Cannabinoid uniformity is paramount to cannabis product quality and marketability. The objective of this study is to compare and evaluate two overhead lighting strategies to maximize yield and THC content in cannabis plants. The experiment will be replicated three times. This study will benefit the partner organization by determining which lighting strategy is superior for […]

Surgical manipulation (e.g., injections, electrode placement) in the developing mouse brain is essential for neuroscientists in order to study the structure and function of the brain and behaviour. Unfortunately, most atlases used in targeting are based on static adult mouse anatomical brain features. Here we propose the use of 4-dimentional (4D) brain atlases (time being […]

Hydro-generators and transformers are expected to last beyond 40 years; however, most typically last only 30 years (there are currently 50,000 operating power transformers, of which 95% are close to 30 years old). Condition monitoring, and in particular, the ability to monitor partial discharge (PD), will allow power generation companies and transmission utilities to identify […]

The creation of an immersive space requires the precise connection of audio, visual and haptic systems. Current methods for connecting these systems rely on software engineers to rebuild the tools each time a change is made to the mappings, making it difficult for designers to experiment with new interaction methods. This internship will support and […]

Levansucrase (LS) is an enzyme that can catalyse reactions converting sugars, alkyl and phenolic compounds to complex oligosaccharides. In-depth studies are still needed regarding the reactions with alkyl and phenolic compounds which show high potential in increasing their antioxidant properties. In addition, further work is necessary to investigate the ability of LS to produce functional […]

Collogh Cares Inc is a digital health technology and advocacy start up, committed to preventing kidney failure, one family at a time .We are building an end-to-end solution to the problem of kidney disease and the inadequate follow-up of Chronic Kidney Patients. Our solution constitutes of a Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) management “ecosystem” comprising of […]

The Salvation Army currently works in 132 countries, promoting international development, disaster relief, health care, education, anti-trafficking/anti-slavery work, and women’s ministries throughout the world. How did a small British outreach develop into a world-wide humanitarian organization? My proposed research will examine The Salvation Army’s global expansion from 1880-1918 by studying the Booth family. Much research […]

Amplitude Ventures mission is centered around creating, growing and accelerating companies based on Canadian innovative research. Our goal with this project is to continue developing our company creation process. We will identify innovative scientific concepts that have the potential to evolve into IP and constitute a company in the future with the goal of designing […]

The project aims to facilitate the research and development of new drugs by employing machine learning methods to generate new molecules. This includes understanding various properties about known molecules by training deep learning models for the purpose of molecular generation. The gained understanding of molecules will be used to improve existing models and generate novel […]

Major sustainability challenges, such as climate change, are global; thus, addressing them requires active transnational and cross-sectoral approaches to knowledge sharing for collective action. However, the dominant practice of flying thousands of scientists and delegates to attend climate summits and international meetings is responsible for a significant share of carbon emissions. The question, then, is […]

Many species on earth are experiencing changes in their geographic distributions as climate change progresses. Ecologists don’t fully understand what limits or promotes a species ability to move in response to global change- factors such as temperature, interactions with other species, and population genetics can all play a role. I am interested in exploring how […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the public need for molecular diagnostic tools to identify pathogen panels through nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT). Many clinical labs worldwide have now established infrastructures for routine molecular assays using classic quantitative PCR (qPCR). In order to further advance this – now routine – tool for in vitro diagnostics (IVD), […]
