Implémentation d’un système simple de contrôle de processus dans un système ExAO incluant des effecteurs. Le didacticiel produit devrait faciliter la programmation par des étudiants de niveau collège d’un système de contrôle avec des instructions simples et explicites.

Dans le domaine de la spectroscopie infrarouge, nous utilisons des sources infrarouges à large bande afin d’illuminer les échantillons observés. La méthode traditionnelle est d’utiliser des éléments chauffants avec une bonne émissivité à haute température, environ 1,000 °C. Actuellement, les défis majeurs pour la conception de source de lumière infrarouge sont i) la grande consommation […]

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become increasingly used in the fields of data collection, surveillance, and search and rescue missions. For many UAVs, knowledge of the instantaneous wind speed and direction and overall wind field are of interest, as this knowledge can help better control the position and orientation of the UAV in heavy wind. […]

This proposal is for the development and optimization of light emitting diodes (LEDs) for plant growth. The development of LEDs over the complete range (and beyond) of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR: 400 – 700nm) now allows focused research into the effect of wavelength on specific plant responses. The LEDs produce light in a narrow spectrum […]

Les pompes centrifuges multiétages sont des équipements sous pression travaillant sous des conditions sévères où le débit et la pression de fluides varient d’une façon cyclique. Le fluide est aspiré au niveau du premier étage à une faible pression et est refoulé à haute pression au dernier étage à travers la section dite de décharge. […]

Monitoring human activity and fall events is the cornerstone of medical applications. The rising costs of healthcare and the aging of the population are factors that influence researches in the medical industry, mainly for the development of assisted living and smart home. Several technologies have been proposed in the literature for monitoring people and health […]

Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) is a progressive condition in the aging male characterized by increased abnormal prostate growth leading to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). BPH affects from 25% of men in their fifties to over 50% of men over 80 years. While surgical intervention remains the main treatment of BPH, it poses the risk […]

In this project, we propose the use of blockchains to provide reliability, security, and transparency for collecting and querying IoT data in the energy sector. In particular, we will implement and evaluate our blockchain solution for enabling transactions in local energy markets, where homeowners have the capacity to generate energy (through renewables), stock energy (through […]

La cellulose nanocristalline (CNC) possède une résistance mécanique importante, comparable au Kevlar ou à l’acier. De nature biosourcée, c’est donc un excellent candidat pour renforcer une matrice polymère. Mais sa nature polaire la rend incompatible avec une matrice apolaire : une modification de surface est nécessaire. Pour cela, une méthode aux conditions douces et en […]

Diets which reduce carbohydrate intake and increase protein intake, such as Atkins diet, are popular and effective for weight loss. However, such diets may negatively affect cardiovascular health by increasing atherosclerotic plaque formation, and overall lead to higher mortality. Vuckovic and Bergdahl previously used mouse model that mimics spontaneous formation of atherosclerotic plaques in humans […]

Advanced energy storage materials are essential to the continued economic prosperity of our society, as we move towards the electrification of the transportation industry and the further development of our renewable energy resources. Accelerating the pace of discovery and development in advanced energy storage materials will therefore be vital to maintaining economic competitiveness in the […]

Sleep disturbance is one of the major complaints in patients after major surgery, which can impair to postoperative recovery. Exercise may be an effective non-pharmacological intervention to improve sleep for patients with advanced cancer. The main objective of this proposal is to evaluate the relationships between physical exercises and sleep parameters before surgical procedures and […]
