Violacein is a molecule naturally produced in some bacteria such as Chromobacterium violaceum. It has been shown that violacein has promising antibiotic, anti-tumor proliferation, anti-leishmanial and anti-fungal properties. Violacein is commercially available. However, it is very expensive. The objective of this proposed research study is to measure the effects of violacein produced by Escherichia coli […]

The following proposal aims to research and develop Net Zero Carbon sustainable design strategies for a chalet, serving as a pioneering study to inform broader net-zero carbon residential developments in Montreal. It is motivated by Canada’s goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. One intern will work with PLAPROS INC., under the supervision […]

Currently, embryo implantation success rates in in vitro fertilization (IVF) are low, partly due to subjective and invasive tests. An assay that can quantify embryo potential while preserving its integrity is necessary. Small RNA sequences, microRNAs (miRNAs), are promising, quantifiable, and non-intrusive markers of developmental potential in embryos. Due to ethical concerns with human embryos […]

The proposed research project aims to develop accurate and user-friendly models to forecast daily streamflow for the Oldman River in Alberta. This project will involve using advanced machine learning methods, such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), to improve the reliability of streamflow predictions. By enhancing the […]

Buildings globally play a substantial role in energy consumption, representing more than 30% of the total energy demand. However, this energy usage is hindered by a lack of efficiency in HVAC systems, insufficient insulation, and the continuous need for fresh air, resulting in approximately 30% of this energy being wasted. Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) play […]

Imaginez un monde dans lequel vous seriez les acteurs du contenu audiovisuel. Un monde dans lequel votre avis aurait un réel impact sur vos émissions préférées. Ce projet va dans ce sens puisqu’il tente de créer une réelle connexion entre les diffuseurs et les téléspectateurs. L’interactivité est donc de mise, tentant de mettre l’utilisateur au […]

C-CORE and Memorial University have teamed to supervised the development of a 3U CubeSat called MUNStar-1. The CubeSat is an earth observation satellite containing a scientific payload for the measurement of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Reflectometry (GNSS-R) signals. The satellite will measure a number of ocean parameters to help understand climate change impacts, particularly […]

This project aims to design, prototype, and characterize high-speed electronic circuit boards to enhance quantum photonic networking systems. In particular, it aims to meet the strict, emerging demands of quantum telecommunications with high-speed, low-jitter, low-phase noise electronics working at the performance limits of mass-producible electronics. Ki3 Photonics specializes in developing state-of-the-art systems for quantum networking, […]

“That’s My Jam: Understanding the Value of Quick Game Prototyping” will study how emerging game developers use game jams as a springboard for their professional practice. Our primary research question is: what challenges do game jammers face when transforming prototype games into commercial products, ad-hoc groups into indie development teams, and compact jam timelines into […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW.

Bagged salads have been linked to foodborne illness outbreaks implicating Salmonella, E coli and Listeria. It was commonly believed that the post-harvest washing applied prior to bagging would remove field-acquired contamination. However, through various lines of research has illustrated that washing can result in cross-contamination of produce rather than decontamination. The majority of research performed […]

Micro Data Videos (MDVs) are short videos, typically under one minute in length, that incorporate data visualizations to tell compelling, data-driven stories. In today’s fast-paced world and with increasingly shorter attention spans, MDVs have become a highly popular format for disseminating data-based information. Their strength lies in the ability to present factual data to the […]
