Dans l’optique de développer un curriculum éducatif répondant aux besoins ainsi qu’aux réalités du milieu agricole locales, la SDÉP veut voir à la mise en place d’une communauté de […]

This project will focus on the design, fabrication and testing of an annular array-based histotripsy transducer that will improve the combined ultrasound imaging and therapy endoscopic device currently in development at Daxsonics. Histotripsy is a method of focusing high intensity ultrasound waves to liquify tissue and is a promising new method of accurately removing tumors […]

Le but du projet est de développer un pipeline de données qui traite les observations de séances de jeu et les segmente en différents archétypes de joueurs. À titre d’exemple, dans un jeu de rôle, certains joueurs ont un style de jeu offensif, tandis que d’autres ont un style plus défensif. Le premier défi est […]

Prescribed fire is an important tool to maintain the productivity and diversity of grasslands. Remnant grasslands within the jurisdiction of the Meewasin Valley Authority are thought to require fire to both maintain ecosystem integrity and to reduce the danger of wildfire. While there are many individual studies demonstrating the value of prescribed fire in Western […]
