A Context-Aware Topic Analysis Framework

Online social networks model and operate primarily on explicit relationships between people. However, many high-value social activities are not mediated by relationships of this kind. Instead, people who may not know each other nonetheless co-ordinate their activities because they attend to similar cues in their cultural environment. This research work aims at exploring ways to […]

Secure Multiuser Distributed Storage allowing Collaboration

A true blind party is a service provider that does not have access to unencrypted data of its clients. We note that, in such an environment, the client must securely maintain the many keys that may be required for the files. In addition, if there are collaborating organizations, the client must securely deliver the appropriate […]

Evaluating the impact of culturally-sensitized brokerage or coaching on refugee newcomers’ nutritional acculturation in a pilot program

Refugee newcomers tend to experience “food” culture shock and are at greater risk of food insecurity due to inadequate social programs. Hybrid social programs may help boost refugee newcomer confidence through knowledge exchange during intercultural culinary experiences. Therefore, this project aims to: First, promote effective cultural brokerage between community sponsor groups and refugee newcomers; Second, […]
