« Lieux de mémoire » et transmission aux générations futures : une perspective archéologique. Études de cas sur des sites autochtones et euro-canadiens au Québec

Ce projet s’intéresse aux « lieux de mémoire » au Québec. La transmission volontaire d’une mémoire et d’un héritage par les populations passées aux générations futures crée des sites archéologiques particuliers, dont les traces sont délibérément conçues pour traverser le temps. La découverte en 2023 d’une « capsule temporelle » dans le « monument Price […]

Mineralogy and geochemistry of selected granitic pegmatites in Uganda

Pegmatites are important sources of several rare elements which are essential for development of modern technologies. The pegmatite deposits in Uganda had been explored and mined until the early 1970’s. At present, they are being re-evaluated and exploration for new deposits is ongoing. Auranda is seeking to establish models for mineral production based on certified, […]

Genetic Algorithm for Optimal Aircraft Routing

Airlines take the extra effort required to figure out what is the best route that their aircrafts should take so as to minimize additional costs from non-revenue flights or idle time. One way to di this is to first generate large numbers of feasible routes and then assign flights to a subset of them so […]

Developing Low-Power Spiking Neural Networks for Image Enhancement on Embedded Neuromorphic Boards: A Multimodal Sensor Fusion Approach

Image enhancement consists of creating a composite image (fused image) from different sources. The objective of this project consists of acquiring images from Electro-Optical sensors and Infrared (IR) sensors in low light conditions, to enhance them, to combine (fuse) them in order to create an image of better quality. To do so, the project will […]

Évaluation du potentiel de croissance du mélèze hybride et laricin en région boréale

Le mélèze laricin (Larix laricina) serait une espèce intéressante pour la production de matière ligneuse (Bolghari and Bertrand, 1984). Dans les années 70, un programme d’amélioration génétique a commencé et l’hybride (L. ? marschlinsii Coaz.) entre le mélèze d’Europe (L. decidua) et le mélèze du Japon (L. kaempferi) s’est avéré très performant (Perron, 2011). Cependant, […]
