The small business sector plays a critical role in stimulating economic development. In the last two decades, the Internet of Things (IoT) has attracted significant investments by diversifying entrant firms like Amazon and Netflix, and startups like Airbnb and Spotify to bundle resources, including generic technology and market assets from different markets, to design and […]

1. development of a simulation mode of the information Technology Sector 2. Understanding and modelling the simultaneous Competition and Cooperation (“co-opetition”) among firms where they jointly form interoperability standards by consensus under the ambit of their chosen Standards Setting Organizations (SSOs). 3. Conduct Analysis using an appropriate simulation method, which will be implemented using either […]

DNA and RNA oligonucleotides that fold to form four-stranded structures (G-quadruplexes) are known to bind heme and such complexes to catalyze 1-electron (peroxidase-like) and 2-electron (peroxygenase-like) oxidation reactions. While successful in competing with protein peroxidase enzymes in this respect, G-quadruplex•heme complexes are currently not competitive with protein enzymes with regard to the enantioselectivity of the […]

Personalized health is increasingly gaining public attention in the media as the future of healthcare. Personalized health is the idea that medical treatment will be tailored to the individual based on their predicted response or risks of disease. Omics analysis, defined as the universal detection of different classes of biological molecules, has the potential to […]

Social networks like maps with real-time traffic are good examples of streaming graphs. These streaming graphs are processed and analyzed to answer the queries in real time. Conventional iterative graph processing algorithms estimate the results by approximating the intermediate values. Upon receiving a query, the computation is performed on these intermediate values. This setting gives […]

Proposed Work- Design Assessment of Latent Heat Storage Systems (LHSS) Integrated with Smart Thermal Grids Latent heat storage is a coherent technique having a potential of integration with real-time applications. The energy is stored in the form of latent heat during melting of phase change material’s (PCM’s). This energy can be utilized during the peak […]

The project envisages the development of multifunctional piezoelectric sensors using two-dimensional (2-D) layered materials. Piezoelectricity is defined as the electrical response of the materials with respect to the mechanical actuation. This property persists in the materials that have non-centrosymmetry in their internal structure.In particular, the 2-D materials with the non-centrosymmetric structure a great potential lies […]

The purpose of the proposed research is to explore a deep sensor fusion framework for autonomous driving using a thermal camera and stereo camera. This is a useful driver assistance application for challenging environments such as night-time and rainy or snowy weather. Single sensor, such as monocular, stereo and thermal camera-based autonomous driving applications are […]

Aimed at maximizing the antenna signal of the satellite communication (Satcom) terminal in a satellite system, positioning and tracking methods based on AI are studied in this project. This proposal focuses on the issue of a satellite’s pointing and tracking for a stationary Satcom terminal. The detailed methods includes the following four functional components: 1) […]

Proteinuric kidney diseases, such as lupus nephritis, affect approximately 1 in 10 individuals around the world. For many patients, it results in the progression to end-stage kidney disease, for which the only treatments available are dialysis and transplantation. Therefore, it is imperative to develop therapies that slow down or halt the progression of proteinuric kidney […]

The Nanwakolas Council Society and its eight member Nations are moving through a regional economic development planning initiative to create a more diversified and sustainable business profile. This research cluster is intended to provide additional insights into culturally valued industries of the member Nations, specifically within shellfish aquaculture and tourism industries. The research would encompass […]

Seniors may experience social isolation when they lose the ability to drive their own car due to the loss of access to services and opportunities to socialize. I will examine the role of public transportation in reducing social isolation for seniors in Metro Vancouver. With BC’s aging population, the transportation needs of this demographic will […]
