Le Groupe Technologie Desjardins désire revoir ses pratiques de gestion afin de devenir ambidextre, soit d’exceller à la fois dans sa capacité à gérer ses systèmes actuels (mode traditionnel), mais aussi celle de livrer rapidement des solutions technologiques de qualité (mode agile). Sous la supervision de la professeure Line Dubé, mon mandat consiste à mettre […]

The purpose of this project is to develop methodologies for automatic human emotion detection from video that can work accurately in uncontrolled, real-world, environments. Emotional activity will be assessed from signals such as the heart-rate, blinking rate or the diameter of the eye’s pupil. Architech Labs conducts research in the areas of machine learning, computer […]

The proposed research project will research and evaluate the impact of Employer Demand-Driven Training (EDDT) programs undertaken in 5 pilot sites in Ontario. As a strategy, ‘demand-driven’ means putting businesses at the centre of workforce training development and using their workforce needs and challenges as the starting point to design effective programs. In this way, […]

This qualitative study will focus on First Nations fisheries use and management within the community of West Moberly First Nations, Moberly Lake, BC. This research will be looking at whether industrial development has impacted freshwater fishery health in the area and the resulting social and economic consequences of development on the First Nations fishery users. […]

Aujourd’hui, l’élevage des poules pondeuses dans des cages conventionnelles est considéré comme un mode d’élevage ne répondant pas aux nouvelles aux exigences de bien être animal malgré que certaines études précédentes affirment son intérêt sur l’échelle environnementale. Deux autres modes d’agencement des cages ont été proposés pour remplacer les cages conventionnelles soient : les volières […]

Au Canada, la gestion des sols pollués aux métaux lourds sur le moyen et le long terme revêt une importance capitale, car les sols, comme l’eau, sont des ressources limitées et font partie du patrimoine national. Déversés dans l’environnement, les métaux lourds s’accumulent principalement dans les sols. Dans un contexte de développement durable, l’utilisation de […]

Regional and municipal partners spend resources, time and effort securing and protecting their natural heritage systems. Roadways act as barriers restricting movement of plants and animals, degrading habitat for many species, and increasing mortality affecting the quality of these natural heritage systems. The intern will investigate methods, techniques and technologies that can be used to […]

The suggested research for the Mitacs Accelerate Program is directed to be the final step in a series of previous investigations for maximizing gold extraction from the ASGM tailings and saprolite materials, retrieved from the Eldorado Gold`s Tocantinzinho project (“TZ”), looking to improve its economic results. The TZ project is located in an extensive ASGM […]

Surgical robots are dramatically changing the way in which surgeries are performed. As operating a surgical robot is quite different than traditional surgical tools, surgeons face significant learning curves when training to gain competency. A useful tool for analyzing the learning process of surgeons is eye gaze tracking. Eye gaze tracking technology may be used […]

CA Technology wants to design the right software products well. Their user interaction designers recently began interviewing end users in their workplace and developing archetypal descriptions of typical users called ‘personas’. The good thing about personas is that they encourage designers to take a people-first perspective, which is great most of the time. But, sometimes […]

The trees and plants – also called urban forest – in our cities help to absorb and evaporate rainwater. Since cities have a lot of surfaces that are impermeable, rainwater cannot infiltrate the soil and has to be moved away through pipe systems, carrying the pollution it collects on the surface. The urban forest is […]

This project aims to develop an intelligent surveillance system for automatic event detection. The proposed system will operate in an indoor environment to notify the user of events of interest in real-time. Most standard systems use visible-light cameras and basic change detection methods (e.g. Background subtraction) to recognize simple events such as intrusion. Instead, we […]
