Le projet de recherche porte sur la prédiction probabiliste d’une demande intermittente. On cherche à prédire la distribution statistique du niveau de remplissage d’un réservoir en fonction du temps, à l’aide des données des derniers services. Ces prédictions permettront d’optimiser les fenêtres de temps des prochains services. De ce fait, on augmentera le taux de […]

Scalable systems must seamlessly grow to absorb large data sets and incorporate increasing numbers of processing units within in various communication fabrics. Broadly considered, this concept applies to cores sharing memory, processors sharing a bus, nodes sharing a network in a grid/cluster/cloud, or services sharing compositions of components. Ironically, attempts to add more resources-whether they […]

The proposed project seeks to better understand how contingency, dynamic capability, and task-technology theories factor in business process management models that apply to the business needs of SMEs and allow multiple system integration. Because a lot of research shows that the alignment of the business and IT goals of a company is crucial for business […]

The objective of this proposed research is to examine how multiculturalism is experienced and practised in community by women from different cultural backgrounds. Drawing on everyday life stories created by the study participants, we aim to obtain empirical knowledge about impacting factors that positively influence immigrant integration and resettlement experience. Such knowledge will contribute to […]

Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology provides a promising avenue to reduce carbon emissions. CCS works by capturing and storing carbon dioxide preventing it from contributing to climate change. Pressurized Chemical Looping Combustion (PCLC) is a promising next generation CCS technology that use a metal catalyst to react hydrocarbon fuels in an efficient way allowing […]

High channel count sensor and actuator devices are needed to tackle a growing number of functions in aircrafts. With traditional avionics technology, connecting these devices results in bulky wiring bundles. The stringent safety standard of avionic systems requires redundant installation of all components on board, which further exacerbates the situation. Moreover, in new avionic systems, […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à optimiser l’utilisation d’aluminium dans la conception de ponts routiers. Des recherches récentes montrent que l’aluminium pourrait présenter de nombreux avantages économiques grâce à son excellente durabilité, le peu d’entretien qu’il nécessite et son recyclage en fin de vie. Ces avantages seront tangibles dans la durée et non pas lors […]

Threatened by local and global catastrophic effects of climate change, the Indigenous remote communities in Canada’s Arctic are now warming twice as fast as the rest of the world. Along with other factors contributing to the rising temperature, this is also due to the continuous burning of fossils fuels for their energy needs. Specifically, diesel […]

Bien qu’il ne semble pas y avoir de consensus en ce qui concerne le concept d’attitude envers l’argent, la plupart des chercheurs s’intéressant au sujet considèrent qu’il « s’agit d’un construit psychologique stable qui est caractérisé par les significations que l’individu attribue à l’argent et qui conduit à des types de comportements à son égard […]

Les procédés électromembranaires sont des technologies vertes de séparation par membranes utilisées dans les industries bioalimentaires pour purifier des molécules d’intérêt. Parmi ces procédés, l’utilisation de l’électrodialyse avec membrane de filtration (ÉDMF) a permis de démontrer, tout récemment, que la séparation d’hydrolysats de harengs permettait la modulation d’activités biologiques. L’objectif général de ce projet est […]

The project is based on focus groups discussions to look at the impact of microfinance on women’s wellbeing in rural parts of Vietnam. This approach will support to evaluate the different ways through which economic burden associated to microfinance may affect women’s well-being and what are the initiatives involving financial institutions and advocates of women’s […]

In this project we aim to automatically learn an augmenter network by using an approximate online bilevel optimization procedure. We plan to learn a augmenter network that generates a distribution of transformations that minimizes the loss on a validation set. By unfolding the gradients of the training loss, we will optimize the loss on validation […]
