The intestinal microbiota is essential for enhanced gut health and adequate fiber digestion. Factors such as diet transition and the stress of parturition are associated with changes in the normal microbiota of cows. Microbiota manipulation to improve performance can be achieved by the use of feed additives, such as and essential oils and vitamins, but […]

Many studies suggest that genes, environment, and age contribute to the onset of late-life neurodegenerative disease like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Epidemiological studies have shown correlations between environmental chemical exposure and neurodegeneration, but no direct and causal relationships have been established. Conversely, there may be environmental actors that suppress or delay neurodegeneration outcomes. The human body […]

The access to medical imaging is still limited for Indigenous and non-Indigenous population in remote communities. Teleradiology is now the standard of practice due to the small population size and the large geographical area to cover. The process of teleradiology is quite complex as it requires a very good coordination between the local and remote […]

The big data era represents an opportunity for statistical methods to shine, through applications relevant to a wide spectrum of fields, including actuarial science. In order to seize and make the most out of this opportunity, researchers and practitioners must, however, effectively manage the challenges that big data pose. The intern will be exposed to […]

Hydro-Québec faces numerous challenges to inspect and maintain its infrastructures. Robotics used for infrastructure inspection can lead valuable gains in efficiency. However, large-scale adoption of inspection robots requires higher autonomy levels, like the capacity to autonomously inspect specific assets. AI-based object detection and localization is a key capability to complete autonomous inspections with robots. This […]

La thèse de doctorat se centre sur les représentations cartographiques des îles de la mer Égée à la Renaissance. Elle inscrit les objets étudiés dans leur contexte géopolitique et socioéconomique afin de les étudier comme “discours” et à travers le prisme de l’histoire de l’art. Le corpus comprend différents types d’images cartographiques dont des Livres […]

Notre projet vise à développer et évaluer un programme de soutien au comportement positif spécifique à un milieu résidentiel adulte (SCP-RA) hébergeant des personnes ayant un trouble du spectre de l’autisme et des besoins modérés de soutien. Ce programme vise à créer un environnement positif, harmonieux, organisé et prévisible en favorisant les comportements prosociaux et […]

Polygon Recherche Inc. est en cours d’élaboration d’une nouvelle solution pour faciliter la réalisation de cartes conceptuelles en ligne. Un enjeu important pour la mise en marché de ce type de solution concerne l’efficacité et la transparence des algorithmes utilisés. L’objectif de ce projet est d’évaluer la validité et la stabilité de différentes méthodes d’analyses […]

The research proposes to gauge into the lives of the transgender persons in Canada, primarily in one province and applying the law and principles of victimization assess their present situation. In an endeavor to analyze the legal lacunae, the governmental ignorance and inefficient welfare mechanisms, the research expects to conduct an empirical research to be […]

The term “cognitive trance” has been proposed to define a voluntary, self-induced modified state of consciousness that is abstracted from any ritual or cultural expression. A decrease in the perception of pain and an increase in the feeling of happiness have been reported during trance. The aim of this project is to better understand how […]
