La recharge des eaux souterraines est le paramètre clef dans la gestion intégrée et durable des ressources en eau souterraine puisqu’elle définit leur renouvellement. Non observable directement, elle correspond à la part des précipitations qui ne s’est pas évaporée et n’a pas été consommée par les plantes (évapotranspiration – ET) ou n’a pas ruisselé. Une […]

Ce projet vise à caractériser la qualité de l’eau souterraine de la région des Laurentides et de la MRC Les Moulins. Près de 400 puits seront échantillonnés pour faire l’analyse de 39 composés chimiques incluant les ions majeurs et mineurs (dont les nitrates), la bactériologie, 47 pesticides et 16 composés pharmaceutiques et de soins personnels. […]

Actuellement, l’avènement de l’Industrie 4.0 constitue un incontournable pour les entreprises. L’arrimage entre le monde cyberphysique et la pensée stratégique comportent son lot d’opportunités et de défis. De ce fait, ceux-ci ont un impact majeur sur la stratégie organisationnelle touchant l’ensemble des choix et mesures nécessaire à la discipline et à l’atteinte des objectifs. À […]

Modular and offsite construction, where a module of project or complete house is manufactured in a factory, requires a large upfront capital (working capital) investment in order to procure materials in advance of manufacturing and to deliver modules on time and on schedule. Thus, modular fabricators need to receive deposit and progress payment before the […]

Construction projects are complex, unstructured and dynamic. So accurate project progress monitoring has always been an essential part of the project control plan and one of the main challenges for project managers. In fact in order to deliver projects on time and within budget, progress monitoring can be taken in to account as a critical […]

Today, physiotherapy balls or physioballs play an essential role in treating disability or body damages such as neck, waist, knee and so on. Despite their wide range of applications and importance, it is difficult to monitor the damaged member and propose continuous treatment in the presence of a physiotherapist or physician. This causes several problems […]

carbon-cage nanoparticles, provide a meaningful approach to nanomedicine owing to their resistance to metabolism and kinetic stability, and confinement prevents direct binding of the toxic metal ions to cellular components. Conjugation of endohedral metallofullerenes with proteins could overcome many physiological issues such as low biocompatibility, and the interaction of these supramolecular assemblies warrants further investigation. […]

The WaferBoard™ is a “waffle iron” for prototyping electronic systems. In the envisioned concept, the user simply place components in the WaferBoard™ and close the cover. ”WaferBoard™ then senses the component contacts and recognizes the components and interconnects them. The prototype is now ready to be brought up and run. The candidate will do research […]

Usually, any construction project begins with the planning department preparing a construction schedule that is pushed onto the project team. The big up-front plan might cause delays in the construction process because it relies on predicting a lot in the future, so you need frequent updating of this plan throughout the execution. Agile is a […]

Performance assurance activities are an essential step in the release cycle of large software systems. However, prior research on software performance often does not consider the impact on end users; while developers may miss performance issues that lowers the satisfaction rate of end users, or the effort is spent on fixing those issues that may […]

Ce projet s’insère dans un contexte où la densification urbaine est une préoccupation grandissante afin de réduire l’étalement urbain et ainsi s’aligner avec les principes du développement durable. Il vise à concevoir une procédure automatisée permettant de récupérer et d’intégrer les informations nécessaires pour cartographier le potentiel de lotissement de secteurs urbains déjà bâtis ou […]

Virtual environments represented by multibody system models play an important role in many applications. Adding the possibility of users directly interacting with such environments via physical touch using haptics can significantly enhance the usability and range of application of simulated environments. In this project we particularly target two main objectives: (1) the multirate-simulation and hatics […]
