The proposed project will help the Family Support Institute of BC (FSI) improve how they reach and support families from diverse backgrounds, like Indigenous communities and newcomers, who care for children with disabilities. By studying FSI’s current efforts—such as using translators and creating Indigenous-led mentorship programs—the research aims to discover effective strategies for making peer […]

Les personnes en situation de handicap affichent des taux d’emploi significativement moins élevés que celles sans incapacité; seulement 59% des adultes en âge de travailler ayant une incapacité occupent un emploi comparativement à 80% chez ceux et celles sans incapacité. Le travail étant un important vecteur de participation sociale, il importe d’identifier les éléments qui […]

Le projet de recherche entrepris par les stagiaires vise à développer un système automatisé capable de nettoyer, désinfecter et sécher jusqu’à 2400 paires de chaussures par semaine, quel que soit leur type ou leur matériau. Ce projet répond à un besoin crucial dans l’industrie de la seconde main : réduire le nombre de chaussures jetées […]

Dans un contexte de changements climatiques, les modèles prévoient une augmentation de la fréquence et de l’intensité des sécheresses estivales. Or le manque d’eau peut gravement affecter la croissance et la survie des arbres, et donc diminuer leur productivité. L’objectif de cette étude est de tester la capacité de résistance de jeunes arbres à un […]

Lagoons are the most popular wastewater treatment technology in Canada with hundreds of installations across the country. Most of these systems will require upgrades in order to increase their treatment capacity or to comply with new regulations such as the Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations registered by the Government of Canada. Bionest is developing at the […]

The project will identify and then collate information from a variety of ecological, arboreal, and forestry history sources which will provide foundational documentation about the Atlantic Coast Arboretum Catchment Area, that in turn will be used create an arcsGIS publicly accessible storymap, as well as providing a comprehensive guide to the species to be included […]

Traffic danger is a serious consideration not only because it causes death and severe injury, but also as a barrier to independent travel by children. A key local destination that nearly all children attend are schools, which results in a concentration of children going to these places often when adults are heading out for work […]

MixGenius works on automated musical production by real-time musical genre detection. High accuracy of genre detection for a variety of sub-genres is required for quality production and has yet to be achieved. The project involves researching available real-time high-accuracy musical genre detection methods and improving upon them, extracting each genre’s audio features, calibrating the algorithm […]

Our research project aims to preserve the post-thaw viability and functionality of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from equine cord blood (eCB-MSCs). The project addresses the challenge posed by asynchronous culture paired with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-based cryopreservation, which may lead to cryoinjury, batch variability, and reduced therapeutic effectiveness. By investigating a novel DMSO-free cryoprotective agent […]
