Synthetic Image Generation for Training and Testing DNN-based Anomaly Detection Systems

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are increasingly employed in vision-based systems, extending well beyond self-driving vehicles. With the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and distributed vision sensing, vision-based systems have found diverse applications across various domains. These include detecting hazards on work sites and anomalies in critical infrastructure, utilizing, for example, video and image […]

Boîtes non-locales et Complexité de communication

Depuis la découverte théorique puis expérimentale de l’intrication au milieu du 20e siècle, la Théorique de l’Information Quantique connait un essor fulgurant. En effet, l’intrication est une relation puissante liant certaines paires de particules dans la Nature, et elle est à la base d’algorithmes quantiques puissants, innovants et prometteurs, lesquels mènent à ce que Google […]

Understanding the Indigenous School Attendance Gap: Perspectives from an Educational Program Supporting Inuit Youth

In Canada, First Nation, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) students experience higher rates of absenteeism and lower rates of school success compared to non-FNMI students. However, little research has explored this issue from the perspective of FNMI communities. This study aims to conceptualize attendance and absenteeism among a group of urban Inuit students in Ottawa who […]

Development of purification for high-quality boron nitride nanotube liquid crystals

Boron nitride nanotube (BNNT), a structural analog of carbon nanotube, has emerged as a key-enabling material in various fields of extreme/major science thanks to its transformative properties such as high oxidation resistance, high specific mechanical strength, piezoelectricity, and high neutron shielding capability. To harness its unique properties, it is essential to fabricate macroscopic BNNT articles […]

Performance study of low carbon footprint cement obtained through the electrochemical decarbonation of limestones used by the Canadian cement industry

The electrochemical decarbonation (ED) of limestone is a novel disruptive technology with the potential to promote deep decarbonization of the cement industry, which emits about 8% of carbon dioxide global emissions. ED uses water electrolysis cells to precipitate Ca(OH)2, which has been used as an alternative raw material for Alite synthesis, the main clinker compound. […]

Assessing Support Needs of Tenants in Two Ottawa Community Housing Buildings

Some people living in social housing are at risk of losing their housing. This is due to serious mental illness, substance use, neurocognitive decline, physical frailty, disabilities, or other issues, along with an absence of adequate support. Ottawa Community Housing has approached researchers at the University of Ottawa to conduct a study to learn more […]
