La fatigue etant la principale causes de defaillance des turbines hydroelectriques, il devient essentiel d’estimer la performance des methodes d’inspection non destructives presentement utilisees par les producteurs d’energie (inspection visuelle etlou ultrasonore) pour detecter et caracteriser les manifestations de ceUe fatigue. Le developpement de modeles probabilistes, qui lient I’historique des conditions operatoires des turbines, I’evolution […]

Stroke is a devastating disease that causes a loss of blood to the brain and neuronal death. The sustained inflammation caused by stroke is associated with poor outcomes. Currently, there are no effective treatment options. Exciting new studies have shown a link between bacteria in the gut and brain. This has generated significant interest regarding […]

The discrimination between viral and bacterial infections has long been a goal in the field of point-of-care (PoC) diagnostics. Such a diagnostic tool would prevent the over-prescription of antibiotics, a leading cause of antimicrobial resistance. Current standard methods involve sending patient samples (throat swabs, blood, urine) to specialized clinical labs. This usually involves expensive and […]

The integrity of energy pipelines is managed using information obtained from in-line inspections, which are periodically performed non-destructive inspections of the pipe wall to detect and size defects like corrosion, cracks, and dents. The coordinate systems for referencing the locations of the detected defects varies from inspection to inspection. It is therefore necessary to align […]

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a kind of chronic neurodevelopmental disorders that detrimentally affect the behavior and development in children. There is a tight need for efficient treatment. Scientific evidences have shown that the gut microbiota as well as their metabolites may mediate the responsiveness to changes in diet (e.g. ketogenic diet). However, clinically relevant […]

L’utilisation des outils d’analyse du cycle de vie permet de réduire considérablement l’impact environnemental des bâtiments. À l’aide de ces résultats, les concepteurs peuvent améliorer la performance environnementale de leurs bâtiments. Toutefois, l’utilisation de ces outils dans le domaine est encore très peu répandue. Afin de faciliter leur adoption, plusieurs fournisseurs de logiciels proposent des […]

Electronic systems have advanced to the point that our daily activities depend on them and we trust the Integrated Circuits (IC) within the electronic devices to perform their required operation. Due to current manufacturing trends, ICs are outsourced to third parties, and may cause the integrity of the IC to be compromised. Systems that rely […]

This research project will examine the how digital networking technologies that use geo-targeted data can be used for social movement building. The project will analyze how grassroots community engagement can be optimized for online networks and digital technologies, and will engage with artists and activists who do this work, in a participatory relationship, in order […]

This research project investigates methods for detecting damage and breakage in fibers used in fiber-reinforced polymer composite pressure piping. Of primary interest is Acoustic Emission (AE) technology to isolate and identify damage types and corresponding AE features for fiber reinforcement rupturing when exposed service loads and different environmental conditions. Sound signals produced by fiber rupture […]

Thales vient de lancer son accélérateur AI@Centech. Situé à Montréal, l’accélérateur a pour objectif d’accompagner, sous forme de cohortes de 6 mois, des start-ups qui fournissent des solutions basées sur l’intelligence artificielle (AI). Cette grappe Mitacs, qui réunit des stagiaires de l’ÉTS et de Polytechnique Montréal, vient appuyer Thales dans la structuration de son accélérateur, […]

Depuis quelques années, de plus en plus de petites ou moyennes entreprises intègrent le marketing de contenu dans leurs stratégies sur les réseaux sociaux. Ce marketing consiste «?à créer et à distribuer du contenu pertinent et précieux afin d’attirer, d’acquérir et d’engager un public cible clairement défini et bien compris, dans le but de générer […]

Overactive bladder (OAB) is an incurable, chronic medical condition that is characterized by symptoms of urgency, frequency, nocturia and urinary incontinence. It affects approximately 18% of adults and over 30% of the elderly population. Saphenous nerve stimulation is a novel therapy aimed at treating OAB patients. It offers an alternative to bladder medication, which can […]
