Les moteurs de recherche dits “métier” sont des systèmes qui appliquent des méthodes de pertinence pour découvrir, décrire, organiser et analyser du contenu et des données précises et relatives à un métier ou une science en particulier. Ils permettent à des informations préexistantes ou nouvellement synthétisées d’être délivrées de manière proactive ou interactive, dans leur […]

The research project consists of looking for features that could play a role in attention and vigilance. Once this is found, the intern will have to test and implement the selected features. The trainee will have access to two datasets that are already ready. Then, she will have to analyze physiological time series. She will […]

This project will facilitate the development and validation of a novel AI-based model that can improve the quality of PET images such that diagnostic-quality images can be reconstructed from administering a smaller radiopharmaceutical dose to the patient. The two main advantages of this are decreased radiation dose to the patient which decreases the chance of […]

Le Département de pharmacie du CHUM est responsable de la gestion du service des médicaments dans tout l’hôpital afin de répondre aux besoins des patients (médicaments servis au nom du patient et médicaments disponibles à l’unité de soins sur validation et au commun dans différentes localisation dont les cabinets automatisés décentralisés). En particulier, la pharmacie […]

Elder financial abuse is a nation-wide problem that affects banks and investment firms. Many experts recognize that a large number of these elder financial abuse cases involve power of attorney arrangements (Sasha Angus, personal communication, July 2013). Ambiguity exists regarding the role of banks and financial institutions regarding this problem. OBSI regularly encounters these types […]

The abradable rub strip (ARS) material’s main function is to minimize the clearance between blade tips and the fan case, thereby increasing the overall engine efficiency. Under tensile and compressive loading, the abradable material behaves different, and has a significant post-failure compaction under compressive loading. Therefore, its characterization is complex and requires a wide range […]

Depletion of high-grade ores is intensifying the energy consumption levels for processing minerals. Pressures from financial stability boards to maintain compliance with task force on climate-related financial disclosures (TCFD) has triggered industries to focus on decarbonization strategies. Moreover, generation and reclamation of staggering amounts of waste from conventional mining practices has been a formidable challenge […]

The goal of this project is to propose a design of near-zero carbon footprint sustainable community within the designated area. Design constrains will include the available land, target number of housing units, target commercial space, and target emissions of CO2 and effluent water. We will consider as part of the solution: (i) energy efficient buildings, […]

An embedded electronic system with GPS and GSM modules and a unique power supply will be developed for installation on a bike frame which cannot be tampered with. The system will allow the owner to receive notifications of a theft and to track the bike’s movement and location. This information can be passed to the […]

The proposed research will identify the dominant drivers of rising chloride concentrations in streams within the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) jurisdiction. The TRCA monitors stream water quality at 47 stations and data suggest that chloride concentrations are increasing. Previous research has identified urban growth and the subsequent application of road salt in wintertime […]

Maintenir des surfaces vieilles forêts suffisantes au sein des territoires aménagés est désormais un enjeu majeur de gestion forestière au Canada. Peu de connaissances sont actuellement disponibles sur l’importance de la diversité interne d’habitat que l’on trouve au sein des vieilles forêts pour la biodiversité qui leur est associée. L’objectif de ce projet vise donc […]

The internet has become a critical resource central to the provision of nearly every essential service, whether related to business, employment, social support, government, education, health, food, or leisure. As such, it is increasingly difficult for individuals who lack reliable, regular access to the internet to fully participate in society and obtain critical information. To […]
