Although rare, industrial facilities can suffer from minor to catastrophic failures, commonly referred to as loss of primary containment (LOPC), which can result in the release of hazardous gases and/or liquids. In order to protect the safety of the public, companies must provide a means of mitigating the potential damage to people and the environment. […]

This research will focus on the design of 5G networks to provide for future wireless services include the use cases of Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC), and Ultra-reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC), and application area use cases such as Smart City, Smart Home/In-building, Augmented Reality, Self-Driving Cars, etc. 5G Technology […]

The MEMBER’S ONLINE MAPPING PROJECT will consist of the research and development of a training program for Workman Arts members, which will give these members education and empowerment in the utilization of social networking tools such as: blogs, twitter, event pages on facebook, linkedin, foursquare, etc. The overseeing intern will also be responsible for the […]

Community stewardship is an emerging paradigm in income generation activities for marginalized populations. Drawing on residents with lived experience, stewardship creates employment through utilizing local-residents as custodians in parks, plazas and other public spaces. In order to fully develop these opportunities a common curriculum needs to be developed. This training program will allow Downtown Eastside […]

La recherche proposée vise le développement d’outils de contrôle qualité des peaux reconstruites par génie tissulaire en déterminant leur fonctionnalité, leur structure et leurs propriétés mécaniques. Trois techniques seront investiguées, mesure de la résistance mécanique lors du détachement des couches derme/épiderme, la tomographie optique cohérente et l’imagerie thermodynamique active. Ces techniques de mesures permettront d’accélérer […]

Ecopak/ASIO souhaite développer un nouveau système d’éclairage intelligent pour véhicules s’adaptant à divers types de conditions de conduite tels que des véhicules venant en sens inverse (phare avant), véhicules venant dans le même sens (phares rouges), éblouissement par réflexion sur la neige et conditions de blizzard tout en respectant le dimensionnel et le budget d’une […]

This project sets out to learn how young Afro-Caribbean Black (ACB) men are supported when they utilize Youth Employment Training Programs (YETP). The study will collect information, based on the lived experiences of the young men, while also taking into account of the perspectives of YETP coordinators, Employers who work with YETP, and government and […]

When storing and retrieving large quantities of aerial surveillance video to be used as evidence, it must be possible to validate video as authentic without relying on secret knowledge. Part of the solution to this problem involves a novel combination of cryptography techniques used in blockchains and elsewhere together with computer filesystems, allowing data to […]

Available drugs to treat schizophrenia are partially effective in controlling symptoms and have significant side-effect Iiabiltv. We want to explore the potential of PDE1 OA inhibitors as effective and safe antipsychotic drugs using preclinical models established in academic supervisor’s laboratory. The compounds will be provided by Paraza Pharma, who will be better informed about the […]

The proposed research investigates an opportunity of developing renewable bio-based diesel fuel as an alternative to petroleum based fuel to lower the emission of greenhouse gases. High temperature pyrolysis of wood chips will be investigated in multi-stage pyrolysis and fluidized bed system and the quality of liquid oil will be compared for diesel substitution.

Glioblastoma (GBM), the most common and deadly form of primary brain cancer in adults. After diagnosis, GBM patients undergo standard therapy, including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Unfortunately, disease relapse is inevitable and patients face a median survival of less than 15 months. A small population of tumor cells, known as brain tumor initiating cells […]

The proposed project investigates the diagenesis of the lowermost Port au Port carbonates in Western Newfoundland. Few earlier studies suggested that the carbonates vary from lime mudstones of low energy to grainstones and rudstones of high energy shallow-shelf settings. The study will allow the reconstruction of full diagenetic history of the basin and factors that […]
