La démarche d’une organisation à but non lucratif (OBNL) vise à réussir sa transformation numérique tout en créant de la valeur pour ses clients, projets et services. Les étapes clés du processus comprennent l’analyse de l’organisation avant sa transformation numérique, l’identification des domaines prioritaires d’intervention, l’évaluation de son niveau de maturité, l’identification des besoins en […]

Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is a process of building products with the material layer by layer. It can produce the products with complex geometries in a simple setup. But it is a challenge in selecting right printing parameters to build a quality part. This project proposes using machine learning techniques for […]

The Global Positioning System (GPS) has become an indispensable component of both civil and Geomatics practices. However, the GPS observations provide heights that refer to a reference ellipsoid and are not directly suitable for practical purposes. To transform GPS heights into physical (orthometric) heights referenced to an equipotential surface representing mean sea level on land, […]

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) represent an emerging technology, and initially, individuals may feel less confident in autonomous driving systems without human drivers. A proper communication medium between passengers and AVs can facilitate a safe and reliable experience. Older adults are expected to be one of the largest user cohorts of AVs as they support aging in […]

Have you heard about DALL·E 2, Midjourney or Stable Diffusion? Or perhaps you were fooled by the picture of the pope in a puffy white coat, or by some other deepfake memes involving stars and/or politicians? Well, good or bad, these feats are made possible by a technology called generative diffusion models. Although they are […]

Urban streams are commonly unsuitable for salmon. One reason is pollution that rainfall washes from roads into waterways. For instance, coho salmon are very sensitive to a car tire additive present in road dust. It has killed adults before they spawn and likely affects young salmon too. This problem has been described in the US […]

The proposed research will investigate two brain imaging measures that hold potential as tools for the diagnosis and assessment of traumatic brain injury (TBI), including mild TBI (mTBI)/concussion. One type of image provides information about structural damage to the brain’s anatomical connections, and the other about the functional connectivity of networks of brain regions that […]

The 4th industrial revolution, Industry 4.0, aims for flexible production via automated robots. Central to this is the integration of the 5G System (5GS) with deterministic, low latency, wireline data communication. Foundational technologies include IEEE 802.1 Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) and IETF Deterministic Networking (DetNet), which, when combined with 5G, enhance industrial automation. The synergy […]

In the modern era of increased digital and online operations, Security Operation Centers (SOCs) serve as frontline warriors, diligently monitoring and responding to a myriad of cyber security incidents. The SOC team at the project partner’s organization routinely investigates and responds to similar security incidents faced by clients. This project focuses on improving the quality […]

Bearings are crucial components in various industries, such as power generation, aerospace, and oil and gas. Predicting a bearing’s Remaining Useful Life (RUL) is essential for Condition-Based Maintenance. To achieve accurate RUL predictions, an accurate Health Indicator (HI) that represents degradation patterns is necessary. However, existing HIs can be affected by time varying working conditions […]

5G is the latest and fastest wireless internet technology that is not only being used by phone companies, but also in businesses, factories, and the military. As 5G is being used in more places and for different purposes, it gets more complicated and faces more security risks. Imagine many different gadgets, from phones to cars […]

Favorable propagation studies for massive MIMO systems: mMIMO is a key technology for 5G and beyond, due to its ability to deliver high spectral efficiency/rate in multi-user environments using simplified (linear) processing. Its advantages can be fully exploited under certain conditions known compactly as “favorable propagation” (FP). Unlike the known methods, which rely on sophisticated […]
