Une partie des coûts de la justice est attribuable à des pratiques situées aux limites de la déontologie professionnelle : rapport collusoire entre praticiens, multiplication des dépenses douteuses, honoraires abusifs, exploitation de l’ignorance des justiciables, engagement dans des procédures qui auraient pu être évitées par un recours judiciaire à la Conférence de règlement amiable, introduction […]

The recent legalization of marijuana has sparked renewed interest in studying the health benefits of the non-psychoactive cannabinoids. Cannabidiol (CBO, 1, Figure 1) has emerged as a promising medicinal candidate due to its potential for the treatment of anxiety, and chronic pain. In 2018, the first CBD-containing drug, Epidio1ex, was approved by the FDA for […]

Extracting oil from the Athabasca oil sands generates large volumes of processed water that is stored in vast tailings ponds. Due to the accumulation of numerous organic compounds, this water needs to be monitored and eventually treated. Bioremediation is the use of bacteria to degrade the contaminants in the wastewater and is a low cost, […]

Manitoba’s 55 community foundations (CF) play a critical role in community development. These CFs are committed to building their community for generations to enjoy yet each are unique in their experiences and capacities. Many CFs capacities are stretched and they are pulled between advancing their organizational and operational capacities in order to plan for and […]

Non-palpable breast cancers, needing localization before removal, make approximately 60% of the diagnosed breast cancers. The gold standard for localizing includes implanting protruding wires or radioactive seeds in the lesion. The wires are not accurate, cause pain and discomfort to the patients, while the radioactive seeds warrant strict administrative and safety requirements. MOLLI Surgical Inc. […]

A new tendency, in the way of practicing and collecting data in the health related fields, has influenced a large development of non-invasive portable and wearable systems by companies specialized in biomechanical instrumentations. In human motion analysis, particularly in biomechanics, the use of inertial measurements units (IMUs) are frequently used in sports context such as […]

The overarching objective of this research project is to design, develop, and test, a reporting automation platform that is able to gather data (in the form of metrics, graphs, tables) from several security software and 3rd party tools, aggregate the data if needed, generate metrics, build reports and upload them to another tool with a […]

As Canada looks to transition to a clean energy system, reducing diesel use in remote communities presents a significant challenge. Despite financial assistance from the federal government, the business case for clean energy projects in remote communities continues to be less than ideal. Without government support for capital costs, renewable energy projects at present are […]

The purpose of this project is to understand what person-centered planning and care means to people labelled with intellectual disabilities experiencing care in the developmental services sector. If we are able to question labels of intellectual disability, celebrate body-mind difference; desire disability, neurodivergence, and disabled/neurodiverse futures, how will the western industrial complex of care exist […]

Balloons have potential benefits over stents for localised drug delivery. The activities in this proposal will aid the development of a dual balloon catheter system. By the end of the internship, the balloon catheter design will be completed and frozen in anticipation of pre-clinical studies. The gold standard for diagnosis of interstitial lung disease is […]

In spine research, a great effort is made to understand the various spinal conditions. Optima Health Solutions, a leading organization in spinal care and research, has been performing MAR Analysis to measure the Mean Axis of Rotation of joints in the cervical spine, to help better understand, treat, and prevent chronic neck pain in patients. […]

Cloud, which is no longer a future trend, has led to a paradigm shift in the design of security services. With so many dynamic features offered by cloud service providers, the assessment of potential threats, cloud vulnerabilities and software security concerns can help in securing cloud customers from inside and outside threat. In this research, […]
