Assurance qualité en continu pour la maintenance d’applications web

Les sites et les applications web contiennent souvent des bugs d’affichage : boutons mal placés ou non fonctionnels, éléments partiellement cachés par d’autres, etc. Ces bugs peut relever d’un simple problème esthétique, ou, de manière plus sévère, compromettre la fonctionnalité de l’application

Operationalizing quality evaluation for heterogeneous legacy systems

Most large companies use software systems that were developed over decades. They comprise systems that are in different programing languages and must all communicate with one another to solve bUSiness problems. As these systems become increasingly large and complex, there is a need to develop tools and techniques to ensure their quality. Current state-of-the-art techniques […]

Transcritical CO2 Pulverization

Crushing and grinding rock is the largest consumer of energy at a mining operation. Breaking rock by expansion within is a lower energy process than crushing or impact from outside, since rock tensile strength is significantly lower than rock compressive strength. This research intends to explore and develop a novel method for rock comminution using […]

Optimizations of AC/DC Converters for Powering 5G Network

The telecommunication industry is rapidly evolving towards providing faster services to accommodate the global surge in network demand. The next-generation (5G) network aims to increase the current network speed by more than twentyfold. This transition brings enormous benefits for the economy and society. A main challenge faced by network providers, however, is that the existing […]

Evaluation of a test system to measure safe force thresholds on delicate tissue

Able Innovations is creating novel technology that eliminates the need for human involvement in transfers of individuals with restricted mobility replacing existing sling transfers systems that require significant physical labour by clinical staff that frequently results in staff injury and missed work. Sling systems are also undignified for the patient and can injure the patient […]

Litho-minéralogie automatisée de carottes de forage et de poudres de minerais pour des applications géométallurgique et géoenvironnementale

Le projet présenté ici vise le développement d’une technique de caractérisation lithologique automatisée adaptée pour les carottes de forage en exploration minière. La technique sera basée sur divers capteurs (optiques, chimiques et autres) ainsi que la microscopie optique. Les données obtenues (big-data) serviront à l’optimisation des procédés de traitement des minerais ainsi que la bonne […]

The Hidden Subgroup Problem in Post-Quantum Cryptography

Quantum computers are new technologies that harness the power of quantum mechanics to store and manipulate information. Recent years have seen accelerated progress on their development, and while their potential benefits are significant, we must now prepare the cryptographic infrastructure underlying cybersecurity to ensure the continued safety of our data in the face on an […]

Developing and evaluating multi-functional rain gardens

Rain gardens are shallow planted depressions in the ground that infiltrate, and evaporate urban rainwater. They are a kind of green infrastructure that provide an alternative to putting polluted urban runoff into the storm sewer system. The researchers will build and test new designs and installation methods for rain gardens. The new designs will incorporate […]

Predicting 30-Day Risk of Hospitalization, Emergency Department Visit and Death Among Albertans Receiving Opioid Prescriptions Using Machine Learning Algorithms: A Prognostic Study

Prescribers rely on guidelines for appropriate use and prescribing of opioids. Currently, there are no risk prediction calculators available to quantify the risk of prescribing an opioid that uses a patient’s history and drug utilization pattern. Machine learning algorithms offer an opportunity to perhaps develop such a risk calculator as a result of the large […]

Assessment of indoor environmental quality in the school building

Indoor environmental quality in schools is one of the major issues that should be considered. Indoor air quality (freshness and cleanness of air inside the building) and thermal comfort (the comfortable condition when no one is feeling either too hot or too cold) in schools can have significant impact on children’s health, learning and productivity. […]
