Vent & Cover wants to develop in conjunction with UBC and UWO, an enclosure that can slip over electric baseboard heaters and create a safe-to-touch exterior while still allowing the heater to heat the room safely and effectively. The project will have 2 major components, the first of which is to develop an efficient thermal […]

Type II diabetes affects around 9% of the North-American population. While it may be reversed by a change of life style and diet, it can cause irrepairable damage if left untreated. Tests that involve taking multiple blood samples are usually administered to find out if a subject has, or is at risk of developing, type […]

Audits of rural acute center in Maidstone and Turtleford to determine true rates of hospital acquired infections; Audits of hospital acquired infections in North Battleford, Meadow Lake and Lloydminster, to validate present reporting procedure and provide recommendations based on collected data. These data will be assessed and analyzed. This will provide a good opportunity for […]

Climate change is having an affect all aspects of everyday life. In some regions, climate change could also have a negative impact on buildings. To help cope with these expected issues, we will be reviewing the Canadian masonry design standards in order to identify specific aspects of masonry construction that need special attention in their […]

The student intern will compile a report on the best practices available to developers for inclusion in a sustainable community development project. Additionally, the student intern will conduct a cost-benefit analysis as well as a feasibility analysis in order to determine the feasibility of the creation of a sustainable neighbourhood in London, Ontario. The best […]

Osteoarthritis is a major cause of disability in dogs. Today, the therapeutic role of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) as a potential treatment for immune and inflammatory disorders is well-defined. We are interested in exploring the immune-modulatory property of canine MSCs with the aim of exploiting it as a potential therapy in dogs with Elbow Dysplasia. […]

Le remblai minier en pâte cimenté (RMPC) est une pratique courante ayant de multiples avantages prouvés. Toutefois, le remblayage par RMPC est, désormais, confronté à diverses problématiques liées aux liants utilisés pour assurer sa cohésion : il s’agit surtout de leurs coûts, du caractère polluant de leurs procédés de fabrication et des coûts additionnels pour […]

De nombreuses ONGs implantent des plans éducatifs dans des pays en voie de développement. Habituellement, des indicateurs de l’atteinte des objectifs sont proposés afin d’évaluer les retombées directes du projet. Mais qu’en est-il des retombées indirectes auprès des populations impliquées dans le projet? Comment utilisent-elles les nouveaux apprentissages dans les autres domaines de leur vie? […]

The proposed investigation will combine the petrographic and geochemical techniques to better understand the geochemistry of the Martin Point slope carbonates in comparison with their modern biotic and abiotic counterparts to evaluate the degree of preservation of primary geochemical, a cornerstone of building reliable interpretations. This work is beneficial from a planning and costing exercise […]

L’entérocolite nécrosante (NEC) est la plus commune et la plus meurtrière des maladies inflammatoires de l’intestin. Elle affecte 5 à 10 % des enfants prématurés ayant un poids inférieur à 1500 g. Le lait maternel constitue l’approche la plus efficace pour prévenir ou traiter la NEC. En effet, il a été montré que l’alimentation avec […]

The goal of the project is to develop relationships between academic and non-academic partners to gain insight and knowledge that can be used to inform the Athletes Embodied program. This initial partnership is the first step in establishing an effective and feasible program to reduce body image concerns in girls’ sport, enhance sport experiences, and […]

L’etude sera realisee sur la caracterisation des residus miniers, des sols, des sediments, des eaux et de I’air (associe aux poussieres) effectuant un suivi spatiotemporel par la speciation physique des elements-traces metalliques (Solubilite et adsorption des elements dans Ie sol) et la speciation chimique des elements-traces metalliques ( Solubilite des elements dans I’eau, liens des […]
