Canadian companies have been struggling and lacking a systematic way to locate the ideal candidate for job postings externally and internally. The application of advanced AI-based algorithms can potentially extract information from at least 20 thousand resumes to build an automatic system to match candidate skills to required job skills which is the primary focus […]

Traditionally commercial poultry is incubated and hatched in the dark. There are indications that significant benefits could be realized from providing light to developing chicken embryos during incubation. These indications include chicks that eat and drink more upon arrival at the farm. This early feeding behavior should improve the health and survival of baby chicks […]

The proposed project will explore how cannabis consumption affects the cardiovascular system. Additionally, this project will examine how these effects might impact humans abilities to perform exercise following cannabis use, and whether cannabis use alters how exercise is perceived. It will also explore whether these effects vary if cannabis is inhaled by different methods, or […]

Pour favoriser le maintien de la production en contexte de développement durable, nous cherchons à conceptualiser un système permettant au Port de Trois-Rivières d’identifier les sources bruyantes individuelles qui sont à l’origine de dépassements des niveaux sonores permis. Les techniques traditionnelles ne permettant pas d’établir ce lien de causalité, nous faisons appel aux avancées récentes […]
