L’établissement récent, dans la grande région de Montréal, des entrepôts et des centres de distribution d’Amazon témoigne de l’expansion de ce secteur d’emploi, particulièrement depuis le début de la pandémie de la COVID-19. Associé à une nouvelle forme de contrôle et de surveillance du travail s’articulant au développement des dispositifs algorithmiques, cette figure du travail […]

This project aims to develop an objective and universal speech privacy method that can be used within and between open-plan and closed offices, taking account of transmission paths and likely speech sound levels based on space type and usage. A performance classification table complete with likely subjective response and percentage intelligibility will be developed for […]

The main objective of this study is to design a new fabric-based wearable tele-rehab system for automatic assessment of patients’ range of motion and quality of movements. This wearable system will consist of a lightweight stretchable sleeve that can accommodate frequent large stresses while keeping the functionality and durability of the device intact. In addition, […]

Individual risks of anxiety are multi-dimensional such that multiple combined risks (biological, cognitive, and social risks) influence the susceptibility of anxiety. This research aims to explore individual risk factors that may increase the susceptibility of anxiety in a clinical sample of children and youth. From this study, we may develop a long standing partnership with […]

The use of composites in transportation vehicles has been increasing for many years without a proportional response in the commercialization of recycling technologies to deal with this composites waste. Most of the waste generated during manufacturing and end-of-life is currently either landfilled or incinerated. Governments around the world recognize that such practices represent an obstacle […]

The electrical activity of muscles can be recorded from the skin and used to control external devices. Advances in this technology have the potential to allow a broad range of users with disabilities to control assistive technologies. This project will develop a system that uses sensors embedded in garments to measure muscle signals, and artificial […]

Ainsi, ce projet a pour […]

Mobile recycling, as part of efforts to help reduce the greenhouse emissions, is a novel type of recycling type emerged in recent years. The U-Cycle automated mobile recycling system located in Newfoundland and Labrador is a typical paradigm. This research project focuses on developing methodologies for multiple modules for the next-generation mobile recycling, including mechanism, […]

Fertility improvement is important in both human being and livestock industry. Increasing the oocyte competence is one of the most critical measures for fertility improvement. miRNAs are small non-coding RNAs which can regulate the estrogen production in the ovarian follicles which in turn affecting the oocyte development and competence. However, its underlying mechanism remains unknown. […]

In industrial areas like manufacturing units, logistics centers, and warehouses, floors are exposed to heavy traffic along with high mechanical loads and possible chemicals contact. This promotes the use of polymeric cementitious flooring compositions such as epoxy resin-based flooring compositions and polyurethane (PU) cementitious systems. The latter showed outstanding mechanical properties and do not suffer […]

The portable user friendly devices can help us monitor our health status without any need to refer clinics. This capability is good to timely and efficacious medical interventions. This project aimed at realizing this device by making the key component involved in recognizing the biomarkers. We will synthesize the component at first using available inexpensive […]

Dans un cadre de développement durable (DD), le tourisme doit être équitable sur le plan économique, viable sur le plan écologique et bénéfique pour les populations locales. La région de la Mauricie renferme une importante variété de paysages et d’offres de produits touristiques par rapport aux autres régions du Québec. Selon Tourisme Mauricie, il y […]
