Les entreprises sensibles aux externalités négatives générées par leurs activités et leurs actifs souscrivent de plus en plus à des mesures de divulgation volontaire de leurs impacts sociaux, économiques, environnementaux et rendent compte de la performance de leur mode de gouvernance à ce propos. Le Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) est un organisme qui […]

Nowadays, the topic of environmental sustainability and eco-friendly materials is present in every area of daily life. This research project, in the field of civil engineering, deals with the study of particular materials used for the construction of road pavements that have as their strong point the fact that they are recycled from existing pavements […]

The application of Transaction Cost Economics (TCE) as a tool to understand managerial decision making has been a contentious issue over the last 35 years. Williamson (1985) founded and defended the TCE theory his entire career, eventually winning the Noble Prize in Economics in 2009. Many management scholars were either skeptical or hostile to the […]

This proposal focuses on determining whether post-COVID-19 and sex influence the integrative dynamic autonomic, cardiovascular, respiratory, and muscle oxygenation regulation during postural transitions and acute exercise. COVID-19 is considered an inflammatory storm affecting many physiological systems, especially older adults. COVID-19 may impact these dynamic integrative responses, compromising homeostatic regulation, rapid physiological adjustments, and exercise capacity. […]

Recent years have witnessed a boom in the construction of modern high-rise buildings in megacities around the world. Since many of these megacities are also located in seismically active regions, it is important to design a high-rise building that can effectively withstand both wind and earthquake loads. Nonetheless, in current practice, the design of high-rise […]

Most mammals require care from older individuals during early life. Mothers tend to be the primary caregivers during this time, but in some mammals, notably social carnivores, rodents, and primates, care can be provided by conspecifics. In most primate species, allomothers tend to be female, making infant care by males a rare behaviour. Recently, we […]

Form Athletica Inc.’s augmented reality swim goggles (FORM goggles) are on the leading frontier of augmented reality sport technology. With their see-through display and ability to track and display numerous swimming performance metrics in real-time, swimmers have the opportunity to train in a smarter and more efficient way. Exploiting data from the FORM goggles will […]

Social determinants of health, including factors such as social isolation, food insecurity, and income, play a big part in our health. To account for these important social factors, some healthcare organizations have begun to adopt a strategy called social prescribing which involves regularly asking people if they need help with social determinant of health issues […]

Pedicle screws are used often in a spinal fusion to add support and strength to the fusion while it heals. Traditionally, a large incision is made to implant screws and rods that stabilize the spine. In contrast, percutaneous pedicle fixation is a minimally invasive spine surgery technique, performed through the skin without a traditional large […]

Lung ultrasound is an efficient and widespread method used in bedside diagnostic examinations. The interpretation of ultrasound in emergency care is an extremely difficult task, especially for less experienced physicians. The objective of the project is to implement and validate comprehensive AI-based approach using deep learning to assist in identifying diagnostically relevant imaging features and […]

Using a fisheye head-mounted camera to estimate human pose in 3D has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its ability to capture activities in unconstrained environments. Egocentric 3D human pose estimation (HPE) has a number of challenges due to self-occlusions and strong distortions. Intermediate heatmap-based representations have been found to be effective in […]

Brain fingerprinting is an emerging technique that has significant potential in leveraging individual differences for the improved prediction of behaviour (e.g. memory) and clinical (e.g. neuropsychiatric) outcomes. There is evidence suggesting that certain phenotypes of sleep might be markedly trait-like, however the uniqueness of sleep architecture and microarchitecture underlying the neurophysiological activity during the sleep […]
