In 2017, Canada hosted over 13 thousand asylum seekers younger than 15 years. In Canada asylum seekers wait on average for two years for the determination of their refugee status. Moreover, asylum seekers are being vulnerablized not only by pre-migration trauma, but also because of the ongoing stressors of resettlement, including legal precarity, racism, discrimination, […]

Statistical analysis of 3-dimensional motions of objects or humans is instrumental to establish how these motions differ, depending on various influences or parameters. When such motions involve no stretching or tearing, they may be described by the elements of the Special Euclidean Group. Statistical analysis of physical processes of this kind is complicated by the […]

Videns Analytics a lancé en 2018 le projet Réussito. Ce dernier est un outil technologique qui aidera le personnel enseignant dans sa prise de décision. Pour ce faire, les commentaires de rétroaction des enseignants sont analysés, à l’aide d’intelligence artificielle, pour les classer dans plusieurs catégories ciblées par des chercheurs en éducation. Les algorithmes d’intelligence […]

Parce qu’il est urgent au Québec, tout particulièrement pour l’Institut National d’Excellence en Santé et en Services Sociaux (INESSS) et la communauté des évaluateurs, de disposer d’un ensemble de valeurs d’utilités pour les états de santé de la population qui reflète ses préférences et soit basé sur les meilleures méthodes, nous proposons ce projet. Il […]

Family caregivers are an essential component of care for young adults with severe mental illness including psychosis. While their involvement improves outcomes in multiple modalities, family caregivers are often overwhelmed with the care of their loved one. Currently, there are not enough resources for family caregivers of young people with severe mental illnesses. The study […]

This proposed project is to develop efficient sensing materials and devices that can detect trace amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS), in particular a type of activated oxygen, namely singlet oxygen. Detection of singlet oxygen is an important but very challenging task in biological and pharmaceutical applications. The main difficulty in detecting singlet oxygen is […]

En 2001, t‘Hart, Boin et Heyse anticipaient déjà la pluralisation des crises que vivent les firmes. À l‘heure actuelle, le public est plus que jamais sensible aux messages qu‘envoient les organisations à leurs commettants et la gestion des épisodes de crise est maintenant un enjeu permanent dans la stratégie d‘entreprise. À l‘ère de mondialisation, les […]

This partnership project with Hydro-Québec focuses on providing a better-informed optimization for service point location and modernizing the architecture of the optimization system. Our objective is to leverage the abundant data from Hydro-Québec to build robust forecasting models that can predict the workload demand at each potential or available service point. We also aim to […]

We have developed a natural product acaricide that is based on balsam fir (Abies balsamea) essential oil. The product kills overwintering ticks. It is designed to be applied to lawns, gardens and municipal parks in the late fall to kill ticks over the winter. The purpose of this project is to complete testing under semi-natural […]

Large fiberglass parts cannot be easily recycled. In this proposal, a recycling method will be developed to meet the needs of Proslide. Waste Fiberglass generated by Proslide will be transformed into recycled parts that can be re-used by the company. This will accomplished in several steps by first taking the waste parts to a recycling […]

Blueberries consumption has increased in the last decades due to their delicious flavour and recognized health benefits. However, even if the blueberry flavour is naturally delightful, some consumers are concerned because this flavour is not consistent over weeks, which could result in a decreased purchasing interest. Blueberry flavour depends on many factors, especially the genetic […]

Today’s high performance computers offer the possibility of computing complex large scale computational fluid dynamics simulations in a reasonable time. In practice, exploting the thousands of computing cores to achieve the desired solution time is very challenging. These challenges include finding enough work to keep all these cores busy, and assigning work to different parts […]
