Additive manufacturing (AM) offers designers more Degree-Of-Freedom (DOF) in design with fewer limitations and they can focus more on the intended functionality of a product. For example, functionality can be referred to assigned mechanical deformation by printing rigid and elastomeric materials. Soft robot, artificial heart, and customized shoe mid-sole are some functional products. One important […]

Breast cancer is the most common cancer amongst women. Early detection through mammography and new breakthroughs in therapy have significantly improved the survival rate. Nonetheless, in Canada, approximately one in eight women diagnosed will not live past five years. The study of gangliosides is one avenue to improve prognosis. Found on the cellular membrane, gangliosides […]

Precast concrete building is one type of prefabricated construction, in which some of the building components are produced in factories and transported to construction site for assembly. Because it focuses more on individual building components rather than the whole floor or construction area, traditional construction scheduling based on the floor or area level is not […]

We dedicate to inventory routing problems with uncertain demand, arising from supply chain systems. We determine replenishment times, quantities, and vehicle routes to serve customers. To predict customer demand, we use machine learning techniques to extract information from historical data, which is normally available in big data era. We use distributionally robust optimization method to […]

Le présent projet de recherche s’intéresse à la numérisation des contrats d’édition entre les éditeurs et les auteurs. En effet, les éditeurs rencontrent principalement trois problèmes dans leurs relations avec les auteurs. Le premier concerne le contenu du contrat d’édition ; le deuxième est relié à la rétribution financière des auteurs ; et enfin le […]

Le Festival de musique émergente en Abitibi-Témiscamingue est en reconfiguration de ses communications. Il est entendu ici que tous les outils de communication, que ce soit la stratégie sur les réseaux sociaux, le site Web, l’application mobile ou encore les communiqués de presse et les infolettres, sont en évaluation afin de déterminer quelles sont les […]

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 […]
