The aim of The Ontario HIV Treatment Network (OHTN) is to help combat the spread of HIV by supporting, conducting, and sharing the best research possible. This project will involve a novel analysis incorporating focus groups with front-line service providers and key informants to help determine the factors that most influence the perception of HIV […]

Reduced number of insulin producing ?-cells in pancreas due to increased ?-cell death is a key defect in diabetes that eventually leads to elevated blood glucose levels and life-time treatment with glucose lowering drugs or daily insulin injections. Thus, finding therapeutic approaches to prevent the decrease in the number of insulin producing ?-cells in diabetic […]

Bladder Carcinoma (BC) is the fifth most common cancer in Canada. Although most individuals have surgery to remove BC tumors, the risk of another BC developing and/or progressing to invasive disease is high so long-term surveillance is necessary. The current method for screening for BC is not sensitive enough, and individuals often end up undergoing […]

Today, due in part to changing economic and competitive procurement processes, sole and small as well as some medium sized architectural practices increasingly need to work in consortium in order to competitively bid for medium to large projects of different types. Currently, there does not exist specific guidelines customized for small and medium practices to […]

This research project brings together current academia and a vibrant, growing commercial enterprise to solve real world problems. The industry partner has recently developed a high-tech, sensor-based diagnostic tool which will be evaluated by the graduate student intern. The capabilities and features of the tool will be extended through the innovative, collaborative design efforts of […]

Intrusion detection has attracted the attention of many researchers in identifying the ever-increasing issue of intrusive activities. In particular, anomaly detection has been the main focus of many researchers due to its potential in detecting novel attacks. However, its adoption to real-world applications has been hampered due to system complexity as these systems require a […]

As manufacturing and resource-based industries face growing challenges, Canada’s future increasingly depends on advances in and sustainability of knowledge organizations. Knowledge-based workers comprise a growing proportion of the workforce today. More often than not, they work in the context of large-scale expert networks, spanning across different disciplines and organizations. They rely on software technologies for […]

As the most lethal gynaecological cancer, ovarian cancers not only threaten lives of many women worldwide, but health side effects also burdens the life of millions patients following treatments. Novel therapeutic methods aiming at increasing the long-term survival of patients and decreasing health side effects associated with treatment is critical. We have already found that […]

This research project is being undertaken in partnership with The Evidence Network Inc. It will extend the company’s scientifically-based method of assessing the impact of innovation support programs to the clean energy innovation sector. To keep this kind of assessment method scientifically sound requires customization for each particular industry. The established methods have been widely […]

High definition acquisition devices have been commonly used in video capture. Millions of videos are recorded and stored daily. Due to the rapidly growing volume, effectively searching and matching the desired video clips from archives has become increasingly challenging. It may need days and weeks to locate the target information, such as suspected criminals, traffic […]

Hearing aids are now fully digital, advanced signal processors. Studies show that the sound quality of today’s hearing aids is important, and may impact how a hearing aid user enjoys music. Few tools are available for clinicians to measure hearing aid sound quality in daily practice. In this project, we will develop and implement a […]

Parmi les systèmes optiques, les lentilles ayant un très grand champ de vue, dites panoramiques, sont des dispositifs extrêmement difficiles à miniaturiser, notamment à cause de leur nombre d’éléments optiques, leur forme et leur complexité. Les techniques actuelles de miniaturisation, utilisées avec succès pour les optiques de téléphones cellulaires, ne permettent pas de miniaturiser suffisamment […]
