Due to the fast mobility of LEO satellites, ground users need to switch between LEO satellites frequently to keep the connection with the satellite network. The process of switching between satellites is called the handover process. Every handover process is associated with signalling overhead, processing delays, and data packet losses. The optimization of the handover […]

A successful computer application can easily have millions of users, but handling the network traffic generated by millions of users is not easy. The server system has to be well designed in order to properly process large, concurrent, and distributed data streams without affecting user experience. In addition, users do not generate data constantly, they […]

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 […]

Modern smartphone cameras commonly employ multi-image (or burst photography) for tasks related to image super-resolution and high-dynamic-range imaging. This project is focused on developing novel multi-image techniques that leverage the power of recently proposed neural implicit functions. Neural implicit functions (NIFs) are a new way to represent images not as a 2D grid of pixels […]

Rapid and open dissemination of research is critical for the advancement of science. Preprint servers (such as MedRxiv, BioRxiv, PsyRxiv, and aRxiv) are becoming increasingly popular in health and medicine to share early research results, particularly in the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Given the need for rapid peer review, we need to innovate […]

Canada, a country composed presently of 20 percentage of immigrants, aims to be a world leader in global problem-solving. To do so, and to draw from the insights and ingenuity of the immigrant population, requires that Canadian organizations develop faster and more effective ways of adapting newcomers into the labor market. Especially, as extant research […]

The research project collaboration between APCI and WIMTACH will involve the identification of best technology methods and processes that will enable new modes of publishing to bridge the gap between the traditional paper and online methods. The focus will be on the efficiency of delivery so that cost models are minimized, opening new opportunities for […]

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer, accounting for 3% of all cancers diagnosed in adults. Medical Imaging is essential in diagnosis and treatment of kidney cancers. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is now increasingly used in diagnosis and treatment of kidney cancer because of its ability to provide more insights […]

The purpose of this project is to identify bees and evaluate plant-pollinator networks based on the biomonitoring surveys conducted at the Meadoway in 2020-2021 with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). The aim of these surveys is to develop a baseline understanding of bee diversity in The Meadoway and evaluate the effects of plant […]

Heart failure (HF) is the third most common reason for hospitalization in Canada, where, the direct health care costs of HF are $2.8 billion. HF affects 600,000 Canadians with median survival of only 1.5 years after diagnosis. HF patients stay longer at hospital. Even after discharge, 1 out of 5 of patients returns to the […]

This project will make use of unique research knowledge and expertise (Gammel) and specialist archive collections within the Modern Literature and Culture Research Centre at Ryerson University, including life writing materials such as autobiographical accounts, diaries and letters of figures, in particular Gertrude Stein and Florine Stettheimer. It aims to develop a queer/feminist methodology, through […]

Driver drowsiness is one of the leading causes of road-based crashes. Using a driving simulator study, I plan to help with the collection of data on drowsy drivers, analysing drivers’ physiological metrics, such as eye-tracking, heart rate variability and skin conductance, using low-cost consumer grade sensors. Using sensor fusion of the physiological data, I will […]
