The aim of this project is to assess the long-term impacts of transport poverty in Canada using mixed methods approach. Transport poverty is the combined effect of transport disadvantage (including but not limited to inadequate public transport options, poor public transport accessibility, not owning or having access to car, perception of safety) and various socio- […]

The presence of chlorine-bearing compounds in sewer headspaces is a potential risk to personnel and can cause decay of valuable infrastructure through increased rates of corrosion. There is however little information available on their speciation and concentration in these systems as standard methods for sampling them from sewer headspaces do not exist. In addition, the […]

This proposed research aims to understand the barriers to mental health and physical activity supports for self-identified refugee women, from both youth and older populations, who have experienced trauma and/or violence. Limited access to adequate mental and physical health services for refugee women has led to underdiagnosis of mental illness amongst refugee women and the […]

Software-defined networking (SDN) leverages software to virtualize networking resources and make them more customizable and versatile. SDN is at the core of many ground-breaking advances and a key enabler for major technologies (e.g., 5G, IoT, Industry 4.0, and Smart Cities) that promise to have far-reaching economic and societal impact. To maximize SDN benefits, DevOps, an […]

The two goals of this project are to: 1. create a demonstration information system based on an existing system called Dreamcatcher for consultation, land-use, occupancy, and planning based on the archival material of the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation (MNCFN); and 2. use this system and First Story to preserve and promote Aboriginal […]

The Rescue Lake Simcoe Coalition wants to be more effective at engaging both at the individual level and the municipal government level around urban sprawl. The intern will bring capacity and develop tools and insights to do this more effectively via a concentrated project in the lead up to the municipal election.

The project aims to develop a strategy to drive operational efficiencies across all of Viva’s core business functions.

Quantum computers are well-suited to a subset of machine learning tasks known as supervised learning (SL). In SL, a model is trained on labelled data to generate correct labels for novel data thereafter. Robust classifiers can be achieved in SL by using the “kernel trick”, which provides a more expressive metric from a transformed point […]

Plants are fundamental to the survival of humankind. They create the oxygen we breathe, provide the food we consume, and supply raw materials for numerous industries. We want to know how plants cope with stress. This requires a deep understanding of how plant tissues and cells react to stress cues, which includes understanding how proteins […]

Asbestos was once used extensively in the fabrication of a variety of products and materials. After being declared a carcinogen and linked with a variety of lung diseases more than 2 decades ago, the use of asbestos was banned in many countries. Yet, asbestos remains a public health concern worldwide and one of the leading […]

Advances in healthcare and research are published in peer-reviewed biomedical journals all over the world. Our previous research shows that predatory journals, or fake academic journals, pose a threat to this. Predatory journals claim to publish high-quality research, but they do not follow accepted scientific publishing practices (e.g., peer review, indexing). If health decisions are […]
