Biological manufacturers are now starting to make chemicals and biological products (like proteins) by growing large amounts of microorganisms like bacteria or algae. One major quality control step in the manufacturing process is to check the genetic sequences of these microorganisms because they often not correctly made. This is due to the biological method for […]

Intelligent Query and Learning System (IQLS) is a web application that offers a platform for a business owner, product seller, service provider, doctor, engineer or anyone with a goal of providing service to their client or audience. Using this platform, an individual can train the system with information related to their business, service, or product, […]

Minimally invasive treatments have greatly changed the clinical landscape for a variety of disorders. A catheter is navigated through the body to the target site where a multitude of interventions can be performed, including drug delivery and therapeutic embolization and in the near future delivery of tissue-engineered constructs. However, there are still limitations for treatment […]

This investigation will examine real-world potential Canadian hidden champions through a survey to gain further insight into what characteristics enable hidden champions to thrive. This survey will also expose a need for a more thorough case study (titled “A case study on Hidden Champions in North America, Europe and Asia) to examine the nuances of […]

Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) is a technique by which the environmental impacts are minimized while efficiency is increased. However, these aquaculture activities can put a strain on their surrounding environment, as operations encroach on valuable wetland areas, act as a stressor on local water resources, and effluent waste can increase the concentrations of pollutants in […]

Open science is the concept of freely sharing data to the public. With large-scale data becoming more easily accessible to everyone, it is important to create a platform where the public can visit to analyze and interpret data. And although open science increases the accessibility of data and reports to the public, it does not […]

Our goal is to research, develop and commercialize an advanced biosensor that detects many different pathogen infections and immunity for diseases such as COVID-19. We are using a new sensor technology realized with semiconductor manufacturing technology (silicon photonics) and integrated optics and electronics. Our hope is that our sensors can provide answers to individuals, to […]

The proposed research aims to demonstrate the performance of effective, non-proprietary moment connections for wide-flange (W-) beams to rectangular hollow section (RHS) columns in limited-ductility (Type LD) moment resisting frames (MRFs) that are easy and cost-effective to fabricate, handle, and erect. Two W-beam-to-RHS column moment connection prototypes will be developed and tested, in duplicate, at […]

Rapidly diversifying technologies are driving demand for power supplies that can meet a wider range of and more intermittent power needs. Main drivers include transportation, renewable energy grid connections, energy storage, and consumer electronics. Tesla has recently purchased a top supercapacitor company, Maxwell Technologies, to streamline these advancements to product integration. Supercapacitors are an important […]

The objective of the research is to develop a method for and pilot test the remediation of 3,000 tonnes of arsenic trioxide contaminated soils with concentrations up to 20,000mg/kg. Our project aims to research and develop an efficient and safe methodology of soil washing to remove the arsenic from soil, however other methods would be […]

The lack of scientific data on the potential effects of instream tidal power extraction on migratory fishes is delaying the decision-making process on a technology that shows promise for reducing carbon emissions, and for which Canada could become a global leader in the production of infrastructure. It remains unclear if fishes that occupy Canada’s leading […]

Flying air vehicles, most commonly referred to as “drones” come in many different forms. The type of drone required to accomplish a task is dependent on the mission profile. Overcoming the barriers towards fully autonomous operations requires addressing the concerns and complying with the requirements of regulators. The objective of the research is to identify […]
