Software development for beam-type structures’ reliability analysis

Reliability analysis of structures is crucial to ensure efficient operations in industrial assets. Nowadays, industries benefit from condition monitoring (CM) equipment to evaluate their products’ health. Current commercial reliability software can not accurately analyze the reliability of structures under time-varying conditions. The intern has previously developed an algorithm for accurate reliability analysis of different structures. […]

Advance Airspace Usability

The airspace will rapidly change in the next 15 years with increased automation of air traffic control, flight path tracking with strong time constraints and big data exchange between the aircraft and ground control for communication. However, little information is available to understand the impact of this transformation on the pilot’s tasks and how to […]

Optimisation du transport de messagerie-colis

Le projet vise a ameliorer la gestion actuelle du transport de messagerie-colis au CHUM. Actuellement, il y a une gestion decentralisee de la gestion de messagerie-colis et chaque departement et centre de recherche utilise un transporteur selon ses criteres. Cela s’avere tres couteux pour l’institution hospitaliere parce qu’en plus de ne pas profiter des economies […]

Going Beyond Backlash: Mitigating Resistance to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Initiatives

Some may think that it is only members of underrepresented and marginalized groups who experience identity threat in an organization. However, members of traditionally well-represented groups can feel threatened by diversity, equity, and justice (DEI) initiatives, and this can result to backlash which could derail those efforts. Through a collaboration with Feminuity, a consulting firm […]

Characterization of Simple In Vivo Models of Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) Disease

Modelis is a drug discovery platform company focused solely on rare, genetic diseases. Our unique approach combines genetically-engineered worms which are ‘avatars’ of human patients, with high-throughput drug screening. This results in a dramatically accelerated drug discovery process. Our platform is perfectly suited for genes that are evolutionarily and functionally conserved such as FIG4, and […]

Subsea Pipeline Remnant Life Assessment

Many of the pipelines either offshore or onshore are nearing the end of their design life. Some of the pipelines show signs of deterioration and ageing as a result of corrosion and fatigue. There are situation where the operators desire to extend the life of an ageing pipeline beyond its life expectancy due to increased […]

Secure Communication Based on Public Key Distribution with Imbalanced Twin-Field-QKD-like Infrastructure in Classical Coherent Optical Fiber Network

In quantum key distribution (QKD), the twin-field has been proposed as a means to overcome the linear key rate bound, and hence the key generation rate, as well as to enable repeaterless QKD transmission. Despite significant progress in TF-QKD and its variations in recent times, the key rates are still significantly low compared to practical […]

Improvement of a Portable Assistive Device Concept for Hand Rehabilitation

As the number of patients with stroke and Parkinson’s Disease (PD) increases, it is essential to obtain treatment progress data efficiently for the home rehabilitation. For the therapy of hand disabilities, a system is required to collect data, process and control hand motions during rehabilitation. Current rehabilitation devices that are available in the market are […]
