While significant progress has been made in the treatment of certain cancers, many cancers including acute myeloid leukemia and brain cancers, remain largely untreatable. We are developing unique small molecule-based synthetic therapies, which are expected to deliver more effective and less toxic therapies aggressive cancers.

Under Ontario’s regulations, facilities generating thousands of tonnes of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per year must report their emissions, and industries are motivated to reduce GHGs through ‘Cap-and-Trade’ regulations. Based on the Power-to-gas concept, this research will develop a techno-economic-environmental model for hydrogen-based energy systems that include electricity from the utility grid and distributed renewable […]

Due to increasing miniaturization, future systems will be made of components that are more energy efficient and at the same time more sensitive to external radiation. To ensure that future systems remain protected against cosmic radiation and single events, aircraft and flight systems manufacturers must collect in-flight data for cosmic radiations and develop a global […]

The goal of this project is to explore the use of log analytics and machine/deep learning techniques to improve Ubisoft operational intelligence. Logs contain a wealth of information, but often hindered by the lack of best practices, tools, and processes. Despite the importance of logging, the area has not evolved much over the years. At […]

Providence Healthcare has established a reputation as one of the leading centres for cardiovascular research and treatment in Canada. Providence Healthcare and AstraZeneca, a research-based pharrnaceutical company, are interested in furthering science and irnprove patient outcomes. The purpose of this study is to determine the best method of long term follow up for patients with […]

The diagnosis of HIV & AIDS complicates sexual activity. Physiological and psycho-social factors such as body image, fear of rejection, and stigma can lead to shame and isolation. The purpose of the present study is to gain a greater understanding of the range of barriers to sexual intimacy that persons living with HIV and AIDS […]

La mine Goldex est une mine souterraine en cours d’exploitation par l’entreprise Agnico Eagle. En 2015, un nouveau projet d’extraction a été développé, la zone Deep 1, dont la production a débuté en juillet 2017. Actuellement, des forages d’exploration sont en cours dans une nouvelle zone, la zone Sud. Le minerai provenant de ces zones […]

This proposal presents two parallel research projects to develop pattern recognition algorithms using a relatively new technology, Electrovestibulography (EVestGTM)1 for objectively and accurately effect of confounding depression on concussion both when used as a diagnostic tool and also as a treatment recovery tool. EVestG signals are recorded painlessly and non-invasively from the external ear in […]

À la sortie d’un jeu vidéo en ligne, une communauté s’organise autour du jeu, créant une culture, des pratiques de jeu, des attentes et des formes d’appropriation qui peuvent diverger des intentions initiales du développeur du jeu, mais qui, pourtant, ont des effets majeurs sur le succès ou non d’un jeu. L’objectif principal de ce […]

The catalytic CO2 reforming process provides a sequestration alternative that holds promise for a viable solution for dealing with industrial gaseous effluents containing greenhouse gases CH4 and CO2. The process converts these gases to syngas (CO and H2) which can be used for synthesis for high value chemicals. The catalyst for the dry reforming process […]

Reusable plastic crates (RPC’s) are being adopted by the food industry due to the perceived benefits of reduced waste (i.e. paper board), economics and sustainability. However, by reusing crates there is a possibility of distributing contamination from one user to the next if the RPC’s are not sanitized after leaving retailer. Evidence collected over the […]

In the backcountry, the best powder skiing can be found in terrain that is susceptible to snow avalanches. Travelers are responsible for managing this threat by choosing terrain that will minimize this threat, and they must strike a balance between minimizing risk and finding an enjoyable skiing experience. Perception plays a fundamental role when selecting […]
