Le développement durable en milieux estuariens est largement impacté par le transport de sédiments cohésifs (vases ou boues). Or l’étude de leurs lois de transport (érosion, sédimentation) se heurte à de nombreuses difficultés à la fois pratiques (prélèvement, mise en place) et fondamentales (transition solide/liquide, rhéologie complexe). Le transport des sédiments est un sujet qui […]

In this project, we build on these preliminary works and explore the capabilities of different machine learning techniques anomaly detections and predictions of network degradation issues. We also plan to develop ap-proaches to help Cable Network Operation teams triage and diagnose cable network issues efficiently. The results of this project will help Cable Network companies […]

Outsourcing of product research and development has been a growing trend in the pharmaceutical industry over the last decade. Allegorical evidence garnered from interactions with clinical research professionals indicate that employees of outsourced firms tend to have lower job satisfaction, morale, and commitment to their jobs than their counterparts working in innovative pharmaceutical companies. This […]

This project aims to predict demand and inventory shortages for better inventory management in health care institutions. This will initially allow for a reduction in the expenses generated by emergency orders placed during a stock shortage. Indeed, it will be possible for the establishment to order a larger quantity of the product from the supplier […]

L’objectif de cette recherche est d’étudier et améliorer les performances d’un rotor de queue d’hélicoptère novateur. Le concept à l’étude fait usage de plusieurs hélices fixées sur des moteurs électriques pour générer une poussée. Ce concept se veut intéressant pour plusieurs raisons notamment la réduction des émissions sonores, la réduction de la consommation énergétique et […]

La pandémie COVID-19 offre une occasion unique d’observer l’impact d’un facteur exogène qui crée une grande incertitude dans la gestion des entreprises, d’une part, et génère des conditions pouvant avoir un impact sur la santé mentale (ex. confinement prolongé, perte d’un emploi, peur de la maladie, etc.), d’autre part. Comprendre comment les entrepreneurs vont affronter […]

Malgré la forte croissance des protéines émergentes et alternatives, la consommation de protéines conventionnelles telles que issues de l’œuf continue d’augmenter. Le jaune d’œuf reste très peu valorisé du fait de ces propriétés fonctionnelles limitées. Néanmoins, dernièrement, des travaux ont démontré que l’application des hautes pressions hydrostatiques (HPH – technologie mature et à faible impact […]

Just as every computer needs a processor, every processor needs a cooling system. Without one, the significant heat generated by the processor will overheat the system. As time has advanced, this heating issue has only become more critical, thus necessitating the advent of more effective cooling solutions. Microgaps, which pass coolant through, as the name […]

The surgical practices involving fat are constantly evolving at the cutting edge of technology. Procedures involving fat manipulation, such as liposuction, contain a degree of subjectivity which is mainly guided by the surgeon’s visual or tactile perception of the underlying fat. This lack of subjectivity raises an important issue regarding the surgeon’s ability to replicate […]

Currently, the service provided by GRAD4 has an interface for visualization of CAD models. However, there is still room for improvement in speed and comprehensibility for the users: both manufacturers and buyers. The main challenge of implementing the improvements is in relatively high computational cost of such visualizations: while a regular PC handles such task […]

In recent years, automation has become more accessible to small- and medium-sized businesses, leading to an increase in popularity of ultra-compact and easy-to-integrate industrial robot arms like Mecademic’s Meca500. However, because of their size constraints, it is harder for these robots to accurately follow a programmed path. This research project aims to improve the path-tracking […]

Mon projet de recherche se concentre sur la perception de la ville de Montréal qu’ont les femmes autochtones. Je vais, au travers de ma problématique, essayer de saisir en quoi cette perception de la ville est liée aux rapports de domination, et plus particulièrement les violences subies. A travers plusieurs sous-questions et à l’aide du […]
