L’objectif principal du projet de recherche est de développer une nouvelle technique économique de fabrication de pièces en matériaux composites à haute performance, pour le domaine aeronautique et operationnel chez Marquez. L’integration des nouvelles techniques vise I’amelioration de la robustesse du procede, en minimisant les temps de cycle, les pieces rejets et en limitant la […]

Les feux naturels sont actuellement rares au Bas-Saint-Laurent et leur dynamique holocène demeure mal connue. Les écosystèmes pyrophiles exceptionnels, tels que les pinèdes, pourraient témoigner de feux naturels historiques. Les pins pourraient aussi avoir été favorisés par les activités humaines précoloniales. Les Autochtones, et notamment les Malécites, pourraient être impliqués dans le maintien de ces […]

For the realization of amplifiers with ultra-high control bandwidth, typically the series connection of high-frequency PWM H-bridges is considered in order to simultaneously achieve multi-level voltages and high effective switching frequency, which enables the required high cut-off frequency of the output filter and, thus, facilitates high control bandwidth. However, the approach is of high complexity, […]

Controlled plant factories are closed and insulated environments that can be automated and artificially illuminated. They may be built in recycled shipping containers that are mobile, carrying enormous potential for food crop production and addressing food security in remote areas. However, lighting technologies and light positioning in these factories has not been optimized for different […]

Professors Erica Lehrer (Concordia University, Canada) and Roma Sendyka (Jagiellonian University, Krakow) have been engaged in ongoing research exploring how exhibition curating can serve as a mode of social and cultural research, and a form of applied cultural studies pedagogy. Lehrer and Sendyka are currently experimenting with exhibit approaches for recently discovered Polish folk art […]

Roughly 4-6% of the general population suffers from excessive daytime sleepiness. Central hypersomnolence disorders are characterized by incurable constant occurrence of this daytime sleepiness in combination with a disturbed sleep-wake cycle, resulting in severely impaired daytime functioning. Central hypersomnolence disorders are normally diagnostically divided in two types of narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia. While narcolepsy type […]

Endothelial cells( ECs) form the inner surface of blood vessels. If they break down, they may lead to vascular disease, heart failure,and high blood pressure. Endothelial cells(ECs) functions are regulated by permanent mechanical stresses such as shear stress and pressure from blood stream. When some cells are damaged, the adjacent cells are induced by them, […]

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a major area of interest for the aerospace community, especially considering aging aircraft where the growing maintenance costs, estimated to $10,4 billion worldwide annually, can reduce their economic life. The long-term goal of the industry is to deploy SHM systems which will 1) meet the in-service inspection requirements with sensors […]

Ce projet s’inscrivant dans le domaine de l‘ingénierie de visualisation 3D a pour principale objectif de permettre la manipulation de différents types de formats de CAD (Computer Aided Design). Actuellement, les manipulations de formats tel que les nuages de points ou les éléments maillés se font de manière séparée, empêchant le plein potentiel d’un modèle […]

STAGIAIRE1 (PhD1, ISR) Génération et propagation des requis de conception vers le sous-système électronique embarqué. Les objectifs spécifiques du projet de l’étudiant PhD1 (tâches 1.1 et 1.2 du projet global) sont : 1) l’élaboration, la mise en oeuvre et la validation d’une stratégie permettant de déterminer la robustesse inhérente des autres éléments du système global, […]

Printable electronics is a new advanced manufacturing technology, which allows a low-cost and simple fabrication of optical devices. The production consists of three main steps: choosing the materials, printing, and sintering. At first, a metallic ink and a substrate must be chosen. The second step is a printing which could be realized even with a […]

the physics-based modeling of the impact of road pavement characteristics on UHI can be complex and inaccurate. On the other hand, advances in data science and machine learning along with the ever-increasing computational power offer data-driven modeling opportunities that are relatively easy to setup. In recent years, with the rise of the Internet of things […]
