This research seeks to inform the development of, and fully test and develop a mobile application designed to improve the process in which students’ find accommodation and roommates. I will develop wireframes and ask users to provide feedback on how to improve the platform. Then I will take the information collected to develop a prototype […]

Medication non-compliance is associated with poor outcomes in patients. Although different methods are currently used to measure compliance, the ability to translate this measure into a meaningful metric, which is interpretable for both methodologists and clinicians, has not yet been realized. Medication compliance has become an increasingly important area of research as policy makers perceive […]

This research project is part of a research study funded by the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care in Ontario. It examines the relationship among nursing service utilization, patient outcomes and population health care needs in long-term care/chronic care and community care/home care sectors in Ontario. It seeks to provide a needs-based Health Human Resources […]

Schizophrenia is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that affects approximately 1% of the population worldwide. Although research on schizophrenia is ongoing, little is still known about its origin. Schizophrenia is thought to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors that ultimately lead to decreased brain volume and cortical thickness changes in energy metabolism or […]

The Communications Security Establishment (CSE) is Canada’s national cryptologic agency. CSE is mandated to acquire and provide foreign signals intelligence and to provide advice, guidance and services to help ensure the protection of Government of Canada electronic information and information infrastructures. It also provides technical and operational assistance to federal law enforcement and security agencies. […]

The research will identify aspects of a location-aware map application that could be automated (either directly or with user guidance) to reduce the amount of interaction required and to make effective use of the display space for smart phones. The research will involve designing a prototype location-aware map application and extending the prototype to include […]

Current software development and refactoring practices promote the modularization of software and encourage the interoperation of software components. The emergence of service oriented architectures is now providing the incentive to promote even more modularity and interoperation between multi-vendor, multi-language, and multi-environment software. This project aims to develop a better understanding of these growing interoperation constraints […]

Behavioural detectors for intrusion detection require training in order to correctly characterize the operation of a service – protocol combination. Implicit in this is the assumption that the learning algorithm will scale to large datasets and provide simple solutions. This work will address both requirements under a Genetic Programming context through the use of a […]

The intern will assist the Greater Moncton Sewerage Commission (GMSC) in the development and production of biologically-safe composts from biosolids by providing novel technologies to assess its biosafety. To achieve this, the intern will develop molecular tools, based on the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology, to allow quick, accurate and reliable detection of human […]

The project aims to apply data mining in the VISTA clinical trails database at the Geriatric Medicine Research Unit. The data contains information about Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients, some of whom received cholinergic treatment and some of whom did not receive this treatment. Because of the variability of responses to treatment as well as the […]

The intern’s project aims to investigate how cognitive and functional abilities of patients treated for mild/moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD) change over time. Despite of neurodegenerative nature of AD, these changes might occur in every direction. According to our preliminary investigation, both improvement and worsening are possible. We will compare the long-term changes during 48 months […]

The increasing sophistication of distributed attacks on networked infrastructure has resulted in a requirement for tools capable of abstracting and alerting network managers of network status across multiple data sources. The basic objective of this project is to provide a framework for correlating information from multiple network sources into a cohesive picture of system status. […]
