A well-maintained hydration status is important for the well-being of human body. Significant deviation from the proper hydration state, either dehydration or hyper hydration, could lead to neurologic complications or even fatal results. Existing hydration measurement carried out in laboratory settings, such as blood and urine test, though accurate, require both expensive equipment and professional […]

In the current socio-economic context, many companies, including Optimum Talent Inc., have begun using personality assessment tools to identify candidates and employees with high potential. Optimum Talent Inc.’s recent acquisition, the Pathfinder personality assessment tool, appears to be able to predict job performance with close to three time more precision than other personality measures. The […]

Ethernet networks are typically best effort networks where traffic flows may contribute on creating network congestion and lead the switches to start dropping packets randomly. This results in unstable network latency that some applications cannot tolerate, especially in the context of 5G networks where delay constraints are very tight. The proposed research project aims at […]

Jet noise is still the main contributor in airplane noise at take-off, which has been shown to induce health problems in the residents near airports that are now embedded in most large cities such as Toronto or Montreal. Engine manufacturers are now considering the Ultra-High Bypass Ratio (UHBR) type engine to further reduce noise. Yet […]

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) can directly translate human intentions into discrete commands, bypassing the motor system. Most non-invasive BCI systems currently in use are based on electroencephalography (EEG) recording technology. While traditional EEG-based BCIs achieve high information transfer rates, these systems have two major limitations. First, they cannot be used in daily life as they do […]

The project will develop a firm-level multi-criteria supply chain design and management tool for Parmalat that will accommodate conflict and convergence between requirements for lean, agile, green, resilient, and nutrition characteristics that are all needed for convergent innovation (CI) in the dairy sector supply chain. A three-pronged program of activity is proposed in this project […]

This project will develop new operational management systems by combining the elements of Lean, Agile, Green, Resilient and Nutrition (LAGRN) management of the dairy supply chain. The supply chain of Parmalat Canada will be used as a case study. This study is particularly significant for a company like Parmalat Canada, as it is trying to […]

Les masques respiratoires pour enfants sont souvent mal adaptés à leur croissance. Dans le cas où le port d’un masque est nécessaire, par exemple pour les patients atteints de dystrophie neuromusculaire, ces masques peu adaptés créent des fuites d’air qui nuisent et même empêchent le bon fonctionnement de l’appareil de ventilation. Le réflexe est alors […]

À l’occasion du Sommet international des coopératives 2016, des coopératives forestières provenant de divers pays participeront à une rencontre sectorielle ayant pour thème « Pour vivre de nos forêts de façon durable ». Elles seront invitées à réfléchir sur la valeur ajoutée et les défis du modèle forestier coopératif et à échanger sur les possibilités […]

L’objectif du projet est de concevoir un algorithme pour repositionner dynamiquement la flotte de taxis électriques de Taxelco. L’algorithme prend la forme d’un problème d’optimisation qui vise à minimiser le temps d’attente des clients. Pour ce faire, le modèle considère la demande prévue, l’autonomie limitée des véhicules, la circulation, la position des centres de maintenance […]
