Using Deep Learning for Auto-tuning of High Performance GPU Applications

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are increasingly used to accelerate applications and to reduce their energy use. GPUs are particularly attractive for mobile platforms, where battery life is important. However, GPUs are hard to use, requiring developers to apply optimizations to their code to realize the performance and energy benefits of GPUs–a tedious and error prone […]

STUDY OF INDIAN AND UKRAINIAN LEGAL FRAMEWORKS REGULATING BIOFERTILIZERS AND BIOCONTROL AGENTS IN REFERENCE TO CANADIAN MICROBIAL PRODUCTS – Year two

This research aims at primarily analysing the legal frameworks regulating biofertilizers and biopesticides (also known as ‘biologicals’) in India and Ukraine. After studying and analysing the legal frameworks, and barriers in registration procedures for R&D, trial, transfer, trade, transport and storage of new molecules and microbial strains of agro-biologicals, a draft of alternative regulations will […]

STUDY OF INDIAN AND UKRAINIAN LEGAL FRAMEWORKS REGULATING BIOFERTILIZERS AND BIOCONTROL AGENTS IN REFERENCE TO CANADIAN MICROBIAL PRODUCTS

Unsustainable application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has steadily declined food productivity the world over. Hence, agricultural practices need to evolve to sustainably meet the growing global demand for food without irreversibly damaging the world’s natural resources. Biofertilizers and biopesticides hold the potential to maintain agricultural productivity, while safeguarding agroecosystems and microclimates. While development/consumption of […]

Regulating Abnormal Connectivity in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder via Real-time fMRI Neurofeedback

Patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are characterized by decreased prefrontal cortex (PFC) regulation on hyperactive emotion generation regions, such as the amygdala. Real-time (rt)-fMRI neurofeedback allows for localized brain regions to be self-regulated through neuroimaging signal feedback. Recently within our lab, learning to decrease amygdala activation via neurofeedback was shown to normalize the neural […]
