The project targets design and implementation of error-correction codes for high-throughput fiber-optic communication links. We focus on the error-correction encoding at the transmitter side as well as decoding at the receiver side considering the simplicity of implementation and low power consumption at both transmitter and receiver.

In 2012, changes to provincial legislation in Ontario provided municipalities with a new market-based tool to improve the energy and water efficiency of the existing building stock; the ‘local improvement charge’ (LIC) mechanism. The City of Toronto was the first and remains the only Ontario municipality to use LICs to finance residential energy retrofits, starting […]

This multidisciplinary project will investigate the social, data, and technical issues surrounding design and implementation of a blockchain-based solution for the management of consent for the use of individuals’ “omics” data in medical research. Blockchains are distributed ledgers in which confirmed and validated blocks are organized in an append-only chain using cryptographic links. This project […]

Les proprietes des materiaux sont intimement Hees a leur organisation interne ou microstructure. Pour les aciers constituant les ailes de turbines de centrales hydrauliques, on pense que la microstructure ideale pour augmenter leur duree de vie, consiste dans Ie melange de deux phases: martensite et austenite. Cependant, I’austenite n’existe pas dans Ie materiau de depart […]

ROSS enables legal professionals by providing tools that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to make the research process more efficient. Advances within machine learning and natural language computing enable systems to achieve close to human performance. Many state-of-the-art methods have not been applied to the legal domain, leaving opportunity to enable development for the […]

Le projet consiste à optimiser les pratiques SEM et SEO de l’agence numérique Click & Mortar. Pour vulgariser les termes, SEM signifie le « Search Engine Marketing » et SEO le « Search Engine Organic ». Le SEM/SEO est le placement publicitaire en ligne sur les moteurs de recherche comme Google. Les placements publicitaires permettent […]

Piezoresistive strain sensors respond to a mechanically induced deformation with a change in their electrical resistance. Large strain flexible strain sensors have been adopted for numerous applications including rehabilitation, health and sport performance monitoring as well as physiology and kinesiology applications. Although development of these flexible strain sensors has reached a level of maturity, design […]

La relation entre les variables météorologiques et la santé humaine, bien qu’abondamment étudiée, demeure difficile à préciser. Au Québec, les seuils d’alerte initialement développés pour la chaleur et mortalité toutes causes, doivent être adaptés pour d’autres impacts sanitaires spécifiques pouvant être liés à des phénomènes météorologiques comme le froid extrême, le verglas, ou encore les […]

Overall this study aims to determine feasibility, parameters, and processes related to improved utilization of selected byproducts resulting from Corner Brook Pulp and Paper Limited (CBPPL) operations. The proposed activities and ideas relate to monitoring and understanding the nature of the composition of the mill’s production of wood ash over time, determining the suitability, feasibility […]

Pile foundations have been widely used in many offshore structures and oil and gas development programs such as tension leg platfonn, jack up platfonn, spar platfonn, and mooring of floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) units. The FPSO units are usually moored to the seabed with various kinds of anchors, including offshore piles. These piles […]

Notre but est d’améliorer la capacité des compagnies à concevoir et entretenir des jeux vidéo multijoueur en utilisant les théories développées par les écologistes pour comprendre le comportement des animaux (par exemple pour comprendre pourquoi les lions préfèrent chasser en groupe plutôt que seul). Nous analyserons les tactiques de jeu utilisées par les joueurs dans […]

Mathematical modeling is a powerful tool to understand fluid flow mechanisms, well performance and future resources recovery in petroleum industry. Better and more powerful tool can lead to better reservoir management and more oil production with less cost and less environmental impact. This project, collaborating with Saskatchewan Research Council, aims to improve the current mathematical […]
