) The new polymer expected to be developed can be integrated into our upcoming oral wound dressing and surgical bioadhesive products. This innovation has the potential to secure at least two medical device licenses and offer an improved solution for unmet clinical needs.

Navigating Transitions: Preparing Seniors-Serving Organizations for Change

The ‘Navigating Transitions’ project aims to address the existing gap in knowledge for community-based seniors-serving organizations undergoing organizational transitions, with a specific focus on a seniors centre in North Vancouver preparing for relocation. Currently, no comprehensive resources or guidelines exist to support seniors centres undertaking such moves. The findings from this study will not only assist the seniors centre in its transition but also serve as a foundational study for understanding broader trends, challenges, and needs faced by community-based seniors sector organizations during organizational moves. The ultimate goal is to develop a resource that can guide similar transitions across other seniors-serving organizations, contributing to the sustainability and inclusivity of community-based services for older adults.

Système d’information de mesurage énergétique (GeoStat)

Le projet est l’utilisation de diverses méthodes pour déterminer la capacité thermique des matériaux.
Les applications directes sont :
? La détermination de la capacité du sol à fournir une énergie thermique. L’information obtenue permettra un meilleur dimensionnement de forage géothermique et ainsi optimiser les coûts de projets en géothermie résidentiel.
? La détermination des pertes thermiques dans les parois des bâtiments. L’information obtenue sera essentielle pour évaluer la rentabilité de projets de réduction de la consommation énergétique par renforcement de l’enveloppe des bâtiments.
Ces 2 applications nous essentielle à l’atteinte de la mission d’Énergie-Stat à aider les clients à réduire leur coût énergétique tout en étant des contributeurs actifs au développement durable.

Continuation of “Use of a supersonic fluidic oscillator to generate pressure pulses in a single chamber superplastic forming process”

Supersonic fluidic oscillators are known to provide pressure pulsations which improve the metal superplastic blow forming manufacturing process. The symmetrical nature of a previously developed oscillator design, however, restricts their application to cases where two identical parts are formed simultaneously. Pressure fluctuation amplitudes are not sufficient when used for single part forming. This research aims to complete the research work of a Mitacs Elevate Fellowship in which a new, non-symmetrical supersonic fluidic oscillator was used to solve this problem. That work resulted in not only the development of an approximate model describing the performance of the non-symmetric oscillator but it’s interface with the metal forming software ANSYS LS-DYNA to generate a Hybrid Model which simulates the entire superplastic metal forming process. The Hybrid model can predict such measures of performance as forming time and wall thickness. Time limitations prevented the final validation of this model with experimental data obtained on a test part and tool in an industrial environment. That validation is the subject of the current application.

Value Proposition for AI-Assisted Cancer Diagnostics

A prominent issue with modern diagnostic tests is analysis of the large data sets that are produced by multiplexed analytical instruments. Qualisure Diagnostics, Inc. has devised a proprietary platform to tackle this issue. This technology is now at an advanced stage, and requires further development and market analysis to reach customers, users, and test designers. This internship is focused on formulating the value proposition of the platform to each of those stakeholders, requiring market research, analysis, and preparation of informational material in order to advance the product.

Jumeaux Numériques des Parcs O Bus avec Simulation à Base d’Agents

Les parcs relais, ou « park-and-ride », jouent un rôle crucial dans la gestion de la mobilité urbaine, en offrant une alternative à l’utilisation de la voiture individuelle en centre-ville. Cependant, leur impact environnemental et leur efficacité opérationnelle peuvent varier considérablement en fonction de leur conception et de leur gestion. Ce projet propose une approche innovante en développant des jumeaux numériques de ces infrastructures, permettant ainsi une modélisation et une simulation précises de leur fonctionnement. L’objectif est d’analyser l’impact des parcs relais sur les émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) et d’identifier des stratégies pour améliorer leur efficacité, contribuant ainsi à une mobilité urbaine plus durable

Immersion dans les approches méthodologiques australiennes pour l’étude de l’environnement des unités de soins intensifs : un stage de recherche

Le projet présenté est un stage de recherche Mitacs Globalink pour Edouard Paquet, un étudiant à la maîtrise en sciences infirmières de l’Université Laval. Le stage se déroulera au Critical Care Research Group (CCRG) de l’hôpital The Prince Charles à Brisbane, en Australie, du 11 mai au 18 août 2025.
Le projet proposé vise à contribuer à l’amélioration de l’environnement des unités de soins intensifs (USI) en s’appuyant sur les principes de matérialité de l’environnement et les notions de design. Le stagiaire participera à l’initiative “ICU of the Future” du CCRG, qui étudie l’impact d’un environnement optimisé sur les résultats cliniques des patients en USI. Les avantages escomptés comprennent l’amélioration potentielle des soins aux patients en USI, une meilleure , l’innovation dans la conception des unités de soins intensifs, mieux outillés les professionnels de la santé, le renforcement de la collaboration internationale et du transfert de connaissances entre le Canada et l’Australie.

An analysis of crowdfunding strategies and underlying psychological mechanism of crowdfunders’ behaviors

Indie Ink, in collaboration with the National Crowdfunding Association of Canada (NCFA), is laying the groundwork for publishing a book about crowdfunding via a crowdfunding campaign that would illustrate to the masses how this new venture is transforming Canada. This research project on planning and executing a crowdsourcing and crowdfunding campaign to gather content and a portion of the funds for the book’s production will be highly valuable for both Indie Ink and the academic community. For Indie Ink, this research will help them to set up an appropriate crowdfunding campaign and design an effective promotion strategy. Within the academic community, as there is insufficient research on this particular field of fundraising, this research will provide insight into underlying processes that drives the crowd’s intention to participate in crowdfunding campaigns

Contrôle du positionnement de point quantique par une approche thermo-optique sur des surfaces nanostructurées

L’amélioration des dispositifs actuels en biocapteurs ou émetteurs de lumière reposent principalement sur un controle du position des molécules ou émetteurs dans des endroits clefs du dispositifs. Nous avons récemment développer une méthode qui permet de positionner avec une précision très fine (nanomètre), des molécules ou émetteurs et nous souhaitons montrer son contrôle et sa viabilité pour des applications en biocapteurs (pour la santé ou l’environnement) ou pour des dispositifs de contrôles d’émission de lumières).
