This project aims enhance the safety and reliability of hydropower systems by preventing the creation of significant sub-atmospheric pressures (i.e. vacuum) in penstocks during rapid dewatering events. Air-intake systems relieve vacuum conditions, but the 3D flow dynamics around these systems during emergency scenarios are not fully understood. The project will develop a comprehensive suite of […]

Selecting the right person for a job or admitting the right individual into a medical school of similar professional program is an important but complex task. Decision-makers rely on assessment tools to help them know more about the knowledge, skills, and abilities of potential applicants before they make their choices. The Casper test by Acuity […]

Canadian children and youth have been described as more socially engaged, educated, and diverse than previous generations, yet they also face unprecedented challenges. Youth are reporting social disconnection and mental health concerns at alarming rates. These challenges were higher for youth during the COVID-19 global pandemic, just as access to supports are limited – disproportionately […]

The proposed research project aims to understand how young adults from immigrant families in Canada maintain their home language while also learning English. A intern will help by recruiting participants, collecting and analyzing data through surveys and interviews, and developing a parenting program with community partner. The research will explore how factors like English proficiency, […]

PennyLane, une plateforme pour le développement de logiciels quantiques, possède l’avantage d’être indépendante des ressources matérielles utilisées. Xanadu, la compagnie conceptrice de PennyLane, a développé en collaboration avec ses partenaires des plugiciels permettant aux utilisateurs de répartir des fonctions quantiques vers différentes machines quantiques. Calcul Québec s’est ajouté à ces partenaires de développement pour créer […]

Développer et perfectionner une méthode d’étude, d’analyse et d’interprétation du patrimoine architectural moderne. Il s’agit en premier lieu de documenter et de reconnaître les différentes approches conceptuelles, méthodologiques et techniques. Deuxièmement, la démarche vise à élaborer des prémisses, des méthodes et des stratégies opérationnelles pour un projet de conservation et de restauration contemporain. Enfin ces […]

Digital twin is a virtual representation of an object or system designed to accurately reflect the physical object. In the interior design field, this physical object can be a room of a building, or the entire building itself. Creating a digital twin for interior design involves capturing a virtual representation of a physical space, then […]

Climate change is changing the distribution of mosquitoes, allowing them to become established in new places, potentially resulting in increased risk of mosquito-borne disease. The recent arrival of the invasive northern house mosquito, Culex pipiens, to Alberta is one such example. This mosquito, a major pest species found natively in Europe, is considered among the […]

During visual regression testing of video games, automated techniques are employed to identify visual bugs. Visual bugs can be detected by just looking at them, such as those related to texture and lighting, but also more complex ones like those related to the physics engine (such as a flying horse) that require common-sense reasoning. The […]

Telecom operators are demanding more flexible, scalable and energy efficient products. As a system integrator managing networks for operators, Ericsson realize that the benefits of using modern and improved systems is becoming even more critical, as they offer a reduced Operational and Capital Expenditure (i.e. OPEX and CAPEX) of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) systems.
