Amélioration des activités de conception d’équipements personnalisés

Dans nos sociétés industrielles où les couts de la main d’oeuvre sont élevés, pour demeurer compétitif dans le marché
global, les entreprises manufacturières doivent miser non seulement sur la technologie mais aussi sur sa mise en oeuvre la
plus performante possible À l’ère du tout numérique, supporter les activités de l’entreprise par des moyens informatiques
n’est plus suffisant, Il faut une adéquation entre les meilleures pratiques du domaine et les systèmes numériques pour
augmenter la productivité et offrir les produits les mieux adaptés aux spécifications variables des clients,
Ce projet vise à déterminer les meilleurs processus de conception et de les adapter aux systèmes de conception assistée
par ordinateur et de gestion du cycle de vie des produits (Product Lifecyde management) pour proposer des équipements
personnalisés en fonction des besoins des clients tout en maximisant la réutilisation des composants standards et existants,
en évitant les erreurs couteuses et en réduisant les délais de livraison.
Nous évaluerons également le potentiel de nouvelles approches telles que le “Model Based Definition”et les applications de
conception automatique pour le personnalisage de masse d’équipements.

Analyse biométrique de la tolérance au risque : étude expérimentale sur des professionnels en finance

Les banques reposent généralement sur de courts questionnaires afin de déterminer quel est le profil d’un investisseur et entre autres, sa tolérance au risque. Nous nous posons donc la question de savoir s’il existe des différences entre les réponses données à de tels questionnaires, simples ou plus complexes en format écrit, et la véritable réaction émotionnelle d’une personne en contexte réel. Pour ce faire, l’oculométrie et la reconnaissance d’émotions faciales sont les deux techniques que nous allons employer afin de répondre à cette problématique. Découvrir de grandes différences aurait un intérêt économique énorme car un des buts fondamentaux de la finance et d’allouer ses actifs de la meilleure manière possible, c’est-à-dire faire correspondre les besoins des uns avec les autres tout en respectant les préférences et les contraintes des différents partis. S’assurer que l’argent des individus est placé en fonction de leur véritable tolérance au risque représente donc un grand intérêt pour une banque qui voudrait offrir le meilleur service à ses clients tout en employant des gestionnaires adéquats, capables eux aussi de réagir de la bonne manière en temps voulu.

Treatment of mastitis infections in dairy cattle

Dairy industry is one of the largest industries in Canada with an annual turnover of $17 billion. Dairy producers in Saskatchewan sell over 273 million litres of milk a year, valued at 180 million dollars. Mastitis is a potentially fatal mammary gland infection in dairy herds that causes a significant reduction in milk production. The disease accounts a revenue loss of $400 million in Canada annually and the treatment of mastitis is a substantial economic burden to the dairy industry. This proposal aims at developing novel anti-bacterial drugs that can be safely administered to dairy cattle for treating mastitis. The project involves close collaboration with SaskMilk and dairy farms across Saskatchewan and will help support the production of safe and healthy milk for consumers. The newly designed drug will also lead to overcoming drug resistance that poses a threat for successful antimicrobial treatment for mastitis.

Learning tools to predict treatment responses for schizophrenia from neuroimaging data

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder associated with a significant health, social and financial burden, not only for patients but also for their families, and society. However, the current treatment methods have been only partially successful, mainly due to the inter-individual differences between patients, which means that a treatment that is successful for one patient, might not work for another. Here, we will explore ways to determine whether a treatment will be successful based on measurable features, including many derived from various modalities of magnetic resonance imaging of patient’s brain. The proposed project aims to develop systems that can learn models that will enable psychiatrists to administer “patient-specific treatment”, by using earlier clinical experience to determine which treatment is best suited for each individual patient, based on measurements from brain scans. Such an objective evidence-based approach can potentially improve patient outcome as these
clinical decisions would be less influenced by the subjective diagnostic tools that are currently used in
psychiatric practice.

Traitement de données automatisé pour véhicules autonomes de sondage hydrographique par sonar multi-faisceau

Ce projet de recherche a pour objectif de développer des logiciels d’analyse qualité de données provenant de systèmes hydrographique basés sur un sonar multifaisceau. Le projet va donc contribuer à automatiser un certain nombre de traitements de données et d’analyser la qualité des données acquises en quasi-temps réel. Le caractère innovant du projet réside intrinsèquement dans les méthodes mathématiques employées pour réaliser l’analyse qualité, qui permettront de produire des outils s’appliquant à la fois:
– à des systèmes habités traditionnels,
– à des systèmes autonomes qui constituent le futur de l’hydrographie.
Un des volets du projet concerne l’application à des véhicules autonomes de surface. On s’intéressera à développer des méthodes permettant à ces véhicules d’embarquer une intelligence hydrographique leur permettant de planifier et re-planifier leur mission afin de maximiser la qualité des données.

Characterization of molecular pathways mediating the effects of novel therapeutic agents in heart failure

Heart failure (HF) is a condition that develops after the heart becomes damaged or weakened. HF occurs when the pumping action of the heart is not strong enough to move blood around, especially during increased activity or under stress. In addition, the heart muscle may not relax properly to accommodate the flow of blood back from the lungs to the heart. These abnormalities in heart function can cause fluid to back up in lungs and in other parts of body. More than 30% of subjects with HF develop pulmonary hypertension (PH); a condition associated with a poor quality of life and reduced survival. PH associated with left heart disease (LHD), classified as group II PH, is most common in patients with HF: those with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and those with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).There is however currently no therapy that can selectively target the molecular processes responsible for PH due to LHD and these subjects still unfortunately progress to right ventricular failure and death. PBI-4050 and PBI-4547 are a novel therapeutic agents developed by ProMetic targeting an orphan receptor that is highly expressed in lung tissues of animals with HF. TO BE CONT.
