Development of leaks in abdominal cavity following surgery cause acute complications that have a high mortality rate and lead to expensive corrective procedures. These leaks are mostly detected following the development of complications as currently there is no method for their early detection and hence timely intervention which can save lives is not possible. In […]

Howell ventures, located in Fredericton, is a leading company in North America for designing and producing driving aids. Driving aids, such as “remote spinner knobs” enable individuals who have physical limitations (due to structural, traumatic, or pathological reasons) who want to maintain their independence by driving their vehicles. The purpose of the study is to […]

The outer covering of organisms often come in the form of a cellular plasma membrane, providing protection from harsh external factors. However, protection is not its only function; it acts as a matrix for important cellular reactions and processes (e.g. signal transduction, protein interactions, and more). At its basis, the membrane is a lipid bilayer […]

Softab Technologies is a fast-growing company in Windsor, Ontario that is developing new formulations and methods to provide nutraceuticals: vitamins, natural extracts, and minerals in a revolutionary new form of chewable and dissolvable gel. They are working with a research team in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Windsor to refine […]

The efficiency of many chemical reactions is improved by addition of metal-based catalysts to the solution, however, the best of these catalysts are often based on some of the scarcest elements on the periodic table. The high costs of obtaining these elements makes catalysts based on ore Earth-abundant elements, but these base metals often do […]

Dans les domaines de la fabrication industrielle, la tendance est au remplacement progressif des matériaux classiques (plastique, acier, aluminium, etc.) par des matériaux composites ou polymères renforcés de fibres (PRF) à cause de leur excellente résistance, poids léger, faible densité, excellent module d’élasticité et forte résistance à la corrosion. Aujourd’hui, pour la fabrication de matériaux […]

Le projet de recherche concerne le developpemen d’un composite polymere pouvant etre moule dane le procede do roromoulage. Tout d’abord, des tests de feu devront etre prepares affin de s’assurer de la qualite des formulations de resines developpees sans avoir a les faire analyser dans un laboratoire accredite (tres cher). Les tests a developper seront […]

The objective of the proposed internship is to help support the launch of Phase 2 of an app created by ParticipACTION, Canada’s leading non-profit physical activity organization. The goal of the free app is to motivate inactive Canadians to sit less and move more. This will entail liaising with key experts and organizations in the […]

Prescribed fire and mechanical removal of woody vegetation have become popular disturbance methods for restoring globally rare alvar and grassland habitats that support many species at risk, such as reptiles. However, the effects that these restoration efforts have on rare reptiles is largely unknown. This study will identify alterations in habitat usage of endangered snake […]

D-Wave systems purports to have designed a quantum processor based on scalable architecture that physically implements quantum annealing, an algorithm that can be used to solve a wide variety of optimization problems. In order for D-Wave devices to exhibit a performance advantage over classical processors, it is necessary that the devices utilize a resource that […]

Humans have a finite capacity for hard exercise. Sports scientists can mathematically determine this capacity by using multiple tests to exhaustion at different exercise intensities and looking at the relationship. However, the current testing protocols assume that once the initial point of fatigue is reached, exercise must be stopped. In the proposed study, we aim […]

The origin of Supermassive Black Holes that are observed to exist in the early Universe is one of the key questions in astronomy. There are different models that try to explain how these black holes formed and grew in a short period of time. One such model is the collision of protostars resulting in massive […]
