The features of optical fibers and the fascinating properties of nanomaterials can be combined to result in an attractive new platform for chemical sensing. Flame Spray Pyrolysis (FSP) has distinct advantages for the assembly of chemoresistive gas sensors compared to their traditional synthesis methods. Modern photonic sensing devices such as tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) […]

Popular content-driven websites like YouTube, Vimeo and Soundcloud receive a large amount of content annually and are visited by billions of users world-wide. However, the majority of the content on these sites has little to no structure. For example, many videos on YouTube are only found in the personal playlists and have virtually no user […]

With the pressing need to reduce energy from carbon emitting sources, electrification of buildings is a crucial step forward. Electrification requires identifying activities and equipment that use energy received from carbon emitting sources and transitioning them to electric alternatives. The proposed research focuses on developing methods and strategies to overcome challenges associated with building electrification […]

NYGH has opened a new mental health and addiction-focused area in its emergency department. Part of the development of this new area includes integrating staff from community-based organizations to better connect patients with outpatient treatment services as well as other health and social supports they may need. The practicum will involve developing an understanding of […]

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) face increasing pressure to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. Many SMBs face obstacles in adopting AI solutions due to limited resources and the complexity of available products, which are often too generalized to meet the specific needs or scale of smaller businesses [1]. Existing AI solutions are […]

Cities are key sites for understanding migrant integration and refugee protection around the world. In fact, many cities protect and include inhabitants who are denied legal status by nation states. In Canada and the US, these cities are called “sanctuary cities;” in other countries they have labels such as solidarity cities, cities of refuge, communities […]

This study focuses on integrating AI into screenwriting to ideate and develop nuanced stories addressing themes such as trauma, political upheaval, and racial conflict. Centred on Black consciousness within white liberal settings, the study emphasises ethical AI-human collaboration to ensure cultural sensitivity and authenticity. The Interplay between AI and the transformation narratives underline the potential […]

Magnetic fields are usually created in metal conductors, often organized in a single rotation loop. The field is calculated using the Biot-Savart law while the time-response is limited by inductance. SLAC, has recently been used to minimize inductance by employing the magnetic field around a relativistic electron beam. The field can peak at several Tesla, […]

Due to climate change, exposure to increasingly warmer temperatures, especially during the summer months, is of concern. This is true for lifeguards who play a vital role in ensuring the safety and well-being of visitors to aquatic facilities as well as beachfronts open for public swimming. Due to routine exposure to hot and humid conditions, […]
