SharePoint Migration and Enhancement

NACG is updating information to SharePoint Online and converting all of our internal websites to the new version. Due to the size and nature of the update, it is going to require a full project methodology. The main challenge will be the updating of the folder structure of 2010 to the new structure of SharePoint Online. This project aims to elicit requirements and design/implement a new process for the storage of documents. There are also SharePoint workflows and customized applications that will need to be reviewed and an approach to the replacement of these will need to be decided.

Stage en évaluation du potentiel minier 2024

Ce projet vise à donner des expériences de stage appliqué dans le domaine de l’exploration/exploitation minière à des étudiants en géologie au niveau maîtrise. Ces stages seront accueillis par des compagnies d’exploration, d’exploitation ou de service basées au Canada à la recherche de différents types de minéralisation sur des propriétés minières dont le niveau de connaissance est variable. Le début du stage est marqué par une formation pratique sur des concepts théoriques et techniques de la géologie d’exploration au Canada et donnée à l’UQAT. Par la suite, les stagiaires seront déployés vers leur compagnie d’accueil respective. Faisant partie d’une équipe interdisciplinaire et supervisé par un géologue, les stagiaires participeront à des travaux de cartographie géologique, d’échantillonnage, de mesures de propriétés physiques, de caractérisation chimiques et minéralogiques et/ou de descriptions de forage dans le but de découvrir de nouvelles minéralisations, de définir les extensions de zones déjà connues ou d’évaluer des opportunités de récupération de minéraux critiques et stratégiques. Ces stagiaires permettront aux organismes partenaires d’avoir accès à des étudiants en géologie dont le corps d’emploi est en grande demande sur le marché du travail canadien présentement.

Stratégies de propriété intellectuelle pour startups canadiennes en medtech

Premièrement, le Canada est un cancre dans le financement de la recherche et de l’innovation. Le pays est à la traîne de tous ses pairs. Deuxièmement, lorsque le Canada innove, la propriété intellectuelle résultante disparait disproportionnellement à l’étranger. La recherche est donc financée par les contribuables, mais finit par subventionner indirectement les profits d’entreprises étrangères. Cela doit cesser.

La situation est particulièrement critique en medtech (“technologie médicale”). Il y a d’impressionnantes recherches, mais, surtout, il y a une absence totale de ressources pour transformer les avancées en laboratoire en succès commerciaux. Au Canada, ni l’État, ni le privé, investissent en medtech; les innovations sont oubliées ou achetées à rabais.

Ce projet vise à guider les startups (“jeunes pousses”) medtech canadiennes dans le développement de stratégies de propriété intellectuelle pertinentes. En médical, la propriété intellectuelle est le nerf de la guerre. Le portfolio de propriété intellectuelle des startups médicales constitue l’écrasante majorité de leur valeur. Si, à l’aide de stratégies pertinentes, on maximise la valeur de son portfolio, on augmente son intérêt aux yeux des potentiels investisseurs. Ces investisseurs sont essentiels, puisqu’ils financent la quasi-totalité de la transformation de l’innovation en produit commercialisable.

Donc, en maximisant leur attrait, ces startups medtech deviendront des investissements plus intéressants, ce qui, en retour, stimulera l’afflux de capitaux dans l’industrie et, à terme, facilitera le transfert des innovations vers le marché. Il s’agit d’un cercle vertueux, puisque plus il y aura d’innovations qui généreront des profits intéressants, plus il y aura de l’intérêt à investir en medtech.

CENTRALIZED REPORTING SYSTEM OF AN ORGANIZATION (www.sunraygroup.ca)

The Proposal is about centralizing the reporting system an organization having a number of properties distributed in different regions of Canada. Daily revenue report is created at each property at the end of the day and sent to the owner. The owner has to go through a number of reports for getting an accurate view of the working of the organization. The proposed research project shall help in merging all the reports into one and helping the owner to better analyze the financial condition of the organization. As different systems are used for generating reports at different properties, a detailed study of these systems is required so as to get finally merge the reports generated from all the systems into one report that can be only accessed by the authorized users.

Effectiveness of Virtual Fencing Collars at Containing Cattle in a Mountainous Region

Explore the use of virtual fencing collars to contain cattle within pasture boundaries on an operational level. This has not been done before by other research, and no other research has been done in mountainous regions. This would fill in gaps in research that have not been explored yet. On top of that research is limited on using collars for targeted grazing applications. This research plans to address this and use targeted grazing to reduce undesired species cover and increase desired species cover. The partner organization will benefit from being able to use rangeland where most fences were burned from the Crater Creek Fire, they will decrease overall cost in maintaining and building fences and increase the quality and value of the rangeland.

Developing High-Performance Asphalt Concrete Mixes through Bio-Graphene Nanoplatelets Modification

High performing asphalt pavements are vital to the continual operation of North America’s transportation network. Asphalt, which is a mixture of asphalt cement, aggregates, and fillers, is paved at high temperatures and compacted to provide a smooth, waterproof, and safe wearing coarse for vehicles. Over the 15-to-20-year lifespan of the pavement, the asphalt surface can be damaged by heavy traffic loading and changing environmental conditions often presenting itself in the form of cracking and rutting. Traditionally, asphalt pavement materials are modified with different polymers and additives to reduce potential damage from these increasingly harsh conditions. This project aims to develop eco-friendly, low-cost graphene asphalt modifiers as an alternative to conventional modifiers. The research will quantify the performance improvements of an innovative graphene modifier for flexible pavements in Canada.
