Currently, drug delivery systems used in clinical applications are limited to liposome and polymer-based systems. Although these methods have been shown to be sufficient for most applications, they have limited targeting of specific areas in the body and have a low effectiveness for efficient drug administration. To compensate, higher and multiple dosages are required, drastically […]

Composite structures are very popular in industries due to their lightweight and high strength. They degrade and cause huge economic losses or even serious disasters. Structure health monitoring has a great significance in the operation and maintenance of industrial assets. Current commercial software for structural health monitoring uses traditional and common methods which are only […]

3D concrete printing and the digital design processes associated with this technology are developing quickly across the world, both in academia and in practice, moving from the realm of the artisan to the early stages of automated manufacturing. How do architects engage this emerging new field that combines fabrication technologies with material in their design […]

The proposed project will be a collaboration between the Ottawa (ON) based integrated circuit (IC) company, Power Integrations Inc. and RIGA lab at University of Manitoba. The objective is to reduce power losses and meet international industrial standards for Power Factor Correctors. The result of this research project will assist the company to identify the […]

The Town of Altona is interested in reusing the wastewater effluent discharged from its aerated lagoons for irrigation or chemical treatment. The current wastewater effluent will be tested and its characteristics determined. Advanced wastewater treatment processes will be investigated to treat the aerated lagoon effluent, and the suitable process able to meet the federal and […]

Cancer is a devastating disease known to be treated with chemicals causing severe side effects in the advanced stages of the disease. Among these chemicals are a group of antibiotics, called anthracyclines, used to treat a variety of cancers, including breast cancer (BC). Doxorubicin, one of the preferred anthracyclines used in BC treatment, is particularly […]

Objectives: Manitoba Hydro Telecom (MHT) has proposed the development of a state-of-the-art optical communication network using Reconfigurable Optical Add Drop Multiplexers (ROADM) employing Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM). MHT will use ROADMs compliant with currently established industry standards such as ITU G.709 and G.8032. ROADMs with WDM methods with 50 GHz channel spacing enable up to […]

More and more small and medium enterprises these days rely on continuous cash flow for the survival of their business. Current pandemic has made their survival with reduced business activities worse by relying on government support and brought down many businesses creating domino effect of joblessness and adverse economic impacts. The overall goal of this […]

Currently, a gap exists between basic and applied research in Streamlined Health Care Delivery. Using AI, and QDoc software we would like to work closely in collaboration with the researchers to develop AI tools that work on Streamlining the Primary Care between Physician and Patient. To be able to do that, it requires access to […]

This research project will examine the diets of two geographically separate populations of Arctic char in proximity to the communities of Rankin Inlet and Naujaat, Nunavut. Using methods of stomach content, stable isotope, and highly branched isoprenoid analysis, we will determine whether the diets differ between the two separate populations. In addition, we will explore […]

As a reinsurer, the partner organization backs risky and/or high face-value policies that are otherwise detrimental to insurance companies to underwrite. However, currently the available information on the policyholder is based on prior information stored in the company databases and on previous policies held or claims administered and/or what is presented on the forms provided […]

This project is related to #IT24812 and this is phase 2 of that project. After the success of my first BSI project with the Higher Learning Foundation (HLF), we have decided to continue applying for the program to expand the positive impact we have on the mental well-being of our community. HLF is a registered […]
