Refonte et élargissement du champ d’application de l’outil «Évaluation des coûts économiques des bris d’infrastructures souterraines»

Les infrastructures souterraines sont essentielles pour les services publics. Toutefois, en 2022, le Canada a enregistré une moyenne de 42,4 bris d’infrastructures souterraines causés par des tiers par jour de travail, posant des risques pour la sécurité et générant des coûts importants. Les coûts directs de réparation sont identifiables, mais les impacts sociaux et environnementaux […]

Optimization of laser beam machining process parameters to minimize recast layer

This project focuses on improving the component quality after Laser Beam Machining (LBM) for HS188 (AMS5608), a superalloy critical in aerospace and power generation due to its high strength and corrosion resistance. LBM often leaves a recast layer, a residue of resolidified molten material on the side edges, which weakens the material’s strength and corrosion […]

Optimizing the healthcare of refugees in Alberta through the evaluation of a principles-based care model: the New Canadians Health Centre

Refugees face multifaceted health needs, due to fleeing home, living in a refugee camp, and limited access to healthcare. Research underscores the need for comprehensive healthcare for refugees to foster long-term positive outcomes. Therefore, in 2021, the New Canadians Health Centre (NCHC) was established as a principles-based community health centre, with a mandate to provide […]

Visualization and Explainable AI (XAI) Techniques in Check Fraud Detection

Check fraud continues to be a substantial challenge in the financial sector, involving the unauthorized use of checks for illegal fund acquisition. To address the issue of fraud detection, specific Artificial Intelligence models, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), have been increasingly applied to classify checks as fraudulent or legitimate. However, there is a crucial aspect […]
