The project involves the development of a machine learning model which can predict targeted properties of materials from their band structure. Computational modeling methods, such as ab initio (quantum chemistry) calculations, Density Functional Theory and Molecular Dynamics, enable us to calculate properties of materials from their crystalline structure. The band structure is a representation of […]

This project aims to develop advanced statistical methods to forecast how many passengers will be waiting at bus stops at any given time, considering various factors such as weather and special events. This project will do two main things. First, we will forecast the overall number of passengers over a given period, such as an […]

In the last decade, “Conditional Cash Transfers” (CCTs) have spread across Latin America. CCTs involve small, monthly cash transfers to poor families on the condition that children attend school and obtain vaccinations. Studies suggest that these transfers are relatively effective at alleviating extreme poverty. But what are their impacts beyond the material realm? This project […]

When cancer grows, tumors create a microenvironment around them, the TME or tumor microenvironment. This acts as a force field around cancer cells that blunts the immune system and allows cancer to escape its surveillance. At Modulari-T we have developed a way to program the immune system to recognize and kill cancer cells which we […]

The objective of this investigation is to systematically quantify and compare the hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility of austempered (bainitic) steels to that of standard quenched and tempered (martensitic) steels used for manufacturing high strength mechanical fasteners. It has been shown that correctly high strength bainitic steels exhibit measurably superior ductility and toughness as compared to martensitic […]

Premièrement, le Canada est un cancre dans le financement de la recherche et de l’innovation. Le pays est à la traîne de tous ses pairs. Deuxièmement, lorsque le Canada innove, la propriété intellectuelle résultante disparait disproportionnellement à l’étranger. La recherche est donc financée par les contribuables, mais finit par subventionner indirectement les profits d’entreprises étrangères. […]

Le diabète de type 1 (T1D) résulte de la destruction auto-immune des cellules bêta du pancréas, ce qui entraîne une élévation de la glycémie. La transplantation d’îlots de Langerhans, un traitement prometteur du DT1, est limité par le nombre d’îlots provenant de dons d’organes. La différenciation de cellules souches en cellules produisant de l’insuline pourrait […]

Deformations in the sea ice cover occur along narrow Linear Kinematic Features (LKFs) when the load on the ice from the surface wind or ocean current exceeds the mechanical strength of sea ice in shear, tension, or compression. Along these high deformation lines, sea ice floes can slide along one another (shear), ridge (convergence), or […]

The ethnic minority classification of ‘Hmong’ has never been an officially recognized ‘minority nationality’ category in China, since it has long been subsumed under the broader category of ‘Miao’ with three other culturally and linguistically diverse groups for national census purposes. This means that understanding of Hmong migration patterns, ways of life, and livelihoods in […]

Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) copolymer plastics are used in many commercial applications, ranging from housing for goods, automotive fascia, LEGO bricks to 3D printing materials. Consequently, the recycling of ABS poses a challenge in the context of recycling plastic waste. It is particularly difficult as it is a multi-phase material. Polystyvert has applied their expertise in recycling […]
