Cette année, selon les prévisions de la Société canadienne d’hypothèque et de logement, le coût moyen d’un appartement à Montréal augmentera de 10% ; comment expliquer l’avènement de ce que certains osent appeler une crise du logement ? Parmi tous les facteurs qui participent de l’emballement économique, le changement de la perception du logement, devenu […]

This project will evaluate the extent to which prominent international AI governance frameworks align with the common-pool resources (CPR) governance framework; its execution will consist in semi-structured interviews with experts and extensive literature review. The project aims to clarify how well-suited existing international AI governance proposals are to addressing the collective action problems marring international […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Electric vehicles have been a focal point of sustainable transport planning in recent years. Technological advancement, environmental concerns, and supportive policies have created momentum for a global transition to electric vehicles. It is a vital step for the mitigation of climate change and a reduced fossil fuel dependence. There is an increased emphasis on the […]

Ce projet vise à analyser et à mettre à jour les indicateurs de performance clés actuels d’Alloprof afin de créer un nouveau cadre de performance qui permettra à l’organisation de mieux contrôler le succès continu de ses initiatives. Ce cadre tiendra compte de la position d’Alloprof en tant qu’organisation à but non lucratif et de […]

The current net-zero emissions by 2050 target requires carbon-neutral, long-lasting and resilient construction amidst the rapid population growth. Wood is known to be one of the most affordable and sustainable construction materials with low embodied carbon, which has been widely used across Canada. On the other hand, as British Columbia is situated in a high […]

Estuaries are coastal regions where a freshwater source meets the ocean. The influence of tides, wind, and the shape of the estuary can lead to complicated flows of water that are difficult to predict. The purpose of this project is to develop a computer simulation of the Halifax Harbour estuary. We will use the General […]

This project aims to develop an interactive platform with AI capabilities to facilitate the creation of complex simulation labs for STEM education. The significance lies in enabling educators to design and deploy interactive lab environments efficiently, enhancing student engagement and understanding in STEM disciplines. The objectives include exploring generative AI models for lab creation, integrating […]

À mesure que la population mondiale et la demande en denrée alimentaire augmentent, il est primordial de maintenir des sols en bonne santé et productifs. L’agriculture doit donc se réinviter et trouver des solutions pour limiter l’utilisation de pesticides conventionnels. L’utilisation de substances naturelles pour développer des bio-pesticides est une alternative novatrice aux pesticides conventionnels. […]

This project aims to show that Hume does not reject the principle of sufficient reason (PSR), but rather proposes an understanding of it. Some scholars, such as Della Rocca (2018, 2021), Schrenk (2010), and Pruss (2006), have argued that Hume rejects the PSR when he discusses the causal maxim: “whatever begins to exist, must have a […]

The proposed research project aims to create an AI-based automatic system for monitoring and characterizing the condition of cutting tools by integrating robotic systems and smart cameras. This innovative approach addresses the limitations of traditional tool wear monitoring methods, which often lead to unnecessary costs and machine downtime. By developing advanced machine learning algorithms and […]
