The certification of food products, their authenticity and origins has become a growing priority amongst consumers and producers. The differentiation of the different Canadian maple groves necessitates the development and implementation of forensic tools to link maple syrups to their corresponding terroir. Strontium (Sr) isotopes have shown to reflect the local geological conditions of the […]

This project will shed new light on the interrelations between creative writing and translation in understudied contemporary Canadian Francophone works. Firstly, contemporary Francophone writer-translators of Montréal will be analysed; secondly, interrelations between the aspects of translation in Montréal’s cityscape, soundscape and literatures will be investigated; thirdly, the process of translation will be employed as a […]

People acquire Toxoplasma gondii infection most often by one of two routes: by consuming either bradyzoite-stage parasites from infected meat, or oocyst-stage parasites from contaminated environments. It is important to be able to identify how people become infected with this parasite, for several reasons. Firstly, because this information could be important for predicting how ill […]

In the last few years, a high increase in the interest of traders and investors towards financial instruments directly led to an important augmentation of the information received daily by exchanges.

Le prajet consiste a extraire, a partir d’un tres grand volume de courriels, un vocabulaire structure qui pourra etre mis a profit pour l’elaboration d’une politique de retention et de controle. Plus precisement, des methodes seront developpees pour l’extraction d’un ensemble de termes pertinents puis, dans un deuxieme temps, l’ensemble des relations pertinentes dans lesquelles […]

Currently, the service provided by GRAD4 allows buyers to upload their designs for quotes from the suppliers. However, there is no initial manufacturability check for buyers to evaluate their parts before submitting their quotes. Buyers may get feedback from the suppliers, which indicates that their parts are not able to be manufacturable after a several-days […]

Underground metro infrastructures are subjected to different types of dynamic loads that would hinder their ability to function properly. This proposed research aims to assess the risks of city-scale underground tunnel networks under both periodic human-induced vibrations (i.e., blasting and drilling vibrations) and short-term extreme earthquake hazards. We will develop a GIS model for the […]

Ainsi, l’objectif principal de ce projet est de développer une méthode basée sur les techniques d’observation de la Terre (OT) afin d’évaluer les effets de la réhabilitation de corridors de transport en Irak sur le développement d’infrastructures économiques et sociales. L’approche sera basée sur l’application de l’apprentissage profond aux images satellites THR pour la détection […]

Devant le problème grandissant des matières résiduelles issues de l’industrie de la construction et de la démolition au niveau mondial ; et face aux diverses possibilités d’utilisation des panneaux de placo – plâtre, tant en termes de possibilités industrielles qu’en termes de protection de l’environnement, un programme d’évaluation spécifique sur ces matériaux a été développé […]

Le but de ce projet est d’évaluer les impacts des programmes sociaux et des projets de développement à partir de données d’enquêtes collectées avant et pendant la pandémie de COVID-19. Un premier objectif sera de recenser les méthodes et les approches économétriques pour l’analyse des effets causaux. Sur la base de ce travail, les données […]

La cueillette de champignons ectomycorhiziens comestibles gagne beaucoup en popularité dans le Bas-St-Laurent.
