Étude comparative de modèles de segmentation d’instances de légumes

Pour résoudre une problématique liée à l’analyse d’images en temps réel, Lapalme Gestion Conception Mécanique recherche un algorithme d’intelligence artificielle qui soit performant dans un contexte de tâches agricoles. Cependant, malgré la grande quantité de recherche faite en intelligence artificielle, l’évaluation de modèles sur des données agricoles est plutôt rare. Ce projet vise donc à […]

Assessing Community Well-being Risk for Supporting Decisions on Investments for Social Sustainability

Community well-being is important for building housing, income, food, and health security. The COMEAI causal model is available for evaluating the risk to housing, income, food, and health security criteria. The model has a potential for improvement to account for the lack of critical practical application and evidence-based literature support. This research aims to validate […]

Is correction of malnutrition sufficient to improve low physical function before elective colorectal cancer surgery? A randomized controlled trial of nutrition vs nutrition and exercise prehabilitation

Bowel cancers and diseases are treated with surgery. But recovery from surgery is difficult. Patients can experience long hospital stays, complications after surgery, and a delay in the return of their usual daily activities. The 6-min walk distance (6MWD) is a test performed before surgery to evaluate physical fitness. If a patient is unable to […]

Use of Advanced Customizable Leach Columns as a tool to characterize the physiochemical processes occurring in mine waste rock and tailings

Mining generates large amounts of waste (e.g. waste rock and tailings), some of which contains sulfide minerals that oxidize and produce acid rock drainage (ARD) when exposed to oxygen. Mine waste is commonly stored on-site in storage facilities which can account for > 80% of all ARD produced. Several methods exist to address ARD potential, […]

Effectiveness of Vibration Massage in Automotive Seating

This research study will examine the effectiveness of a vibration massage system in automotive seating. The vibration parameters of the massage system will be tested by examining different vibration frequencies, types of vibration exposure, and location of the vibration while occupants are sitting in an automotive seat. The intern will measure biometric data of the […]

Influence de la salinité sur la toxicité d’un effluent minier lors de l’enlèvement de l’azote ammoniacal par nitrification-dénitrification

L’exploitation des sites miniers nécessite une importante consommation d’eau. En cas de rejet en milieu naturel, les contaminants (dans le cas présent, l’azote ammoniacal, mais aussi les nitrites et nitrates) présents peuvent avoir des impacts sur l’environnement. La mise en place d’une filière de traitement est alors nécessaire. Celle-ci doit permettre de répondre aux normes […]

Conception de Réseau réflecteur large bande opérant aux bandes Q-V pour des applications spatiales

Les CubeSats sont des satellites de petite taille qui requièrent des antennes occupant un très faible volume au lancement. Les antennes paraboliques typiquement utilisées sur de plus gros satellites ne sont pas une option dans ce cas étant donné leur réflecteur courbé et volumineux. Les antennes réseau-réflecteur (ARR) se sont positionnées ces dernières années comme […]

Compliance and effectiveness monitoring of stream barrier remediations on salmonid bearing streams in British Columbia

Over 400,000 culvert stream crossings are present in British Columbia, with many acting as barriers to fish passage. The frequency of culverts on the landscape has made them the leading cause of linear stream habitat fragmentation for salmonids and a restoration priority. Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), the British Columbia Fish Passage Technical Working Group […]

Optimization of Biodegradable Soft Bait Fishing Lures from Natural Materials

There is an increase in reporting of angling activities linked to environmental pollution and exploitation. Soft plastic lures (SPLs) are a major pollution source arising from recreational angling. A small portion of SPLs currently commercially available are designed to be more environmentally friendly alternatives to PVC as they are biodegradable and are manufactured using natural […]
