The research is to develop and apply advanced data technology and modeling technology for optimal and wood manufacturing. Numerical and optimization models will be developed with effective and efficient solution methods to find optimal or Pareto optimal solutions of the studied problems. The industry partner will be strongly supported by such numerical tools in its […]

Building new solar infrastructure provides opportunities to restore biodiversity and ecosystem function on site, including native plant and pollinator biodiversity, and ecosystem services of plant biomass and flower production, pollination, carbon storage, and resistance to invasive species. Restoration of the diverse native plant communities that provide these goods and services is challenged by varying establishment […]

JavaScript is widely used today to create interactive web applications that replace many traditional desktop applications. However, understanding the behaviour of web applications is a challenging endeavour for developers. Despite its importance and challenges, there is currently not much research dedicated to supporting program comprehension for web applications and popular industrial tools, such as Firebug […]

A universal sample introduction system will be developed in this project for direct analysis of solid and liquid samples with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). There are many applications in which on-site analysis of samples in their original form is of great interest. Examples include the inspection of soil for possible contamination in the […]

This project focuses on developing UW InsureTech’s deep learning product to help the broker to optimize their current clients’ group and also help them to predict the potential risk and cost-benefit values. This service will help brokers to give better service to their target customers, monitoring the risks involved. Brokers can do more upsell and […]

Lameness is one of the top welfare problems in dairy cattle and is often caused by hoof lesions. The aim of the current project is to develop and validate the use of a topical pain mitigating product to provide analgesia to cattle undergoing hoof-trimming with severe hoof horn lesions. To achieve this objective a topical […]

Le présent projet a pour objectif d’évaluer les impacts de l’implantation d’une brigade débarcadère aux abords d’écoles primaire sur la sécurité routière des élèves qui les fréquentent. Par l’utilisation d’observations sur le terrain à l’aide de grilles d’évaluation, l’équipe de recherche pourra mesurer les effets de telles brigades sur les comportements routiers aux abords des […]

In the last few years, a high increase in the interest of traders and investors towards financial instruments directly led to an important augmentation of the information received daily by exchanges. Exchange regulators, who constantly monitor markets to unveil potential infractions, traditionally perform their investigation manually and the notable growth in market activity represents an […]

Ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scintigraphy has a major role to play in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE). V/Q scintigraphy rather helps infer the presence of PE based on compromised perfusion of the occluded segmental and sub-segmental pulmonary arteries. Therefore, expert knowledge of the bronchopulmonary segmental anatomy on the various 2D planar projections of the lung and […]

La compagnie LM Wind Power est l’un des leaders mondiaux dans la fabrication de pales d’éoliennes et produit plus de 13 000 pales par an. Celles-ci sont composées en majeure partie de fibres de verre, d’un polymère thermodurcissable et dans certains cas, de fibres de carbone. En plus du défi bien connu du recyclage des […]

The primary role of the lubrication system of aero-engines is to remove the excess heat generated by the movement of the bearings, gears and shafts. An aircraft engine has bearing chambers to contain the oil used for lubrication and excess heat removal. Inefficient scavenging of the oil out of the bearing chamber can result in […]

Pénurie de main-d’œuvre, transformation numérique, concurrence étrangère; le rythme de travail s’accélère, s’intensifie et la charge des travailleurs augmente, plus particulièrement depuis la pandémie de la COVID-19. L’autonomisation du travail a permis d’éliminer certaines tâches routinières et de gagner en efficacité, mais elle contribue également à complexifier la tâche et à augmenter les ressources cognitives […]
