A quantitative risk prediction model is to be constructed. We need to determine if the available data will fit an existing model and validate the results or if a new statistical model is required. Each case will be allocated into one of three categories (low, moderate and high risk). This stratification must have clinical validity […]

Uncertainty at the upstream supply of agricultural products has been a challenge for growers. This uncertainty governs the market of non-strategic crops such as perishable field vegetables by affecting suppliers (or growers), distributors, and consumers. It causes too much or too little supply and consequently unexpected price variations. The supply chain of perishable food is […]

Face aux lacunes des approches de conservation conventionnelles, la présente recherche sur les aires protégées et de conservation autochtones (APCA) vise les objectifs suivants : – Définir une démarche pour la co-construction d’une vision commune de la réserve de biodiversité Uapishka, en termes de valeurs, d’objectifs et de besoins; – Établir un cadre pour le […]

Les adaptations, transformations et changements sont nécessaires dans la vie des organisations, il est admis chez les chercheurs et praticiens que ces changements se réalisent à travers des projets et des programmes, ils servent à garder une synchronisation avec l’environnement des organisations. Les individus ont tendance à résister aux initiatives de changements, ce qui s’applique […]

Une transition vers une consommation de l’énergie électrique plus sobre, efficace, flexible ou raisonnée doit notamment être pensée dans la réalité de jeunes parents manquant de temps, stressés, endettés par un premier achat immobilier. Leurs trajectoires et leurs aspirations d’établissement, ainsi que leurs manières de se déplacer, d’habiter et de s’approprier des lieux dispersés, expliquent […]

This project aims to measure the credit risk of Sun Life structured assets portfolio. The objective is to evaluate the accuracy of different methods to assess the credit risk of these types of financial instruments and to evaluate their advantages and limitations. Two methods are proposed to assess structured finance assets risk: Loan Equivalent Approach […]

A major challenge involved in assessing the reliability of degrading structures relates to the extraordinary computational cost required to conduct the reliability simulation considering the spatial variability of the structural degradation process (such as damage due to mechanical and environmental effects). The objective of this research is to develop a user-friendly computer application using an […]

Nicholas’ research will be used to help Daxsonics Ultrasound develop state-of-the-art ultrasound imaging by utilizing new techniques to rapidly generate and capture high resolution image frames. By capturing high-resolution frames ‘ultrafast’, Nicholas will generate high quality, real-time images, that are capable of visualizing slow blood flow in microvasculature.

The advancement in flexible high-performance plastics has stimulated worldwide research and development to expand the use of these materials in versatile products. In particular, their flexibility offers more comfort and ease of handling and installation, as compared to alternative hard materials. On the other hand, rising global concerns over plastic pollution, along with known chemical […]

Le projet de recherche consiste en une exploration des données lifestyle dans l’optique de prédire différents comportements. Les données sur le mode de vie génèrent des informations permettant d’en savoir plus sur les citoyens. Des liens ont notamment été établis entre la consommation de latte et le vote libéral ou encore entre le style vestimentaire […]

The proposed project is focused on developing practical methods to quickly and accurately estimate the effective thermal resistances (R-value) of different masonry wall systems. The R-values of various walls are needed by the internship partner and its member organizations for showing that their wall designs comply with the new building codes. To develop the practical […]

The project will attempt to extract useful information from emails as well as attempt to classify emails as meeting intent or not. The proposed project deals with attempting to leverage current machine learning and natural language processing techniques to build a prototype that can solve the above problems. This will benefit the company by not […]
