Multiple sclerosis (MS) is caused by self-reactive immune cells that destroy the fatty substance called myelin which surrounds axons in the brain. Like the rubber insulation on telephone lines, myelin is required for axons to properly transmit electrical signals. Comparable to stripping the rubber insulation from telephone lines, myelin loss impairs communication in the brain. […]

This research focuses on making big tree-planting project better. In this project, special cameras are going to be used on planting machines to check if young trees are standing up straight when planted. This helps workers know right away if a tree isn’t planted correctly. The cameras use smart technology to quickly analyze how the […]

Recent advances in genetic technology have significantly lowered the cost of molecular microbiology, opening the doors to application in the mineral exploration industry. The Geomicrobial Surveys proposed in this application represent a novel method for mineral exploration using the patterns of microbial communities as proxies for invisible subsurface features, like rare earth metal deposits. Because […]

Pilot training plays an important role in the aerospace industry and must also be aligned with the industry’s objective to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Electrification of training aircraft is a solution already being implemented by training services such as CAE. However, current battery technology is limiting the potential benefits of a direct retrofit […]

Les technologies Skyrenu inc. (Skyrenu) développe une technologie de captage de CO2 directement de l’air, afin d’atténuer les émissions de gaz à effet de serre. La technologie développée utilise un procédé cyclique d’adsorption dans lequel un matériau adsorbant fonctionnalisé subit des cycles d’adsorption/désorption pour capturer et libérer le CO2. Dans le cadre de ce projet, […]

Cette proposition de recherche a pour but de definir les bases methodologiques necessaires a l’atteinte d’objectifs de developpement d’outils d’aide a la prevision de la generation de residus industriels, et d’aide a la confection de tournees de vehicules dans un contexte de logistiques inverse et de collecte de residus industrielle. Autrement dit, cette proposition est […]

Mental health is a pressing health issue in today’s society that requires more research to better prevent, identify, and mental health disorders in children and adolescence. Our pilot data suggests that bacterial in our mouths (the oral microbiome) may play an important role in mental health but requires further investigation in larger more diversity populations […]

Post-pandemic, two of the most significant issues facing Canada’s tourism industry are the lack of skilled workers and the shuttering of tourism businesses, which reduced the availability of products and experiences. These problems are often more pronounced in rural and remote destinations like the Yukon Territory, where only one location (Whitehorse) is considered urban and […]

This study will conduct a marine multi-stakeholder usage assessment for commercial, recreational and cultural purposes for potential tidal energy developments in Campbell River, BC. Tidal energy harnesses the daily movements of tides through confined waterways to produce electrical energy. Given that Campbell River is a busy multi-use marine port, planning estimates must be done in […]

The combination of aging alongside chronic conditions such as primary biliary cholangitis leads to accelerated muscle mass loss that impacts physical function. At advanced stages, this is termed frailty. Frailty is one of the strongest predictors of poor clinical outcomes including death. In this project we will use multidimensional digital health data and artificial intelligence […]

Ensuring fabric longevity involves effective stain removal in both wet and dry cleaning. While wet cleaning is eco-friendly, it can damage fabric and consume resources. Dry cleaning, though superior for certain stains, poses environmental and health risks. This study seeks to enhance Vilimont Inc.’s oil and tar-based stain removers by 40-60%, with a focus on […]
