Overhead lines (OHL) and other components of the electricity transmission network are designated as critical infrastructures. In order to provide the level of performance required of such facilities, efficient asset management practices must be tailored to the specific characteristics of these assets. The proposed research aims to develop such a process for OHL equipped with […]

The food distribution chain plays a crucial role in sustainable development, connecting various sectors like agriculture, transportation, and other services resulting to a wide number of both direct and indirect stakeholders. However, it receives less attention despite its vitality for managing sustainability. In these present times, as the society and government demands complete disclosure of […]

This project aims to explore how state-of-the-art deep learning models can accurately identify and label musical sections like the “verse” and “chorus” across various musical genres. The research will begin by examining available datasets for music structural segmentation, as well as recent deep learning methods suitable for this data. Following the exploration of available data […]

La majeure partie des collections précolombiennes possédées par les institutions muséales n’ont généralement pas de données sur l’origine et les artistes autochtones qui les ont créées sont inconnus. Puisque les œuvres d’art découlent de dons faits par des particuliers, la grande majorité des informations contenues dans les archives sur ces pièces céramiques concernent les donateurs […]

In the last twenty years, many efforts have been made to study the incredible properties that boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) and nanosheets (BNNSs) have presented since their discovery, especially through their excellent performance in the aerospace industry. In parallel, bio-based materials such as nanocellulose have been considered a cheap and attractive material for developing nanocomposites […]

In recent years, lignin valorization has been given more attention by the scientific community, hoping to make breakthroughs in the field. Thus, this project aims to attribute value to lignin biomass (sugarcane bagasse and sugarcane straw from Brazil and kraft lignin from Canada), an industry by-product that is currently being discarded as industrial waste on […]

This project aims to make quadruped robots smarter and more versatile by adding a 360-degree camera and a robot arm into a reinforcement learning control system. The quadruped robots will undergo training with these upgrades in a simulation environment before being deployed in real-world scenarios. These upgrades will help the robots better understand their surroundings […]

Cette démarche collective permettra à l’ensemble des partenaires du milieu culturel de contribuer au développement de savoirs. Le centre […]

La transformation numérique des entreprises a connu une grande accélération ces derniers mois. Les bénéfices escomptés sont multiples, allant d’une augmentation de la productivité à un meilleur service client, en passant par une réduction des échanges papiers, ce qui est bénéfique pour l’environnement. La transformation numérique des entreprises, soit l’ajout de nouvelles technologies et/ou nouveaux […]

Le projet vise à réaliser une analyse approfondie des récents audits de cybersécurité menés par l’ERAC Gaspésie auprès d’une trentaine d’entreprises manufacturières de la région. L’objectif est de dresser un portrait clair de la situation actuelle en matière de cyber-risques et de mesures de protection dans ce secteur névralgique. Les audits réalisés ont permis d’identifier […]

Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic condition that leads to brittle bones and mild to severe bone deformities. People with OI often experience pain, discrimination, fear of breaking bones, and frequent hospitalizations. Because the condition is rare, the experiences of children with OI are not well understood by healthcare providers, who often lack guidelines […]
