Les milieux humides assurent des fonctions écologiques essentielles : préservation de la biodiversité, séquestration du carbone, régulation des inondations et purification de l’eau. Pourtant, ces écosystèmes sont en déclin rapide, disparaissant à un rythme trois fois plus élevé que les forêts, sous la pression de l’urbanisation, de l’agriculture intensive et de l’extraction des ressources. Bien […]

Ce projet de recherche porte sur l’analyse de deux romans, Allah n’est pas obligé de l’écrivain ivoirien Ahmadou Kourouma et Monkey Beach de l’autrice autochtone canadienne Eden Robinson. L’objectif est d’étudier comment ces auteurs utilisent des formes orales (comme les récits parlés, les proverbes, ou les dialogues familiers) et des structures narratives particulières pour raconter […]

This proposal aims to address a growing challenge in Canada’s financial technology sector that is to analyze ultra-long-term, unstructured financial documents in private markets for explainable decision making. Canadian investors play a significant role in the global private capital market which is estimated by industries to exceed USD $20 trillion by 2030. Unlink public markets, […]

In recent years, Québec’s ski resorts have struggled with mounting electricity expenses. Warmer winters and growing stress on the provincial grid have driven up the energy needed for snow-making, particularly in the run-up to the holiday season. This significant cost is primarily driven by demand charges incurred from the intensive use of snow-making equipment prior […]

Explore how adversarial bots can help players to progress in the mastery of the game through RL and player modeling.

Ce projet vise à utiliser l’intelligence artificielle (IA) pour mieux diagnostiquer et suivre l’évolution de la sclérose en plaques (SEP), une maladie du cerveau et de la moelle épinière qui touche plus de 90?000 Canadiens. En analysant des images du cerveau obtenues par IRM, les chercheurs veulent repérer plus précisément les signes de la maladie […]

Le Centre d’archives régional de Portneuf (CARP) a pour mission de préserver et de faire connaître les archives liées à la région. En 2024, il a franchi une étape importante en se dotant d’une plateforme numérique (appelée AToM) pour mieux gérer, protéger et partager ses collections.

Heart failure is a serious condition that affects millions of people, and doctors need better ways to track how well patients are doing in their daily lives and how their symptoms develop in time. Smartwatches and similar devices could help by measuring movement and activity, but they lack proper standard. Their accuracy can vary between […]

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects about 1 in 10 people in British Columbia, placing a significant strain on the healthcare system. Patient-oriented research (POR) helps improve health outcomes by involving people with lived experience as active partners in research. However, many researchers face challenges to training, making it difficult to adopt POR. This project, in […]

In steel structures, anchor bolts with steel base plates connect steel columns to concrete foundations. These anchors may experience different types of loading, including tension, shear, or combined shear and tension. There are two installation methods for anchors in reinforced concrete: cast-in-place anchors for new construction and post-installed anchors for existing structures. While research on […]

Athletic footwear is designed to enhance performance, comfort, and injury prevention. Current midsoles provide a level of performance that cannot be changed after fabrication, forcing a user to wear different pairs of shoes, each specialized for a given sports activity. For example, running shoes require high energy return for efficiency, whereas basketball shoes prioritize energy […]
