Libro Credit Union wants to improve the Owners’ (customers) financial experience engaging them actively through the institution’s initiatives. Therefore, Libro is dedicating efforts to objectively measure which initiatives have a greater impact on the owner’s engagement; so they can have better insights into their audiences and can ensure best-served owners with tailored initiatives. Our main […]

Structurée par une collaboration de recherche internationale entre des chercheurs.res de l’Université d’Ottawa, de l’université Toulouse – Jean-Jaurès et des Archives municipales de Toulouse, cette thèse porte sur l’histoire des comportements sexuels ordinaires et quotidiens se déployant des les divers espaces et lieux de sociabilité de Toulouse au XVIIIe siècle. Notre principal objectif est de […]

Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of cholesterol, fat and immune cells deposits in large arteries. In the body, the main inflammatory modulators are called immune cells. We have recently discovered that a type of immune cell called marginal zone B (MZB) cells protect from atherosclerosis (Nus, Nat Med 2017). In response […]

The development of environment-friendly freezing technologies to contaminated water is a potential solution for water treatment in regions with cold weather conditions and vulnerable to anthropogenic impact. The results of laboratory tests fulfilled by Core Geoscience Services Inc. on the removal of mine-impacted water species through ice formation along with other publicly available data will […]

Despite its growing prevalence of chronic musculoskeletal disease in society, its cause is still poorly understood. Emerging research suggests that degenerative spine disease may be an important facilitator to the development of chronic inflammatory musculoskeletal disease. We aim to investigate the effect of degenerative spine disease on muscle inflammation, pain and dysfunction by using an […]

Individuals with limited or poor credit history are often unable to access credit from traditional sources such as banks. While some alternative lenders will provide credit to such individuals, these lenders typically lack reliable sources of information which can be used to accurately assess the risk that the loans they make will not be repaid, […]

As technology continues to make smaller and more flexible devices possible manufacturers of these devices need ways to hold them together. Normal methods of bonding two thin pieces of metal together no longer meet all the depends placed on them by the relatively small size of the devices. In order to meet this challenge this […]

The web browser is arguably the most security-critical component in our information infrastructure. Banking, social networking, shopping, navigation, and card payments – almost any activity you can imagine now takes place within a browser window. HTML5 is a potential candidate for changing our experience on the web and its sale on devices is forecasted to […]

The project is concerned with delivering a real-world joint perception prediction and tracking system that outperforms the current system implemented in the Uber ATG software stack. This will be achieved by implementing a production version of a state-of-the-art academic paper developed by the research team, testing it against real world scenarios, and then modifying the […]

This evaluation will investigate the implementation and effectiveness of the integrated community mental health services for youth and young adults with mental health and addiction problems. The evaluation will entail two distinct pieces of research: (1) an evaluation of the implementation of the program and (2) an evaluation of the outcomes of participants in the […]

Fibrosis comprises different connective tissue disorders that ultimately result in deposition of detrimental scar tissue in injured or inflamed organs. The culprit cells for organ scarring are called myofibroblasts because they secrete fibrous collagen matrix (“fibro”) that is contracted (“myo”) into scar tissue. Excessive myofibroblast activities are responsible for loss of function of vital organs […]

The Quantum Autoencoder was proposed as a device which can compress quantum states efficiently. One possible application on near term quantum devices would be the compression of quantum data in order to protect it from decoherence effects. The compression however, also introduces noise to the quantum states so that it will not always be beneficial […]
