Ce projet de recherche s’inscrit dans le cadre de ma cotutelle de thèse. Intitulée «Disparaître autrement. La disparition comme geste, et son rapport aux formes de vie dans la littérature et les arts actuels», ma thèse s’intéresse à un corpus tant littéraire qu’artistique, et s’appuie sur un édifice théorique principalement philosophique. Je cherche à analyser […]

The intent of this project is to address the high-speed electronic portion of a silicon photonic transceiver solution that will explore new and innovative metro reach terabit optical modems. In total there are five projects that combine to create the solution. These five project areas are silicon photonic design, high-speed electronic design, modelling, packaging and […]

Recruitment of future employees is an essential activity in any organization, yet it is tedious and error-prone. Substantial effort is spent in rote tasks like finding candidates matching a particular job offer, contacting them, scheduling an interview and performing the actual interview, while the more interesting tasks like making a final decision on who to […]

Le site aurifère Méliadine au Canada (NU) est la propriété d’Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM). Il est envisagé au début des opérations minières prévues à l’horizon 2017 qu’une partie des rejets de traitement du minerai soient réacheminés vers les galeries de mine exploitées, dans un mélange avec de l’eau et du ciment. Cette technique du remblai […]

Drawing upon emerging practices in Digital Humanities, this research project aims to focus on visual models for the analysis of large corpora in Media Studies. Visual models differ from other types of data-based models in the way they make visible a set of relationships through a process of knowledge design (Schnapp 2014), rather than offering […]

Hydrogen is often seen as an energy carrier that can support our growing need for greener energy. However, current methods to produce hydrogen are cost prohibitive or generate large volumes of CO2, namely by the combustion of natural gas (NG) to provide heat to the commonly used steam methane reforming (SMR) process. By using established […]

To achieve useful results in training deep neural network, one typically needs huge number of labelled images. In most practical cases, it is often time consuming, expensive and sometimes even near impossible to get the required numbers of labelled images. Data augmentation consists in a set of image processing techniques that can be applied to […]

Tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) have received significant interest due to broad-spectrum antibiotics. TCs are detected worldwide in surface water, ground waters, and even drinking water sources because of excreting through urine and feces. The presence of TCs represents a threat to humans and ecosystems by developing drug-resistant bacteria and the toxicity of the antibiotics Thus, it […]

Led by Prof. Steve Tsai from Stanford University, Palo Alto, USA, new methods to efficiently design, analyze, optimize and manufacture high-performance light weight panels made of carbon fiber reinforced composites and thermoset resins have been developed by an international consortium. The ideas already available give indication to massively reduce cost, maximize light weight efficiency and […]

Les scénarios climatiques utilisés dans les projets d’impact, de vulnérabilité et d’adaptation aux changements climatiques sont issus d’une combinaison des simulations numériques du climat avec des observations. Les méthodes impliquées dans cette combinaison visent à optimiser l’équivalence statistique avec les observations, et doivent garantir la cohérence physique entre les variables du scénario (p. ex., température, […]

Schizophrenia is a devastating disease for which there is no cure. Available treatments aim at minimizing the symptoms. However, patients often stop taking their tablets, which leads to a worsening of their symptoms, referred to as relapse. In order to avoid the problems of discontinuation, some treatments are administered through an injection. Several studies have […]

Opioid-related harms such as abuse, misuse, addiction, diversion and overdose have been rising exponentially, a phenomenon referred to as the opioid epidemic. The current research will examine federal and provincial risk minimization measures (RMMs) regarding the opioid epidemic starting in 2016. We will develop a landscape of federal and provincial opioid RMMs, describe trends over […]
