While quantum computers in theory can solve problems exponentially faster than conventional computers, in practise they are quite challenging to build. One of the main problems facing the technology used by D-Wave, IBM, and google is the presence of flux noise. The current project aims to understand the origin of flux noise in D-Wave’s superconductor-based […]

Physical activity is an important part of children’s development. However, a majority of Canadian children are not meeting the national recommendation of 60-minutes of physical activity. To counter this issue, London’s Child and Youth Network (CYN) developed the ACT-i-Pass Program, a physical activity program that offers free recreational programming to grade 5 children in the […]

Le Canada offre de soins de santé universel. Cependant, son système de couverture des médicaments d’ordonnance est très fragmenté. Cette fragmentation, accompagnée des coûts grimpant des médicaments, mène plusieurs canadiens à ne pas avoir les ressources nécessaires pour obtenir les médicaments dont ils ont besoin. L’idée d’un formulaire national émerge donc. C’est alors en février […]

Incorporating geosynthetic layers on top of the subgrade layer provides more stability and serviceability. That becomes a must when the subgrade layer is classified as a problematic soil. With the traditional method, two layers of geosynthetic are adopted: a geogrid for reinforcement and a geotextile for filtration. Placing these two materials in this manner is […]

La planification de rdv à domicile (infirmières ou pour rdv de techniciens) est complexe. Elle nécessite des compétences géographiques et une connaissance métier de répartiteur. Ce processus prend énormément de ressources. Ce projet vise donc projet à concevoir une méthode de suggestion d’horaire de rendez-vous sans avoir à réoptimiser de lourds emplois du temps.

Nucleic acid-based therapies such as DNA and siRNA has equipped us with the freedom to customize in our battle against specific cancers and other diseases. Especially the non-viral approach to deliver the therapeutic nucleic acids in a clinical setting provides a safer alternative to the viral gene therapy systems. However, to achieve a clinically relevant […]

The project is focused on designing and developing a novel point of care analytical device using functional magnetic microparticles that can quantitatively determine the concentration of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody and SARS-CoV-2 viruses in human saliva and serum. This approach will allow mass testing in the general population to assess past or current infection. Furthermore, it can […]

This project will investigate how software developers work with structured information. It will use information about that interaction to improve tools needed by developers. It will assess whether those tools improve the productivity of software developers. The project will also compare the access patterns of users of business intelligence applications to those of developers to […]

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 […]
