Improved Surveillance and Flight Efficiency using Autonomous Soaring

To address the challenge of increasing flight endurance for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), a novel technique involving the exploitation of atmospheric energy, typically by soaring in thermal updrafts, is being developed. The AUTOSOAR algorithm developed in a previous Mitacs project permits the UAV to rely less on its onboard motor to maintain altitude, and reduce […]

Verrous et leviers d’acceptabilité des projets de rues conviviales en Amérique du Nord

La recherche éclaire trois défis auxquels sont confrontées les municipalités dans les projets d’aménagement de « Rues conviviales » (RC) qu’elles réalisent. Ces projets suscitent parfois des réticences au sein des services municipaux, lors de la conception et la gestion de ces nouveaux espaces. Des oppositions voire des conflits peuvent aussi émerger au sein des […]

Raffinement d’un modèle biomécanique de la tête pour l’étude des impacts répétés sous-commotionnels

Le cerveau fait partie des structures complexes les plus remarquables et importantes du corps humain. Le maintien de son intégrité est crucial. Insidieusement, dans les sports de contact, le cerveau est exposé à des impacts répétés asymptomatiques dits « sous-commotionnels » associés à des altérations progressives susceptibles de causer des maladies neurodégénératives. Malheureusement, la réponse […]

Développement de vaccins multivalent vivant atténué contre les infections respiratoires causées par les Escherichia coli pathogènes aviaires

Les Escherichia coli pathogènes aviaires (APEC) sont des pathotypes particulièrement importants pour l’industrie avicole, car il provoque la colibacillose, une maladie entraînant des pertes économiques importantes en raison de la mortalité et/ou de la baisse de productivité des oiseaux affectés. Étant donné que plusieurs souches d’APEC sont impliquées dans les épidémies, le développement de vaccins […]

Behavioral Model of Charge-Trap Transistors

Conventional von Neumann architectures rely heavily on communication between memory and compute elements, making them power hungry. In recent years, therefore, neuromorphic computing based on low-power compute-inmemory devices has been gaining interest. One of the essential aspects of such systems is the hardware modeling of synapses that are expected to store weights that represent the […]

Managing tree models plasticity and mixing GLMs with regression trees for insurance ratemaking

Predicting policyholders’ claims over a year is crucial for a Property-Casualty insurance company. These expenditures, popularly called losses, are incurred by the insurer when reimbursing the policyholders’ claims. The insurance company is required to pay any legitimate claim made by a policyholder, in exchange the latter pays an amount of money, called the premium, to […]
