Standing in Judicial Review: Comparative Perspectives from Canada and the UK

Standing requires every claimant to establish a connection between his situation and the basis of the lawsuit which justifies his participation in the legal proceedings. It is often characterized as context sensitive, particularly in administrative law, given the diversity of decisions likely to be subject to judicial review of administrative action. The objective of my […]

Biophysical analysis of ABCG sterol transporters

Our research concerns a group of lipid trafficking proteins, scientifically known as ABC transporters, that only work when submerged in the sea of lipids, which we call membranes. These proteins can “pick up” lipid molecules, especially sterols, and move the lipids out or into the cells. We know that different members of these lipid trafficking […]

Meta learning of hyperparameters for parallel and distributed Gradient Boosted Decision Trees on big data

When Kinaxis trains its machine learning models, it does so on two time scales. Every week or so, it looks at around 10 billion sales records and tries to learn the rapidly-changing “parameters” that best describe this data. Every 3-6 months, it updates 10 thousand collections of “hyperparameters” that govern the parameter-learning process. Kinaxis would […]

Towards Reliable Vibration Design of Mass-Timber and Timber-Concrete Floors: Data, Models, and Practical Guidance

The proposed project studies the vibration behaviour of innovative mass timber floor systems, focusing on cross-laminated timber (CLT) floors supported by CLT beams and timber-concrete composite (TCC) floors with notched connections. Using laboratory testing and numerical modelling, the research aims to enhance the understanding of how these floors respond to dynamic loads, including the effects […]

Map Data Analysis for Lawn Service Optimization

This research investigates the fusion of multi-source geospatial data to overcome key scaling limitations in automated property assessment. The primary research problem addresses object occlusion in satellite imagery, where features can obscure ground-level surfaces and prevent accurate area measurement. We propose and evaluate a novel machine learning approach that geometrically fuses satellite imagery with ground-level […]

A Scalable Nitrous Oxide (N2O) Emissions Predictor Utilizing Fuzzy Logic and Impulse Response Measurements

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a powerful greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 298 times that of CO2, significantly contributing to climate change through agricultural activities, particularly the application of fertilizers. Accurate and scalable prediction of N2O emissions is essential for sustainable agriculture and climate mitigation. Current methods, such as LSTM-DLM neural networks proposed in […]
