Machine Learning to Optimize Service Delivery in ENCQOR Distributed Fabric

The 5G network provides an innovation in cloud assets delivery that will transform multiple application domains such as health care, autonomous driving, smart cities, Industry 4.0, etc. Relying on the ENCQOR infrastructure (the first 5G network in Canada), this research will apply machine learning to improve network failure detection and optimize network recovery for continuity of service delivery in 5G. This project also addresses a larger goal of integrating college students’ contributions into cutting-edge research and development to implement distributed machine learning algorithms. The proposed research project is used as the building blocks for a new class of Ciena’s network solutions, which will be offered to many world-class operators.

The effect of Granzyme B on photoaging

Aging is a complex, time-dependent process caused by decreased ability of the body to respond to environmental stress. In the case of skin aging, most of the associated changes are the result of sun exposure or ‘photoaging’. As the average age of the western population increases, there has been a substantial increase in interest in studying age related diseases and the causes of photoaging along with combating its effects in order to improve overall skin health and appearance. Breakdown of skin components have been linked to certain enzymes like granzyme B that can be overproduced by sunlight. It is proposed that inhibition of this enzyme may attenuate the effects of photoaging. The aim of this proposal is to investigate the relationship between granzyme B and photoaging. If successful, this research could be exploited by viDA in the development of therapeutic inhibitors to topically treat the effects of photoaging

The Black Business and Professional Association’s National Scholarship Program: An Evaluation of its Efficacy

Since its inception, the Black Business and Professional Association (BBPA) Scholarship Fund has awarded close to $5 million in scholarships to over 1,000 Black Canadian youth pursuing post-secondary education. The scholarship program is dedicated to supporting and promoting the academic excellence of Black youth, and redressing their low post-secondary educational attainment. Yet, little is known about the efficacy of the BBPA’s scholarship program in meeting its mandate. This research project will capture the experiences of BBPA scholarship recipients as well as those of high school students currently participating in its youth programs to understand how the Scholarship program and other supports affect Black youth’s post-secondary education plans, and their experience of, persistence in and completion of post-secondary studies. The findings from this study will assist the BBPA to construct new intentional programming, fine-tune existing initiatives, and build their capacity to tell their success stories in ways that are more sophisticated.

Bilan hydrique du Laboratoire naturel du mont Covey Hill

La mission du Laboratoire naturel du mont Covey Hill est de favoriser la recherche multidisciplinaire sur les composantes des écosystèmes. Au cours des 15 dernières années, les pressions anthropiques et climatiques sur l’hydrosystème du mont Covey Hill ont augmenté de manière encore peu documentée. L’objectif de ce projet, réalisé en partenariat avec Conservation de la nature Canada (CNC), est de réaliser un bilan hydrique de cette région afin de comprendre cette évolution, de guider les interventions de CNC auprès des utilisateurs de l’eau et de favoriser la protection des habitats de salamandres rares et menacées du mont Covey Hill. Le stage permettra de recenser les données disponibles, de recueillir des nouvelles données sur les résurgences et les pompages, de comptabiliser et compléter toutes les données hydrométéorologiques existantes et de quantifier le bilan hydrique depuis la mise en place du Laboratoire naturel.
