Le déploiement d’environnements de réalité virtuelle permettant l’immersion physique des participants repose sur un ensemble intégré de technologies. Ces systèmes sont généralement très coûteux, peu flexibles et mal adapté au travail des chercheurs en communication ou à celui d’artistes qui désireraient développer des expériences immersives physiques Ces systèmes appelés CAVE 1 nécessite notamment l’emploi de […]

The Raincoast Conservation Foundation pursues conservation initiatives in coastal British Columbia through science, outreach, and sustainable economies, such as ecotourism or community-driven fisheries management informed by local knowledge and ecology. The success of wildlife viewing ecotourism greatly depends on knowing areas and time periods predictably used by target species. The goal of the proposed research […]

Machine Learning has just started to be applied to the Legal Domain. ROSS Intelligence makes it possible for legal professionals to work faster and more effectively. Advanced Recommender Systems have not been previously applied in the Legal Domain. Yet state of the art models such as ones using Deep Collaborative Filtering have proven to be […]

Heart disease is the main reason of death worldwide. One way to understand better and detect heart diseases without need for biopsy via surgery is by using medical imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cardiac magnetic resonance is a specific kind of MRI which allows great visualization of inner parts of the heart and […]

Le stage a pour objectif de mettre à jour et de bonifier la liste des sites de production d’énergies renouvelables (incluant coordonnées GPS et caractéristiques techniques) sur le territoire québécois. Il visera également à identifier et géolocaliser les fournisseurs de biens et services de chacune des filières technologiques (hydro, éolien, solaire, bioénergies) afin d’identifier l’impact […]

Depuis quelques années, on constate un engouement marqué pour le logement intergénérationnel et multifamilial au Québec. Plusieurs rêvent par exemple de se construire une mini-maison en fonds de cours ou d’ajouter un logement à leur habitation. En plus de bénéficier aux particuliers, en canalisant la croissance urbaine vers les quartiers existants, ces habitations contribuent à […]

For patients with end-stage disease, like cirrhosis, their only treatment option is life-saving organ transplantation. The wait for an organ can take many years over which the patient’s condition continues to deteriorate as there is no other treatment. However, maintaining physical activity and a good nutritional intake is necessary to remain on the wait and […]

Corporate employees face a range of ethical pressures and challenges; in some cases, employees fail at these challenges, and the result is often bad for employees, for employers, and for the Canadian public. Ethics education in post-secondary settings and corporate ethics training may help, but needs to be designed in a way that takes account […]

The Centre for Opertations Excellence Industry Projects 2018 consists of seven sub-projects sponsored by five different industry partners. Each sub-project represents an important challenge for its sponsor. These sub-projects include Correlating Anomaly detection for Boeing Vancouver(Boeing 1), Correlating NOTAMs with airport disruption for Boeing Vancouver (Boeing 2), Using Wifi data to measure process times at […]

The partner is experiencing difficulties in finding an efficient solution for planning and scheduling the production in meal processing plants. The challenges involve rapid degradation of fresh food ingredients, a wide variety of products and demand which cannot be predicted in advance. The partner spends a lot of time on tactical management of business activities. […]

The waste/by-products generated from lobster processing are rich in valuable compounds, one of which is chitin/chitosan. Chitosan is a natural polymer that has wide ranging applications in several fields ranging from agriculture to cosmetics. Specifically, the ability of chitosan to act against pathogenic microbes is of interest in this study. The aim of this project […]

Petroleum contamination in Canada is a major environmental concern. However, remediating petroleum hydrocarbon-impacted soil environments in cold climates, including northern sites, is very challenging and often prohibitively expensive, mainly due to low temperatures (short summer) and remoteness. Bioremediation is the use of microbial populations for degrading and detoxify contaminants and has been considered a cost-effective […]
