Invasive plant cover and density following emerald ash borer-induced mortality in southern Ontario forests
(2022)
The emerald ash borer has caused widespread ash mortality in eastern North
American forests, where forest managers are also facing challenges due to invasions of
undesirable exotic plant species. This study aims to explore ...
Decolonizing (for settlers): a pedagogical framework for enacting responsibilities
(2021)
The first section of this portfolio offers a grounding of core concepts central to the
framework, specifically an explanation of settler colonialism, why use the terms Indigenous and
settler, and what decolonization ...
Effect of organic carbon to nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) ratios on the performance of a novel microalgal-bacterial membrane photobioreactor
(2021)
*Embargoed until October 2024
Characterization of novel cellulase and glucose isomerase-producing bacteria and optimization of the enzyme production conditions and their potential applications in environment and industry
(2022)
Cellulases and glucose isomerases are vital enzymes in converting cellulose into fructose.
Cellulases catalyze cellulose conversion to glucose, while glucose isomerase catalyzes the
reversible isomerization of glucose ...
Deep learning techniques for the radiological imaging of COVID-19
(2021)
The AI research community has recently been intensely focused on diagnosing COVID19 by applying deep learning technology to the X-ray scans taken of COVID-19 patients.
COVID-19 shares many of the same imaging characteristics ...
Salmonid thermal habitats in Lake Superior tributaries
(2020)
For some potamodromous salmonid species, such as the Brook Trout, streams are a critical
spawning habitat but also habitat for juveniles and stream residents to grow. Salmonids are coldwater fishes and cooler stream water ...
Invasive spiny water flea (Bythotrephes cederströmii) and their impacts on young-of-year walleye (Sander vitreus) growth
(2022)
Invasive species are a major threat to aquatic ecosystems, costing an estimated $3.6
billion in impacts across Ontario. In particular, the predatory cladoceran Bythotrephes
cederströmii (Bythotrephes hereafter) has had ...
The effects of neurocognitive and physical tasks on breathing and executive functioning in healthy versus concussed Canadian military members
(2022)
When on active-duty, Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members may be exposed to
dangers and repetitive sub-concussive impacts such as explosive devices, loud gunfire, and handto-hand physical combat. These individuals are at ...
3D GPU-based image reconstruction algorithm for the application in a clinical organ-targeted PET camera
(2022)
Functional medical imaging is unique in its ability to visualize molecular interactions and
pathways in the body. Organ-targeted Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a
functional imaging technique that has emerged to ...
Unpaved roads’ surface evaluation using unmanned aerial vehicle and deep learning segmentation
(2021)
Unpaved roads have a significant role in Canada's transportation and service activities,
accounting for close to 60% of Canada's total public road networks. Furthermore, they
connect agricultural, mining, recreational ...
