This document discusses the University of Montreal's strategy to move from printing admission viewbooks to generating personalized online and print viewbooks from their content management system. They built a database of all program information, then used web technologies like CSS and PhantomJS to generate customized multi-page PDF viewbooks for students. This reduced production time from 4-5 months to 1-2 months and costs by $70,000 annually while allowing collection of student data. Over 16,000 accounts were created and 4,100 guides generated, with those interacting more likely to apply. Future plans aim to further automate production.

CULTIVATION OF OSCILLATORIA SP IN DAIRY WASTE WATER IN TWO STAGE PHOTO BIOREA...civej
This paper presents an integrated approach to cultivate microalgae in dairy wastewater and to
investigate the capability of the organism for biodiesel production. The present study was carried out
using tolerant strains of microalgae collected from dairy effluent treatment plant, Kochi. Selected blue
green algal strains were mass cultured in the laboratory and acclimatized using different concentrations
of synthetic effluent. Blue green algal filaments were immobilized inside the primary and secondary
photobioreactors. The experiment was conducted in two stages including batch and continuous
treatment. The stage 1 of the experiment was designed for the reduction of physical impurities and the
nutrients. Stage 2 was designed mainly for the cultivation of blue green algae in dairy waste water by
utilizing the extra nutrients . Reduction of 94 -99.5% in phosphate was observed after 48 h of treatment
in the primary and secondary photobioreactors. The level of phosphate, total hardness, ammoniacal
nitrogen in the MSE was reduced by 97%,93 %, 81% respectively. BOD was reduced to 370mg L-1 from
1500 mg L-1 after 48 hrs of treatment in the primary reactor. COD was reduced to 85 mg L -1 from an
initial value of 1500 mg L -1 from medium strength effluent (MSE) and 90-95 % removal of COD was
also obtained from high strength effluent(HSE) during the study period. Biomass developed within the
reactor was harvested at every 15 days intervals from the secondary reactor and analyzed for lipids and
fattyacids. Presence of C14:0, C16:0,C18:0, C18:1 and C18:2 fatty acids strongly supports its abilility for
biodiesel production.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF WALKABILITY OF INDIAN STREET: A CASE...civej
Walkability became one of the important aspects of new urbanism. Increase in the numbers of the vehicle
on the road creating a havoc situation for society. It is also polluting our environment. Enhancing walkability wit in a city or in a neighborhood became a challenge for the city developer. There is no proper way established by which we can identified the street those need improvement in the street and we have also not established the parameter by which walkability can be improved in an area. In this paper parameter has been identified which can help in improving the walkability of Indian street. Both qualitative and quantitative parameters have been listed down and all are converted into numerical value so we can quantify the quality of walkability in an area for the calculation of the walkability in existing scenario. By the help of this method we can improve walkability of any area.
REHABILITATION/RETROFITING OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES ALONG WITH CASE STUDYcivej
The construction material mainly concrete is being used extensively for various types of construction
projects. However, the deterioration of Reinforced Concrete structures is recognized as a major problem
worldwide. Apart from requiring regular maintenance, many structures require extensive
Repair/Rehabilitation/Retrofitting. Over a period of time, as these structures become older, we find in them
certain degradation or deterioration with resultant distress manifested in the form of cracking, splitting,
delaminating, corrosion etc. Such deteriorated structures can be rehabilitated and retrofitted by using
various types of admixtures & modern repair materials. The paper brings out the present state of concrete
structures & the major areas where improvement is needed during its service life stage for sustainable
development & also the method of carrying out Repair/Rehabilitation/Retrofitting.This has been brought in
details in the paper along with Case study, where the Author of the paper was directly involved in planning
and execution of job.

