The ever-increasing demand for high-throughput links for datacenters applications forces module suppliers to develop optical transceivers that operate at higher bit rates. TeraXion is currently developing such transceivers in a silicon photonic chip for 100G/400G datacom applications. Among other components, the silicon photonic chip will comprise several modulators, necessary to encode the information into the […]

The organization partner is currently allocating video advertisement inside mobile applications. The mobile applications that publish the video advertisement are designated as publisher. To allocate the video advertisement inside the right mobile application, the potential publishers are manually searched in the Apple App store. This search process is a bottleneck. It also involves a lot […]

Now a days maintenance has turned into a management-related field, and is capable of being a support for benefit(Cost reduction ).Several fundamental questions are arising including the identification of the most appropriate performance metrics in predictive maintenance and the recognition of relationship between this metrics and lean definition in order to have a better maintenance […]

This research project with the industry partner DataWind inc. is an interdisciplinary project that joins together Education, Learning system engineering, and Human-machine interactions. The challenge is to combine these four disciplines contributions in order to create a learning system for mobile devices that will be adapted to the individual self-learning, particularly for children in developing countries. […]

Pension funds and insurance companies generally have prior commitments with fixed terms. As a result, these institutional investors might need to alter their investment strategies drastically with low interest rates, which will in turn affect the performances of their portfolios. In this research project, we plan to study the effect of interest rates on the […]

Hundreds of millions of children in developing countries are unable to complete primary education. Mobile devices such as tablets are increasingly inexpensive and becoming accessible in large numbers in such developing countries. We propose developing educational software for such tablets to help children acquire arithmetic skills. To do this, we will develop new ways of […]

Autism is a growing public health challenge in Canada and internationally. Despite major scientific advances in autism research and improvements in practice, families still experience serious delays and complications in diagnosis and access to care. Moreover, community capacity, e.g., treatment and support programs, remains very limited relative to the needs of those affected. In turn, […]

During the summer of 2015, I would like to replicate two of the intensive news-flow studies we conducted a decade ago on the Web sites of six daily newspapers, in order to assess whether any changes have occurred in the news maps these newspapers produce. Our initial studies — in 2003 and 2004 — were […]

Besides typical personal usages, mobile devices are also being integrated into enterprises, government agencies, and military networks. Consequently, these devices held valuable sensitive information which makes them face the same level of malicious attacks that have targeted the desktop environments over the past three decades. Ensuring the securing open mobile platform such as Android requires […]

Authentication and encryption are two intertwined technologies that help ensure data and network security. While in most people’s minds confidentiality is the primary goal of cryptography, message authentication is arguably as important. Deploying two separate primitives for the encryption and the authentication, in addition to being an inefficient solution, may not necessarily achieve the two […]

The fundamental mechanisms of aging are conserved from yeast to humans. We use the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model system with which to study the molecular mechanisms of aging. Our high-throughput chemical genetic screen of extensive compound libraries has identified lithocholic acid (LCA), a bile acid, as a potent anti-aging and anti-cancer compound (Aging […]

A hallmark of linguistic communication is that ‘what is said’ often underdetermines ‘what is intended’ by a given utterance. Sentences such as ‘The author began the book’ or ‘The boy finished the game’ are semantically indeterminate because it is not clear what the author or the boy were really doing. When the activity is not […]
