The ability of the health system to manage a massive influx of patients is based on the combination of four factors: the personnel, the equipment, the physical spaces and the system in place. A combination better known in jargon as the 4 “S” (staff, stuff, structure / space, system). A fifth factor that is often […]

L’émergence de l’Industrie 4.0 amène les chefs d’entreprise à remettre en question leurs modèles d’affaires et à envisager de quelle façon ces technologies peuvent se combiner pour transformer les produits, les processus et les services offerts. Cette transformation numérique amène inévitablement les entreprises à identifier les fournisseurs de ces technologies et les experts qui peuvent […]

In a recent study conducted in the province of Quebec it was determined that 34% of antimicrobials used on dairies are antimicrobials of very high importance for humans (AKA Category 1 antimicrobials; Lardé et al., personal communication). However, since February 2019, a new regulation restricts their use in food producing animals in Quebec’s province, Thus, […]

Over the last decades, the moose population of New Brunswick has greatly increased, to a point where forest regeneration is locally compromised. Moose browsing can severely influence forest dynamics by altering stand structure and composition and favouring softwood species over hardwoods in mixedwood stands. Hence, it is important to understand the factors influencing moose browsing […]

Food manufacturers experience significant waste when transforming raw materials into refined finished products. In the food processing industries, a single line can have 50% or more of raw materials loss while simultaneously producing varying degrees of quality simply because processing equipment is not optimally configured to the characteristics of the suppliers’ raw materials. Worximity proposes […]

Les pharmacies au détail s’appuient principalement sur leurs propres données empiriques pour planifier et prévoir leurs stocks. Ce type de données a ses propres caractéristiques, qui peuvent être saisonnières et être affectées par des événements spéciaux et imprévus tels que les maladies pandémiques. Toutefois, à mesure que la quantité de données s’accumule, il n’est pas […]

The research project will find optimal conditions for instrument-free, fast, and sensitive/specific detection of pathogen (COVID-19). The project is composed in two units(IU), each module within IU is offering independent technical solution for the current bottleneck in diagnostics industry. The first module is temperature-based denaturation of biological sample, coupled with nucleic acid-based detection (IU1). The […]

Blockchain is a well-known immutable, transparent and anti-counterfeit platform. As such it can be appropriate for submitting certificates for validation and safe-keeping. However, because of its requirements for complex and heavy computations for enhanced security and verification of each submission in the network, in this proposal, we have decided to conduct an experimental study to […]

There is actually a societal challenge here in north America regarding the end-of-life management of used beverage cans (UBCs). China is no longer accepting several of our recyclable waste streams like UBCs. UBCs are made of aluminum that contains some level of magnesium and manganese to modulate the properties of the body and the lid […]

In this project, we replicate the dispatching operation of mineral transportation trucks using a discrete-event simulation model, then we use the data generated by the simulation model to train an AI algorithm to dispatch trucks to loading/unloading shovels. The use of AI in this scheduling problem will improve the system’s performance

Chez l’enfant de 4 à 6 ans, l’approche d’apprentissage par le jeu est recommandée pour stimuler les domaines du développement global : affectif, physique et moteur, social, cognitif et langagier. En ce sens, le jeu musical serait un vecteur artistique pour favoriser le développement de l’enfant. De plus, à l’ère numérique, les jeux éducatifs évoluent […]
