Le projet consiste à comprendre la trajectoire des pratiques transgressives des militant.e.s qui vivent dans les municipalités de San Salvador Atenco, Texcoco et Chimalhuacán, dans le contexte de la construction du Nouvel Aéroport de la Ville de México, au Mexique, dans l’État de México. À partir de la collecte des histoires de vie de 5 […]

Durant les trente dernières années, l’utilisation des mesures non tarifaires (MNT) des chapitres A (SPS) et B (OTC) s’est accrue dans les pays développés. Elles représentaient 59% des MNT en 2012 (WTO 2012) et 70% en 2017 (UNCTAD, 2017). Ces mesures techniques traitent diverses préoccupations (qualité et sécurité sanitaire) liées à la production et aux […]

Chemical fertilizers and pesticides are extensively used for commercial growth of cannabis alike other crops. More than 40% of unused fertilizers cause serious environmental problems such as contaminants transform into our food chain, and eventually repeated application of chemical fertilizers increase human and ecosystem (human health, floral and faunal diversity) health risks over the time. […]

Le projet de stage de recherche proposé s’articule autour de la validation et de l’amélioration de simulations existantes de modèles d’usine de pâte dissoute et de bioraffinerie. Ces simulations développées sur deux plateformes distinctes CADSIM Plus et ASPEN seront dans un premier temps validées et/ou modifiées pour par la suite être reliées via une interface […]

The objective of the research is to develop a system leveraging data captured for commercial building management systems (BMS) to take decisions in to reduce energy consumption without affecting comfort. The idea is to showcase how intelligent control can be implemented in existing BMS to optimize energy consumption. The project is divided in three parts: […]

Cognitive functions decline with aging and a vascular contribution to neuronal damage has been proposed. Accumulation of senescent cells (SnC) is associated with age. SnC remain metabolically active and release numerous factors of Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype potentially harmful. Our hypothesis is that accumulation of cerebrovascular senescent endothelial cells (SnEC) contributes to vascular cognitive impairment and […]

Le projet de recherche proposé s’intéresse aux éléments caractérisant la reconversion architecturale de bâtiments industriels à Montréal ainsi qu’à Birmingham. À cette fin, je réaliserai une étude de cas comparative me permettant de comparer le recyclage du Centre Phi à un cas brummi qu’il me faut encore sélectionner. Je me pencherai, d’une part, sur le […]

Ce projet vise à développer une méthode de prédiction et d’atténuation précise et abordable du bruit induit par l’écoulement. L’approche innovante, basée sur les développements récents en simulation et en modélisation fondée sur les données, promesse de réduire la pollution sonore, d’améliorer la santé publique et atténuer l’impact de l’urbanisation. À ce jour, les limites […]

Providing safe drinking water to the population is one of the main roles of municipalities. However, due to aging urban infrastructure, the number of pipe break is an increasingly around the world which is costly at the economic, social and environmental levels. Municipalities need to have tools that allow predicting these breaks so they can […]

Wind and solar energy are the fastest growing sources of electricity in Canada. However, its electricity supply is not aligned with the energy demand. In this context, energy storage becomes more and more important to bridge temporal and geographical gaps. The Power-to-Gas process (P2G) is a promising technology in which excess electricity is converted to […]

Over 400 million homes in China burn coal to meet indoor heating requirements, exposing individuals to air pollution in their homes and contributing to poor ambient air quality. Exposure to air pollution is associated with excess morbidity and mortality, but few studies have assessed the impact of interventions that reduce air pollution. Recently, the Beijing […]

Ubisoft records the interaction between its customers and its servers in large execution logs (also called traces). Any failure of the system is thus recorded therein. However, the considerable size of these logs considerably hinders their effective use by analysts and developers. We propose an automated method to detect failing executions, and furthermore to characterize […]
