Organic solar cells are promising sources of renewable energy, with the added benefit of mechanical flexibility making them particularly desirable for many applications compared to traditional silicon solar cells. However, high cost and low efficiency has thus far hindered the commercialization of organic devices, restricting their development to academic research labs. One of the carbon-based […]

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating disease that affects many parts of patients’ lives, such as the abilities to think, move, and speak. Speech problems in ALS can have a substantial effect on patients’ quality of life. They are also related to faster disease progression and shorter survival time. It may be possible to […]

The telecommunication industry is rapidly evolving towards providing faster services to accommodate the global surge in network demand. The next-generation (5G) network aims to increase the current network speed by more than twentyfold. This transition brings enormous benefits for the economy and society. A main challenge faced by network providers, however, is that the existing […]

Climate change and global warming are among the main concerns that the whole planet is facing nowadays. One of the solutions to this problem is to substitute the current fossil fuel power plants with the nuclear reactors. However, the safe operation of the nuclear reactors is still a challenge. The mechanical designer are responsible to […]

The state of stress in depth is an important parameter for subsurface project. One of the applications of knowing the stress state is understanding induced earthquake pattern arising from geothermal energy extraction. Fault slip due to fluid injection (for energy extraction) into underground deep geological layers constitutes an environmental and potential risk issue if induced […]

The Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act 2020 has established an ambitious target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Even though the measures stipulated in the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change have been helping Canada in making significant progress towards its climate action goals, the eventual goal seems distant. The pursuit for the […]

Deep learning is nowadays one of the most popular areas in computer science which has shown extraordinary performance and enjoyed wide use in a variety of fields. This research project is aiming at exploring the application of deep learning algorithms in two fields: autonomous driving with 5G networks, and facility maintenance with CT scanning. In […]

Risk Sciences International is currently completing a comprehensive risk assessment of the potential human health effects of manganese. This assessment involves a systematic review of the worlds’ literature on epidemiological and toxicological studies of manganese, following which an international expert panel has scored all of the adverse health outcomes identified through this review using a […]

pre-agreed price. The problem of what an option is worth is usually solved using costly numerical simulation methods. We will apply Deep Learning methods to solve the Option Pricing Problem. This cutting edge technique has the advantage that, once trained, the model can simulate many scenarios at a low computational cost. Unfortunately, training is costly […]

The Arctic climate is changing three times faster than any other eco-region in the world. As the climate warms, flowering times of many species are shifting which can affect plant productivity and reproductive success. Flowering time responses to climate change among species is diverse. The diversity of responses has implications for tundra plant community structure […]
