Since the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows, bridge engineers are greatly concerned by the dynamic behavior of bridges under wind actions especially when designing long-span bridges, i.e., suspension or cable-stayed bridges. Considering that very long spans are planned such as the Messina Strait Bridge, a suspension bridge in Italy with a main span of 3.3 […]

Water flooding is the most widely applied enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process in both light and heavy oil reservoirs. In this process, water is injected into the reservoir through an injection well to displace oil in front of it towards the production well. As discussed in the attached proposal, it is generally accepted that theories […]

Advances in cloud computing have enabled the Computer-aided design industry to develop fully-synchronous, collaborative CAD. Synchronous CAD is unique in that it allows multiple users to manipulate the same CAD model at the same time, and saves changes in real time—much like a “Google Docs” document. These new design environments engender real-time collaboration and are touted to be the […]

The rural and remote communities of Atlantic Canada are plagued with insufficient and interrupted access to energy sources. Lately, the provinces of Atlantic Canada have realigned their future clean energy goals to include increased collaboration with Locally Owned Renewable Energy Small-Scale (LORESS) projects. However, no study has examined the effect of these programs on the […]

Toutes les entreprises font face au défi d’avoir à estimer les efforts de développement de leurs logiciels. Dans la littérature, la quasi-totalité des modèles d’estimation des efforts de développement de logiciels sont basés sur des données collectées a posteriori sur des projets complétés : ils correspondent donc à des modèles a posteriori modélisant le passé. […]

Un équipement sous pression est un réservoir ou une conduite conçue pour contenir des gaz ou des liquides à une pression nettement différente de la pression atmosphérique. Ce type d’équipement peut être fabriqué, entre autres, en métal ou en matériau composite. La production de ces équipements évolue de manière très significative et le développement informatique […]

The goal of this research is to develop an algorithm which allows Dataperformers to detect and match the apparel present in the video with the apparels in their inventory. To uniquely identify apparels it is very important to match them based on certain key areas. Fashion landmarks are the position of functional key-points defined on […]

Global population growth, urbanization and changing climate patterns have increased the demand for potable water, wastewater reuse and value recovery from wastewater, and for remediation of industrial process water. Population growth also results in increased demand for the shipping of goods by ocean freight, with the associated risk of the transport of unwanted marine life […]

Most of the heavy oil and bitumen produced in Western Canada is transported through pipelines to refineries in North America. Prior to transportation, the high viscosity of those fluids must be reduced by either dilution with a light solvent or upgrading. The high costs associated with handling diluents has increased the interest in upgrading; that […]
