Nowadays, the banking sector has undergone a massive transformation of its services from e-banking to smart banking that implements modern technologies to provide a more innovative experience for customers. This project addresses the challenge of providing a smart banking conversational service as a new-generation self-service in order to improve customer experience and satisfaction. The purpose […]

La plupart des personnes autistes souhaitent être autonomes dans une majorité des sphères de leur vie, particulièrement dans celle de l’hébergement. Toutefois, plusieurs obstacles peuvent se présenter à eux tels que le manque de ressources résidentielles adaptées et l’arrêt des services de soutien. C’est dans cette optique que la Fondation Véro & Louis (FVL) a […]

Le besoin grandissant d’espaces verts en temps de pandémie, l’engouement croissant pour le plein air ainsi que le développement domiciliaire à proximité du Parc du Mont-Bellevue amplifient les pressions anthropiques sur ses écosystèmes. Dans l’optique d’assurer la protection à long terme du parc, l’Université de Sherbrooke et la Ville de Sherbrooke envisagent de restaurer les […]

The objective of the project is to automate the detection of pavement defects. Defects can be of different types: cracks, deformations, potholes and others. These defects are cataloged and detailed in standards established by the Quebec Ministry of Transport in Quebec and various authorities in other regions of the world. At present, the inspection of […]

Children with musculoskeletal disorders, such as Cerebral Palsy (CP), must follow regular, intensive rehabilitation to improve their movement patterns and walking ability. Often, these protocols are perceived negatively by children, who would rather play and have fun. The use of active video game based training programs could help reduce participant attrition while improving engagement and […]

Can health be understood differently in different cultures? Many studies (Murray & al., 2018; Glouberman & Millar, 2003) have already investigated the level and distribution of health in Canada. There are also studies assessing health literacy and its possible improvement among Aboriginal people (Smylie, Williams & Cooper, 2006). However, there are few (if any) studies […]

La sclérose en plaque est une maladie auto-immune du cerveau et de la moelle épinière, c’est-à-dire que les globules blancs qui normalement protègent le corps vont reconnaitre des éléments du soi comme étranger et dégrader. Cette dégradation va engendrer une inflammation et une infiltration des globules blancs dans le cerveau et la moelle épinière causant […]

The research proposed will produce critical knowledge relevant to the cannabis industry, allowing for the production of high-quality plant material with optimum cannabinoid concentrations. The project will investigate a rare earth element supplemental fertilizer (REAP) effects on cannabis growth, flower yield and cannabinoid concentrations. We will evaluate application of REAP at three rates and hypothesize […]

Le projet consiste à la mise en place d’une plateforme informative disponible aux PMEs sur les quatre volets de la rémunération globale, soit la rémunération direction, les avantages sociaux, le climat de travail et le développement professionnels. L’objectif est de permettre aux PMEs de se référer à une banque de données présentée sous forme d’indicateurs […]

The COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on everyone and was heavily covered by the media. Studies have shown that the pandemic itself and the media coverage might have influenced the number of adverse drug reactions that were reported to regulatory agencies. This project aims at determining how it affected the reporting of all adverse drug […]

The proposed research aims to 3D print a series of heat exchangers in plastic and metal to optimize the pressure drop and heat transfer. An initial prototype will produce experimental data to validate a numerical model, which can then be used to rapidly evaluate future heat exchanger designs. Optimizing the pressure drop and heat transfer […]

Prostate Cancer has become the most diagnosed cancer in men in Canada. Nanoparticles have a myriad of unique properties, the most striking is their incredible ability to absorb light and convert this energy into intense heat. Therefore, the placement of particles to a tumor, dissipating extreme near-field energy, would cause complete ablation. In realizing this […]
