While mountain biking is a sport of growing popularity among adolescents and adults alike, it is also notoriously injurious. Mountain biking is associated with high rates of head injuries, and exposure to sub-concussive head acceleration events. Despite this, limited research has investigated the extent to which mountain biking participation contributes to brain injury and cognitive […]

La mesure de pression artérielle en continue et sans brassard est largement convoitée par le milieu clinique. Ce stage permettra de contribuer à une preuve de concept qui pourrait permettre cette mesure. Plus précisement, ce stage consiste à développer l’electronique permettant l’acquisition des données provenant de différents capteurs utilisé dans une telle mesure.

Le réseau électrique d’Hydro-Québec est protégé par un peu plus de 9000 disjoncteurs haute et moyenne tension. La maintenance des disjoncteurs est d’une importance absolue pour assurer leur fiabilité et leur longévité de service. Cependant, le réseau est vieillissant et une maintenance systématique n’est pas une solution optimale pour garantir leur fiabilité qui change avec […]

TERRA FIRMA (TF), an InterAccess-led project, aims to grow relationships between arts organizations and Black, Indigenous, and Disability Justice-centred (BIDJ) communities by platforming, learning from, and supporting these communities’ techno-cultural knowledge stewardship, accessibility, and harm reduction models. The project will prototype and implement organizational tools collaboratively with these communities, sharing resources and knowledge within artistic, […]

Le numérique est désormais omniprésent dans nos activités quotidiennes. Nombreuses de nos actions sont numérisées, analysées et assistées par un ordinateur. Or, nous produisons de plus en plus de logiciels et les bugs (ou souvent les défauts de spécification) sont largement sous-estimés. La tendance en effet et à produire des mises à jour (parfois quotidiennes, souvent hebdomadaires) plutôt […]

This research project is mainly concerned with maximizing distributed multiteam performance in the context of “extreme” work conditions. These conditions are those in which the human workforce is faced with safety-critical decisions, work overload, stress, complex peer interactions, uncertainty, and the prospect of serious consequences for error or delay. Fulfillment of project’s objectives will be […]

QUBER, a financial wellness program addressing financial stress and promoting short-term saving habits. QUBER generates revenue by charging a per employee per month fee to employers/organizations. Organizations offer QUBER as a financial wellness benefit to their employees. With large growth expected in 2024 and beyond, our systems and team must scale to support the onboarding […]

In power systems, dynamic simulation studies are required to ensure safe and secure operation of electrical grid. In these studies, different devices, such as generators and transmission lines, are represented by a mathematical model with a number of predefined parameters. The accuracy of the simulation studies highly depend on the models used for different components. […]

The demand for higher bandwidth and ultra-lower latency has increased due to the rise of wireless devices. To meet these challenges, fifth generation (5G) new radio (NR) offers enhanced bandwidths with higher data rates and ultra-lower latency for real-time applications. The ultra-dense networks in 5G NR can improve the coverage. However, it can cause problem […]

Pilot training plays an important role in the aerospace industry and must also be aligned with the industry’s objective to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Electrification of training aircraft is a solution already being implemented by training services such as CAE. However, current battery technology is limiting the potential benefits of a direct retrofit […]

Buffalo Buffalo is currently developing commercial Fresh Tracks, an innovative virtual reality game that combines skiing, music, and roguelike elements. This game offers an immersive VR experience where players navigate through mystical realms, guided by folklore narratives, and driven by a dynamic, original soundtrack. To bolster the development of Fresh Tracks, in addition to other […]

The aim of this research project is to understand how voluntary employment changes can affect the career results of workers in the Brazilian labour market. We aim to use a unique administrative dataset from the Brazilian Ministry of Labour that provides detailed longitudinal information on workers, their jobs, and the firms they work for. This […]
