Physical inactivity is associated with impaired removal of sugar from the blood after a meal, or insulin-resistance and a reduced muscle mass and fitness. While exercise is well-established to prevent these impairments, it may not be feasible in some clinical conditions. Therefore, passive interventions that mimick the stressors and elicit the benefits of exercise may […]

This work will examine a novel “smart” insole that allows for the quantification of specialized running metrics and will compare the outputs with the gold-standard measure of metabolic work. The insoles work by collecting pressure data from many sensors embedded in the insole, and sending this to an phone app. We are comparing the insoles […]

When Indigenous rights and leadership are prioritized, Natural Climate Solutions (NCS) like forest carbon management present an opportunity to advance reconciliation while combatting climate change and biodiversity loss. Wahkohtowin Development GP Inc. is taking steps to drive NCS in the Missinaibi Forest toward Indigenous-led climate action and social-ecological benefits for its owner First Nations (the […]

KnowMeQ Inc, a future of work online skills assessment is working with the University of Guelph to establish a candidate recommender tool which reduces bias. This is the first phase of deliverables of the relationship, wherein the groups are building towards an ethical AI algorithm and an Adaptability Quotient (AQ) composite measure.

When responding to any cybersecurity threat, it is important that a security analyst is able to respond to it as quickly as possible so that they can reduce or eliminate any damage that the threat may cause. However, the high amount of data that must be analyzed when investigating a security event can impact the […]

Modern organizations collect and process mass amounts of personal data. This data has the power to individually identify an individual and may be linked to some sensitive information about them. Because of this risk, policies and legislation have been implemented to ensure that personal data is handled in an organized and secure manner. As the […]

Wild boars (Sus scrofa) are a highly invasive species which causes destructive damages to property and crops and poses a major threat to the Canadian pork industry because wild boars are also reservoirs for infectious diseases, including African swine virus (ASF). Current control and management of the wild boar populations have been ineffective because these […]

Fertility improvement is important in both human being and livestock industry. Increasing the oocyte competence is one of the most critical measures for fertility improvement. miRNAs are small non-coding RNAs which can regulate the estrogen production in the ovarian follicles which in turn affecting the oocyte development and competence. However, its underlying mechanism remains unknown. […]

The goal of the project is to assess the viability of current synthetic data generation systems. If the generated synthetic data is accurate enough without providing sensitive details it can be used to train machine learning models without needing to share sensitive information. The particular application of this project is to computer logs which can […]

Pipeline alerts are beneficial to analysts to determine where their attention is needed. However, a high false positive rate leads to a noisy stream and wastes analysts’ time. The first sub-project will aim to classify the alerts as either low or high likelihood of a false positive, allowing analysts to spend their time where it […]

In collaboration with the CCES we will develop a practical approach to training business and sports ethics—one that enhances students, professionals, and sports participants and leaders’ ability to navigate “how to resolve ethical dilemmas” to minimize social and environmental damage and maintain the integrity of sport. This project aligns with one of the strategic pillars […]

Parenting is challenged by the pace of change in information technology, impacting child development and parent-child relationships. Children learn and grow in online environments and their development, perspectives and understanding of the world are impacted by multiple communities, which creates risks to safety, relationships and experiences. Supporting technologies will help bridge this gap, intervening with […]
