Canada’s aerospace industry relies on expensive and time-consuming testing campaigns to introduce new composites or obtain baseline material properties. Design allowables (e.g., strength used in design phases) are obtained from empirical knock-down factors that account for temperature, environment, etc. This approach is over-conservative and disconnected from physical grounds; it also leads to situations where different […]

Seniors take many medications during their lifetime. As seniors age, some of these medications may become unnecessary or even harmful. The process of stopping a medication that has the potential to cause more harm than benefit is called deprescribing. Physicians are more in the habit of prescribing than deprescribing, even though patients like the idea […]

In Canada, women have made significant inroads in television, web series, documentaries, and experimental films. But few women directors and screenwriters participate in big-budget feature film production. This study explores the marginalization of women in the feature film industry through the lens of film production training. As previous studies have shown, film education can shape […]

The purpose of this project is to position Quebec in the global production network and to compute Quebec’s Product Complexity Index (PCI) and Economic Complexity Index (ECI) using Hidalgo and Hausmann (2009) methodology. Based on the rankings of PCI and ECI, we can have a clear understanding of the economic structure of different countries and […]

Le développement des systèmes de sécurité embarqués dans les véhicules a connu un progrès significatif ces dernières années avec l’apparition, notamment, de systèmes intelligents d’aide à la conduite (ADAS) et de la conduite automatisée. Parmi les capteurs utilisés, la combinaison des capteurs lidars et des caméras permet de mesurer et de reconstruire virtuellement l’environnement du […]

Un prototype de logiciel d’évaluation de l’éco-efficacité des procédés de transformations des produits laitiers par simulation numérique de procédés industriels a été développé dans le cadre des travaux de doctorat de S. Benoit. Le présent projet vise à rendre cet outil utilisable par l’industrie laitière et à l’enrichir de fonctionnalités supplémentaires. En plus de quelques […]

Les individus ayant des incapacités limitant l’usage de leurs membres supérieurs sont quotidiennement confrontés à des difficultés restreignant la réalisation de leurs activités de tous les jours. Leur autonomie, leur participation sociale et éventuellement leur qualité de vie en sont par conséquent affectées. Les technologies d’assistance nouvelle génération telles que les bras robotisés ont le […]

De nombreuses questions éthiques, juridiques et de politique publique en matière de régulation se posent dans le domaine de l’intelligence artificielle et restent encore sans réponse, celles qui nous intéressent s’énoncent dans le domaine de la santé mentale. En effet, la création des machines d’apprentissage se fait par l’entrée de données massives traduites en algorithme […]

It is vital to reduce today’s consumption of fossil fuels by using renewable energies like wind energy, solar or photovoltaic. However, majority of renewable energies are intermittent and not in phase with human electricity consumption cycle. It is therefore essential to develop energy storage systems to capture renewable energies when they are available and distribute […]

Distributed sensing is an advanced technology that enables real-time monitoring of variations along the entire length of a waveguide, and offers the possibility of sensing from a long distance. In the optics domain, distributed sensing based on optical fibers has been successfully demonstrated. However, the realization of distributed sensing in the terahertz domain is still […]
