Pollination services provided by honey bees is imperative to crop production in Canada. Unfortunately, honey bee health is compromised by pests and diseases leading to the decline and/or death of hives and decreased pollination. In this project we will implement the usage of a special inspenser to bring in materials that will protect the honey […]

This study will systematically review the role of the private sector in the management of NCDs (including cardiovascular disease, cancer, etc.) in developing countries, and its implications to Kyrgyzstan. We will try to understand how low- and middle-income countries with similar GDP per capita, disease burden, and health system needs have harnessed the capacity of […]

An internet forum is an online site for people to have conversations. It contains threads to hold discussions between users. Recommending appropriate threads to forum users is one of the main goals of an internet forum. To provide positive user experience, cross-domain thread recommendation is required, which can be benefited greatly from the help of […]

Users on the League platform have access to a number of health and wellness benefits including massage, physiotherapy, personal trainers and a variety of other programs; however, not all of them fully utilize them to maximize their wellbeing. Utilizing the health and program utilization data we want to develop robust personalized predictions that will suggest […]

COVID-19 pandemic has brought the world to standstill with more than 3 million people infected and more than 200 000 mortality so far. It has literally brought the health care systems in many countries to the breaking point, if not beyond. The economic consequences have been devastating with millions of people out of work. We […]

Environmental pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption has prompted significant worldwide activity to find effective renewable/regenerative energy solutions. Solutions where power is produced and waste heat from the exhaust is recuperated have great potential, especially for distributed (decentralized) power generation (DPG). The latter approach reduces energy losses that are caused by the […]

Leveraging the entirety of point of sale and loyalty data collected across a category, as well as additional socio-economic and other supporting data sources, apply statistical modelling to identify the own-price elasticity of demand and cross-price elasticity of demand at regular and promoted price points across Unilever’s portfolio within that category. Subsequently measuring the promotional […]

Nanomaterials as carriers are very suitable for the delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs in cancer treatment. Because nanomaterials as a carrier platform have strong permeability and retention delay in the treatment of tumors, they can passively target tumor cells. Metal organic framework ?MOF ?is a kind of porous material with large pore size and high specific […]

The recent outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 associated coronavirus disease, COVID-19, had been declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. There is still only a minimal understanding of the virus and an absence of effective targeted therapy for its treatment. Epigenetic regulations in cells control the expression of genes without modifications to the genetic […]

The wide-spread adoption of digital pathology has opened new horizons for histopathology. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are able to operate on digitized slides to assist pathologists with different tasks. Whereas AI involving classification and segmentation methods have obvious benefits for image analysis, image search represents a fundamental shift in computational pathology. Image-based search for digitized […]

The research will highlight the COVID-19 related economic and social challenges faced by Syrian Refugees who have settled in Rural Canada. These new residents have settled, started to adjust to life in Canada, and have suddenly found themselves challenged by economic and social uncertainty brought about by COVID-19. The results of this research will help […]

The Canadian agricultural sector has been particularly effected by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to shortages in agricultural labour, the sector relies on the annual arrival of migrant workers, which in 2020 was disrupted due to the travel restrictions and quarantine orders enacted to fight the spread of this virus. As a result, […]
