The dye and pigment industry continues to be identified as one of the biggest pollutive and toxic industries. Textile dying is the second largest water polluter and produces 20% of the world’s wastewater using almost a million tons of synthetic dyes annually. Because many of the dyes and chemicals used in this industry can cause […]

Contamination of water and soil with heavy metals, particularly with mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb), is a huge problem of modern society. Rigorous monitoring of levels of Hg and Pb in water and renewable resources including food, natural and naturopathic products and/or cosmetics, is drastically important. Therefore proper methodologies for the express detection and effective […]

Ice hockey goaltending is a highly unique position that requires equipment that can provide adequate protection while maximizing performance. CCM hockey has two different ice hockey goaltender leg pad models: a stiff leg pad, and a flexible leg pad. Common feedback for the stiff leg pad model is that it feels bulky and is thought […]

Proteins are large molecules found in all tissues they are composed of amino acids. Proteins perform most of the function in our bodies. Diseases are the result of changes to specific amino acids in proteins that result in alteration or complete loss of protein function. Pharmaceutical interventions in controlling or eliminating diseases depend on the […]

My research project at ASIIA would focus more on the properties of the ISM for PSR J0621+1002. Scintillation is caused by inhomogeneity in the ISM, known as scattering screens. The main objective of the project is to map the scattering screen between us and the pulsar and how it changes over 8-10 years of observed […]

La larve de carpocapse des pommes et des poires (Cydia pomonella) est l’un des principaux ravageurs des vergers au Canada. La demande pour des traitements alternatifs et durables aux insecticides chimiques est en croissance. BioTepp, une entreprise québécoise, est spécialisé dans la production in vivo d’un biopesticide dont l’agent actif est le virus de la […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a safe way to non-invasively probe the body, particularly for imaging soft tissues. In Canada, MRI use is growing, but there’s a concern with people who have medical devices inside them, as the strong magnets used in MRI could cause problems for these devices. Doctors are interested in using MRI […]

Un but fondamental des neurosciences est la compréhension des opérations de base du cerveau, et comment celles-ci sont affectées par les changements comportementaux. Plus précisément, de quelles façons l’activité neuronale est-elle liée aux processus cognitifs et comportementaux ? Depuis son développement, la microscopie optique a toujours été un instrument de choix pour étudier les propriétés […]

Any new tool must match the sensitivity and ease of the best homogenous liquid sampling techniques. It must execute automated slurry capture, phase separation, and sample delivery without perturbing solute-solid equilibria. Our in-line slurry manipulation utilizes EasySampler™ slurry probe, capturing solids and liquids. The sample is delivered via a weak solvent to an inline filter […]

A coherent microwave source is a crucial component in various applications operating within the RF frequency band, including telecommunications, sensing and medical imaging. It provides a stable reference signal, transmits information, and drives other RF components. Recent research by the Hu Group has developed a new method for generating highly coherent microwave emissions, which holds […]

Peanut products are known to contain allergens capable of causing severe and life threatening allergic reactions. Classically, Ara h 1, Ara h 2, and Ara h 3 are considered to be the major peanut allergens, whereas Ara h 9 is the most prevalent allergen in Mediterranean countries. Current detection methods of peanut allergens are expensive […]
