The aim of this article is to give a semi-technical and somewhat journalistic account of the contributions to the methods used for quantitative transportation planning by professors, researchers and graduate students who have been active at the Centre for Research on Transportation (CRT) of the University of Montreal since its inception.

This paper explores the intersection of race, humour and interactivity in Grand Theft Auto 3. We argue that video games not only diffuse cultural and symbolic meanings, but also provide new loci for reflection and critique of issues of inter alia race. Two different analytical perspectives are juxtaposed when studying racial issues of GTA3. The first perspective is Critical Race Theory (CRT). T...

We present an elementary method to construct optimized lattices that are used for finding small roots of polynomial equations. Former methods first construct some large lattice in a generic way from a polynomial f and then optimize via finding suitable smaller dimensional sublattices. In contrast, our method focuses on optimizing f first which then directly leads to an optimized small dimension...

Several schemes under the framework of Dual RSA have been proposed by Sun et al (IEEE-IT, August 2007). We here concentrate on the Dual CRT-RSA scheme and present certain range of parameters for which this is insecure. As a corollary of our work, we prove that the Dual Generalized Rebalanced-RSA (Scheme III of Sun et al) can be efficiently broken for a significant region where the scheme has be...
