The business management literature defines an innovative startup as a “human institution, which delivers a new product-service in conditions of extreme uncertainty”. For its part, the design engineering literature proposes methods to experiment the prototype of a new product-service before its launch on the market, but without systematically analyzing its business implications. Thus, few research […]

Over the last few years, the data revolution occurred with the emergence of “Big data”. In medical field, the term big data refers to large databases in terms of patients and/or information from varied sources. Nevertheless, heterogeneity is encountered in this kind of data. Indeed, data arise from different medical centers. Furthermore, we can’t perform […]

With the increase demand of 3D models in urban environment, automatic indoor modeling has attracted more attention for human trajectory identification, facility management and indoor navigation. To reconstruct indoor models quickly and reliably, this project will propose a new indoor reconstruction method to automatically generate indoor semantic building models through building ground maps and images […]

The objective of this study is to uncover the relationship between cognitive deterioration and language performance in populations with dementia. The method used for this protocol does not require that words and grammar be taken into consideration but rather investigates coherence of discourse, which has the potential to be applied to studies of languages other […]

Dans les sports impliquant l’utilisation du membre supérieur au-dessus de la tête, comme le tennis, les blessures à l’épaule sont fréquentes. Un des facteurs de risque de ces blessures est la faiblesse des muscles stabilisateurs de l’omoplate, en particulier le trapèze inférieur. Au cours des gestes sportifs, la faiblesse de ce muscle pourrait modifier les […]

In this project, we aim to apply the Time-Reversal (TR) principle to locate sound sources in a reverberant environment using a small hemispherical microphone array. Previously, sound source localization has been demonstrated using TR and a hemispherical array where all sources were located inside the hemisphere – however, the feasibility of using a smaller hemispherical […]

Current UV technology used to disinfect drinking water and wastewater is energy intensive, hazardous, and bulky; and the advent of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit in the ultraviolet (UV) range provides a unique opportunity to rethink how we design and implement disinfection technology. The overall objective of this project is to investigate the how […]

In January 2016, the Centre for Ambulatory Care Education (CACE) at Women’s College Hospital completed the Homecare Curriculum. This online, simulation-based program is designed to help personal support workers, nurses, and rehabilitation professionals provide better care for older adults who wish to stay in their homes. The program presents learners with 3 virtual home environments […]

Le nombre de personnes âgées de 65 ans et plus a connu une augmentation considérable à l’échelle mondiale. Ce bilan est préoccupant, considérant la possibilité accrue de développer une démence avec l’âge. La maladie d’Alzheimer est le type de trouble neurodégénératif le plus répandu, représentant jusqu’à 70% des cas de démence. La détection rapide des […]

L’objectif du projet de recherche qui sera réalisé à l’Université d’Aix-Marseille est de créer et valider un modèle numérique de la tête, du cou et du torse. Ce modèle permettra d’évaluer l’effet des colliers cervicaux préhospitaliers sur la mobilité et les contraintes mécaniques dans la moelle épinière suite à une blessure au cou. Les colliers […]

L’œuvre de Christophe Tarkos a souvent été comparé à celui de Samuel Beckett par la presse. Cependant, à ce jour, aucune étude savante n’a exploré les liens qui unissent ces deux auteurs en ce qui a trait à leur utilisation idiosyncratique de la langue. Par conséquent, ce projet vise à analyser le livre « PAN […]

Using simplified language understandable to a layperson, provide a general, one-paragraph description of the proposed research project to be undertaken by the student(s) as well as the expected outcomes. (Approx. 150 words)
