Canada’s reinforced concrete structures which includes bridges and building are deteriorating rapidly due to rusting of the steel that reinforces the structure. When steel rusts it takes up more space than non-rusting steel. This puts pressure on the surrounding concrete and causes it to break off. The proposed project aims to research a new solution […]

Le domaine du cirque implique la conception de numeros acrobatiques de plus en plus impressionnants afin de creer une experience nouvelle memorable pour I’audience. L’utilisation de la technologie de pointe telle que la mecatronique permet de creer de nouvelles possibilites autrefois inimaginables. Le projet propose ici entre dans Ie cadre d’une collaboration entre I’Ecoie Poly […]

We propose the development of tools that can help identify cognitively normal subjects at risk for developing Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). The tests will use small volumes of peripheral fluids (blood, saliva, urine). Our goal is to evaluate the potential of exosomes to be used as “carriers of AD biomarkers”. These markers will be essential for […]

Feedback from students is considered essential to continuous improvement in teaching at all levels, particularly in learner-centered education. This project looks at universities’ privacy and confidentiality policies and frameworks on the use of student feedback data, to inform decisions on program/curriculum enhancements and resource allocations for student success. Data can be from monitoring what students […]

Speech separation – isolating different speech sources from a given mixed input signal – is a fundamental task in speech processing. It is a fundamental step in many applications, such as automatic speech and speaker recognition. However, speech separation is also among the most challenging tasks in speech processing. Recent studies involving deep models to […]

Dans un souci de se moderniser et d’offrir des solutions plus conviviales à ses clients, notre en-treprise souhaite explorer les capacités des technologies émergentes et ce qu’elles peuvent apporter lors-qu’il est sujet de signature numérique dans un monde totalement sans papier (aussi appelé paperless dans l’industrie), particulièrement dans un contexte où les signataires se retrouvent […]

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an important global health problem afflicting 384 million people and causing 3 million deaths worldwide each year. Currently, there are no effective therapies for COPD patients. In this proposal, we are developing a novel technology that will both monitor the severity of disease in COPD patients, and allow researchers […]

Canadian urban populations are increasingly aware of climate change and generally support mitigation strategies. But understanding how urban form impacts energy use and emissions is challenging. We propose to design, deploy and evaluate digital media tools that support collaborative exploration of urban design scenarios where some participants are joining from remote locations. Key elements of […]

The present proposal seeks to address an urgent need to evelop new trugs that target metastatic cancer with high efficacy and specificity. The type 1 insulin like growth factor (IGF-I) is a growth-promoting factor implicated in cancer cell growth and metastasis. The receptor for IGF-I has been validated as a target for anticancer therapy in […]

In the pipeline industry, the heat shrink sleeves (HSS) are the protective layer usually composed of two layers, namely, an adhesive layer and a crosslinked backing layer such as polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE). In order to maintain the desired properties of HSS, each of the layers must maintain their properties during processing, storage, and […]

In the steelmaking industry, process control models need to be based on a sound physical understanding of the process but should also account for many uncertainties due to the nature and complexity of the environment in which the process is carried out. As a result, it is crucial to extract useful process control information from […]

L’extraction d’information est un processus de structuration de I’information pertinente de documents et elle est un element cle des applications gerees par KEATEXT. Elle est constituee de trois etapes : extraction des entites nommees, identification de patrons d’extraction pour detecter leur role et fusion des informations des entites autour d’evEmements. Ce stage est consacre a […]
