Micro- and nanoplastic (MP/NP) pollution is a pressing global issue resulting from the widespread use of plastics. These minute particles, present in everyday products, accumulate in the environment, even being detected in infant feces and blood. Addressing this concern is paramount, with wastewater treatment processes (WWTPs) playing a pivotal role. However, conventional WWTPs encounter challenges […]

L’objectif de ce projet de recherche consiste à comprendre comment les entreprises coconstruisent un plan de déplacement en harmonisant des sous-objectifs organisationnels et des besoins sociétaux. Nous souhaitons ainsi étudier le phénomène à travers lequel une entreprise devient une « institution de la mobilité durable », un véhicule permettant la réalisation de thématiques sociétales de […]

When cancer grows, tumors create a microenvironment around them, the TME or tumor microenvironment. This acts as a force field around cancer cells that blunts the immune system and allows cancer to escape its surveillance. At Modulari-T we have developed a way to program the immune system to recognize and kill cancer cells which we […]

Recommender systems are artificial intelligences that, as their name would suggest, make recommendations based on provided inputs. For example, recommending jobs a person can apply to based on their resumes. Existing research on recommender systems in the Job and Education domains have focused on a single domain. Our research focuses on bridging the gap between […]

The objective of this investigation is to systematically quantify and compare the hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility of austempered (bainitic) steels to that of standard quenched and tempered (martensitic) steels used for manufacturing high strength mechanical fasteners. It has been shown that correctly high strength bainitic steels exhibit measurably superior ductility and toughness as compared to martensitic […]

Companies can realize the cost-saving benefits of having access to large amounts of data provided they have digital tools that allow efficient and accurate extraction of information from the dataset. The goal of this project is to conduct the research required for machine learning algorithms to provide reliable engineering predictions for industrial applications. To achieve […]

Heart Lake Road (Brampton, Ontario) bisects a Provincially Significant Wetland. Increases in traffic volumes on the road have led to large numbers of road kill during the spring migration. The TRCA has been monitoring the road kill for two years and has found that thousands of frogs and toads as well as hundreds of turtles, […]

Sleep is a central function of many species, and is studied widely in neurophysiology and computational neuroscience, yet its underlying mechanisms remain elusive. The common method for recording brain activity during sleep is polysomnography (PSG) which is expensive to operate and can prove to be heavy and bothersome for the recording subjects. In recent years, […]

A new minor ailment prescribing service was recently launched in Ontario community pharmacies to relieve healthcare system strain. Five of the nineteen minor ailments are skin-related. Importantly, prescriptions for topical skin disease treatment vary widely and constitute a major reason for visits to primary care. Quality prescribing in this area improves outcomes and reduces healthcare […]

Les ressources en eau subissent des pressions croissantes mondialement en raison du changement climatique, de l’agriculture intensive et de la croissance démographique. D’ici 2050, la majorité des bassins versants pourraient être en situation critique et il devient crucial de développer des outils pour en faire le diagnostic. Dans les Basses-Laurentides, le bassin du Ruisseau Rousse […]

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

This scoping review will explore the research base of the intersections of peer support training and implementation. The partner organization will benefit from this project as it will form the foundation of a longer-term goal of developing a training module for early psychosis peer support workers.
