"The GNB3 825T allele encodes a product that has enhanced activation of heterotrimeric G proteins in vitro and could play a role in adipogenesis. We therefore evaluated the possibility that the GNB3 825T allele was associated with obesity in a sample of 213 healthy Canadian Inuit. We found that...

Generalizing the Effect of Extreme Outcomes in Risky Decision Making: A Cross Species Comparison of Pigeons and Humans
DownloadSpring 2016
Research has shown that when decisions between risky and fixed options are based on repeated exposure to the governing contingencies, preference is often influenced by an overweighting of the most extreme outcomes appearing in the decision context. Known formally as the extreme-outcome rule, this...

Non-Player Character (NPC) behaviors in today’s computer games are mostly generated from manually written scripts. The high cost of manually creating complex behaviors for each NPC to exhibit intelligence in response to every situation in the game results in NPCs with repetitive and artificial...

SSHRC NFRF-E awarded 2019: With the requested funding, I will apply my expertise in T cells and metabolism to identify new potential metabolic drugs that can enhance immune function. We hypothesize that a Insulin-Resistance (IR)-related immune and metabolic defect contributes to increased risk of...

Stope layout optimization is a critical process for the evaluation and optimization of underground mining operations. Conventionally, stopes layouts are either planned manually or optimized using deterministic methods. Developing stochastic approaches to stope optimization is valuable due to the...
