Automated Forensic Artifacts Collection Solution

Cyber attackers can sometimes compromise endpoint machines. They may perform malicious actions that will damage the company. As a result, it is necessary to collect forensics artifacts (Information from the endpoint machine that can be used to trace the attackers’ behaviors) from the compromised machine for investigation. With the information we have, we may reconstruct […]

Quantum Deep Neural Nets for Spatial-Temporal Problems

Atmospheric behaviour will change substantially with Climate Change and is one of our generation’s most pressing challenges. The world requires accurate estimates of future the impacts from droughts, floods, heat waves, increase hazards, from freezing rain to hurricane to plan, prepare and mitigate. Combatting climate change requires reducing our emissions in a strategic way. Current […]

Investigating Cannflavins A and B as Inhibitors of TrkB Signaling for Treatment of Glioblastoma Multiforme

Glioblastoma is the most common type of adult brain cancer. Glioblastoma tumors are very aggressive because these cells can rapidly invade deep into healthy tissue, which makes them particularly difficult to attack with current treatment options including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Therefore, better pharmaceutical strategies to neutralize glioblastoma cells without damaging surrounding healthy cells is […]

Establishing nutritional attributes for plant-based meats and alternatives: Development of literature review and validation plan

Plant-based meat alternatives are made using plant sources and which mimic meat in their appearance and texture. Vegan and vegetarian consumers prefer these products to meat, but many more Canadians stand to benefit from them as they transition towards diets relying more heavily on plant-based foods for ethical, environmentally sustainability, and health reasons. Consequently, the […]

Studying the biodegradability of eco-friendly straws in prospective disposal environments

The existing use of plastics is overwhelming, but unfortunately, non-biodegradable plastic is majorly used, which results in waste accumulation and danger to marine life. Efforts are being made to produce biodegradable plastic products, such that it degrades substantially after disposal and does not hurt our environment. However, there are many biodegradable plastics, with variable biodegradation […]

New insights into immunomodulatory effects of Spirulina in vitro, and on local and systemic adaptation to high-intensity exercise in horses

Exercise induced inflammation and subsequently free radical production are necessary for exercise recovery. However, excess inflammation may be detrimental to exercise performance and can contribute to degenerative inflammatory conditions such as arthritis in equine athletes. Algae, specifically Spirulina, has the potential to reduce the risk of degenerative disease without impeding post-exercise recovery and adaptation. Spirulina […]

Control of plant fungal and bacterial diseases using photodynamic inactivation (PDI) compounds

The goal of the research is to develop and optimize in-planta assays for evaluating low-risk disease suppression compounds/formulations produced by Suncor and Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) techniques. The screening projects will be conducted in controlled environment growth facilities, with the goal of eventually moving the trials into a greenhouse environment. Current agriculturally important plant pathogens that […]
