Solar irradiance nowcasting using partially labeled data

The main duty of Hydro-Quebec is to respond efficiently to the energy demands of customers, in a safe way while remaining competitive in the markets as well. In a changing energy context, the production of solar photovoltaic energy represents a new challenge for Hydro-Quebec, which will have to integrate and to balance this intermittent resource to guarantee the reliability of the electricity grid. The objective of this project is to support Hydro-Quebec in the development of a future-oriented energy system by proposing innovative technological solutions notably for solar radiation forecasting. The project aims to develop an artificial intelligence system that accurately forecasts solar irradiance up to 6 hours in the future for the eastern part of North-America from satellite image

Système de recommandation d’adresses pour données bilingue Français-Anglais

La mission de Tastet Inc est de lier la bonne adresse gourmande au bon visiteur du site. Dans le passé, les adresses proposées par l’équipe répondaient parfaitement à celles de nos visiteurs car les goûts étaient partagés. Par contre, avec l’expansion de Tastet et son lectorat grandissant, nous réalisons que nos propositions ne font pas toujours des heureux.
C’est pourquoi nous souhaitons pivoter à un système de recommandations qui pourra évoluer et proposer des adresses selon les données disponibles : la proximité entre les types d’adresses et les préférences de l’utilisateur qui se connecte au site.

The Sex-Specific Effects of Alternating Computer Work Postures in Young Adults

Adults exposed to extended periods of static seated computer work, especially females, have elevated risks of developping musculoskeletal symptoms. However, static standing work is also associated to issues with the musculoskeletal and vascular systems. To address this, alternating between seated and standing postures has been proposed in the form of sit-stand desks; however, their sex-specific impacts on biomechanical, performance and discomfort outcomes remain unclear. As a result, repeated measurements will be taken during a 90-minute computer task, involving both typing and mousing. Muscle activity, head-neck postural angles, visual fatigue, shoulder-neck and lower back discomfort and muscle blood flow will be measured. The project will provide sex-specific quantitative data to help improve computer workstation evidence-based ergonomic interventions which will provide the collaborating company a better understanding of how computer work postures impact the musculoskeletal system, leading to disorders and injuries, which is of utmost importance in a technology-dependent world.

Management of ecosystem services of Haute Mauricie region in Quebec

Forest ecosystems are not only a source of timber, it also provides other societal benefits such as regulation of water quality, soil quality maintenance, climate regulation and pollination among many others. However, these services are not static and they change across time and space depending on the nature and extent of the changes in land use and land cover. This study in Mauricie region of Quebec will examine how ecosystem services has changed over the past decades, how they look like at present and what are the possible future scenarios. This study is expected to generate valuable information for sustainable management strategies that will enhance the resilience of forests in the Mauricie administrative region to future disturbances.

Développement d’un dispositif de soutien aux parents pour soutenir le cheminement scolaire de leurs enfants

Le projet de recherche porte sur le soutien des parents dans le cheminement scolaire de leurs enfants qui évoluent au primaire ou au secondaire. Il vise ainsi trois objectifs : 1) comprendre l’expérience parentale en matière de soutien à la persévérance de leurs enfants; 2) identifier les besoins des parents concernant le soutien à la persévérance scolaire de leurs enfants; 3) développer un dispositif de soutien pour les parents afin qu’ils puissent mieux accompagner leurs enfants dans leur cheminement scolaire. Suivant les principes méthodologiques de la recherche-développement, nous désirons joindre 40 parents d’enfants du primaire et du secondaire de la région de Lanaudière lors de groupes de discussion pour mieux connaître leur expérience parentale et leurs besoins en matière de soutien scolaire de leurs enfants. De plus, les participants seront impliqués dans le développement d’un dispositif de soutien en réponse aux besoins exprimés concernant l’accompagnement de leurs enfants dans leur cheminement scolaire. Réalisé avec la participation du CRÉVALE (Comité régional pour la valorisation de l’éducation), ce projet contribuera à optimiser leur offre de ressources concernant le soutien de parents dans le cheminement scolaire de leurs enfants.

