Our project will investigate reasons for and against posthumous organ donation, and aims to better understand the motives and deterrents for becoming, or not becoming, a registered organ donor. The results of this study will inform the development of public awareness campaigns designed to address the concerns and viewpoints of the Canadian public and have […]

Les circonstances qui accompagnent les événements extrêmes forcent les équipes de secours à travailler de près afin de limiter les dommages potentiels. La collaboration en contexte d’intervention d’urgence est particulièrement complexe à établir, mais tout autant essentielle. Les technologies qui supportent ces processus de coopération se trouvent au coeur de l’action et leur bon fonctionnement […]

In a cloud context, it is important to synchronize the information between nodes of the system. This research looks as existing problems and provides improvements in terms of performance and availability. For that reason, cloud management solutions are needed which will benefit Ericsson with new mechanisms for uniformity of information between nodes. And, the same […]

Teams of specialized workers develop most software. For example, one team may specialize in the requirements that describe what the software is to do. Another team may specialize in producing the software itself. Yet another team may specialize in determining whether the software meets the desired requirements. Supporting communication between all these teams is challenging: […]

In a multi-tenant cloud environment, several tenants share the same physical resources. To ensure security of tenants’ data and process, appropriate security measures should be implemented by the cloud provider at multiple layers. Particularly, appropriate controls for end-to-end network isolation must be put in place. The proposed research project aims at elaborating innovative and efficient […]

A higher incidence of colon cancer is reported in populations consuming high amounts of red meat, as well as in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, where gut bacteria participate in the development of inflammation. We found that dietary supplementation with heme, an element found at high levels in blood, is detrimental to gut health and […]

Hydrocarbons are hosted in porous sedimentary rocks which were deposited several million years prior to the ingress of hydrocarbons. Once these sedimentary rocks are deposited, other physical, chemical and biological, all termed diagenetic, processes act to modify their original properties. A major product of this diagenesis is cementation. The cement (minerals) occludes (plugs) the pore […]

Predicting the quantity of mineral (gold, coper, etc) or hydrocarbon (oil, gas) extracted from a given deposit is difficult. One concern is the uncertainty in the resources underground. A few initial wells or drill holes give us access to an estimate of the quantity of resource, but there is great uncertainty because sampling can be […]

Oil-sands reservoirs offer huge resource potential with very low decline rates compared to other unconventional exploration targets. Unfortunately, this comes with the trade-off of requiring high initial investment as well as high operating costs. In order for such projects to be economic in the long-term, it is essential that we monitor changes in the reservoir […]

WebAssembly (WASM) is a new portable size and load-time efficient binary code format designed to serve as a compilation target for the web. WASM enables browsers to compile code bundles and run faster than existing Javascript. It will include both a binary notation, that compilers will produce, and a corresponding text notation, suitable for displaying […]

The proposed internship project deals with the compilation and preparation of relevant scientific content for the Association for Preservation Technology International (APTI) Technical Committee on Sustainable Preservation, which is currently developing an innovative “Online Sustainable Conservation Assistance Resource.” Also known as OSCAR, this tool is aimed at becoming an “interactive resource that establishes a clear […]

Web based anti-debug is a critical technology prevent dynamic attacks to web applications within browser environments. Irdeto has developed a set of essential anti-debug techniques that are used for projects of POC and products for protecting web applications. The research is to understand anti-debug techniques from the public domain, is developed in house, and will […]
