Ubisoft’s cloud-based video game ecosystems experience the workload up to 5+ millions players in a typical week. Workloads on game servers are of different scales, ranging from tens of clients per game server to thousands of clients for traditional workloads. To guarantee game player user experience, a pool of servers is launched to react to […]

Warmwater shrimp are dominant in Canada’s shrimp market, and they are mainly imported from Asian countries. Final market value of the imported shrimp can be increased if they are alive; however, shipping live shrimp in water is cost-prohibitive. To reduce the weight-associated cost, shrimp growers are interested in transporting live shrimp in waterless conditions. Unfortunately, […]

Early childhood (up to age 5 years) is an important and vulnerable period of development. Cognitive and socio-emotional skills during this period are strong predictors of later life outcomes such as employment status, mental health, and overall well-being. Children are particularly sensitive to external factors in this period, and it is therefore important to understand […]

La compagnie Wastack vise à développer un système permettant d’identifier différents types de déchets néfastes dès leur arrivée aux sites d’enfouissement afin d’éviter que certains matériaux tels que les batteries, les écrans d’ordinateur ou les pneus s’y retrouvent alors qu’ils devraient être traités ailleurs. L’objectif du projet est de fournir une rétroaction continue aux citoyens […]

Les amateurs de jeu vidéo sont bien familiers avec la sensation d’être profondément captivés par un jeu au point de perdre la notion du passage du temps, tout en état capables de hautes performances sans se fatiguer mentalement. Cet état psychologique particulier a été baptisé « flow » par le psychologue hongrois Mihaly Csikszentmilhayi qui […]

Canada is in the very centre of the global energy storage revolution – a broad introduction of solid state battery technology for Electric vehicles, home use and power grid optimisation. At present, lithium-ion batteries use flammable liquid electrolytes and non-surface protected electrodes, which is expensive and potentially unsafe for the environment. This project aims to […]

BRP is a global leader in the world of powersports vehicles, propulsion systems and boats. The company wants to develop electric motors for its future on- and off-road electric vehicles, thus reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of its products. Powersports electric vehicles require electric motors with high power, but low weight. This type of motors […]

La transition de l’adolescence à l’âge adulte est une étape charnière qui coïncide avec l’apparition et la chronicisation de problématiques coûteuses pour l’individu et la société (ex. : chômage,sous-scolarisation, pauvreté chronique). Bien que ces problématiques soient plus fréquentes auprès des populations vulnérables, ces dernières sont sous-représentées dans la recherche, qui se centre typiquement sur les […]

API usability specifies how easy, efficient, error-preventing, and pleasant an API of a software library is from its users’ perspective. With machine learning (ML) techniques becoming increasingly powerful and pervasive, many non-programmers and casual users (e.g. domain experts in medicine or geography) started to explore ML libraries. However, many find them challenging to use because […]

This research project is aimed at improving the oxygenation of water downstream of hydroelectric dams; one of the issues being to preserve the aquatic fauna. The goal is to develop the fundamental understanding and applied technology needed by industry in the field of two-phase flows. Experimental and numerical tools are developed to design similar laws, […]

ans cette proposition de recherche, une étude connexe est proposée en vue d’investiguer trois questions de recherche clés. Dans l’étude, nous chercherons à determiner si la perte auditive (PA) et l’utilisation d’aides auditives (AA) chez les personnes âgées ayant une perte auditive liée à l’âge (PALA) ont un impact sur la qualité de vie (QV) […]

Steel rebars are the dominant reinforcement elements in reinforced concrete structures due to their relatively adequate manufacturing, material property and established construction codes. In an ideal environment and under nominal loading, conventional concrete reinforcement is expected to govern the design strength based on which they are designed. However, under environmental loading conditions, such as very […]
