Imagine a refrigerator automatically orders the eggs from the online store to deliver at its location and make the payment on behalf of the owner. In today’s world, the network infrastructures are not limited to traditional datacenters or company’s premises. IoT (Internet of Things) and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) are growing rapidly in our […]

Speed is incredibly important when addressing issues with computer security. The longer the time between the attack’s start and resolution, the more assets that attackers can steal from a company. There are various security platforms that can alert a company to a cyber-attack. This research project aims to combine knowledge from all these platforms together […]

Businesses are collecting more and more data, but they do not have the manpower to properly analyse it. This project will implement a proof of concept for a system that uses machine learning to improve the detection of cyber threats. The machine learning algorithm will receive information from many different data sources, detect where there […]

Most collaborations and government departments share their threat data feed in Data Exchange. Inescapably, nowadays with increasing threat data, it is a challenge to extract a large amount of threat data and unify the format more quickly. And as more and more companies join in sharing, the redundancy of this duplicate data will increase dramatically. […]

In today’s world, organizations protect themselves and their customer’s data through the implementation of complex cybersecurity solutions composed of many different nodes, each generating constant streams of data. Building reports from this data through the calculation of various metrics can provide much needed visibility into the state of the environment. However, building such reports can […]

Orthotropic bridge deck is lightweight steel deck, typically fabricated by welding “ribs” to the underside of a flat steel plate. The potential benefits of these deck systems are compelling. For example, from 1991 to 1993, the deteriorating deck on the Champlain Bridge was replaced with orthotropic steel deck panels weighing 25% less than the original […]

Using simplified language understandable to a layperson; provide a general, one-paragraph description of the proposed research project to be undertaken by the intern(s) as well as the expected benefit to the partner organization. (100 – 150 words) To address local food system issues like loss of farmland, people without enough food, or climate change impacts, […]

Industries using fossil fuels as their energy source are contributing to global warming as the required energy for their processes is supplied by combusting fossil fuels. CO2, a greenhouse gas, is a products of combustion. Using electricity generated by hydropower as the heat source may eliminate CO2 emission. One of the commercially available electric heaters […]

Between 22-81% of individuals with eating disorders (ED) engage in dysfunctional exercise (DEX). Engagement in DEX predicts relapse, illness chronicity, and length of hospital stay, as well as increases cardiovascular and metabolic risk. Conversely, healthy exercise engagement and education during treatment has been linked to improved ED outcomes. Ultimately leading to lower rates of relapse, […]

Insurance companies collect huge volumes of text on a daily basis and through multiple channels, which can be used for lots of different analyses, including identifying “cause of death”. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of an insurance company’s need to understand the facts and circumstances surrounding an insured individual’s death. These facts, including […]

We would like to determine whether a modified version of LSD (TD-0148A), which does not induce hallucinations, has antidepressant effects that can be applied to patients with depressive disorders. We will investigate whether TD-0148A can change the physical structure of neurons, as other antidepressants do. Furthermore, we will use an animal model to determine whether […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased depression and anxiety in Canada, adding to the current opioid drug dependency crisis. Mental health supports can be used with drug options to relieve symptoms and promote better health. Some cases of depression are resistant to treatment, and alternatives are needed that bring patients relief. Psilocybin is a compound found […]
