The project contributes to the statistical, machine learning and deep learning fields from different aspects. First, we implement, document, and compare statistical, machine learning and deep learning solution for maritime market forecasting. This is the first attempt to utilize machine learning for this purpose. Moreover, we will present an enhanced explainable method that describes the […]

Through this Mitacs initiative, the Sobey School of Business, Saint Mary’s University, and OEA Technologies, Inc., will cooperatively research and develop online and social media tools that facilitate delivery of professional environmental services in developing countries. OEA Technologies’ specific interests are climate-change related oceanographic services and small-island developing states. “Innovation and diversification are not optional […]

The overall goal of the project is to contribute to the advancement of safe and sustainable environmental remediation through increasing knowledge of catabolic processes occurring during bioremediation and how engineered amendments may enhance these processes. To achieve the overall goal, research activities will investigate catabolic processes involved in the bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbon- (PHC) and […]

Uroflow is an important tool in the urology clinic for assessing and managing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). These include things like urinating very frequently or difficulty with your stream. Uroflow typically involves urinating into weight-sensing collection vessel that records urine flowrate. Although non-invasive, these systems have limitations. Patients typically undergo testing in uncomfortable and […]

The IBM DLPS software is used to provide an intelligent interface system that enables a ship’s Command System to interface to Tactical Data Links for the exchange of information with other friendly units. The DLPS software integrates the ship’s Command System data with the tactical networks of data links. IBM would like to expand and […]

The proposed research aims to exploit specific applications of epimeric pyrroloimidazolones (EPIs) for the synthesis of new drug leads. Two classes of biologically active molecules will be targeted. First, EPIs will serves as intermediates toward chiral bicyclic[2.2.2]octenes with nitrogen at the bridgehead position, which are known to have a broad range of biological activities. Second, […]

With this project, we aim to increase our knowledge and experience in recommender systems. We are specifically interested in testing various data structures and algorithms that will allow us to provide recommendations to our users based on their interest (user-user), as well as the intrinsic similarities between different elements of our database (item-item). Based on […]

An ideal fragrance carrier system should not only be safe but also allow for a prolonged release of fragrances over time without affecting the overall performance of the perfume. However, very little progress has been made to improve the formulation of perfumes despite the size and high social status associated with the market. My project […]

Shepell·fgi is a leading provider of Employee and Family Assistance Programs (EFAPs) for domestic and global clients. As digital technology and online social networks became increasingly important, Shepell·fgi added new digital services (First Chat, Video Counselling, Online Access, and other online programs) other than the traditional delivery channels (telephone and in-person appointments). Many recent studies […]

The Stó:lo Indigenous Foodways Co-Lab (part of the Just Transitions in Food Systems Network) is a community-based research project examining the relationship agri-food transitions and traditional food systems resurgence in the context of the Fraser Valley in British Columbia Canada. This project will create a dialogue space to raise and address questions about what changes […]

Vaccines are one of the most effective methods for protection against life-threatening infections such as hepatitis B. Due to the difficulties associated with extensive clinical trials on younger population groups such as infants and newborns, vaccine research is primarily conducted on adults. Therefore, there is a significant gap in our current knowledge of early-life immune […]

Cannabinoids and terpenes that make the chemical composition of cannabis material are found in the metabolic factories, glandular trichomes. The trichomes are stalk like protrusions with a bulb at the end that functions to hold the synthesized compounds. The project is to analyze trichomes visually to determine if bulb colour changing and stalk extensions are […]
