In spite of major advances in our knowledge and better treatments, heart attacks, strokes and blood clots in the legs and lungs, continue to major causes of disability and death. Recent studies reveal that a protein (a so-called “serine protease”) in our blood, when increased, may heighten the risk of excess blood clot formation in […]

The proposed research project will demonstrate the feasibility to fly a small uninhabited aircraft for very long, multiday missions by providing it with power using a mix of wireless power transmission and solar-power. The wireless power transmission will be sent as a directed microwave beam from a ground-based transmitter and received using rectennas that are […]

Tribute Kiosk currently operates photo booths that are touch-based in terms of their operation. However, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, consumers are hesitant to interact directly with high-contact surfaces. Tribute Kiosk seeks to migrate the functionality of its photo booths to a touchless format while also adding new interactive augmented reality features to […]

Chronic pain (CP) is a prevalent, disabling, and costly disorder. The gold standard treatment for chronic pain is care from an interdisciplinary pain clinic (IPC) – a rare resource in Canada that is often associated with long wait times (up to five years). These long wait times increase the risk of physical and mental deterioration […]

La compétition entre les arbres pour les ressources du milieu s’intensifie à mesure que la forêt se développe. Le traitement sylvicole alors utilisé afin de réduire la compétition est l’éclaircie précommerciale (EPC), qui vise la libération et la redirection des ressources vers les essences d’arbre désirées. Dans la forêt boréale, le couvert végétal au sol […]

Development of an Avionics system test methodology, based on the Test and Test Control Notation (TTCN-3). This will include (1) a gap analysis between TTCN-3 and current avionics test languages and environments and (2) a large scale case study. Of particular interest, will be the ability to model and verify both continuous control and discrete […]

In this project, we will explore the new ways to design and implement a Low-Code Software Development platform that is easy to use, requires minimum software knowledge, is business logic oriented, and robust to dependency change. Specifically, we provide functional templates with detailed configuration flexibility to cover the high frequency requirements from the expected business […]

York University and Jazz Pharmaceuticals are undertaking a project to accelerate development of their Leukemia drug candidate. The project will take advantage of unique technologies developed at York by Drs. Wilson and Krylov, Millisecond Hydrogen Deuterium eXchange (msHDX) mass spectrometry and Kinetic Capillary Electrophoresis (KCE), to provide a high-detail picture of Jazz Pharmaceutical’s candidate, including […]

Adversarial perturbation of all the image pixels is computationally intensive and may not be realized in practice. In contrast, an adversarial patch attack where an adversary can choose to perturb a specific subset of pixels in an image, is more practical in fooling a trained image classifier or hiding a person from an object-detection model. […]

A low oxygen level can be life-threatening if not identified early. Many lung diseases, including the COVID-19 virus, can lead to oxygen deficiency. Currently, only a contact biomedical device is capable of measuring oxygen levels in the human body. This makes the measurement limited to people who can wear the device. Our goal is to […]

A new process to create greenhouse glazing using 3D Printing is prototyped and tested. Using the principle of layer height fusion of plastic, new glazing will be created to provide shading and diffused light. The 3D Printed glazing will also be changed through the 3D Printer to change the amount of shading and diffused light, […]

Canada is having a youth unemployment crisis that has only worsened post-COVID. At the same time, an untapped pool of young, diverse talent exists to fill entry-level positions. However, difficulties arise when trying to match youth with employers. In particular, youth have indicated that job postings can be unfamiliar or intimidating and ask for unrealistic […]
