Theoretically sound and industry-robust software measures are necessary to identify and select the most productive software development organizations (internal and external) and avoid significant overspending on software investments. Functional sizing measures, such as COSMIC Function Points – ISO 19761 – are necessary for the quantitative planning, monitoring, control, and objective assessment of software projects. Huge […]

Les techniques de génie végétal reposent sur l’utilisation de végétaux vivants pour différents usages, notamment la protection des cours d’eau contre l’érosion. Utilisées comme alternative au génie civil, elles offrent de nombreux bénéfices pour l’environnement (maintien ou restauration des habitats, corridor écologique, amélioration de la qualité physico-chimique de l’eau), et pour les sociétés (lutte contre […]

Ce projet vise à poser un diagnostic du tourisme durable dans les régions de la Mauricie, Lanaudière, la Montérégie et des Îles de la Madeleine. Il est aussi question de développer et de mettre en place un système de gestion de gaz à effet de serre (GES) par le biais de calculateurs de GES pour […]

Norethindrone, the first oral contraceptive, is noted as one of the most pivotal molecules to be introduced into society. When introduced in 1960, norethindrone caused a societal paradigm shift by allowing for family planning and providing women with more agency over their reproductive system. Unsurprisingly, the women’s liberation movement, rise of feminism, and the increased […]

The increased energy prices and effects of climate change are severely impacting the day-to-day lives of Canadians. Moreover, essential sectors such as agriculture release substantial amounts of greenhouse gases, adding to climate change challenges. Hence, investing in local and sustainable energy sources is more critical now than ever to reduce these burdens. Therefore, biogas generation […]

Augmented reality (AR) is poised to transform human interactions. This project aims to explore the use of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for the development of compact and high-performance image projectors, also called “light engines”, for AR glasses. PICs are a type of integrated circuit that uses light instead of electricity to perform various functions, such […]

Conventional Li-ion batteries using liquid electrolytes (LEs) are suffering from insufficient energy density and safety issues when used for the flourishing market of electric vehicles (EVs). Replacing LEs with solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) to fabricate all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) has been regarded as an essential route to improve energy density and safety. Basically, a qualified SSE […]

Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability, with long-term hand function impairments being the most common symptom among stroke survivors. As hand function plays a vital role in performing everyday activities, individuals with stroke face a significant impact in their quality of life including their ability to maintain independence, employment, and socially connectedness. To […]

We will create a tool that leverages advanced Natural Language Processing techniques to identify various named entities and their relationships from the ample of police case files containing text data. We will also create a validation tool and a visualization tool that will help us create a trustable AI tool for advanced police case file […]

Millions of animals are used in research each year. This practice is justified by the expectation that the benefits of such research will be significant, outweighing the harms imposed on animals during experiments. Indeed, animal research has led to countless improvements in human health and quality of life. However, there is growing concern that current […]

In 2021, over 2.2 billion doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines were produced to combat a truly devastating pandemic. Such medications represent the fastest vaccines ever to be developed, with some of the highest efficiencies reported. The above vaccines contain messenger RNA (“mRNA”) trapped inside lipid nanoparticles (“LNPs”), which are globules composed of […]

The partner organization’s proposed role in the project is to lead all the initiatives in this project and collaborate closely with the academic partner in choosing the right approach to tackle the information retrieval and question answering problems. The partner organization will benefit through improvements to its product and the outcome of this research will […]