CORRELATION BETWEEN AGGREGATE-TOAGGREGATE CONTACT AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES O...civej
The mechanical properties of hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixture are directly related to the internal structure. Earlier studies have suggested that aggregate-to-aggregate contact maybe a significant contributor to the mechanical properties of HMA mixes. In this study, the mechanical properties of HMA mixture, quantified by Marshall Stability, Flow and Marshall Quotient, were related to the internal structure in terms of aggregate-to-aggregate contact. For development of a model, field core samples were taken from Binder and Topeka layers at different sites. A total of 21 different HMA mixes were obtained.
An advanced 2-dimensional Image Processing and Analysis System (i.e., iPas) was used to characterize the
internal structure of the cores. The test results indicated that there is a strong correlation between aggregate-to-aggregate contact and mechanical properties of HMA mixture. This is an indication that aggregate-to-aggregate contactis a significant contributor to the mechanical properties of asphalt concrete.
PRIDICTION OF COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF CEMENT BY USING REGRESSION TECHNIQUE WI...civej
This paper presents the comparison of results i.e., (compressive strength of cement) by the experimental
study and Regression model to evaluate the possibility of utilizing the hylam powder as a partial
replacement in cement mortar. The remarkable increase in the production of hylam and its disposal in an
ecofriendly manner is increasingly becoming a matter of global concern. Hylam powder is a waste
produced from hylam sheets at the time of fabrication (Cutting, Making holes and polishing process) is
used as a partial replacement in cement. A total 63cement cube were casted and tested for 3,7& 28days of
seven mortar mix (i.e. 0%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 10%, 13% & 15% of Hylam powder was replaced by weight of
cement). The results show that incorporation of the hylam powder yields to the increase of strength at the
age (28 days) in comparison with that of a control mortar.
ELECTRO DIALYSIS FOR THE DESALINATION OF BACKWATERS IN KERALAcivej
With the declining freshwater source and increase in demand for the potable water need of desalination
have increased. The electrodialysis can be put as an economic substitute for the desalination of the
brackish water. This paper deals with the assessment of the effect contaminants in the desalination of
natural brackish water using electrodialysis. The contaminants studied were Boron, Sulfate and
Magnesium in the presence of chloride. The study was based on the function of pH at a constant voltage
of 11 V. Magnesium, Chloride, and Sulfate was not affected by the pH variations and was removed to an
efficiency of 94%, 95%, and 74% respectively. But the boron was not removed in neutral pH and showed
a removal efficiency of 41% at pH 10 in an hour. There was significant interference in the removal of the
Chloride ion and Sulfate ion.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Make content about programs available on Web pages
Transform our viewbook into an online document
Capture information about our prospective students
when they come to get the online document
Develop a single platform for distributing the content
(Web and print)
Our goals
23. admission.umontreal.ca
We gathered all public content regarding our programs
– Current catalogue / viewbook
– Current websites, HTML pages, CMS, …
– PeopleSoft: reports, tables, extractions, …
– Legacy system, databases, web services, …
– Publications: PDF, word documents, InDesign, …
We made an inventory of all our content
We built a database and entered the content
Build a new website with rich database
26. admission.umontreal.ca
Export your database in a
special XML format, readable
by Adobe InDesign
Import your XML into an
Adobe InDesign file and map
your content elements with
design elements
Using Adobe InDesign XML Import Function
27. admission.umontreal.ca
Pros:
– Can produce great results because its flexibility. Once the
content is imported, you can design all elements as you wish
inside Adobe InDesign
Cons:
– Need to have a developer to export your content into the
Adobe XML file required (not as easy task!)
– Not a lot of documentation online
– Not a lot of developers that master this technique, and not a
lot of designers know how to manage this type of document
– Adobe Import function is picky and somewhat buggy
– Does not handle HTML properly
Pros and cons for using this technique
28. Return on our first attempt
2 to 3 months to accomplish

Create a print version of our guide for high school
counsellor only
Create a personalized online version for students
– Students would come to our site to build their guide
and choose the content they wanted
– Allow students to order a customized print copy of their
guide that the University would ship them for free
Our refined strategy
33. Create Web page template dedicated for print
Create a specific style sheet for print (CSS file)
– @media print { … }
Adjust the styles of your Web elements (fonts, images,
colors, texts) to show nicely in print
– You can hide elements, like videos, headers, footers,
menus using special CSS code
• Ex: .video { display: none; }
How to – Step 1: Create print-specific page
35. Convert your HTML directly to PDF using open-source
library like PhamtonJS (http://phantomjs.org/)
– Programmatically capture web contents and create web
site screenshots in PDF.
– You can specify paper format (Letter, A4, …), margins,
orientation (portrait, landscape)
– You can have custom footers and headers
– You can have page numbers

How to – Step 2: Convert HTML to PDF
36. How to – Step 2: Convert HTML to PDF
HTML page PDF document
37. To make our print Guide d’admission publication, we
had to create a “light version” of our PDF
– Full PDF contains too many pages
We created a light version of our HTML print-specific
page with only the content that we wanted in our
print publication
– No header
– No footer
We converted these light HTML pages into single PDF
documents
We assembled them into a larger InDesign document
How to – Step 3: Create light-version PDF
39. Return on our second attempt
1 to 2 months to accomplish
We produced our Guide d’admission 2015-2016 using
this technique
We saved another month doing it, and 10 000$
