Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a portable, non-ionizing imaging method with high accuracy for numerous respiratory conditions.1-3 These properties allow LUS – unlike other lung imaging techniques – to be delivered at scale and outside of traditional healthcare environments that may allow for broadly distributed diagnosis, triage or prognosis of respiratory conditions.4–11 As training for LUS […]

This project aims to provide an alternative therapeutic for the prevention and treatment of the virus responsible for COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, as well as respiratory syncytial virus and influenza. Using a single viral vector platform, we will deliver antibodies from human survivors of these diseases to provide sustained levels of protection against the virus for all […]

Humalite is a naturally occurring organic substance containing high concentrations of humic acid. Humic-based substances are well known for improving the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil. Therefore, humalite may be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly soil amendment with a wide variety of end uses. Large deposits of humalite were found in Southern […]

It is critical for farmers to have cultivars so that they can make decisions on the best practices to undertake when growing a new crop and maintain productivity and competitiveness in the marketplace. Pulse production is growing in demand and is an established market in Canada. In addition, plant based protein products are growing in […]

Recently, principles gleaned from research on learning have been applied to change people’s brains. Specifically, there is evidence that how the brain communicates can be changed through the application of positive and negative reinforcement, a concept known as neurofeedback. Importantly, researchers claim that by changing how the brain communicates, neurofeedback can change behaviour and reduce […]

One of the most critical components of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks is the accurate detection of a nerve within an ultrasound image. Trying to classify the various types of tissue in a noisy, greyscale ultrasound feed is a very daunting task. Therefore, a software solution would help doctors to perform the procedure in a precise and […]

Pharmacists are providing increasingly patient-centered clinical services such as Pharmacists Prescribing for Minor Ailments (PPMA). However, several factors delay pharmacists’ ability to implement PPMA including integration with workflow and time constrains. Technology solutions aim to support PPMA can be important innovative tools to help pharmacists to perform PPMA. The aim of this project is to […]

The use of new monitoring technologies such as the Motus wildlife tracking system and autonomous recorders currently allow detection of animals and their movements in a variety of ecosystems. Although, the biology of migratory birds in northern latitudes is well understood, there is a lack of information on migration routes, stopovers, and overwinter sites in […]

One purpose of the proposed research project is to contribute to the My Normative (MyN) app development by increasing the number of users on the app and maintaining long-term app usage. The second purpose is to verify the accuracy of the app’s menstrual cycle prediction in female persons of varying cycles less than or greater […]

Le projet consiste à synthétiser un nouveau système d’encapsulation d’ARN messager. L’objectif est donc de développer un matériau polymère plus stable et moins coûteux pour son utilisation dans des applications comme les vaccins à ARN messager. Grâce à ce nouveau système nous espérerons rendre les traitements plus efficace lors de leur insertion dans le corps […]

Le projet à pour but d’obtenir une surface avec des propriétés qui peuvent changer grâce à une stimulation. Dans notre cas une stimulation à une longueur d’onde précise. Dans un premier temps je dois synthétiser un polymère qui va permettre de changer la nature de la surface de silice. Ce processus ce fait en plusieurs […]

SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, is found in the stool of the infected individuals and eventually ended up at the wastewater treatment plants. Since COVID-19 pandemic started, researchers all around the world have been investigating SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater to understand fate of SARS-CoV-2 and predict a potential outbreak by monitoring wastewater for the detection and […]
