Electric vehicles have been adopted around the world as an alternative to combustion engine vehicles. It has been a focus for academic and industry research efforts to develop battery materials with reduced cobalt, but the removal of cobalt comes at a cost. Reduced cobalt often decreases the stability of these materials. Further improvements to the […]

L’industrie de la valorisation de bois fait face aujourd’hui à des défis de plus en plus complexes. En plus de leur quête continuelle de performance et de compétitivité, des facteurs tels que les changements climatiques, la disponibilité des ressources, l’augmentation des sources de variabilité ou bien même la rareté des compétences augmentent la pression sur […]

Culture of cells in three-dimension (30) allows cells to interact with their surrounding and grow in all directions and behave in a manner that is more closely associated to how they would in vivo as long as their nutrient and environmental requirements are maintained. In this context, bioprinting offers an advantage over 20 cell cultures […]

Les algues sont considérées comme un aliment à haute valeur nutritive. Cependant, la consommation de ces dernières en tant qu’aliments est peu répandue dans les pays occidentaux. Une manière d’augmenter l’apport en algues serait de les incorporer dans des produits traditionnels. Pour ce faire, il est possible de préparer des produits alimentaires intermédiaires (PAI) d’algues […]

In the recent years, blockchain technologies have shown promise as infrastructure for decentralized trustless anonymous digital asset exchange. The technology promises to transform how the data is shared in many areas including financial sector, insurance and gaming industries. Yet several obstacles prevent mainstream adoption of this technology – one of these challenges is security. To […]

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) combine communication and information technology functions to the physical components of a system for purposes of monitoring, controlling, and automation. The power grid is becoming one of the largest CPS, where grid components are controlled based on the synergies in the cyberspace. CPS hold a great promise to improve the efficiency and […]

The release of 5G network in near future will provide reliable connectivity, higher throughput, better service quality, and more efficient signaling. The network traffic load will continuously rise with more and more mobile users using the internet services. There is a need to forecast wireless network traffic load to manage network resources efficiently and provide […]

Smartphone based indoor navigation services are desperately needed in an indoor GPS-denied environment, such as in Combat-zone Surveillance, Health Monitoring, Fire Detection, etc. The Receive Signal Strength (RSS) based algorithms are commonly used in indoor localization, which rely on the WiFi fingerprint data built by the Mobile Crowdsensing approach. Conventional statistical and probability techniques are […]

The new wireless network technology will provide users with a higher communication quality. However, we will face two critical problems: the wireless traffic will increase considerably, and the wireless signals will contain noise. The Wifi signals are represented as time series, but processing and removing noise from such huge-volume, high-dimensional and complex data pose great […]

This project is an effort to integrate two of the emerging technologies of our time, i.e., Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain. The purpose of this integration is to overcome the drawbacks of individual technologies and work in coherence for mutual benefits. Most of the current AI systems currently deployed are black boxes and they do not […]

Anomaly detection or outlier detection is a technique to identify rare items, observations or events which are differing significantly from most of the data or do not conform to the expected behavior of the system. Typically, anomalous data cause numerous problems in the computer networking and communication system. This project aims to develop an advanced […]

The large amount of information available today on the web brings many challenges to the information retrieval and artificial Intelligence communities. Moreover, personalization is a key component in today’s successful mobile websites and interactive applications. In order to be effective, these websites are required to provide visitors with the information they need without the complexity […]
