At present, networks for the studying of fashion exist globally in Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States, among others. Canada, too, is home to some of these collaborative sites, for example the Canadian Fashion Scholars and the Canadian Arts & Fashion Awards. Many of these networks have flourished through the publishing of an […]

Disorders of ovarian function are major causes of infertility, subfertility and cancer in mammals. For this reason, our research interest is the study of ovarian physiology and dysfunction; particularly the regulation of ovarian follicle development and ovulation in cattle. Recently, we generated considerable insight into the regulation of a completely novel signaling pathway during ovarian […]

Russian invasion of Ukraine began in February 2014 after Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea. A larger invasion took place on February 24, 2022. Both conflicts have caused the displacement of 8 million Ukrainians to date. This is the largest humanitarian crisis in history since World War II. A significant percentage of these Ukrainian refugees have […]

En 2011, le test génomique prénatal non invasif (TGPNI) a permis d’analyser l’ADN fœtal dans le sang maternel pour dépister efficacement la trisomie 21. Présentement, le système de santé public rembourse ce test dispendieux uniquement pour des individus déjà dépistés à haut risque par des tests biochimiques moins performants. Ce projet vise à informer les […]

The Smart Vertical Farming project will utilize smart sensor technologies and advanced computing to optimize indoor growing conditions for plants. Researchers will monitor inputs such as fertilizer levels, soil conditions, lighting, temperature, humidity and CO2 levels in real-time and make correlations to the plant growth using cameras to measure foliage density, colour and health. Advanced […]

Les modèles d’apprentissage profonds ont révolutionné la vision par ordinateur. Cependant, ils requièrent une forte quantité de données annotées avec précision afin de pouvoir convenablement « apprendre » à résoudre une tâche donnée. En particulier, la segmentation sémantique, consistant à prédire la classe sémantique de chacun des pixels présents dans une image, est une tâche […]

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are cryptographic assets on a blockchain with unique identification codes and metadata that distinguish them from each other. Due to its vast usability in different industries, such as gaming, real estate, and art, many professionals believe it will be the future of trading. However, like any other new technology, it has issues […]

Empathy is important to therapeutic relationships and patient-centred care where patients’ preferences and needs are met. We have developed a web browser app called In Your Shoes (IYS) that runs on any browser and has potential to provide empathy training experiences in any situation requiring perceptual understanding of what others are thinking and feeling. The […]

Accessibility and availability are major factors of an effective health care system. Though Canadians have free access to medically necessary services, there are accessibility issues at primary care clinics such as long wait times, language barriers for new immigrants, lack of proper information about clinics and doctors, and so on. Waiting for a primary healthcare […]

T cells are specialized immune cells that protect us against infection and cancer. These cells express a molecule (known as the T cell receptor, or TCR) which recognizes a small portion of foreign or abnormal proteins presented on the surface of infected or cancer cells. The interaction between the TCR and this small protein fragment […]

Building software systems is a complex task. Teams of developers must gather and exchange large quantities of technical and conceptual information to build reliable systems. This transfer of knowledge is mainly supported by tangible documents that contain information deemed important for different contexts. However, determining what information is important is itself challenging. The importance should […]

As Canada’s economy and population continue to rise, primarily due to substantial immigration, there is an urgent need for new infrastructure, in particular, in remote regions of Canada. This can be achieved through advanced technologies to improve productivity of the Canadian construction industry while reducing the environmental impact of construction. This project proposes the Self-Deployable […]