Development of a Hydrated Electron Dosimeter for FLASH and Conventional Radiotherapy Applications

The aim of radiation therapy is to give a high radiation dose to the tumour while minimising the dose to healthy tissues. Radiation therapy has seen significant progress and innovations in recent years. Implementation of these newly developed treatment techniques in the clinic require high accuracy in dose delivery due to the relationships between absorbed dose, local tumor control and particularly normal tissue damage. Measurements of radiation dose is important to ensure accurate dose delivery to the patients. Several techniques are available to measure the radiation dose, in vivo or in vitro but they have limitations. In particular, the non-tissue equivalence of the detector housing/material and the sensitive volume leads to perturbations of the radiation fluence and necessitates correction factors. Another constraint placed on conventional dosimetric techniques is the limited resolution. In radiotherapy, in vivo dosimetry means measurement of the radiation dose received by the patient during treatment, as opposed to ex vivo or in vitro dose measurements made either before or after the treatment using a phantom to represent the patient. The aim of this project is to develop a novel, compact, sensitive, and fast detector based on radiolysis of water, which is decomposition of water molecules by TOBECONT’.

Identification de méthodologies innovantes au soutien et au développement de services sportifs municipaux

Dans le contexte socioéconomique actuel, notamment marqué par une plus grande décentralisation des services municipaux (Mosley, 2009) et par les exigences relatives à l’efficacité et à l’efficience des ressources allouées, la reddition de ces mêmes services est un enjeu d’importance, à la fois pour les instances étatiques (les bailleurs de fonds) et pour les citoyens (les bénéficiaires). Néanmoins, les études théoriques et empiriques laissent paraître, à l’heure actuelle, d’importantes lacunes relatives à l’articulation de ces services dans le contexte ci-haut évoqué, et plus précisément à l’égard des services de sport et de loisirs offerts à l’échelle municipale. À ce titre, le présent exercice voudra, à l’aide d’une série de sous-projets, identifier des méthodes innovantes relatives au soutien et au développement de services sportifs en contexte municipal.

Synthetic Souls: An AI-based framework for designing bots in multiplayer video games

Multiplayer video game refers to games in which more than a single person can play at the same time, either by collaboration or competition. The number of available multiplayer games is tremendous and is still growing. They can range from 2 players to few thousands (e.g., massively multiplayer online role-playing game). In order to ensure the best gaming experience, multiplayer video games rely on two assumptions that are up to the players: they must create a team of the required number of people for playing the game, (2) they must play until the end of the game. In practice, such conditions can be hard to satisfy, especially for games requiring a lot of players, or when the game duration is long. Besides, the connection loss of a player could also negatively affect the gaming experience for all the players, especially for real-time games. One solution is to use intelligent agents that mimic human behaviours. Such agents are referred to as bots. the goal of this project is to design an efficient, generic, and easy-to-use framework for designing bots in multiplayer video games. To do so, we plan to use state-of-the-art ML techniques.

Spécificité des champignons ectomycorhiziens de la forêt tempérée nordique : le cas d’un champignon comestible d’intérêt pour la mycosylviculture au Témiscouata

La cueillette de champignons ectomycorhiziens comestibles gagne beaucoup en popularité dans le Bas-St-Laurent. Il est nécessaire d’acquérir des données fiables sur les besoins des champignons, afin de développer un nouveau modèle de foresterie intégrant cette ressource. Ce projet vise à identifier les espèces végétales qui s’associent à l’appareil végétatif de certains champignons comestibles via des structures appelées manchons mycorhiziens. Des échantillons de sols seront prélevés à proximité de champignons dans les forêts de la MRC de Témiscouata. Les racines portant des manchons y seront recueillies. Puis, l’espèce végétale et l’espèce fongique y étant associées seront identifiées à l’aide de technologies de séquençage génétique. Cette étude fournira de précieuses données pour le développement de la mycosylviculture, puisqu’elle permettra de choisir les arbres à privilégier pour favoriser la croissance de champignons d’intérêt. Ces nouvelles connaissances sur les dynamiques écologiques de la forêt nous permettront également d’en améliorer la productivité.
