Have you heard about DALL·E 2, Midjourney or Stable Diffusion? Or perhaps you were fooled by the picture of the pope in a puffy white coat, or by some other deepfake memes involving stars and/or politicians? Well, good or bad, these feats are made possible by a technology called generative diffusion models. Although they are […]

Activis souhaite mettre en marché ses solutions auprès des organismes municipaux du Canada et aux États-Unis. Le stage vise à définir et mettre en place une stratégie de prospection et d’acquisition de clients (organismes municipaux) sur la côte Est des États-Unis et en Ontario.

Currently, the growing demand for electrical energy is driving the integration of renewable energy sources into modern power systems. However, integrating renewable systems has increased uncertainty in the operating conditions of the electric system. To address these challenges, the development of algorithms to optimize energy management in power systems, satisfying electricity demand while respecting physical […]

La bactérie Clostridioides difficile (Cd) est la cause principale de diarrhée infectieuse post-antibiotique dans les pays industrialisés (ICD). Bien que l’antibiothérapie soit le traitement standard contre les ICD, elle s’avère souvent inefficace pour empêcher la récurrence de l’infection. La phagothérapie est une alternative thérapeutique prometteuse, qui consiste à utiliser des bactériophages (phages), i.e. des virus […]

Ce stage s’inscrit dans un projet qui a pour objectif d’optimiser les contraintes mécaniques dans les lasers. Afin d’optimiser les résistances dans les lasers, l’optimisation des contacts ohmiques est primordiale. Ainsi, l’objectif de ce stage est d’optimiser les contacts ohmiques pour la fabrication de lasers, visant une faible résistivité. Différents empilements métalliques et d’autres moyens […]

The world’s rising environmental temperatures due to climate change have a severe impact on poultry, which is highly sensitive to heat due to lacking sweat glands and being covered with feathers. Researchers are focused on developing strategies to relieve heat stress in poultry, with dietary interventions being extensively studied. Heat stress affects appetite and animal […]

5G is the latest and fastest wireless internet technology that is not only being used by phone companies, but also in businesses, factories, and the military. As 5G is being used in more places and for different purposes, it gets more complicated and faces more security risks. Imagine many different gadgets, from phones to cars […]

Deamination of cytosine (C) and 5-methylcytosine (5mC) lead to GC to AT point mutations, which represent the major fraction of spontaneous mutations in a variety of genomes. We propose that most GC to AT mutations arise from the initial oxidation of C and 5C by reactive oxygen species followed by deamination of the intrinsic exocyclic […]

Un défi scientifique et technologique contemporain majeur, contribuant à une réponse appropriée à l’ODD N°7 de l’ONU, consiste à impulser un changement de paradigme en passant des batteries lithium-ion (électrolyte liquide/gélifié) à des batteries dites tout-solides (électrolyte (inorganique, polymère) solide) plus sûres et performantes. Au-delà des accélérateurs de développements technologiques que constituent les domaines du […]

Les enjeux de ce projet de recherche se situent dans les transitions du monde agricole, en lien avec le besoin de répondre à la biodiversité, en réponse à la préservation de la planète, au réchauffement climatique et aux changements de comportements alimentaires des consommateurs. Ces transitions transforment les pratiques des agriculteurs, notamment avec des effets […]

One of our research axes concerns the large-scale mechanical characterization of coarse granular materials (CGM). The prime objective of this collaboration is to enhance the database and develop scaling laws for testing CGM on representative small-scaled samples. This effort requires multiscale characterization on a wide range of coarse materials with different lithologies and particle shapes. […]

Hot Jupiters are giant gaseous planets, which orbit their host stars in a few days to hours. Due to these tight orbits, they are expected to rotate synchronously, ie always present the same face to their star. As a consequence, models predict these worlds to present strong westward winds, redistributing the heat from their permanent […]
