The high frequency of vocal fold vibrations, especially in singers and voice professionals may aberrantly change the biomechanical properties of the vocal folds, leading to voice disorders. The slow rate of wound healing due to the limited cell migration is the main problem with current methods of vocal fold treatment. The goal of this project […]

The objective of this project is to develop a novel distributed constrained control architecture to address the obstacle avoidance problem for rotating wings unmanned aerial vehicles. In the first phase, the objective is to realize an experimental setup where formations of UAVs can be reproduced and tested. This will be realized at the host supervisor’s […]

Fitting hockey players with the proper stick remains a complex process. Even though clear benefits are expected from this process, its complexity limits its application to only a few times during the career of the very top athletes. Furthermore, unlike golf, hockey players mostly use the same stick during all game situations. Previous research clearly […]

La gestion des sédiments contaminés et des risques qu’ils peuvent poser pour l’environnement est un enjeu important au Canada. Les administrations portuaires doivent couramment draguer et transporter des sédiments contaminés. Ce transfert vers le milieu terrestre complexifie la gestion des sédiments contaminés. Ce projet vise à proposer une approche qui permettra, dans certains cas, d’éliminer […]

This project develops a new project management method for software development targeting next-generation network providing unprecedented quality of cellular service to Canadians and small and medium businesses, stimulating innovations and improving the quality of life of our people. Relying on the ENCQOR infrastructure, which is the first 5G network in Canada supported by three governments […]

Le Club de Soccer de Trois-Rivières (CSTR) est responsable de promouvoir et développer le soccer dans la région de Trois-Rivières. Un enjeu important de cette mission est de continuellement offrir les meilleures conditions d’apprentissage à ses joueurs. Dans les habiletés enseignées par les entraîneurs, la prise de décisions est l’habileté phare qui permet aux joueurs […]

Image-based technology is effective for recording on-site data geospatially and chronologically. It has gained increasing attention in the construction field for progress monitoring, work space analysis and quality assurance. However, a notable downside of image processing is the light condition, particularly for noisy environments such as construction sites. Much research strives to reduce the level […]

Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary ocular tumor in adults. UM is treated by removing the eye (enucleation) or by local radiation therapy. Despite effective treatments for the ocular tumors, about 50% of patients develop metastasis, which are frequently lethal. Genetic profiling is used to study the molecular changes that occur and is […]

The long term objective of this project is to develop methods of revegetating mine tailings sites (in this case, a very large tailing mound in northern Quebec) using natural vegetation, and without transporting soil long distances. The specific objective of this project over the next year is to (i) conduct field trials to determine the […]

Supervisors: Mélina Maillhot (Concordia University, Montreal) and Elena di Bernardino (CNAM, Paris). Postdoctoral Fellow: Fátima Palacios Rodríguez (INRIA Sophia Antipolis- Méditerranée, Montpellier) The main aim of the project is to provide adequate models for rainfalls time series by representing the time dependence related to flood events with Vine copulas. Copulas are easily understandable multivariate models […]

The agricultural sector is currently facing a conundrum, whereas the needs to produce more (food, fiber, bioenergy) are ever increasing, the land and resources needed to produce them are diminishing. Furthermore, consumers and legislators pressure for environmentally friendly products are increasing accordingly, the development of sustainable alternatives such as the use of plant growth-promoting rhyzobacteria […]

Ce projet a pour objectif de faire la lumière sur l’effet de levier que l’économie sociale peut jouer dans une perspective de transition québécoise vers l’économie circulaire. Il permettra d’identifier les secteurs d’activités et les modèles d’affaires les plus porteurs pour les entreprises d’économie sociale dans le déploiement de boucles d’économie circulaire à une échelle […]
