La recherche vise à explorer des solutions pour augmenter la capacité et la résilience des infrastructures urbaines en eau face à la densification urbaine et aux changements climatiques. La densification urbaine, bien que bénéfique sur le plan environnemental, exerce une pression sur les infrastructures vieillissantes, augmentant la demande en eau potable, les rejets d’eaux usées […]

Comme alternative aux coupes totales, les coupes partielles sont utilisées pour assurer la conservation de la biodiversité tout en fournissant les ressources ligneuses nécessaires de manière durable. Aujourd’hui de nombreuses études scientifiques ont démontré l’efficience des coupes partielles pour la préservation d’espèces forestières animales et végétales et leur potentiel pour la production de bois. Cependant, […]

Biotechnological advancements are opening new doors in clinical and biological sciences by enabling in-depth exploration of disease markers and pathways that were previously unimaginable. However, these advancements bring data challenges due to the complexity and vast amount of information involved. Traditional analysis methods often fall short in capturing the dynamic nature of biological processes, usually […]

The proposed research project aims to improve how information is managed for bridge construction and maintenance using advanced technology. The intern will create a system that combines Microsoft Power Apps, Power BI, and Autodesk Forge’s digital twin environment. This system will make it easier for engineers to input, store, and access important information related to […]

In the context of the intern’s postdoctoral project, the research project aims to examine the correlation between the restrictiveness of a reform and the likeliness of its transfer using the IMPALA database. To this aim, the intern, after having received appropriate training, will incorporate the relevant regulatory framework in the International Migration Policy and Law […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

The proposed research project will focus on the development of novel techniques to improve the assessment of psychological functions. Current psychological tests are limited in their ability to provide quantitative information on an individual’s ability to move and interact with their environment. Many psychological tests are computer-based systems that have been developed to assess psychological […]

Cette recherche se concentre sur l’analyse des fondements politiques et de la mise en œuvre initiale de la Loi québécoise sur la protection du territoire agricole de 1978, dans le but de saisir pleinement l’esprit de cette réforme dans le cadre de la révision actuelle de la loi. En premier lieu, une enquête socio-historique examinera […]

Humans and animals have emotions linked to an individual’s personality traits, which becomes obvious when looking into the pet and pet-owner interactions. With the advancement of Generative AI, research suggests that it is possible to replicate individuals’ behaviors digitally so that avatars can engage in game-plays and platforms like digital twins and metaverse, for entertainments […]

The Artists on the Wards (AOW) program, introduced over 20 years ago, offers free arts sessions (music, visual, and literary) to patients and healthcare staff at the University of Alberta Hospital and Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute. The program, run by compassionate artists, aims to improve well-being through attentive and responsive arts engagement. While participants report […]

During rainfall events, it is nearly impossible to prevent water from entering into a sanitary sewer system. When this does occur, the capacity of the systems is decreased while the amount of water sent to treatment plants is increased. Current design practices do not offer any insights into the variability and other statistics characterizing this […]
