Lung cancer is a significant health concern worldwide, and a common type called non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is responsible for many cases. Surgery is the preferred treatment for early-stage NSCLC, but it can lead to complications after the operation, affecting patient recovery. In addition, inflammation before surgery has been linked to worse outcomes in […]

The Nicola River as many parts of British Columbia were hit by major floods in November 2021. These floods caused massive bank erosion and channel widening in the Nicola River. Floods are generally thought be important driver in changing the shape of a river as the high energy of floods can move large particles in […]

In the proposed project, a series of computer-aided simulations will be conducted to determine the thermal behaviour of engine components in the presence of a fire inside the engine. The goal is to predict the heat transfer rate into the components, and the behaviour of the oil found inside those components. Results of this work […]

The small-scale food processing industry is underrepresented within scholarly and industry discourses, despite its vital role in local economies, food systems, supply chains, and Canadian food security. How can a financing model developed by the Small Scale Food Processors Association (SSFPA) best enable its members to continue to innovate, support local economies, and contribute to […]

Even with antibiotic treatment, BC continues to have significant negative impacts of patients’ quality of life due to pain and risk of recurrence. Altheda Wellness Innovation Inc. (Altheda) is a Maritime´s based biotechnology company that specialized in the […]

Le rôle des hommes est devenu un aspect incontournable aux efforts pour l’égalité des genres, car les schémas de domination associés à certains modèles de masculinités sont souvent nuisibles. Dans ce contexte, certaines pratiques d’intervention psychosociale s’appuient dorénavant sur les modèles de masculinités dites positives et sur l’approche transformationnelle de genre. Ces interventions tiennent à […]

Traditional space cooling using air conditioners is very energy intensive, creates a net warming effect to the globe, and involves refrigerants that are ozone-depleting and potent greenhouse gases. In Canada, 6% of all energy use in the commercial sector is for space cooling alone, and this number is expected to grow significantly in the coming […]

As the “second skin” (Horn, 1981) for many of us, clothing has become an indispensable part of our everyday life. The growing awareness and interest in sustainable clothing allow us to examine the correlation between sustainable consumer culture and the recent “eco-conscious” cultural movements. The proposed three-component mixed-method will give us the opportunity to understand […]

We would like to investigate the use of hearing aids in real life environments. Retrospective questionnaires are often subject to memory errors and recall biases. In order to obtain more accurate momentary evaluations of sound and noise, our proposed research involves asking participants to complete real-time evaluations in the laboratory and in their everyday environments. […]

En 2022, la Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses (FTQ) et plusieurs des syndicats qui y sont affiliés se sont dotés de politique afin de participer à la transition écologique juste que nos sociétés doivent entamer pour répondre aux enjeux écologiques. La FTQ souhaite mettre sur pied et offrir des formations accès sur l’apprentissage par les […]

Zinc is extracted from sulfide ore by roasting – calcine leaching and direct pressure leaching of zinc sulfide, followed by zinc recovery from sulfate solution via electrowinning. Impurity elements in zinc sulfate solution must be lowered to levels suitable for electrowinning. The removal of many impurity elements is achieved using zinc dust cementation. However, when […]

Modern power systems are expected to provide an uninterrupted supply of power to its consumers. Faults occurring in transmission lines can lead to extended outages if they are not quickly repaired. When a transmission line is hundreds of kilometers long and passes through difficult to access terrain, locating the faulted point is very important to […]
