Evaluating effectiveness of consolidated software development productivity measures

Approximately 70% of software projects do not achieve their goals. The project team offers Conflux, a productivity tool for software project managers, to monitor their projects’ productivity, health, and quality. Conflux helps the development team to be productive, motivated, and quality-oriented and provides early signs to project management to help them avoid project failure.

Healthy Active Learning

Healthy Active Learning (HAL) is a government wellbeing Initiative. It has been designed to promote and improve healthy eating and physical activity in 800 schools, Kura and early learning services across New Zealand. The student intern will help collect data by visiting primary and intermediate schools (children aged 5-13 years) throughout select regions of New […]

Kinetic-based supramolecular discrimination of clinically significant analytes

Supramolecular chemists have constructed macrocyclic structures called “hosts” that can selectively encapsulate a small molecule “guest.” Selective recognition is instrumental when trying to take host-guest chemistry to the real world. Drug detection, reversal, and delivery are growing applications for host-guest chemistry. However, things become complicated in biological systems due to the presence of salts that […]

Development and validation of a risk prediction model for severe exacerbations in patients with severe asthma

Asthma is a common disease of airways affecting 339 million people worldwide. About 5-10% of asthma patients have severe asthma, which is associated with disproportionately high risk of exacerbations (‘lung attacks’) and death. It also contributes to nearly 50% of asthma-related healthcare spending. In particular, exacerbations are a major source of burden in severe asthma. […]

Quantification of biomolecular interactions

The aim of this project is to develop novel optical and microfluidic methods to extract quantitative metrics from biological interactions. Such quantitative information will be used to understand biophysical processes – such as binding of antibodies to a cell or tissue surface as well as improving decision making in diagnostic pathology. Towards these aims, we […]

Stochastic Control in Network Coding Enabled Wireless Systems Year One

Network stochastic control is considered as a primary goal in the design of emerging wireless networks. One of the objectives in the stochastic control of wireless networks is to enable crosslayer designs to achieve stochastically optimal resource allocation in the physical and MAC layers. Different stochastic performance criteria can be considered in the optimal control […]

Apprentissage professionnel en situation de travail des enseignants: comparaison internationale

Le développement professionnel des enseignants est reconnu comme un levier incontournable d’amélioration des systèmes éducatifs. Après des décennies de recherches consacrées à l’apprentissage par la formation, l’apprentissage « informel » (Kyndt et al., 2016; Lecat et al., 2020) ou « au et par » le travail (Bourgeois & Mornata, 2012) occupe dorénavant le centre de […]

Application of stochastic optimal control on a back somersault

The creation of innovative acrobatics is difficult for coaches due to the interaction of physical principles involved in simultaneous rotations on multiple axis. Numerical simulation can be useful to generate acrobatics without involving supplementary risks for the athletes. However, the accuracy of the simulation is important if we want athletes to try the new techniques […]

Day-night MOF- based TiO2/WO3 photocatalyst for CO2 reduction

Climate change caused by accumulative CO2 emission (due to the rapid development of human industry) has become an imminent threat to human beings as witnessed by the more and more frequent reports on sea-level rising, storm, and wildfire. The close-loop CO2 recycling, including CO2 capture, storage, and utilization has thus attracted enormous attention from researchers […]
