Le secteur de production de légumes biologiques en serre de plein sol est en essor au Québec. Afin de répondre à cette demande et si l’on veut accroître et la productivité de ces cultures et augmenter les superficies en mesure de produire 10-12 mois par année, il est impératif de combler les lacunes sérieuses en […]

The average human consumes a credit card worth of plastic every week as a result of environmental microplastics. The tools and technology that are currently used to analyze chemical compound structures to identify polymer types in microplastics research are not well-calibrated for field-specific use. Raman spectroscopy data from microplastics samples is imperfect. Furthermore, plastics that […]

When a citizen collapses from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), it must be recognized before anyone can call 9-1-1 or bystanders can start cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). In more than 75% of all SCAs, no one is there to witness the event, and resultant survival is near 0%. To address delays in detecting SCA and administering CPR, […]

Pilots are responsible for the safe operations of airplanes in complex environments. Therefore, is it essential that pilots receive high quality training. High quality training is dependent on instructor’s ability to provide constructive feedback and help pilots perform to the best of their abilities. The recent development of portable biometric sensors, such as the Apple […]

Photonic integrated circuits allow the computations required for artificial neural networks to be performed using light. By doing so, they obviate many of the challenges associated with electronic computers, paving the way to a new class of information processing hardware. Such hardware could help address the growing demand for machine learning and artificial intelligence in […]

Virtual environments represented by multibody system models play an important role in many applications. Adding the possibility of the user directly interacting with such environments via physical touch using haptics can significantly enhance the usability and range of application of simulated environments. In this project we particularly target two main objectives: (1) the multirate-simulation and […]

In this project, we focus on increasing sales in e-commerce shops by offering purchasing incentives to shoppers who are likely to leave without buying. More specifically, our goal is to predict which shoppers are likely to abandon their shopping cart and what can be done while they’re still on the site to customize their shopping […]

The allergen inhalation challenge model is an important research technique for asthma drug development, and has been used for many years by the AllerGen CIC consortium of Canadian investigators in their evaluations of new asthma therapies. An alternate nebulizer is needed for performing inhaled allergen challenges, and this device needs to be tested for its […]

Canola is an important oilseed crop grown across Saskatchewan for its high quality oil. Canola has a very distinct reproductive stage due to its yellow color flowers. Therefore canola fields can be very clearly identified when observed through satellites with medium resolution. This leads to numerous potential applications, and one such application is in-season canola […]

The current version of the Integrated Biomass Supply Analysis (IBSAL) model is deterministic. As such, the uncertainty surrounding the results obtained cannot be studied or quantified. The focus of this research project is to incorporate uncertainty into the model in order to make it more realistic, provide additional insights into its properties and potentially suggest […]

Canada is a global leader in the aerospace manufacturing industry. Canadian companies produce complex assemblies and system solutions including carbon fiber composite panels used in the body of airplanes. Manufacturing of such panels requires a significant number of operations such as trimming, drilling, and abrasion. Currently, some of these operations are performed manually, which is […]

Le projet vise la mesure de l’expérience de marque en vue d’apporter des recommandations qui améliorons l’expérience de marque pour l’entreprise La Distillerie. L’expérience de marque englobe l’ensemble des points de contacts et interactions entre le consommateur et la marque qui améliore la qualité perçue. La mesure de l’expérience de marque de marque fut très […]
