Le conducteur est un élément critique d’une ligne de transport d’électricité. Il est sujet à la corrosion affectant significativement sa durée de vie. Hydro-Quebec surveille avec un vif interet l’etat de corrosion de ses 34 000 km de lignes haute tension et voudrait estimer dynamiquement l’état de cet actif majeur pour optimiser sa valeur d’un […]

Considering the continually growing energy demands and concerns about climate change due to anthropogenic CO2 generated from fossil fuels, there has been a global endeavor to transition towards low-carbon renewable energy sources, particularly photovoltaic technologies. Organic solar cells (OSCs) are ideal candidates for low-cost PV technologies thanks to the possibility of large-scale device fabrication by […]

Le chantier transport durable des denrées – volet sécurité alimentaire a été ciblé comme une priorité régionale et le Carrefour bioalimentaire Laurentides a coordonné l’élaboration d’un plan de transport durable ainsi que sa mise en oeuvre. À la suite de nombreuses consultations regroupant les partenaires, le plan de transport durable a permis de se doter […]

Le présent projet de recherche vise à établir le rôle essentiel que jouent les techniques cinématographiques numériques récentes dans la méthode de travail du cinéaste Abdellatif Kechiche, et leur impact sur l’esthétique de ses films. Par sa pratique unique, le cinéma d’Abdellatif Kechiche constitue une étude de cas exemplaire pour continuer à comprendre les mutations […]

Urbanization can have a strong impact on biodiversity. In particular, the changes in temperature, habitat fragmentation and pollution are expected to affect the species that are present in cities, both directly and indirectly via their effects on other species. In this proposal, we aim to test if certain plant reproductive strategies are favoured by urbanization. […]

Changes brought to the ecosystem and geopolitical environment can have an effect on several fields including the healthcare system. Recently, we observed the impact that COVID-19 pandemic has had on the healthcare workers’ practices and people’s behaviour regarding their health status. Changes in spontaneous reporting trends were also observed. Lately, Europe has also witnessed the […]

The success of assisted reproductive techniques (ART) in overcoming infertility or improving livestock genetic traits is undeniable. However, the use of ART in livestock has also been associated with an increased likelihood of certain anomalies (e.g., large offspring syndrome, musculoskeletal anomalies) and neonatal mortality because of suboptimal culture conditions. Our partner, L’Alliance Boviteq (Semex) has […]

Nearly a fifth (18%) of treated water entering Canadian water networks never reaches the end user. Many cities in Canada experience leakage rates of over 30%. Thus, there is a clear opportunity to implement new leak detection technologies, such as those offered by WaSave, to reduce water wastage. This project will analyse the Canadian water […]

This partnership aims to improve the robustness of laying hens to better cope with nutritional, immune, and environmental stresses and thus improve their productivity and longevity in a context of lengthening of laying cycles. Indeed, successfully keeping the laying hens to 100 weeks is no longer the exception and there is a tendency for extending […]

This project is about studying the effects of mindfulness and indigenous dance movement in adults with anxiety. Anxiety is a highly treatable disorder, however, less than half of people with anxiety receive treatment and the few that receive treatment, default. Social support and cultural understanding of mental illness has been identified as potential areas of […]

Aujourd’hui, le processus actuel de contrôle de la qualité dans les industries alimentaires et de l’électronique imprimée ne répond pas parfaitement aux besoins des industriels. Le plastique, à titre d’exemple, est un contaminant qui est très nuisible et complexe à détecter pour les industriels du secteur alimentaire avec les technologies actuelles. Au cours des deux […]

Magnetic field sensing is intrinsically sensitive to its environment. In this project, we are developing compensation tools to mitigate against different types of magnetic noise to enhance the accuracy of a quantum magnetometer and of a platform including multiple magnetometers. Data will be collected at various magnetic characterization facilities to inform a ML based correction […]
