This project is part of a longstanding continuous collaboration between Ultra and École de technologie supérieure that seeks to leverage the advancements of artificial intelligence (AI) to design a comprehensive framework for a robust ad-hoc underwater tactical wireless networks (AUTWNs). The network will be featured with privacy preserving mechanism to assist threat classification and self-organizing […]

One of the important problems in farming is to decide on variable fertilizer rates based on the inputs about varying soil types and some other factors. This is a key component for optimizing productivity and sustainability in precision agriculture. The main objective of this project is to use datasets captured by satellite imaging to develop […]

Human’s gait, and activity monitoring play important roles in many applications that can have a positive impact on improving the ability of individuals to be as independent, secure, and healthy as possible. Most existing technologies rely on cameras and wearables, while people are not always compliant and need to be wearing them with a battery […]

Two types of color changes occur in potato, raw potato darkening and after cooking darkening. We are investigating the factors behind each type of darkening in three potato cultivars (Chieftain, Goldrush, and Yukon Gold). Effect of digging method (hand/mechanical) and storage time (after 3, 5, and 7 mo) were studied to find if the digging […]

An inclusive economy aims to provide all members of society with the opportunity to contribute to and benefit from a community’s economic activities and systems. Calgary Economic Development acknowledges that helping all Calgarians achieve their personal potentials is imperative to leveraging Calgary’s rich diversity to bring innovation and creativity into our industries and businesses. However, […]

Both global warming and increasing supply of nickel and cobalt are urgently world-wide issues to be addressed. Mineral carbonation is a promising method to permanently store greenhouse gas CO2 into stable mineral carbonates but energy-intensive requirements and low-value products limit the successful application. Meanwhile, with the increasing demand on global nickel and cobalt supply for […]

Accurately recommending items of interests is essential for users to improve their experience. To acquire better performance, a recommender system can utilize multiple sources of data and the social knowledge graph. This can lead to efficient use of information to improve the recommender system. By exploring the data and extract crucial features to feed to […]

De plus en plus de projets d’infrastructure sont réalisés entièrement par ordinateur. Bentley Systems développe plusieurs logiciels permettant la création, la revue et la visualisation de ces modèles 3D, sous forme de maillages (mesh) ou de modèles CAD/CAO. Bien que ces représentations offrent des possibilités inédites pour les experts, elles se révèlent difficiles à utiliser […]

L’identification représente un enjeu important en cybersécurité parce que, si une entité non-autorisée arrive à se faire passer pour une entité autorisée qui demande l’accès à un système, cela mène généralement à un vol de données. Au-delà de l’enjeu technique, il s’agit d’un enjeu de confiance : chaque entité doit avoir confiance en l’autre entité […]

Animated fluid effects based on physical simulation have been a staple part of visual effects industry. They are characterized by offline simulation and rendering that produces highfidelity dynamics and visuals. As the technology for computer games advances, the opportunity to create such effects in real-time as either a playback technique or dynamic simulation is becoming […]

Intact Corporation financière est le plus important fournisseur d’assurances multirisques au Canada en primes annuelles. Intact vise à offrir un service de réclamations accéléré à ses clients. Au moment d’ouvrir une réclamation, Intact demande d’ores et déjà à ses clients de fournir des images du véhicule qui permettent d’identifier préalablement la condition générale du véhicule. […]

Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) is a devastating condition that affects an athlete’s short and long-term health and performance. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationships between bone density, microarchitecture, and strength with RED-S risk factors including inadequate nutrition, amenorrhea and stress fractures in elite endurance athletes. Athletes will be recruited […]
