What would it mean to have a background, visceral sense of a partner on an ongoing basis, as we moved throughout our day? How would it change our behaviour and how might it assist us? The SenseProxy application at the core of my Ph.D. research seeks to answer these questions. By joining Prof. Jessica Cauchard’s […]

Genacol Canada Corporation Inc. manufactures a bovine-sourced hydrolyzed collagen supplement (Genacol® Original Formula), which has shown efficacy in two separate clinical trials for reducing joint pain. Following digestion, hydrolyzed collagen yields amino acids and peptides that can lead to the health promoting properties of the supplement. However, the specific identity and mechanisms of action of […]

Ce projet porte sur le développement d’un instrument à savoir MISSION CORIOSITY de la compagnie canadienne ELEMISSION basé sur la spectroscopie optique LIBS et qui aura pour but de fournir une imagerie élémentaire de la surface des échantillons rocheux sur place et en temps réel. Donc la compagnie espère mettre au point leur système afin […]

Cochlear implants are surgical implanted devices that allow deaf people to recover some form of hearing and understand speech, but current devices are limited, and the consequences of these limitations have not been fully explored. For example, there is a growing consensus that hearing loss interacts with cognitive systems. Yet, relatively little is known about […]

The legalization of Cannabis (marijuana) is now supported by 66% of Canadian voters. Aphria Inc., was the first approved and licensed producer under the MMPR to begin growing in a greenhouse and is currently the second-largest marijuana producer in Canada. Unfortunately, Cannabis is attacked by a plethora of phytopathogens leading to a number of diseases […]

Ce projet s’inscrit dans un vaste programme de diagnostic et pronostic visant, à l’aide de simulations multiphysiques et de mesures expérimentales, à caractériser la ventilation dans les alternateurs hydro-électriques. Une meilleure connaissance du refroidissement de ces machines permettrait de les opérer de façon optimale afin de prolonger leur durée de vie et ainsi d’éviter des […]

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the role the gut plays in our overall health and wellbeing. Changes to this gut microbial population has been linked a host of disorders, ranging from metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity to mental disorders such as depression and anxiety. Depending on lifestyle factors, […]

Many types of cancer are currently untreatable. In Canada alone, 78,000 cancer-related deaths are seen annually, and obviously, new therapies are needed. We have identified the protein PARG as a potent stimulator of cancer growth and a valid target for anti-cancer therapy. However, specific, cell permeable inhibitors of PARG have historically been difficult to generate. […]

PRISM-ACCESS Open Minds is a health services research project that leverages online technologies. “PRISM” stands for: Pathway for Rapid, Internet-based, Self-referral to Mental health services for youth. The objective of PRISM-AOM is to develop, implement, and evaluate an online self-referral pathway to facilitate rapid and direct access to mental health services for youth. The pathway […]

In warm climates, warm temperatures cause thermal stratification in hydropower reservoirs inhibiting mixing and leading to deoxygenation of waters at depth (hypolimnium). Turbines withdrawing water at depth result in low dissolved oxygen (DO) in the downstream flow having a large negative impact on the downstream riverine ecosystem. Legislation in the USA and elsewhere now requires […]

Ericsson is an industry leader in offering telecommunication solutions and products. As an important step on the path towards the automatic and autonomous management of next generation networks, Ericsson is developing technology in machine learning and artificial intelligence that will benefit operators around the world, including in Canada where Ericsson supplies technology to most of […]

There has been an increasing focus in the health and disabilities research field on knowledge translation – that is, to ensure that emerging research can be effectively integrated into health and social service policies and into service delivery. Studies on the development of policy and services demonstrate that many factors apart from academic research evidence […]
