With data being the new digital currency, consumption of data is growing at an exponential rate. Data communication between mobile devices and servers generates a massive cost to businesses because of the high throughput. The business impact becomes exponentially large with respect to cellular bills and additional resources handling elevated server workloads. The objective of […]

The project consists of a study on the disposal and upgrading of dried and dehydrated sludges from the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater. The study would be limited to the province of Quebec. As a specialist in the treatment of wastewater, Degrémont supplies high performance technologies for the dehydration and drying of wastewater treatment […]

This proposed research seeks to better understand how people make decisions on purchasing consumer goods online. Due to COVID-19, we have seen a massive acceleration of online shopping, especially for essential items such as food. As such, consumers are increasingly relying on digital information to connect to food (and the places it grows). By studying […]

La vaccination demeure une des interventions les plus efficaces pour réduire la mortalité associée aux maladies infectieuses telles la pneumonie et l’influenza (CCNI, 2020). Depuis mars 2020, les pharmaciens communautaires Québécois se sont joints à l’effort collectif de vaccination grâce à l’obtention du droit de prescrire et d’injecter les vaccins (ASSNAT, 2020). Selon l’expérience de […]

L’ocre ferreuse est un dépôt visqueux d’hydroxyde ferrique ayant généralement la couleur orange, qui se dépose sur la surface des systèmes de drainage et colmate les drains. La déposition de l’ocre résulte de deux processus, biologique et chimique, qui peuvent se produire seuls ou en concomitance. Compte-tenu de l’importance de cette problématique, l’entreprise Soleno, en […]

These days, there is growing concern about the security of confidential data in organizations. There is no doubt that organizations with high-security measures will witness cyberattacks. Therefore, the question is how we can prepare our infrastructure and cybersecurity team to deal with these challenges. The incidents response playbook is a comprehensive plan which has been […]

Heat stress is a deadly occupational hazard that is projected to increase in severity with global warming. While upper limits for heat stress designed to protect all workers have been recommended by occupational safety institutes for some time, heat stress continues to compromise health and productivity. The continuing detrimental effects of heat stress may be […]

Trois lacs du parc des Grands-Jardins montrent des fleurs d’eau (d’algues ou de cyanobactéries) récurrentes depuis quelques années, signe d’une eutrophisation accélérée. L’eutrophisation et le réchauffement du climat, de même que l’intensification de l’activité des castors, pourraient agir de concert et menacer l’habitat du poisson par la hausse des températures et la réduction de la […]

Fusion energy has the potential to revolutionize how we generate electricity, and pave our path towards a netzero carbon future. Most fusion fuels are hydrogen isotopes, which are heated and compressed into a plasma state. This process is very difficult – if the plasma degrades or behaves poorly, fusion won’t be able to occur. One […]

Deep brain stimulation is a treatment method for Parkinson’s Disease, involving implanting an electrode deep into the brain. This procedure has a small but serious risk of complications such as hemorrhage and infection. However, a new stimulation technique, called temporal interference stimulation, may circumvent these risks, and allow for non-invasive deep brain stimulation. Temporal interference […]

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and sports-related concussion have complex and variable neuronal pathophysiology. Despite extensive attempts for discovery and identification of protein biomarkers in the blood of concussion patients, the success of proteins markers is limited due to the heterogeneity and complexity of concussion. There are still no reliable protein biomarkers that can accurately […]

3D object reconstruction is a crucial task for autonomous driving. Many important fields in autonomous driving such as prediction, planning, and motion control generally require a faithful representation of the 3D space around the ego vehicle. Reliable and accurate 3D reconstruction with one RGB video alone in autonomous driving is the goal of this project. […]
