In recent years, the task of operating an agricultural tractor has changed in large part due to the introduction of new technologies. Perhaps the greatest change is related to the introduction of auto-steer technology that negates the requirement to constantly have one’s hands on the steering wheel of the tractor. The current configuration of the […]

Excess water in the road base can lead to damage to roads from several mechanisms including decreasing stiffness of road base, freeze-thaw cycles, and swelling/shrinking of subgrades in expansive soils. Reducing the time that a pavement system is saturated is known to increase the lifespan of roads. Recent innovative geosynthetic products can further remove water […]

The objective of this project is to provide a research report synthesizing Canadian research that directly relates to Learning Disabilities (LD). This project will benefit Canadians as it will provide stakeholders who support individuals with LD with easy access to information. Easy access to recent research will help to educate Canadians on a variety of […]

The increasing demand for low-carbon energy has begun to amplify the development and usage of nuclear power. However, the generated nuclear waste is radiotoxic mainly due to the presence of heavy nuclei, such as actinides along with other fission products. This rises the need for selective remediation and storage of all radioactive actinides using non-toxic […]

Weeds can adapt to diverse crop management practices altering their growth, phenology (timing of developmental events such as emergence, flowering, seed production etc), and seed persistence (seed viability and dormancy). Managing herbicide resistance in weeds with integrated weed management and reducing greenhouse gas emissions with integrated nutrient management are becoming the two most important crop […]

Nowadays, the electrical systems have thousands of nodes. To simulate this kind of systems electromagnetic transient programs (EMTP) are often used. One of the widely used commercial programs available is PSCAD, which can simulate large networks. However, these kinds of systems could impose an important computational burden, and use a considerable amount of time to […]

In this project a driving simulator in virtual reality will be designed and developed, in which a user can drive a virtual vehicle in a country road with incoming cars and traffic lights and possibly some animals crossing the road. The users will learn the path to reach a destination through the trial and then […]

This proposal focuses on determining whether post-COVID-19 and sex influence the integrative dynamic autonomic, cardiovascular, respiratory, and muscle oxygenation regulation during postural transitions and acute exercise. COVID-19 is considered an inflammatory storm affecting many physiological systems, especially older adults. COVID-19 may impact these dynamic integrative responses, compromising homeostatic regulation, rapid physiological adjustments, and exercise capacity. […]

Many of St.Amant’s services are shifting to provide the most inclusive, supportive, community-based services with the intention of enhancing health, accessing to healthcare, and improving the quality of life of persons supported and that of their families and caregivers. As part of its vision statement, St.Amant is supporting a number of persons with intellectual and […]

Livestock manure represent a significant source of GHG emissions in agriculture section of Canada. This project aims to assess the effectiveness of a manure additive in reducing N20 and CH4 emissions during the storage of liquid hog manure, as well as the carry-on effect on soil GHG emissions after the additive-treated manure being applied to […]

Inner-city organizations in Winnipeg have long called for transformation of the policies and practices that created injustice for inner-city residents. This year’s State of the Inner City report uses precedent studies to identify funding models that foreground community leadership, and knowledge translation and community development events to celebrate the people and community organizations of the […]

Brain metastasis of breast cancer has a very poor prognosis in patients. Treatment options are limited because the blood-brain-barrier prevents drugs from entering the brain. Importantly, we are lacking information on how brain cells are supporting the growth of metastatic breast cancer cells. Using HER2-positive breast cancer cells isolated from a patient brain metastasis the […]
