The south Indian megacity of Chennai, India is susceptible to recurrent flooding and seawater infiltration. The city is quickly urbanizing, but the expansion of municipal infrastructure for water and drainage has not kept pace with this rate of development. So, in the event of a storm, the city does not have the necessary built infrastructure […]

The business management literature defines an innovative startup as a “human institution, which delivers a new product-service in conditions of extreme uncertainty”. For its part, the design engineering literature proposes methods to experiment the prototype of a new product-service before its launch on the market, but without systematically analyzing its business implications. Thus, few research […]

Most cameras today, take photographs by measuring the amount of light in a scene. This means that they discard any information about the directionality of light, which results in a two-dimensional representation of the three-dimensional scene. We have developed a new type of camera that can detect the direction of light as well as image […]

The new generation of complex composites structures that will be developed by Hutchinson and its partners will integrate several functions, as esthetic interior panel, acoustic, thermal and vibration isolation, in addition to mechanical and robustness contribution brought by the integrated structure. These new technologies will allow to reduce the amount of parts, and also to […]

Continuous fibre (CF) aerospace preforms exhibiting excellent mechanical performance possess low formability characteristics and are confined to simple shell-like geometries with minimal curvatures. On the other hand, short fibre preforms such as randomly oriented strands (ROS) offer high formability but exhibit low mechanical performance. The manufacturing of composites involves time and huge costs. The overall […]

L’œuvre de Christophe Tarkos a souvent été comparé à celui de Samuel Beckett par la presse. Cependant, à ce jour, aucune étude savante n’a exploré les liens qui unissent ces deux auteurs en ce qui a trait à leur utilisation idiosyncratique de la langue. Par conséquent, ce projet vise à analyser le livre « PAN […]

The world’s music is created with a variety of sounds and structures. For example, traditional Japanese music and classical Western music use different key signatures, rhythms, and instruments. This has suggested to music cognition researchers that different musical traditions might require unique mental processes and even distinct brain areas. Indeed, research by Professor Rie Matsunaga […]

Due to lifestyle and work demands, chronic sleep deprivation is now experienced by many people, leading to increased drowsiness and fatigue which can have a negative influence on health, safety and work performance. Drowsiness, in particular, can influence fitness to drive and put people at significant risk. With this in mind and in response to […]

This project aims at investigating productive uncertainty as a determinant factor in stimulating the exploration of innovation. Data will be collected through stakeholder interviews and observations of technological intelligence practices at Université de Bordeaux’s Via Inno lab. Via Inno engages with industrial partners to explore future development opportunities, which present an ideal case study to […]

Nitrate is a major contaminant of modern groundwater and terrestrial ecosystems. It is also involved in the generation and destruction of nitrogen bearing greenhouse gasses. In order to assess how nitrate is cycled in the Earth surface environment, as well as in recent Earth history , it requires the generation of pristine records that record […]

Understanding the recent frequent use of pre-trial detention in Canada and France is crucial, considering its impact on the lives of individuals that are detained while still being presumed innocent, as well as the significant financial costs for the state. This project aims to compare the institution of pre-trial detention and examine the role that […]

Many problems which are best solved by neural networks are exhibiting rapid growth in nascent and existing fields, such as natural language processing, and image recognition for self-driving cars. Current limitations in manufacturing technologies impose limits that prevent these performance demands from being met through conventional methods. Neuromorphic computing has been proposed as a potential […]
