Safe drinking water supply is a daily need but it can be seriously threatened by microbial hazards originating from fecal contamination of source water, especially following periods of intense rainfall. In order to assess drinking water intakes (DWIs) vulnerability to fecal pollution and to take cost-effective decisions in case of hazardous events, it is urgent […]

The proposed research will take a look at how Non-profit organizations can use storytelling to affect the outcome of their social media campaigns. The intern will be taking a look at narrative driven social content, which is social media content whether videos, audio, infographics, images, etc., that are created to tell a story and its […]

Une bonne part du travail du stagiaire consistera à faire du travail d’échantillonnage sur le terrain pour prélever des échantillons de sol de la région du Témiscamingue et de la Haute Mauricie. Ces échantillons seront ensuite rapportés à l’université (UQTR), différentes analyses seront faites et l’ADN contenu dans le sol sera extrait. L’ADN correspondant aux […]

The aim of the project is to predict future customer demand for repeat-buying items based on available customer purchase records. However, the purchase history for a single customer may not be sufficient to base predictions on. Also, some purchase records might be missing due to sales events at competitors’ locations. Thus, treating each customer as […]

Today’s marketplace is moving faster than ever, and companies are challenged to distribute their products more quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively. This has led to the rise of cross-docking in the global supply chain to help keep pace with customer demand. Cross-docking refers to the practice of unloading goods or materials from an incoming vehicle (e.g., […]

Le vieillissement de la population générale amène inévitablement un vieillissement de la population active, signifiant ainsi une vague de départ pour la retraite dans plusieurs secteurs de l’industrie. Les travailleurs ayant oeuvrés une partie de leur vie dans un certain domaine d’expertise ont accumulé au fil de ces années un bagage de connaissances significatif. Ces […]

Liquefaction is a destructive phenomenon which usually takes place after an earthquake in areas with water-saturated soil or sand. During the liquefaction process, soil loses its strength and can no longer support structures and buildings which often leads to their destruction. To prevent damages associated with liquefaction, it is critical to study this phenomenon and […]

Le présent projet porte sur une étude de praticabilité de nouvelles solutions technologiques dans la construction des assemblages de chevrons et poutrelles en bois. L’attention est portée sur le bouleau comme un candidat potentiel pour ces types d’utilisations résidentielles et commerciales. En effet, malgré ses caractéristiques favorables prouvées par plusieurs études, le bouleau ne figure […]

The Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI) monitors biodiversity across Alberta. ABMI has developed an application called NatureLynx to facilitate the collection of natural history observations by broad stakeholders, including the public. This application will enable people who are not professional scientists to participate in the process of collecting data; this is called citizen science. Initially, […]

Future wireless networks demands ubiquitous coverage and higher data rates at low infrastructure cost. The novel network deployment where macro base-stations overlaid with low power nodes referred as picocell is the most promising solution towards this goal. The proposed research project intends to evaluate the system-level performance of the picocell wireless network. To quantify the […]

Outward Bound (OB) was founded in 1941 and has influenced educational organizations internationally. Outward Bound Canada (OBC), founded in 1969, is nearing 50 and has yet to systematically compile its historical documents. This research project will establish a searchable and sustainable archive for the organization and for external researchers. The project will identify how OBC […]

La volonté de réduire le poids des véhicules de transport conduit les concepteurs à choisir des matériaux et des modes d’assemblage innovateurs. Dans ce contexte, un étudiant de doctorat étudiera la possibilité d’assembler des alliages d’aluminium de nouvelle génération grâce à un procédé soudage par friction malaxage. Des campagnes expérimentales et des simulations numériques seront […]
