Les dirigeants de petites et moyennes entreprises forestières, aussi appelés entrepreneurs forestiers, sont au coeur du réseau de création de valeur du secteur forestier au Québec. Il s’avère important d’actualiser nos connaissances sur le sujet, car la situation du secteur forestier a grandement évolué depuis le début des année 2010, par exemple le secteur fait […]

Video Games require a vast array of different computations to present the desired experience. These computations must be completed consistently to make the software responsive to the user. The industry trend towards many separate processors (multi-core) in the same phYSical device and the emergence of network based ‘cloud’ computing have created many opportunities, but also […]

With increasingly urban populations worldwide and a growing need to ensure ecosystem service provision, managers must plan not only for the urban woodlands we have today, but also for what they might become. This project will develop indicators to detect changes urban woodland succession and its repercussions on future biodiversity. Using existing environmental monitoring data […]

Deliberate massive sand influx used to increase oil recovery from shallow heavy oil resources ultimately results in low oil recovery. This means 85-95% of oil would remain unrecovered during the co-production of oil and sand process, which is referred to as Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand (CHOPS). In this project, we looked at the […]

We have seen the acceleration of global warming in recent years. Green-energy powered electronic devices are more desirable. In this proposal, we propose to develop an energy harvesting circuit and implement it on a system-on-chip. The design goals are low-cost, user-friendly, and portable. By partnering with Hidaca Ltd., our ultimate goal is to have this […]

This project aims to explore the application of remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS, aka drones) to assess forest health, explore early identification of disease and infestation and provide quantitative post-harvest analysis. The use of drones for this type of assessment has the potential to improve the overall picture of forest health, aid in decision-making regarding […]

Our space-based radio-frequency communication is suffering from the use of simple phase shifters. Its bandwidth capability is limited, ultimately reducing the satellite’s capacity and the system’s service availability. Most electronic beamforming implementations are bulky, frequency dependent and they consume a significant amount of power. To replace those electronic components, structures which guide light on microchips […]

Le présent projet de recherche vise à dresser un portrait de l’état de santé mentale des entrepreneurs québécois, afin de proposer des interventions adaptées à leur réalité. S’inspirant des similitudes entre les entrepreneurs et les athlètes, cette recherche-action vise s’inspirer des meilleures pratiques dans le sport de haut niveau, afin de constater si certaines techniques […]

BRIDGR is developing its Supplier/Expert Mapping tool, which will present the qualification of suppliers (with the development of a qualification index), the classification of these suppliers/experts, and an intelligent visualization with selection criteria adapted to the customers’ needs. This BRIDGR tool requires knowledge and expertise in business intelligence, process mapping, database management, and artificial intelligence; […]

The project to be conducted is to help improve Hawkins and Co’s internal systems by creating a streamlined process for retrieving data allowing communication and accuracy to be more effective and efficient. Currently, the company can find it difficult to gather data effectively, especially having to work from home due to COVID. This project will […]

Nowadays, software projects are no longer isolated but drive the business process of many non-IT companies. With the rise of AI applied in many industries, the problem of optimally scheduling tasks and allocating proper resources has significantly increased the challenge because of the diversity of tasks and stakeholders in the project. Due to the large […]

Osteoporosis is a generalized skeletal disorder common in older adults, in which a reduction in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) decreases bone’s strength and can result in an increased risk of fragility fractures. One of the sites commonly affected by osteoporosis is the proximal femur (“hip”), the fracture of which greatly decreases mobility and function, as […]
