The increasing demand for reliable wireless communication systems in underground mining environments has driven the need for innovative, low-cost, and resilient solutions. Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) present a promising approach to enhance signal propagation and ensure continuous, high-quality communication in these complex, obstructed settings. However, the successful deployment of RIS technology depends not only on […]

Ce projet de recherche cherche à comprendre comment les couples gèrent leurs désaccords lorsque leurs objectifs sont opposés. Par exemple, si une personne veut discuter d’un problème (objectif d’approche) tandis que l’autre préfère l’éviter (objectif d’évitement), cela peut créer des tensions. L’étude veut savoir si ces différences entraînent plus d’émotions négatives comme la frustration ou […]

The main objective of this project is to develop and characterize innovative and sustainable materials for energy storage devices. In alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the project will investigate using renewable phenolic sources (such as tannin) and industrial waste (such as kraft black liquor) as precursors for synthesizing carbonaceous materials and composites. This […]

The purpose of this project is to contribute to our understanding of the development of Yogacara (Jp. Hosso) thought in pre-modern Japan between Heian and Kamakura periods (794-1333). To do so, it examines the writings of the Hosso monk-scholar Jokei (1155-1213), a neglected yet important reformer who lived in an era marked by political instability […]

Concussions pose a critical health risk in sports and other high-impact environments, yet timely and accurate diagnosis remains a challenge. Existing tools are expensive, non-portable, and impractical for field use, leading to delayed or missed diagnoses and increased long-term health risks. Concusono is revolutionizing concussion detection with a novel AI-driven portable ultrasound device that provides […]

Un problème réel dans l’industrie des transformateurs de puissance est le manque d’outils et de méthodes précises pour déterminer l’état et la durée de vie de l’isolation principale. Ces appareils onéreux, composés d’enroulement de cuivre isolés par du papier et le tout baignant dans une huile isolante, représentent le coeur de tous réseaux électriques. Le […]

This project will extend the Maximal Covering Location Problem with Accessibility Indicators (MCLPA) by incorporating mobile units (MUs) to enhance service areas and optimize accessibility. The proposed Maximal Covering Location Problem with Accessibility Indicators and Mobile Units (MCLPAMU) will consider facilities and MUs with varying service areas and capacities, as well as customer mobility areas.
