Many major municipalities rely on ultraviolet (UV) disinfection of their drinking water and wastewater to protect their citizens and the environment. The novel coronavirus, Covid19, has been detected in water, and may be transmitted by improperly treated wastewater and drinking water. It is important that the sensitivity of Covid19 to UV be measured, in order […]

Our project aims to design and develop COVID19 vaccines engineered from viruses that infect bacterial cells only. SARS-CoV2 pathogenic components have been identified and modified to develop the vaccine. Although these components are pathogenic in nature, they are modified to pose no harm. The vaccine is designed to be administered intranasally, where it relocates to […]

7.2. Public Project Overview: The project will develop an online tool to quantify the economic return on investment resulting from improvements in public health attributed to investments in urban greenspaces. The tool will focus on three pathways: improvements in physical health, improvements in mental health and health benefits associated with improved climate resiliency. The tool […]

The proposed internship will take place in the TRANSFORM Research Hub located at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. The TRANSFORM Project comprises a global network of researchers committed to building the capacity of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in adopting truly sustainable business practices. The primary objective of this internship will be to […]

Driven by economic, technical and environmental reasons, the energy sector is moving into an era where Distributed Generation (DG) will meet a large segment of increasing electrical energy demand. Local distribution companies are required to accept a given percentage of customer-owned renewable DG units in their system. Generally, DG introduces new possibilities such as shaving […]

The objective is to develop an in-line Process Analytical Technology (PAT) tool to monitor viability and biomass levels at the fermentation stage bacterial organisms. The Master student will be engaged in the development of the PAT tool for deployment into a state-of-the-art vaccine manufacturing facility. The student will use benchtop tools such as flow cytometry […]

Online social networks model and operate primarily on explicit relationships between people. However, many high-value social activities are not mediated by relationships of this kind. Instead, people who may not know each other nonetheless co-ordinate their activities because they attend to similar cues in their cultural environment. This research work aims at exploring ways to […]

The legal profession, like many professions within the global economy, is undergoing significant change with advances in innovation and technologies and as geo-political and economic shifts are underway. As the only association representing the legal profession across the country, but also active in the global economy through various initiatives including international projects supported by partners […]

A true blind party is a service provider that does not have access to unencrypted data of its clients. We note that, in such an environment, the client must securely maintain the many keys that may be required for the files. In addition, if there are collaborating organizations, the client must securely deliver the appropriate […]

The successful development of new drug formulations, delivery vehicles, and devices for the eye requires testing in physiologically relevant in vitro eye models. The use of cell tissue culture plates provides a good model for testing toxicity, but they lack some of the important factors present on the eye. There are microfluidic chips that have […]

Carbon Upcycling Technologies Inc. is a technological research and development company in Calgary. They chemically adsorb carbon dioxide emissions into carbon-based materials, such as graphitic nanoplates and graphene oxide, and they commercialized the technology. Recently, extending graphene-based materials into drug delivery applications is attracted their attention. However, specific targeting and intracellular trafficking are the most […]
