Hollow-core Extruder Auger Metallurgy

The proposed project aims to develop a reproducible recipe for producing concrete augers that meet current expectations for wear performance and longevity. The project involves structural characterization of the hard matrix, particularly, the distribution and morphology of martensite, and the hardening particles, including various carbides embedded in such matrix. The hardness of different regions will […]

Circular Food Innovation Lab II

Wasted food – the result of a linear pattern of producing, under-consuming and disposing of food – is a pervasive problem globally and in Canada, where 58% of the food produced is wasted each year: that’s 11.17 million tonnes of edible food at a value of $49.46 billion (Varney, 2021). Wasted food is a complex […]

Use of Metakaolin as Alternative Supplementary Cementitious Materials in 3D Printing of Concrete

3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) could potentially increase the efficiency of construction projects and profitability. However, 3DCP typically mixes contain high volume of paste which implies high volume of binder. The expeditious development of 3DCP requires exploring other prospective and sustainable mixes besides the use of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) based mixes to meet the high-volume […]

Exploring distinctions in microbial spatial distribution in patients with active and quiescent Crohn’s disease

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition affecting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, characterised by periods of remission and flare-ups. The two main types of IBD are Crohn’s disease (CD), which can affect any part of the GI tract, and ulcerative colitis, which affects the colon. Predicting flare-ups and choosing the best treatments are major […]
