La compagnie Elekta est spécialisée dans le développement d’équipements et de logiciels dédiées aux traitements en radiothérapie pour les centres de traitement de cancer comme celui à Laval (Centre Intégré de Cancérologie de Laval). Les traitements sont administrés par des équipements appelés accélérateurs linéaires qui projettent pendant une durée définie des rayons sur la région […]

Au cours de la dernière décennie, les barres en matériaux composites de polymère renforcé de fibres (PRF) ont été utilisées avec succès comme renforcement principal pour les structures en béton telles que les ponts, les dalles de stationnement, les réservoirs d’eau, les tunnels et les structures marines. Ces ouvrages ont démontré de bonnes performances et […]

The public transportation system is crucial in alleviating urban congestion. The widespread of smart card automated fare collection (AFC) system produces massive data recording passengers’ day-to-day transport dynamic, which provides unprecedented opportunities to researchers and practitioners to understand and improve transit services. This project aims to make full use of the transit operational data (mainly […]

In the current functional and structural neuroimaging project, we aim to identify functional and structural changes that correlate with disease presence and its severity (staging) and that can serve as a basis for future development of PD neuroimaging biomarkers. To achieve this objective we will use our expertise in functional neuroimaging of the cervical spinal […]

The goal of this project is to assess the effectiveness of a novel memory training program developed by Dave Farrow, 2 time Guinness World Record winner for best memory. The cornerstone of this program is the concept of memory personalities which posits that 1) the optimal way of processing and organizing information to be remembered […]

Quadrotors are one of the most popular choices for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in situations where fast disturbance rejection, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capabilities, and maneuverability are required. However, the quadrotor is inherently underactuated, and as a result, it is impossible to independently control the orientation and position of the vehicle. One solution to […]

Just like for the automotive industry, there is growing interest in the development of fully autonomous trains. One of the key steps in the creation of a fully autonomous solution is optaining an accurate estimate of the train position and velocity. Accurate estimates are critical component of the train safety during operation and better estimates […]

Le projet vise à identifier les secteurs porteurs pour l’économie estrienne. Ainsi, maximiser les retombées économiques d’investissements futurs dans la région sera facilité par la réalisation de ce projet. De plus, des composantes additionnelles permettront, d’abord, de quantifier les besoins de main-d’oeuvre régionaux ainsi que l’offre de main-d’oeuvre, ce qui permettra aux entreprises d’élaborer des […]

Le présent projet vise à mettre sur pied un outil d’intervention utilisant la réalité virtuelle afin de favoriser le développement de saines habiletés sociales et affectives chez les adolescents. En collaboration avec la Fondation Jasmin Roy, le stagiaire sera ainsi appelé à participer à la création de scénarios sociaux qui seront projetés par le biais […]

Major Swedish urban centres are facing a backlog of housing issues, and the recent influx of refugees has done little to lessen the pressure on the Swedish housing, rental and social housing markets. The Swedish government struggles to balance state-led housing and civic interests against the growing market for private speculation and development projects. One […]

IoT devices gather a huge amount of information and, consequently, bring many privacy threats. For example, the huge amount of information collected with IoT devices could be used in individual and behavioral patterns profiling. Thus, new safeguards for privacy and data integrity must be specified. This project aims to resolve data privacy issues using a […]

This research project will explore the German Baugruppe model of housing development—literally ‘building group’—through which multiple households organize themselves into an association and pool resources to purchase land and engage an architect to design a multi-unit complex of dwellings to suit their needs. This model removes the land developer from the equation, thus giving households, […]
