Le camerisier, ou chèvrefeuille comestible (Lonicera caerulea), fait partie des cultures fruitières en émergence au Québec. Toutefois, bien que le camerisier soit cultivé au Québec depuis près d’une décennie, très peu d’information agronomique sur cette culture a été scientifiquement publiée jusqu’à maintenant. Dans l’optique de préciser la régie de la fertilisation pour la camerise, les […]

Organic coatings are used to protect surfaces in many prominent industries such as automotive and aerospace. The industrial partner has found it imperative to develop their varnish for aircraft interiors in-house. They have identified a “super varnish” that must have exceptional resistance to cracking, prevention of shrinkage and adhesion to wood substrates (grouped herein as […]

Sub-clinical disease results in reduced growth and less efficient use of nutrients, resulting in substantial impact on profitability of pork producers. With the elimination of in-feed antibiotics for growth promotion it is increasingly important to understand the interaction between nutrition and health and nutrient requirements during disease challenge events. Feeding high-fibre feedstuffs reduces the efficiency […]

Pintellect is Enterprise Social Software that gives employees access to the thoughts and ideas of the organization’s influencers by encouraging them to share links to the internal files or external resources such as books, TED talks, podcasts, articles, etc. The objective for this project is to develop multiple algorithmic solutions for curated feed of content […]

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) can deliver needed substantial emission reductions as we transition to alternative fuels. However, it is important to verify that CO2 being injected into the subsurface is well contained within the geologic container. This student will construct soil gas wells, as well as conduct surface monitoring research to define normal fluctuations […]

During live event shows, event operators rely on industry-grade intercom systems to communicate with each other and coordinate the progress of the event. Depending on the size of the event, they may need to monitor up to dozens of audio feeds and react on the commands when necessary. We hypothesize that enabling users to spatially […]

L’entreprise Métix a lancé début 2016 le produit B-CITI dont la mission est de simplifier la relation numérique entre les citoyens et leur ville, en leur mettant à disposition un ensemble de services transactionnels, informationnels et interactifs leur permettant d’accéder aux services de la ville en tout temps. En tant que mandataire des villes, B-CITI […]

Deep learning is currently the dominant machine learning technique as a result of state of the art performance in vision (Russakovsky, et al., 2015), speech (Amodei, et al., 2015) and natural language processing (Vinyals et al., 2015). The improvement in performance of these models is attributed to the availability of large datasets for training the […]

Community hospitals in small towns or rural areas face challenges in delivering health care that will allow elderly members of their community to remain in the community that they helped to build. Using simulation modelling, this project will develop strategies for delivering complex continuing care in rural hospitals that is closely integrated with long-term care, […]

The main purpose of the research project is to have the student investigate and develop a voice transformation system that modifies waveforms of recorded speech segments to produce multiple different sounding voices for characters within a video game.

Early Learning is an impotant undertaking in Canadian society and supporting young children as they move from home to early learning centres onto kindergarten classes is of particular interest and value to educators, helping us to ensure we provide the right environments and supports for all young children. This research will help us to provide […]

Today, the development of complex products such as aircraft systems is still mainly based on a paper-based requirements and development process which leads to delays, cost overrun and sometimes failure to respond to customer needs. A structured, model-based design approach is considered promising to bring innovation and optimization in systems architectures. The project aims to […]
