Prevalence of Malignancies in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and their Association with Biologic Disease Modifier Antirheumatic Drugs (BDMARDs)

According to Statistics Canada 2012, Arthritis is one of the most common chronic conditions affecting 4.4 million Canadians and 101.504 people in Newfoundland. It is also the most common cause of disability between the ages of 40 and 70 years. People with chronic arthritis have several numbers of other coexisting conditions such as high blood […]

Using Digital Twins and Predictive Analytics to Enhance Chicken Production Inventory Management

In today’s global market for chicken, producers of broiler hatching eggs face challenges in managing production efficiently. Traditional methods struggle with complex record-keeping and a lack of real-time monitoring and prediction capabilities. To overcome these challenges, we propose a digital twin framework—a virtual copy of the chicken production system. This framework uses synthetic data generated […]

Food waste Biochar Production and Characterization for Sustainable Odor Emission Control

In this research endeavor, our primary objective is to convert juice industry waste into biochar—a carbon-rich material—via biomass preprocessing and optimized pyrolysis. Employing advanced analytical techniques, we aim to comprehensively identify and understand the organic and inorganic elements, surface area, and micropore volume within the biochar. The ultimate goal is to unlock the diverse applications […]

Development, Technoecomic Analysis, and lifecycle assessment of a novel, commercial-scale, electrified E-waste recycling technology

The escalating predicament of electronic waste (e-waste) is a pervasive global concern, with the world generating more than 50 million metric tonnes of e-waste, and less than 20% undergoing global recycling. E-waste comprises diverse metallic and non-metallic constituents that possess the potential for re-utilization or recycling, thereby mitigating environmental pollution. In this project, in collaboration […]

Un cadastre numérique 3D: Automatisation du processus de modélisation volumétrique dans le cas de morcellement foncier vertical des immeubles.

Le cadastre est un registre public qui permet de représenter les propriétés foncières du Québec. Il joue un rôle important pour les propriétaires d’immeubles car en rendant les titres de propriété publics, il protège vos droits. Les normes actuelles de production et de diffusion des données cadastrales, régies par le gouvernement du Québec, sont strictes […]

Developing Security Metrics for Assessing Security Posture of EV ecosystems

Providing reliable and efficient services for electric vehicle (EV) users requires implementing cyber layers alongside the physical infrastructure within EV ecosystems. Nevertheless, the introduction of these cyber layers exposes these ecosystems to various cyber threats, including data manipulation, malware injection, and intrusions, strategically designed to disrupt power distribution networks. Building upon this, the proposal aims […]

Developing High-Performance Asphalt Concrete Mixes through Bio-Graphene Nanoplatelets Modification

High performing asphalt pavements are vital to the continual operation of North America’s transportation network. Asphalt, which is a mixture of asphalt cement, aggregates, and fillers, is paved at high temperatures and compacted to provide a smooth, waterproof, and safe wearing coarse for vehicles. Over the 15-to-20-year lifespan of the pavement, the asphalt surface can […]
