For instance, we use our ID cards or driver’s license as a means of approving our identity, we travel abroad with our passports, we utilize our bank cards for buying merchandises, we use our health cards for health reasons, etc. With the […]

Debris removal is crucial for the future of low earth orbit operations as the exploitation of this orbit grows. A significant increase of debris will accompany these new constellations. Estimating the relative position and orientation (commonly called Pose estimation) of a known but uncooperative space-craft from a monocular image is an essential computer vision application […]

La planche coréenne est une discipline de cirque présente dans presque tous les spectacles du Cirque du Soleil. Il s’agit d’une longue planche à bascule sur laquelle deux acrobates, placés à chaque extrémité, se catapultent continuellement pour effectuer des sauts acrobatiques. Les dimensions de l’équipement varient d’une compagnie à une autre, cependant, de nombreuses inconnues […]

Les villes, y compris la Ville de Montréal, principales émettrices de GES, sont pleinement engagées dans les objectifs de réduction de leur empreinte carbone en vue de ralentir le réchauffement climatique. L’Arrondissement Sud-Ouest, afin de prendre les meilleures décisions possibles et d’engager sa population dans cette perspective, souhaite bénéficier de l’expertise de chercheurs de la […]

L’organisme communautaire Diapason-Jeunesse (DJ) contribue à la persévérance scolaire de jeunes lavallois âgés de 12 à 17 ans. Depuis quelques années, les participant-e-s de l’organisme sont de plus en plus des jeunes issu-e-s de l’immigration. Or, le parcours migratoire et l’installation au Québec peuvent représenter des défis pour ces jeunes, pour leurs parents et pour […]

Using simplified language understandable to a layperson, provide a general, one-paragraph description of the proposed research project to be undertaken by the intern(s) as well as the expected benefit to the partner organization. (100-150 words) Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are essential for plant growth, yet their genetics are very poorly understood. The proposed research aims […]

AEI&D is a small Ontario company seeking to supply computer-based controllers for video-wall displays. AEI&D is aware of a growing trend to deploy video walls in a variety of sectors including the retail, educational and entertainment sectors.

Al applications require massive computing resources that consume immense energy. Al compute is expected to account for a significant percentage of the global power consumption. As current digital Al chips cannot keep up with demand, more energy-efficient Al chips are required. This project addresses major milestones toward implementing an energy-efficient photonic Al accelerator system. A […]

The project aims to identify various usability factors and how they affect user’s perception of the trustworthiness of the blockchain-based record and their intentions to adopt this technology. The study also aims in increasing our current understanding of how usability affects users’ perception of the trustworthiness of blockchain technology for personal health data sharing. The […]

This research project will be focused on addressing the relationship between the racialized groups and their employment opportunities. The results of the research will encourage a healthy discussion and provide a direction for addressing the needs of racialized groups.

La production de pièces techniques en caoutchouc met en oeuvre un procédé de transformation irréversible, la vulcanisation, qui permet d’attribuer à la pièce des propriétes mécaniques qui doivent respecter des valeurs de spécifications précises. Un non-respect des critères de qualité engendre un gaspillage, car en raison du caractère difficilement recyclable du caoutchouc, la matière des […]

We need to understand whether estuarine marsh habitat recovers to the same condition quality as undisturbed areas after exclusion of intensive goose grazing. Recovery through natural processes takes longer than restoration assisted by transplanting, however understanding how much faster assisted restoration enables recovery helps inform cost-effective strategies. Non-profit organizations can benefit from academic support to […]
