Wearable body sensors are groundbreaking in that they allow for continuous and unobtrusive physiological measurements. The promise is that someday soon, smartphones will monitor our bodily state and thus prevent all kinds of wellbeing implications: acute physiological issues like stroke or heart attack; less acute but still serious illness, such as chronic illnesses caused by […]

Consistent with industry norms, ATB Financial conducts both mandatory and discretionary stress tests of the whole institution and of its credit portfolio. This project aims to contribute to the refinement of the in-house expertise on methodologies employed to measure credits risk and the overall level of risk of the institution. These activities normally require management […]

ImmunoBiochem is developing novel anti-cancer therapeutics to address unmet need in intractable solid tumors. Because solid tumors are highly heterogeneous and evasive, recognizing cancerous cells, while avoiding damage to normal tissue, is a challenge. As a result, many targeted therapies quickly come up against resistance, resulting in patient relapses. ImmunoBiochem is solving the issue of […]

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions contribute to a global warming trend that is associated with climate change. Methane is a potent GHG with a global warming potential 25 times that of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) over a 100-year period. Gas migration in soils from the subsurface to the surface is a well-known issue; however, characterizing the source […]

Definition et positionnement de modeles generiques de structures renales dans une volume d’images CT a I’aide du plus petit nombre possible de poignees predefinies sur Ie modele surfacique et auto amelioration des modeles generiques par deformations hierarchiques successives de fa

Recent progress on word and sentence embeddings has enabled efficient representation and learning of complex high dimensional probability distributions over rich text data. The proposed research aims at addressing some of the fundamental questions in this field: What are the natural mathematical structures on that latent spaces? How to find a meaningful basis? What is […]

A certain number of newborn babies may suffer from infection. Many of such infections go unnoticed but may have negative effects on child’s health. There is currently no satisfying means to detect such babies early on. We have learned that using information contained in fetal heart beats we might better predict if a yet unborn […]

The project will adapt Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) to a cased well. CAES is a mature and proven energy storage technology, however it traditionally uses large salt caverns. By understanding the deformation of a wellbore due to pressure and hot air injection, one may be able to determine the operating range of the system. […]

L’objectif de ce projet est de proposer des méthodes performantes pour la planification d’horaires de personnel pour le commerce de détail. En effet, dans ce secteur hautement concurrentiel où les marges bénéficiaires sont généralement faibles, la gestion efficace de la force de travail à disposition peut générer des bénéfices notables. Ce problème consiste à affecter […]

We address the problem of 3D human body motion capture and prediction to be used in the context of a live music concert performances. The difficulty of capturing the motion of a performer in this context comes from the harsh environment in which it takes place that includes strong and varying lighting, smoke generators, and […]

L’étude métallurgique est une étape essentielle de tout projet minier. Cette étape permet de concevoir un procédé afin d’extraire un métal d’intérêt (c.-à-d. l’or dans le cadre de ce projet) des roches. Ce procédé dépend des types de minéraux qui renferment l’or et tient compte des polluants que peuvent contenir ces minéraux. L’étude métallurgique s’appuie […]

La présente demande concerne le chantier de recherche sur les « Les pratiques juridiques controversées » : Une partie des coûts de la justice est attribuable à des pratiques situées aux limites de la déontologie professionnelle : rapport collusoire entre praticiens, multiplication des dépenses douteuses, honoraires abusifs, exploitation de l’ignorance des justiciables, engagement dans des […]
