Application of artificial intelligence for modeling driving behavior supported with real time trajectory development

The proposed research work is aimed at developing trajectory data on a real-time basis. On successful completion of the project, a real-time image processing framework will be available for developing innumerable trajectory datasets over the study sections. These datasets can enormously boost current driving behavior studies and facilitate Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAV) research. Along with […]

The role of Peyer’s patches in mycotoxicity

Mycotoxins are toxic metabolites from mold that commonly contaminate cereal and livestock feed crops around the world. The consumption of mycotoxins contributes to substantial economic losses to the livestock industry due to reduced productivity and health. There are over 500 different classes of mycotoxins, many of which have unknown mechanisms of action (MOA). Adding mycotoxin […]

Wide-baseline Novel Scene Synthesis from a Single Image

Novel view synthesis is the process of generating new images from an unseen perspective, given at least one image of a scene. There may be more than one probable novel view associated with each unseen perspective, an assumption made by existing methods. This simplifying assumption prevents these methods from being applied to more difficult novel […]

Economics Reference Guide to Music-Use Copyright Tariffs in Canada

There is a growing body of international research demonstrating that the economic contribution copyright based industries is becoming increasingly important. Specifically, there is a growing need in the Canadian music and music-use related industry to analyze the copyright process applied towards different uses of music in Canada. The objective of the proposed “Reference Guide” is […]

Classification of Shocked Basalts from Vargeão Dome and Vista Alegre: Implications for the Search for Life on Mars

Meteorite impact events into water-bearing targets, though initially detrimental, can provide an environment for rock/water interactions promoting metabolically relevant chemistry required for early life to assemble. The resulting hydrothermal systems are found on Earth as well as Mars. Based on the biological implication of impact-generated lithologies on Earth, there is reason to believe Mars may […]

Water and Thermal Management in PEM Fuel Cells

Water and thermal management are two critical issues for PEM fuel cells; the problem is exacerbated for operation at high current densities in an effort to increase power density for reduced cost. The proposed research will focus on the characterization, analysis and modeling of water and heat transport through the PEM fuel cell components, from […]

Development of a tissue culture platform to investigate piscine orthoreovirus infectious cycle in-vitro

The aquaculture industry is constantly growing worldwide. Vast arrays of fish species are farmed in freshwater, brackish, and marine systems. In farms, fish reach high-population densities, which facilitates the outbreaks of infectious diseases. This is a big challenge for the aquaculture industry, particularly in the case of viral pathogens because there are few, if any, […]

Security Analysis of the Rainbow-eta Signature Scheme

Digital signatures are used as electronic alternatives to handwritten signatures, and are built upon mathematical problems. Such problems are computationally unfeasible to solve with classical computers, and give the security basis for signature schemes. With the possible advent of quantum computers, conventional signatures created by currently used schemes cannot be considered secure. Thus, the need […]
