FSO (Family Services Ottawa) is a not-for-profit social service agency whose mission is to assist individuals, to build on their strengths and to improve their mental health. FSO does so by providing counselling, education, and advocacy within a context of working to foster systemic change. Although their programs are increasingly monitored and evaluated at the […]

Large ships routinely pass through the St. Lawrence Seaway. These ships generate waves that could exacerbate erosion of the St. Lawrence River shoreline. This research project will measure waves continuously during a shipping season and simultaneously measure turbidity of the nearshore water to link ship waves to sediment mobilization events. Bank line recession rates will […]

COVID-19 is an unprecedented public health emergency affecting every industry. As we wait to develop treatments and vaccines to protect individuals from COVID-19, we must develop strategies to protect workers in Canada’s vital industries. In the absence of any adaptation strategy, risk of infection will continue to threaten the health and safety of workers. This […]

In Canada, research ethics boards vary widely in the way they interpret risk to patients when their personal information is being re-used for research purposes. However, many research ethics boards will permit information to be shared without consent when they believe there is a low risk of re-identification. PARAT is Privacy Analytics’ de-identification software tool. […]

In recent years, with the emergence of online social networks and the growing interest in genetics and biological networks, the research community has been tasked with analyzing knowledge extracted from multi-relational datasets. Such analysis, generally known as Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD), is concerned with the computer aided discovery of useful knowledge in databases. An […]

The proposed research project for Globalink Research Award is to test a hypothesis of faunal connectivity in the Devonian (419-535 million years ago) Nothern Hemisphere through comparision of the fossil vertebrates from the Canadian Arctic Archipelago with those from the Holy Cross Mountains, Poland, with special focus on an extinct group of lobe-finned fishes (sarcopterygians) […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the challenges Canadian manufacturers face in managing increasingly complex, multi-tiered global supply chains, including a wide rang of sustainability issues ranging from forced labor to carbon emission management. Industry 4.0 technologies – including the internet of things (IoT), blockchain, and machine learning – can potentially address these issues via enhanced […]

Development of an Avionics system test methodology, based on the Test and Test Control Notation (TTCN-3). This will include (1) a gap analysis between TTCN-3 and current avionics test languages and environments and (2) a large scale case study. Of particular interest, will be the ability to model and verify both continuous control and discrete […]

The Arctic climate is changing three times faster than any other eco-region in the world. As the climate warms, flowering times of many species are shifting which can affect plant productivity and reproductive success. Flowering time responses to climate change among species is diverse. The diversity of responses has implications for tundra plant community structure […]

Suicide is one of the most important causes of deaths in the prison environment, both in Canada and internationally. Rates of attempts of suicide and self-harm have been on the rise in recent years. To address this problem, there is a real and immediate need for an automated, private, and effective monitoring system that can […]

In 5G and beyond networks, softwarization of network functions, as well as disaggregation of software and hardware, are the recent moves pushing Radio Access Networks (RAN) to be ultra-agile, reconfigurable and flexible. This flexibility comes along with complexity that goes beyond traditional algorithms’ capabilities to optimize the RAN. In addition, in future RANs, multiple-players interacting […]
