Due to advanced modern technology for continuously measuring and recording data at multiple discrete locations and times, functional data are ubiquitous such as weather data and stock market data. Such kind of data usually has smoothness characteristics in the form of functions with complex structures and can be analyzed through many different techniques developed in […]

Battery chargers are an essential component in electric, plug-in hybrid vehicles and various other clean energy systems. However, the battery charger performance is susceptible to the operating temperature. Thus, an efficient and reliable thermal management system should be developed to address the problems due to induced thermal stress. This project aims to develop a heat […]

Dans un contexte de relance économique, plusieurs acteurs suggèrent que le gouvernement et l’État ont un rôle à jouer, notamment dans l’octroi de contrats publics. Selon certaines théories, les effets de débordements liés à la réalisation des travaux pourraient avoir des effets stimulants sur la création d’entreprises locales, mais également sur le renforcement de la […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à modéliser la stabilité du manteau neigeux en tenant compte de sa variabilité spatiale. Le stage de recherche va permettre de réaliser l’objectif 2 de la thèse de doctorat de l’étudiant qui est d’évaluer l’effet de la variation spatiale des propriétés mécaniques de la neige sur la stabilité d’une pente. […]

At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, financial system regulators around the world took an array of policy measures in order to stimulate credit supply from banks to companies that were temporarily suffering from a drop in revenues. Preventing interruptions in the credit supply during crises is crucial in minimizing damage to the economy and […]

Myocardial infarction is among the most prominent causes of death worldwide. Following cardiac injury, changes in the composition of the extracellular matrix trigger inflammatory and fibrotic responses. Particularly, left ventricular remodeling and cardiac fibrosis are characterized by pathological glycosaminoglycan (GAG) production and ECM rearrangement, which contribute to cardiomyocyte death and subsequent heart failure. Additionally, chondroitin […]

The study of radioactive atoms is a crucial component in understanding the origin of the elements that make up our world. By studying the decay properties of extremely rare ions and their exotic decay processes, we clarify the processes that produce the heavy elements by grounding them in observation, and answer mysteries in nuclear structure. […]

L’objet de ce stage sera d’analyser les figures de rupture au sein de la trap francophone. La trap est un sous-genre du rap apparu dans les années 2000 au sud des États-Unis, caractérisé par son tempo, plus lent que dans le rap traditionnel, ses motifs rythmiques, ses sonorités, ainsi que par les thèmes abordés : […]

The objective of this GRA is to recreate high mobility debris flows in the laboratory to create the novel observations of landslide shear behaviour during flow needed to further refine predictive models of landslide mobility. Specifically, this collaboration is aimed to unlock the synergy between advanced sensor technologies developed by the team at the Technion […]

Measurements of the fundamental properties of neutrons may yield insight into unsolved problems in particle physics and astrophysics. Intense sources of ultracold neutrons, and efficient neutron storage and detection, are needed to make these measurements possible. A new neutron storage vessel, designed and built in Canada, will be tested at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research […]

Being able to analyze a 3D model of a patient’s pelvic bones allows doctors to plan surgeries and diagnosis diseases. With continued improvements in medical imaging and machine learning, it is now fast and accurate to produce these models. However, current techniques rely on CT scans that emit ionizing radiation. This type of radiation is […]

Recent work in the human-robot interaction community has revealed drones as social entities with emotional capabilities, beyond their initial status of mechanical objects. We build upon this work and envision drones as emotional support technology. To evaluate the validity of this concept, we outlined a design space for Emotional Support Drones (ESD) in our preliminary […]
