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 […]

Saffron (Crocus sativus) is considered the most expensive spice in the world, costing between $500 and $5000 USD per pound. It is one of the most highly regarded and highest value botanical plants in the world and is a recognized natural health product. It is traditionally used for different health conditions, including sexual dysfunction, depression […]

The critically endangered North Atlantic Right Whale resides in waters with busy shipping lanes in the Bay of Fundy and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, where incidents of ship strikes have proven to be a primary cause of whale death, resulting in their numbers dwindling to less than 400. Though the implementation of speed limits […]

This project will establish the framework to extract and transform clinical data into a research dataset to conduct world-leading Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) around concussion. The research and analyses from this dataset will inform patient care for patients with concussion and answer key questions that have healthcare and policy implications for concussion management. The framework […]
