With the introduction of numerous automated vehicle development programs, the scientific community has developed several Open Source simulation software packages. The most notable is CARLA: http://carla.org/ With support from the driving simulator team at the Institute for Transport Studies https://uolds.leeds.ac.uk/ the summer intern will use the CARLA environment including both simulation and the Autonomous Driving […]

L’énergie éolienne connaît une croissance importante dans le monde et le Québec suit cette tendance mondiale. En effet, le gouvernement québécois a mis de l’avant des mesures concrètes afin d’encadrer le développement de l’énergie éolienne. Ceci se justifie par le fait que la province possède un potentiel considérable compte tenu de l’immensité de son territoire, […]

Examining the refugee camps in Bamberg, Upper Franconia as study cases, this master thesis will aim to identify different victim groups or divisions within the camps’ population and how the authorities and charities dealt with them. Those include women, children, ethnic or religious groups and disabled persons. Using gender as a category of historical analysis, […]

L’extraction et le partage de données sont au cœur de nombreux défis liés aux systèmes d’information, en particulier dans le domaine médical. C’est pourquoi nous avons développé une méthode de mise en correspondance entre de multiples sources de données médicales et un modèle de connaissance (ontologie). Cette méthode permet, suite à l’intégration d’une source, l’extraction […]

Eye tracking has been a staple of partially automated vehicles for the last several years and forms a standard part of a driver monitoring package: https://www.seeingmachines.com/industry-applications/automotive/ The next step is to understand if drivers are hovering over the steering wheel or pedals in preparation to take control. As part of the HumanDrive project: https://humandrive.co.uk/ we […]

Financial Markets represent complex systems where the dynamics between market participants drive the evolution of prevailing prices. For this reason, it is important for fund managers to understand how these market impacts shape liquidity, transaction costs and equilibrium returns. To cope with the vast uncertainties, the subject of stochastic control provides key insights and critical […]

Large scale monitoring and control systems are being increasingly deployed around us, from intelligent transportation systems to smart grids. In exchange of the benefits supplied by these systems, participating agents are required to continuously share data with these complex systems. This data often consists of highly privacy-sensitive information, including but not limited to location, power […]

The International Olympic Committee (ICO) has been conducting sex tests since 1968, with a hiatus from 1990 to 2009, to determine the biological sex of self-identified female athletes. There have been three iterations of these tests: visual examinations, chromosomal tests, and hormonal tests. This research seeks to understand the justifications used in favor a particular […]

Dans le cadre du régime coopératif de l’Université de Sherbrooke, les étudiants au baccalauréat en génie biotechnologique doivent faire 5 stages. Celui-ci serait en fait le 4 ème du cursus de l’étudiante. Ce stage est offert au centre de recherche CSPBAT, qui est en partenariat avec l’Université de Paris 13 avec, comme superviseure de stage, […]

Coastal areas are some of the most biodiverse environments in the world, and are constantly changing. Therefore, mapping projects for this near-shore area are extremely important. Many mapping procedures include optical methods, such as satellite imagery or underwater video, which is limited in effectiveness by cloud cover or water clarity. Other instruments, such as boat […]

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the lichen Umbilicaria muhlenbergii fraction(s) on osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma cells. MTT assay will demonstrate the activity of these fraction(s) against cancer cells. Appoptosis and inhibition growth analyses will be examined. The following objectives in the allocated time of five months (June 1-October 30, 2019) […]

D’après plusieurs données climatiques, on observe que les précipitations enregistrées au Québec augmentent considérablement de l’ouest vers l’est, et un peu moins du nord vers le sud. Connaissant le rôle majeur que jouent les feux dans la dynamique de la végétation en forêts boréales, nous nous interrogeons donc sur l’influence qu’auraient les variations climatiques en […]
