Many of those dealing with anxiety and/or depression are frequently in the care of a friend, partner, or family member known as an informal caregiver. This important role can be very taxing both physically and psychologically, yet few resources are available to specifically target individual caregivers’ needs. The proposed project will contribute to our understanding […]

Continuous centrifugal casting (CCC) is a new process to produce aluminium tubes with many advantages over classical extrusion: reduced amount of scrap and energy consumption, low transformation costs, more flexibility to produce tubes of different sizes… In CCC, a constant flow of molten aluminum feeds a rotary mold which solidifies the metal into a tube […]

Ce projet de recherche se découpe en deux parties : découvrir quels ont été les apports des théories de la bibliothèque comme « troisième lieu » dans le fonctionnement et l’organisation des bibliothèques en France et aussi préciser les éléments culturels particuliers au pays qui ont fait que cette nouvelle conception du rôle des bibliothèques […]

The project aims to analyze the through-thickness compaction of dry fibrous reinforcements at the mesoscopic scale. Predicting how fiber tows deform during the compression of woven fabrics is important in resin injection processes because textile deformation plays an important role on permeability. Fiber orientation governs also mechanical performance. Hence, compaction represents a key issue that […]

My research will be looking into the relationship of migrant workers in the tourism industry is with current levels of governance in Los Cabos, Mexico. The objective of this work is to identify how to reduce vulnerabilities for migrant workers in the tourism industry that have traveled to Los Cabos from other parts of Mexico […]

La collaboration entre l’Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières et Laferté Bicycles aura pour but de mettre à l’essai en laboratoire du matériel novateur pour l’évaluation fonctionnelle pré-positionnement ainsi que du matériel de prise de mesures lors du positionnement pour appuyer les décisions et avancements. Les données recueillies en laboratoire seront traitées et évaluées afin de […]

Many cities around the world and specifically Latin America are now being forced to relocate due to the effects of climate change. This is the case of La Barra, a small village located on Colombia’s Pacific coast. Due to its destruction by rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and increased erosion, the village is in […]

In contemporary city building, large sports venues are seen as a means to prompt urban development. Despite a plethora of studies suggesting sport events and stadium construction have little appreciable effect on income, employment and economic development at a municipal scale, governments continue to promote them, often in partnership with higher levels of government and […]

Deep neural networks are a valuable machine learning method that is at the heart of many technological innovations. From self-driving cars to automatic translations and image recognition, etc. it seems that deep neural networks are a great tool that can adapt to different problematics. However, defining the right network for the right application is a […]

The interest in reliable Terahertz (THz) source has been increasing in the last decade since THz frequencies are recognized to be suitable in several applications spanning from pump-probe experiments to spatial and terrestrial wireless communication. However, for the case of solid-state THz source relying on optical down conversion, two main issues still affect the performance, […]

Social embodiment is the process of how environment and social experiences get under the skin early in life in biological ways that affect human physiological and social development. For children exposed daily to adversity in their family environment, childcare attendance (i.e., regular non-parental childcare services) might be a protective factor for children social development. Childcare […]

Les drones de petite taille sont de plus en plus considérés pour des applications civiles. Un exemple particulier de ces applications serait à des fins de livraison. Un des scénarios proposés serait de couvrir la plus grande partie de la distance de livraison par moyen de transport conventionnel (camion, train, etc.) et de faire le […]
