Les problèmes de santé mentale au travail sont la première cause d’absentéisme au Canada. L’amélioration de la qualité de vie au travail, dont les recherches démontrent qu’elle favorise aussi la performance des organisations, est une réponse à cette problématique. La présente recherche a pour objectifs de proposer un nouveau cadre d’analyse et un nouvel outil […]

La fabrication de pièces aérospatiales représente plusieurs défis importants. Parmi ces défis, le chiffrage des coûts et de manière générale la gestion de l’ensemble des informations est un casse-tête souvent très difficile à solutionner et dépendant de représentations géométriques. La solution idéale doit permettre la combinaison d’informations multifactorielles tenant compte du capital humain, structurel et […]

Discovery Agents is a leader in mobile, augmented reality educational technology, with products and services intended to enhance student and teacher experiences within informal and formal educational settings. With a growing industry demand for diverse science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) professionals, this study proposes to examine the impact of the Discovery Agents Mission Builder […]

The bond between adhered manufactured stone masonry veneer units and the setting bed mortar will be studied. It will involve testing shear, and tensile bond on small samples. Samples will consist of 2 types of adhered manufactured stones; two types of setting bed mortar (Type S, and modified dry-set cement mortar); and two types of […]

Over 350,000 Canadians live in long-term care facilities where the rate of falls is up to 3 times higher than among individuals living in the community. Wearable sensor technology holds great promise to accurately monitor an individual’s fall risk based on the activity profile and to detect dangerous fall events. With the understanding that hip […]

Upper body injuries make up 32% of the injuries that ice hockey goaltenders have in a season. These values may be subject to change, as the National Hockey League is investigating rule changes that will decrease the size of the goaltender’s chest and arm equipment. The primary objective of this research is to investigate the […]

Counting coins, with speed and accuracy, has been a challenging issue for banks and stores. People used to count coins manually before the arrival of coin counting machines. The process of counting coins manually is a very time consuming and tedious job. Moreover, mistakes are likely to occur due to various reasons such as fatigue, […]

Systems today often handle massive amount of data with little regard to privacy or security issues that may arise. This problem has become more acute as more and more individuals and organizations are using cloud-based data storage. Encryption techniques has often provided a key role in protecting sensitive information, however many challenges remain in using […]

Work conducted during this project will involve the extension and further development of existing methods for detailed measurement and subsequent modelling of radiowave propagation characteristics in indoor environments at extremely high frequencies. Results will enable the determination of the powers, time delays, and angles of arrival of waves incident upon a receive antenna over direct, […]

L’introduction des technologies de l’information dans l’industrie de la construction est de plus en plus perçu comme incontournable, vu les gains en qualité et délais réalisés. Le BIM est un processus et une technologie qui permet de réaliser cet objectif ; dans le cadre de ce projet, il sera réalisé un guide sur le BIM […]

Current Computational Pipeline Modeling based leak detection systems can not accurately predict the leaks in the pipeline when crude oil goes though phase change (column separation) along the 100s of kms long pipeline (due to hills and valleys). The objective of this project is to gain fundamental insight into the two phase gas-liquid flow physics […]

Le passage au numérique de l’industrie de la construction marque une transformation radicale des méthodes de travail et processus associés à la technologie. Afin de tirer les meilleurs avantages de ce changement technologique, et plus particulièrement de l’utilisation du BIM (Building Information Modeling), de nombreuses recherches ont étés menées en partenariat avec les concepteurs et […]
