Surgical robots are dramatically changing the way in which surgeries are performed. As operating a surgical robot is quite different than traditional surgical tools, surgeons face significant learning curves when training to gain competency. A useful tool for analyzing the learning process of surgeons is eye gaze tracking. Eye gaze tracking technology may be used […]

The trees and plants – also called urban forest – in our cities help to absorb and evaporate rainwater. Since cities have a lot of surfaces that are impermeable, rainwater cannot infiltrate the soil and has to be moved away through pipe systems, carrying the pollution it collects on the surface. The urban forest is […]

This project aims to develop an intelligent surveillance system for automatic event detection. The proposed system will operate in an indoor environment to notify the user of events of interest in real-time. Most standard systems use visible-light cameras and basic change detection methods (e.g. Background subtraction) to recognize simple events such as intrusion. Instead, we […]

This research project with the industry partner DataWind inc. is an interdisciplinary project that joins together Education, Learning system engineering, and Human-machine interactions. The challenge is to combine these four disciplines’ contributions in order to create a learning system for mobile devices that will be adapted to the individual self-learning, particularly for children in developing […]

Depuis quelques années, on assiste à l’augmentation du nombre de femmes voulant devenir entrepreneure dans les pays industrialisés. Toutefois, des obstacles sont identifiés dans leur parcours entrepreneurial, notamment l’accès au capital, la performance de leur entreprise, le réseautage, la formation et les enjeux liés à la conciliation travail-famille, ce qui nuit à leur passage à […]

The proposed internship project deals with the compilation and preparation of relevant scientific content for the Association for Preservation Technology International (APTI) Technical Committee on Sustainable Preservation, which is currently developing an innovative “Online Sustainable Conservation Assistance Resource.” Also known as OSCAR, this tool is aimed at becoming an “interactive resource that establishes a clear […]

The aim of project is to establish a secure remote proxy connection between two parties where one party is behind a firewall or say NAT. This strategy is required in Martello’s product, MarWatch where technician is remotely located from client. In case, client faces any trouble, services from technician are invoked making sure they do […]

La pyrolyse rapide est procédé thermochimique qui permet de transformer une biomasse en trois produits : une phase liquide (majoritaire) appelée biohuile, une phase solide appelée biochar et une phase gazeuse. Ce projet de recherche Mitacs consiste à étudier cette phase gazeuse produit par pyrolyse rapide de déchets agricoles et à en évaluer les valorisations […]

Le PBRM est un inhibiteur de la biosynthèse des estrogènes ciblant la 17 betahydroxystéroïde déshydrogénase type 1, une enzyme impliquée dans la dernière étape de la production de l’estradiol et qui pourrait être avantageusement utilisée pour traiter certaines maladies estrogéno-sensibles comme le cancer du sein et l’endométriose. Cet inhibiteur unique, par sa capacité à inhiber […]

One of the most significant fastener alternatives in the market of timber construction is the emergence of self-tapping wood screws (STS). This fastener has primarily been developed to reinforce the weakest strength properties of wood. To extent the application possibility of STS in timber construction, future research needs to address the potential of such screws […]

Post-construction monitoring and bird and bat carcass searches will be performed over two terms from mid-May to the end of June, and mid-October to mid-August at 8 wind energy sites around Nova Scotia. The data collected will be collected at each site 3 times per week at first light and will include counts, species, time […]

Les entreprises ont de plus en plus recours à des sous-traitants pour gérer leurs systèmes informatiques. L’une des raisons expliquant cette tendance est le rôle qu’occupent maintenant les systèmes informatiques dans les opérations courantes. Il est inacceptable qu’une panne informatique amène l’arrêt de toutes les caisses enregistreuses des magasins d’une grande chaîne ou encore l’arrêt […]
