Over the last few years, Nureva has experienced an increasing trend with their audio products being purchased for HyFlex (hybrid-flexible) classrooms across North America, particularly in higher education. Research shows that this is something many institutions are investing in and will continue to invest in beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. However, not a lot of research […]

Potholes are among the most common and most unfavorable pavement distresses. Abundantly present in cold climates, potholes are exacerbated by severe freeze and thaw cycles. The cavities left behind by potholes are often dangerous to vehicles and need to be repaired through patching. Due to the widespread nature of this pavement distress, the repairs can […]

Modern organizations collect and process mass amounts of personal data. This data has the power to individually identify an individual and may be linked to some sensitive information about them. Because of this risk, policies and legislation have been implemented to ensure that personal data is handled in an organized and secure manner. As the […]

Le site patrimonial du Poste-de-Traite-de-Chicoutimi est le berceau de l’occupation canadienne sur le territoire. Les fouilles archéologiques qui ont eu lieu de 2013 à 2019 sont des fouilles ouvertes au public. Depuis la fin du projet, la collection est au laboratoire d’Archéologie et d’histoire de l’UQAC et elle n’est plus accessible au public. Afin de […]

Wild boars (Sus scrofa) are a highly invasive species which causes destructive damages to property and crops and poses a major threat to the Canadian pork industry because wild boars are also reservoirs for infectious diseases, including African swine virus (ASF). Current control and management of the wild boar populations have been ineffective because these […]

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 […]
