This research project aims at establishing a cheap and simple alternative genetic transformation method for soybean termed in planta. Three in planta methods, named (i) tissue-culture independent callus and adventitious buds generation (TCICABG), (ii) sonication and in vivo selection/regeneration (SivSR) and (iii) in vitro embryonic axis sonication and direct regeneration (EAR), will be tested to […]

Radiographic Testing is a versatile non-destructive testing method that uses either x-rays or gamma rays to examine the internal structure of components identifying any defects in various industries. Digital radiography has replaced screen-film radiography and is used extensively in inspections of insulated pipes in petrochemical industries. The principal task of this project is to assess […]

This project represents the final phase of an extensive research project, culminating in an exhibition of national significance on the subject of Canada’s 1967 Centennial architectural projects and their role in the creation of national identity. The intern’s role is related to two main areas of activity: a curatorial exercise that involves the selection of […]

The objective of this project is to evaluate the effect of feeding high levels of vitamins to gestating sows on their immune response to vaccination against E. coli, on the transfer of maternal immunoglobulins to piglets and piglets immune response against E. coli, on the metabolism of vitamins during gestation and on sows reproductive performance […]

Over the past two decades, the number of network-connected devices has grown at an unprecedented pace, far surpassing the world’s population. The most significant increase has been seen in Internet-of-Things (loT) devices, which are predominantly connected through wireless technologies. This project aims at advancing the abilities and autonomy of wireless loT networks by using machine […]

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural polymer produced by certain bacteria in the form of nanaofiber. Being a natural nanobiomaterial, it has been investigated for a broad range of applications ranging from headphone diaphragm to wound dressing and medical implant. The biochemical process for BC production using the well established bacterium, A. xylinum, is limited […]

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is an important medical device used to monitor patient’s heart health. Despite its major importance in diagnosing life-threatening heart diseases, ECG machines are not available in many health centers around the world because of their high cost. Glia’s solution is an accessible, low-cost, and high-quality ECG device. The main purpose of this […]

Il repose sur une capacité d’intelligence artificielle composée principalement de capteurs, de systèmes d’acquisition de données, de systèmes interactifs automatisés et d’algorithmes qui aident au processus décisionnel. […]

The proposed project aims at exploring the technical and financial feasibility of integrating Photovoltaic (PV) technologies in available facades of a new multistorey building. The research consists of two main design objectives1) exploring various characteristics of available facades to functionally and aesthetically integrate PV modules, and 2) explore the feasibility of the designed PV façade […]

Food production and consumption significantly contribute to global greenhouse gas emissions, and in our endeavor to reduce the carbon footprint of food choices, we present an innovative research project focused on promoting sustainable eating habits in restaurant settings. We aim to influence consumer behavior by harnessing the power of behavioral change interventions. The project involves […]

Echinacea is widely used as a medicinal herb with a global market of ~$1 billion. Hundreds of Echinacea products are available but, with each made from different plant materials using different processes, chemistry- and therefore quality -varies between products. Working with Amway Corporation, a global leader in the Echinacea market, researchers at the University of […]

Efficient monitoring of soil moisture is essential for evaluating crop stress and forecasting agricultural yields. In this regard, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is considered more suitable than traditional optical satellites due to its all-weather and all-day capacity, as well as its sensitivity to soil dielectric constant. To further enhance the accuracy of soil moisture retrieval, […]
