The development of scalable quantum computers threatens the secrecy of communication by breaking classical encryption schemes. In order to ensure long-term security in communication networks quantum-safe cryptography is currently being developed and evaluated in standardization competitions. A special property of many of the proposed cryptosystems is a low but non-zero probability of failure: An encrypted […]

This research proposal deals with characterization of thermophilic ?-Mannanase of Thermomyces lanuginosus and using this enzyme for hydrolysis of natural mannan to produce prebiotic MOS (Mannooligosaccharides). Alternative routes for the utilization of agricultural by-products are of interest because the economic value of these by-products as animal feed compounds is decreasing. MOS are non-digestible sugar oligomers […]

In today’s technology-centred world, we have become increasingly reliant upon artificial intelligence (AI) devices and software. To aid with navigation, many people use SIRI or other digital voice assistants to help them navigate from point A to point B. While successful in helping humans arrive at intended locations, there is a downside. Recent studies have […]

i-Share is a project being conducted by the Université de Bordeaux. It is one of the largest mental health studies in the world, with the goal of collecting self-report information on mental health (e.g., stress, sleep, physical exercise, depression) from over 20,000 students from French universities. Currently, students have access to personal devices, such as […]

Sterasure Inc. in its current mission to provide biomedical tools to reinvent the clinical decision support, partners with the University of Waterloo to work towards the development of cutting-edge contactless vital sign monitoring systems. The technology studied in this research will allow the advance in the detection of oxygen saturation levels through cost-efficient systems. Although […]

The process of setting surgical schedules in a modern hospital operating room suite is complicated. Scheduling surgery involves coordinating two separate but inter-related service distribution channels, namely, elective surgery operations and emergency surgery operations. Elective surgical cases are selected from a broad range of diagnostic categories and are scheduled in advance into surgical time that […]

In the first year of the proposed project, we will explore and optimize the application of environmentally friendly solvents for organosilane adhesion promoters that are used in the production of HSS by Canusa-CPS. In the second year, the shelf-life and lifetime of such products will be investigated using accelerated testing procedures. The results of the […]

Automatic analysis of sport videos is an attractive research area in computer vision that is driving the sport analytics towards a more technological edge. By automatically analyzing sport videos, lots of information could be drawn that benefits the teams, coaches, referees, players and even the fans, such as: extracting strategy of the game, technique and […]

In last few year, due to bad impression, single used plastics has received huge attention from scientist, environmentalist and attentive people from different part of the world. Since only a fraction of these plastics are recycled or repurposed, due to numerous reasons, municipal and industrial waste contain a large portion as plastics. As Canada is […]

This research project is part of a broader initiative to establish an “Innovation Nexus on Social Inclusion”, a center for collaborative action-oriented learning to initiate and evaluate innovative strategies for social inclusion. It is being hosted by Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) Ontario in partnership with the Centre for Community Based Research (CCBR) and Conrad Grebel […]

Catalyst layers (CLs) determine the performance, durability, and cost of PEM fuel cells. The proposed research will focus on developing durable ultra-low-Pt-loading CLs with high performance and durability. The novel CLs will be fabricated by sputtering Pt onto a thin layer of carbon particles, pre-deposited on the membrane. The CL structure will be investigated by […]

TV Whitespace (TVWS) designates the inactive or unused space between TV channels actively used in UHF and VHF spectrum :470 MHz to 700 MHz. The TVWS band performs best in the most rural service areas. This is due to the characteristics of TVWS, and how it’s shared with powerful analog TV stations Such TV transmitters […]
