Understanding the Uses and Benefits of Haptic Integration within Virtual Simulations

Healthcare learners use simulations to train their skills prior to treating real patients. These simulations can happen in-person (e.g., role playing) or they can happen virtually using gamified educational software. One drawback of using many of these virtual simulations is that many do not provide the healthcare learner with force-based feedback (e.g., haptics). For example, […]

Modeling and Characterization of Interlayer Weld Formation During Fused Filament Fabrication

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is the most widely used additive manufacturing technique,involving a movable heated nozzle through which a molten thermoplastic polymer fiber is extruded onto a platform. Deposited filaments weld together and solidify to form a layer, and successive layers form the final part. In most scientific literature, incomplete weld formation between the filaments […]

Topological optimization of ecological and lightweight composite floors made by wood, UHPC and polymeric fibers

Construction industry is responsible for emitting a significant amount of CO2. To stay within the scope of 1.5°C increase in atmosphere temperature by 2050, It is essential to reduce the embodied carbon of buildings. Mass timber buildings become more popular in the construction industry and the tendency to move toward more sustainable materials has increased. […]

Analyse automatique des inégalités de genre dans les médias français et québécois

Ce projet a pour but de faire communiquer le projet GenderedNews et le projet Mind The Gap. Ces deux projets utilisent des technologies automatiques et des méthodes innovantes issues du Traitement Automatique du Langage Naturel (TALN) pour mesurer les inégalités de genre dans les médias francophones. Le projet Mind The Gap s’intéresse aux représentations des […]
