La définition du projet représente la première étape d’un projet architectural où les besoins des usagers sont définis et la solution architecturale est proposée. Elle représente une étape importante dans la création des espaces utiles et efficaces. Cependant, la définition du projet est une tâche difficile surtout lorsqu’il s’agit des projets complexes tels que les […]

Challenge: The most critical step in discovering future medications is the identification of the initial hit compounds (“leads”) that interact with target proteins and which have the desired properties. The search for and validation of potential lead compounds is a major challenge for launching drug discovery programs as this process requires highly specialized expertise, expensive […]

Canada’s modern landscape has been strongly influenced by the formation and subsequent melting of glaciers during the last glaciation. Glaciers have a wide range of effects on near surface sediments including moving and reworking them to form new deposits. Understanding the actions of the glaciers and the shape, characteristics and variability of the resulting sediments […]

L’objectif général de ce projet de recherche est d’étudier des approches statistiques et computationnelles pour permettre l’analyse automatique des données structurées et non-structurées dans le contexte de décision péda-gogique et dans le cadre d’un outil tel que Reussito. Afin d’étudier la pertinence de ces approches, le projet se concentrera sur le développement des algorithmes d’analyse […]

Implementation of low cost techniques for automation is critical for various industries. At Fourien, we are developing various types of analytical instruments and robotic solutions for a variety of clients. Instead of installing multiple sensors in our technologies, we can employ computer assisted image recognition to implement various levels of automation in our different platforms […]

Climate change has been projected to increase the frequency and severity of extreme weather (wildfire) and increase the prevalence of vector-borne infectious diseases (such as West Nile Virus and Lyme disease), which will potentially affect the insurance sectors through increased claims, financial losses, and the development of uninsurable risks. This review will follow a rapid […]

Conventional wastewater treatment processes consume a large amount of energy and produce around 32% of municipal greenhouse (GHG) emissions. Thus, advanced wastewater treatment technologies with low energy consumption and GHG emissions are highly desirable for environmental protection. Aerobic membrane bioreactor (AeMBR) has been widely used for municipal and industrial wastewater purification. However, the AeMBR technology […]

Accompagnement du Beam Me Up pour bien définir, préciser, défendre et solidifier l’aspect éthique dans la gouvernance globale de son entreprise, mais aussi de ses projets dans le domaine de la gériatrie. dont son système intelligent d’assistance à la surveillance d’espaces communs des résidences pour personnes âgées : l’intelligence artificielle et les technologies de détection […]

Thickness and surface roughness are the two main veneer quality criteria affecting material recovery, plywood glue bond quality, and glue consumption. At present, on-line green veneer thickness and surface roughness are generally not measured, which causes difficulty in assessing overall veneer quality for a better control of log conditioning and veneer peeling process. In this […]

This study will determine the applied wind loading on the steel structure of the novel Electric Vehicle Automated Parking (EVAP). It will develop proper design guidelines for steel helical piles to support EVAP considering gravitational (self-weight of EVAP and cars) and environmental loads (i.e. wind, snow and earthquake). EVAP is the world’s first integrated parking […]

My research seeks to explore the growing field of Impact Producing in Canada. Impact Producing is defined as the labor of maximizing a documentary film’s potential for social change. This field often involves creating partnerships between documentary films and existing social movements and the nonprofit sector. My research will explore the methodologies and development of […]

Un embarcation nautique autonome doit pouvoir naviguer en utilisant les données qui lui sont disponibles. Dans la plupart des cas, une telle embarcation utilise seulement un GPS pour connaitre sa position. Toutefois, ceci ne lui permet pas d’éviter les obstacles flottants, et encore moins les obstacles sous l’eau comme les hauts-fonds. Un système de navigation […]
