Inter-tissue adhesions cause significant complications following veterinary surgery of domesticated animals. Fucoidans are natural, negatively charged, carbohydrate polymers (polysaccharides) from seaweeds that have been successfully developed and commercialized for reducing such adhesions, thereby improving surgical outcomes. Currently, the inherent variability in the molecular size and composition of native fucoidans extracted from seaweed presents a significant […]

Fuel cells operated vehicles are most attractive alternative to current gasoline base vehicles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect the environment. Fuel cells used Hydrogen as fuel and therefore it is need to be stored on-board. Due to light weight of hydrogen special storage mechanism is necessary to store the adequate quantity. All available […]

Acadian Seaplants Limited, a marine biotechnology company, manufactures liquid and powdered Ascophyllum nodosum extract plant biostimulants. To maintain the leadership in plant biostimulants ASL has embarked on developing new A. nodosum based biostimulatns. This […]

QUATERNION has partnered with BOEING USA on a flight validation and evaluation program using Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) to identify the operational system that replaces the 900MHz Autopilot Whip Antenna, integration of the printed antenna system into the UAS and related connectorization, fiber optic and strain gauge instrumentation in support of the shape prediction system […]

With every surgery, there is always a risk that a post-operative complication could occur. NERv Technology Inc. is developing a disruptive solution to post-operative complications. NERv is developing an implantable biochip with multiple biosensors capable of detecting post-operative complications in real-time. NERv has developed a macro-prototype capable of detecting internal bleeding and the leakage of […]

Over the past three decades, there have been drastic declines in voter turnout and traditional political participation across North America, particularly among younger demographics. As young people increasingly move away from institutionally-driven practices, political participation is no longer only defined by voting in elections, volunteering with civic associations and town hall meetings but increasingly manifests […]

Le projet de recherche proposé pour ce doctorat porte principalement sur l’industrie 4.0. Étant une toute nouvelle tendance industrielle, développée en Allemagne depuis moins de 5 ans, les entreprises et les académiques s’y attardent de plus en plus. L’industrie 4.0 représente la 4ème révolution industrielle. Elle représente la connectivité entre toutes les parties d’un système, […]

There are several platforms that allow users to share real time video with the public. However, these platforms lack the tools that would allow creative professionals to create artistic video compositions extemporaneously. Our prior research assessed the potential for artistic expression within live video broadcasting by developing and integrating new creative tools within the Generate […]

The agriculture sector is one of the major pillars in the Canadian economy based in cereal, pastureland for cattle, and biofuel (wheat, canola and barley), and was estimated to be a $7 billion industry in 2015 in Alberta. It is also one of the most economically risky activities since the value of the yield is […]

To improve mosquito control and public planning, we will identify places and times that mosquitoes are likely to flourish. A local mosquito control company, Culex Enviornmental Ltd., has been counting and identifying species of mosquito larvae across Metro Vancouver for more than 10 years. We will use their valuable data to create maps of potential […]

Ce projet a pour but de proposer aux exploitants des centrales hydroélectriques d’Hydro-Québec un modèle d’estimation et de prédiction de la dégradation de leurs turbines hydrauliques. Celui-ci pourra être régulièrement mis à jour en se basant sur des inspections planifiées et réalisées de façon logique. L’estimation de la dégradation des systèmes est essentielle à la […]

Embroidery is a very popular art and a method of customization in the fashion industry. The method of embroidery has changed little since the advent of programmable sewing machines in the 20th century. Today, there is high demand for mass customization: consumers want their personalized embroidery patterns on their clothing. Technology already allows consumers to […]
