Comparaison et analyse des besoins énergétiques de modèles de serre conventionnelle et alternative pour de petits et moyens producteurs au Québec

La culture en serre a de nombreux avantages par rapport aux cultures en champs notamment une meilleure utilisation de l’eau, des nutriments, des rendements plus importants et une culture à l’année. Cependant, pour atteindre ce dernier avantage, les serres doivent évacuer de la chaleur en été et consommer de l’énergie en hiver. Il en résulte […]

Reshaping the management of low back pain in the emergency department

In Australia, low back pain (LBP) is the 5th most common cause of presentation to emergency departments (EDs). However, most LBP cases seen in EDs are non-serious and non-urgent, and they place a significant pressure on ED staff, who are trained managing patients with urgent health problems. The project aims to develop, implement and evaluate […]

Formulation, modeling, and solution of angular coverage problems

For all organizations, the location of facilities represents an important strategic decision. Among the facility location problems, coverage problems stand out; the best known of this family is the Set Covering Problem (SCP). In this, the coverage is based on the distance between the point of demand and the installation, assuming that the coverage can […]

Enhancing the Explainability of Temporal Financial Data

Deep Learning has seen great success in recent years in application to high-dimensional data. In the advent of increased computability, the increase in accuracy of Deep Learning has surpassed traditional statistical methods. Consequently, the complexity of Deep Learning methods are not interpretable (black-box); therefore, are often dismissed in high-risk domains such as health care and […]

Recherche sur la durabilité des agrégats recyclés

La recherche portera sur la mise au point d’un béton composé en tout ou partie d’agrégats de béton recyclés. Les agrégats recyclés remplaceront les agrégats grossiers dans la composition des bétons. Des essais sur la durabilité, la résistance au gel-dégel, le retrait, ainsi que la porosité du béton seront effectués sur les bétons avec des […]
