This research project aims to enhance the treatment of common tendon injuries in horses, a prevalent issue causing economic losses in equine sports. Despite various treatments, there’s a crucial need for more effective solutions. The study focuses on comparing the impact of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) alone to a combination of MSCs and Hyaluronic Acid […]

This research project enables internship personnel, guided by their industry sponsors, to develop advanced software features for designing and operating vast solar power farms. Creating a digital twin of the system, these computational models apply the latest solar technologies to efficiently harvest light from the whole environment (sun, sky, and ground) under the complex shading […]

Les revêtements à base de complexes polyélectrolytes (CPE) sont de plus en plus reconnus pour leur capacité à protéger et à conférer différentes propriétés à de nombreux substrats tels que le textile, le bois et le papier. Composés d’un polyanion et d’un polycation qui se lient par interactions électrostatiques, ces systèmes offrent l’avantage de pouvoir […]

Resistance exercise training and the provision of dietary protein is known to bring about beneficial adaptations for muscle mass and strength. Substantial research has been conducted to identify the optimal protein supplements that permit the greatest anabolic response following an exercise stimulus. This research project will examine if a novel protein supplement can increase anabolism […]

The project focuses on screening and testing state-of-art Enhanced Oil Recovery techniques. It is carried out through both experiment study in core scale and simulation research in field scale. The new knowledge that will be accrued will be the culmination of a truly collaborative approach. First and foremost, Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador will gain […]

This project involves designing a portable biosensor that measures the concentration of multiple metabolites in a person’s urine. The device measures the colour of the urine after reacting with the developed reactions to get metabolite concentrations. These concentrations are input to an algorithm to get a diagnosis. The first test will screen for colorectal cancer. […]

Depuis environ une décennie, il est possible d’observer en Europe une recrudescence de l’intérêt envers la production de biogaz. Ce dernier revêt un intérêt particulier en ce qu’il permet une réduction de la dépendance envers le gaz naturel, tout en offrant une perspective de valorisation des résidus putrescibles. Depuis quelques années maintenant, cet intérêt envers […]

The structure of power grid is changing due to the integration of distributed energy resources, especially the renewables and energy storage. These resources with power electronic converters provide additional controllability to grid operators and provide the capability of operating the interconnected gird as several active decentralized systems for enhancing system reliability and maintaining system resiliency. […]

Reinforcement learning algorithms are successfully employed in diverse industries, for instance in autonomous driving, trading or gaming. However, their generalization especially in critical-decision making systems has raised concerns about their robustness to attacks. The 22nd recommendation issued by the White House (2016) to prepare for the future of AI states: ”Agencies (…) should ensure that […]

La production maraîchère en serre au Canada est grandement limitée par les coûts associés à la demande énergétique nécessaire à maintenir le climat intérieur. Une piste de solution prometteuse est d’augmenter la récupération d’énergie thermique intermittente et l’apport d’énergies renouvelables (ex. solaire, géothermique) aux systèmes de chauffage, de refroidissement, et de déshumidification des serres. L’expertise […]

Development of oil and natural gas production in Atlantic Canada has mainly occurred in the offshore of Newfoundland, Labrador, and Nova Scotia. Energy Nova Scotia has estimated reservoir potential for Nova Scotia has been as high as 120 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and 8 billion barrels of oil. These reserves occur along the […]

We have observed that chemotherapy agents can induce RNA degradation in tumour cells, a phenomenon called “RNA disruption”. Interestingly, we also found that high tumour RNA disruption after 2-3 cycles of chemotherapy predicts for complete tumour destruction after treatment and improved cancer patient survival. We and Rna Diagnostics, Inc. are using this knowledge to identify […]
