Located in Toronto, Andorix is a smart building enabler and systems integrator for real estate properties. As typical smart buildings house between five to ten thousand various Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors generating massive amounts of data, Andorix has embarked on a Research and Development (R&D) program to leverage the available data to […]

Governments around the world are investing to bridge the “digital divide,” which refers to the gap among populations in terms of ability to access digital tools and the Internet. This effort is especially evident in public schools, because education has been identified as one contributing factor of the divide. Thus, it is of great public […]

Issues involving the introduction, learning and embracing of new knowledge, innovation or practice change in healthcare are critical as the innovation impacts the quality of service and care of patients. Long-term care (LTC) is a sector that has historically faced its own unique challenges in moving research knowledge into practice. The proposed project codeveloped with […]

The causal link between highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUF As) and human health is one of the hottest topics in science. Their potential to control food web dynamics in freshwater systems is a relatively recent development, but analytical difficulties have relegated research to a predominantly theoretical nature. A large deal of theoretical work was produced […]

This project aims to develop an aptamer?based technology to enhance the in?vivo survival of oncolytic viruses and thus the efficiency of virotherapy. Oncolytic viruses (OVs) can selectively replicate in tumor cells, leading to lysis of the tumor. OVs are particularly effective against metastatic cancers, which are especially difficult to treat conventionally. However, OVs can be […]

Shepell·fgi, a leader in Employee and Family Assistance Programs (EFAPs) in Canada, launched its Fitness Coach Connects program in June 2013. This program engages users through the use of a wireless activity tracker, personalized interactions and coaching sessions with a dedicated Fitness Coach, as well as access to an online program. This internship will support […]

A versatile spine modeling toolkit would enable the automatic assessment of gross anomalies and the evaluation of limited regions and spine components such as vertebra and discs. The system would consist of modules for: 1) segmenting the spine; 2) modeling spinal components; 3) detecting, assessing and analyzing salient features; and 4) generating information for medical […]

Sleep apnea is a common respiratory disorder among heart failure (HF) patients where it increases the mortality risk. Therefore, it is important to develop new treatments for sleep apnea. We have proposed that fluid which is accumulated in the legs during day moves towards the head when lying down to sleep and accumulates in the […]

Considering the facts that road salts pose significant environmental impacts and infrastructural damages, this research will evaluate the organic products for snow and ice control for transportation facilities. An extensive field tests will be conducted focusing snow melting performances of the organic liquids over regular bine over an expected ranges of weather and other external […]

The big problem in healthcare Is that that about 80% of medical data remains unstructured and untapped after it is created. It’s hard to handle this type of data for Electronic Medical Record (EPIC), it tends to be ignored, unsaved or abandoned, and therefore is not effectively used in medical treatment or research. It’s highly […]

Metal nanoparticles are increasingly used in cosmetics, food packaging, textiles, toothpaste, and other ubiquitous products. Yet, their impact on our environment, food, and health is largely unknown because measuring nanoparticles in environmental and biological systems is very difficult. Similarly, measuring the uptake of metal-containing drugs by cells to develop smart therapeutics targeting tumors is also […]

Engineering graphene-based devices with exceptional nonlinear optical properties in the terahertz (THz) region play a crucial role in the advancement of THz technologies. We investigate how a metamaterial system consisting of a plasmonic structure enhances THz light-graphene interaction, thus leading to a higher nonlinearity in graphene. A variety of the plasmonic structures will be used […]
