Most computer services nowadays are provided in cloud environments. Inevitably, every individual needs to use these environments when they have to use computer services. Considering cyber threats in the cloud infrastructure, security and privacy conservation of one is really challenging. Out of date techniques are no more executable in these infrastructures. However, machine learning algorithms […]

Security has become increasingly important as cyberattacks are more prominent. Despite advances in security technologies there’s still a need for a new security architecture that is simply adaptable and scalable to different and evolving security requirements of various organizations. This project will study the latest technologies and solutions in the field of Cybersecurity that are […]

The commercial pocket diary has been one of the most common ways in which people have recorded their lives over the past two and a half centuries. Yet as a hybrid genre it has often fallen through the net of our historical enquiries. My project will research the importation and production of pocket diaries in […]

Thallium-201 (Tl-201) is mostly known to clinicians from its previous use in diagnostic imaging. However, this radionuclide is also a potent Auger electron emitter, releasing around 21 short range, low energy electrons per decay. Auger electron emitters have a potential in targeted treatment of small tumours due to localised energy transfer. So far, Tl-201 therapeutic […]

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic psychiatric disorder with peak age of onset between 15 and 25 years. In clinical practice it takes over a decade from initial symptom presentation to accurate diagnosis, with such delays being linked to a range of adverse consequences. Therefore, finding early markers of vulnerability is essential. Familial history (i.e. […]

Girls with Turner syndrome (TS), a chromosomal condition in which a female has complete or partial absence of the second sex chromosome, present a unique group of patients, with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Since the mid 1900s extensive research has led to advancements in the treatment of Turner syndrome: growth hormone therapy can […]

In the field of childhood disability research, there is an important shift towards engaging with patients and families who have the lived experience of a disability. To build authentic relationships with family partners, there should be clear communication throughout all study phases. To our knowledge, the Involvement Matrix is to the only tool to guide […]

Information security is of paramount importance to Canada and its enterprises. In this project, the intern will research, design and implement components of an enterprise Digital Rights Management (DRM) solution with iThinkSecurity Ltd. DRM allows for control over digital data redistribution. The target platforms are phones and tablets, which are rapidly becoming a main source […]

Iron and Steel are the backbone of major industrial sectors, like automobile, building and construction, heavy machine manufacturing etc. and Blast Furnace (BF) Ironmaking is the chief production route of iron throughout the world. The objective of this project is to develop novel models for blast furnaces to enhance their productivity in a sustainable way […]

Reactive crystallization is a process commonly used for the production of chemical compounds including pharmaceutical ingredients. In a stirred-tank setup, one reagent solution stream is injected into the reactor where it meets a sitting solution of the other reagent. Reaction occurs as soon as the reagents meet, forming an insoluble product which quickly precipitates in […]

Antibiotics are applied to agricultural plants and soils as plant protection products (PPPs) to combat bacterial disease. Their use in agriculture has the potential to cause development and spread of antibiotic resistance genes. Non antibiotic PPPs such as herbicides and insecticides are also applied to agricultural soils. There has been limited research into whether non […]

People with chronic lung diseases must breathe with more force and with more breaths because their diseased lungs do not exchange oxygen as well. This occurs in interstitial lung disease, when the lungs are stiffer and in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, when the airways are obstructed due to phlegm and swelling. The breathing muscles in […]
