La stagiaire se propose d’explorer systematiquement I’offre de technologies langagieres au Canada et de mettre en parallele cette offre avec les roles des systemes d’information dans les organisations tels qu’ils sont presentes par Gurbaxani et Whang (1991). Megalexis, cabinet linguistique multiservice situe a Montreal, est bien place pour formuler des preoccupations et des questions relativement […]

Radon is a cancer-causing radioactive gas produced by the natural decay of uranium in rocks and soils. Radon can enter buildings and reach high levels in indoor air (Khan and Gomes, 2017). It is the second-leading cause of lung cancer (after smoking). killing approximating 3200 Canadians a year (Chen et al. 2012). High radon concentrations […]

Color has been a central issue in the digital imaging device industry. Customers want more vivid and natural color presented on imaging devices such as displays, printers, and cameras. Among various colors in the display system, skin color is the most critical references since it has the most perceptive impact on human visual system and […]

Quantum efficiency (QE) test equipment becomes abundantly important in numerous applications such as solar cells devices, charge-coupled devices (CCD), photodetectors, both in visible range and in infra-red (IR) spectral range. Although QE tests are becoming prevalent, every application has specific requirements to the excitation source, photovoltaic devices or instrument geometries. Sciencetech Inc. is a global […]

Phenotyping is used to develop new strains of plants, understand plant-affecting diseases (phyto-pathology) and evaluate the effects of various substances on plants. A growing variety of sensors and sensor technology is used to gather data used for phenotyping, in a non-destructive manner, and this overall process of data acquisition and analysis is being automated, leading […]

The current project seeks to develop an understanding of the process of startup organization process by examining the individual, team, and contextual characteristics that will lead to the success of a startup organization. Despite the importance of each variable, most of the literature has focused on individual characteristics, ignoring the importance of the team as […]

Digital avionics systems of today are designed for the most part with embedded computers. These computers run safety-critical real-time applications such as flight management systems (FMS) and flight control systems (FCS). Even if avionics use conservative technologies, economic concerns are constantly pushing for changes. Space, weight, power and cooling (SWaP-C) considerations are gaining importance in […]

Municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) generate a large amount of sewage sludge which requires tremendous operating costs for handling and treatment, and the final disposal of biosolids for land applications becomes less feasible because of the potential hazards (e.g., heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants) in the biosolids. In addition, some emerging contaminants have caused growing […]

Designing, building, and verifying highly energy efficient buildings presents complex challenges. Environmental factors such as the local weather, temperature swings, angle of the sun, etc. impose conditions on the building which itself has unique characteristics like its particular construction method, materials used, geometry and orientation, windows of specific properties, and so on. Then, there are […]

Robotic arms are used extensively in machining applications due to a large working envelope and easy access to restricted areas. However, low stiffness of the robot arm caused by joint flexibility introduces additional degrees-of-freedom and vibration modes, which leads to the deterioration of positioning performance. To attenuate these induced motion tracking errors and vibrations, this […]

Wastewater is an abundant and severely underutilized energy source in North America. Sewers experience predictable flow profiles and nearly constant temperatures between 18 ?C and 20 ?C year-round. When wastewater is used in conjunction with heat pumps, it can serve as an energy source and sink to provide both heating and cooling to buildings. Therefore, […]
