Enhanced Assessment of hormonal SensitivitY in trauma CARE (EASY CARE study)

Trauma often leaves lasting effects on mental health, increasing the risk of PTSD, depression, and anxiety. These challenges can worsen during hormonal shifts like menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause. Some women may have a heightened sensitivity to these changes that could amplify symptoms, while poor sleep, including insomnia and disrupted sleeping patterns, further complicate recovery. Despite […]

Debugging ML via Feature-guided Analysis: from Neuron-based to Ensembles-based Rules

Neural networks support software engineers in their tasks and activities. For example, in the automotive domain, neural networks support automotive software by detecting other vehicles and their distance from the ego vehicle. Unlike other software systems that the engineers manually program, the neural network’s behavior is defined by its training data. Since the behavior of […]

Canagliflozin to improve enzalutamide response and suppress resistance in hormone-sensitive and castrate resistant prostate cancer (PrCa).

In this study, researchers aim to investigate whether canagliflozin, an anti-diabetic agent, can enhance the effectiveness of enzalutamide in preclinical models of prostate cancer (PrCa). Prostate cancer often becomes resistant to current therapies, such as enzalutamide, due to various molecular pathways. Canagliflozin has shown promise in suppressing these pathways in prostate cancer cells and tumors, […]

Trend and Uncertainty Analysis of Climate Change Trends for Spencer Creek, Ontario

There are however, a range of GCMs, future climate scenarios and downscalingtechniques that can be used and each yields different results. Due to this uncertainty, itis regarded as best-practice to use a collection of individual projections to develop“ranges” that characterize future climate conditions. The aim of this internship is toconduct this analysis for the variables […]

Evaluation of anti-invasive and anti-migratory effects of kaempferol and docetaxel co-treatment via modulation of drug metabolising enzymes in 2D and 3Dbreast cancer models.

Docetaxel is a key chemotherapeutic agent for treating locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, but its effectiveness is often hindered by metabolic inactivation from drug-metabolizing enzymes, leading to multidrug resistance (MDR). This study aims to investigate the anti-metastatic effects of combining kaempferol, a flavonoid known for its anticancer properties, with docetaxel in both 2D and […]

Design Journey Dashboard: A Web Tool to Support Teaching Design Thinking

Design skills are increasingly recognized as a core competency for software professionals. Unfortunately, these skills are difficult to teach because design requires freedom and open-ended thinking, but new designers require a structured process to keep them from being overwhelmed by possibilities. Students need clearly communicated expectations and an easy way of tracking responsibilities to keep […]

Developing Strategic Approaches to Enhance PVC Recycling: Addressing Additive Complexity and Improving Plastic Waste Stream Management for a Circular Economy

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), a widely used plastic, often includes a variety of additives like plasticizers and stabilizers to meet specific performance needs. However, these complex blends complicate recycling, limiting the ability to produce high-quality recycled PVC (rPVC) that meets current regulatory and environmental standards, and having manufacturers incorporate it into production. To address this, Oligomaster […]
