The spectral composition of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) reportedly results in higher crop yield and reduced thermal damage to plants. Given that the stomata response represents a link between the plant and the outside environment, exploring the relationship between photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, and transpiration is paramount. This study will investigate the photosynthetic efficiency and stomatal conductance […]

A refrigerant leak is one of the major contributors of commercial refrigeration unexpected breakdowns. Conventional methods of leak detection using physical sensors are expensive, have limited capability of square footage coverage, and incapable of detecting slow and progressive refrigerant leaks. Accordingly, the development of a smart leak detection system without the need to include additional […]

Efficiency of irrigation practices will become increasingly critical to both economic performance for agricultural businesses and environmental sustainability. Precision irrigation allows for reductions in resource consumption and waste products released to the environment as well as bolsters the ability for a crop-producing business to maintain consistent-market-quality production at the lowest possible cost. The efficacy or […]

Using qualitative research methods, including in-depth interviews and a facilitated workshop, the project explores the educational transition experiences of older refugee-background youth (ORBY) resettled in rural areas of Nova Scotia. Research indicates that resettled ORBY face challenges completing high school and post-secondary programs, explained as influenced by duration of school disruptions, addressing family economic need, […]

Le Pôle d’économie sociale de la Vallée-du-Haut-Saint Laurent entreprend une étude approfondie des défis territoriaux en évaluant les réponses potentielles par l’économie sociale, en mettant l’accent sur le partage des ressources. L’objectif principal est d’explorer comment l’économie sociale peut répondre aux divers modes de partage des ressources au sein des entreprises d’économie sociale. Cette initiative […]

Modern data analysis tasks often face challenges of high dimension and thus nonlinear dimension reduction techniques emerge as a way to construct maps from high dimensional data to their corresponding low dimensional representations. Finding such low dimensional representations of high dimensional data is beneficial in several aspects. This saves space and processing time. More importantly, […]

This project aims to create advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help scientists and doctors better understand and treat severe lung conditions, like acute lung injury (ALI). ALI is a serious condition that can lead to breathing problems and is often difficult to study because the current methods for analyzing lung tissue are time-consuming and […]

STEMCELL Technologies supports the research of Canadian and international scientists (academic, industrial, clinical) by supplying labs with research tools to investigate research questions tied to some of the most pressing health care needs faced by the Canadian community. STEMCELL’s high quality standards in the cell and biomolecule isolation market are continuously driving the company to […]

FONEX Data System Inc. is developing solutions to address the challenges that telecommunication service providers face in upgrading their access networks to sustain the growth in data traffic. A key component of these solutions is the development of a low-cost, widely tunable external cavity laser (ECL) utilizing Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) technology. A significant advantage […]

Le projet de recherche s’intéresse à la problématique de la gestion des eaux pluviales dans l’arrondissement Ahuntsic – Cartierville à Montréal, accentué par l’augmentation des événements de précipitation extrêmes liés aux changements climatiques. Les infrastructures de drainage vieillissantes et les conceptions de l’époque rendent le réseau particulièrement vulnérable. Pour remédier à ces problèmes, deux principales […]

We will continue work on an inexpensive device developed for water column monitoring, using technology in development by Kinsol Research. The overall research project currently being undertaken is to create a device that can autonomously descend through a column of water to pre-set depths, gather measurements from various sensors (e.g. temperature and light level) during […]

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a slowly progressive chronic condition that is associated with aging and is characterized as joint pain. Individuals with early-stage OA usually attempt to treat their OA with pain medication therefore Alberta pharmacists can be seen as a first point of contact for these individuals to access appropriate care. Education, self-management, and exercise […]
