Bacterial cystitis (BC) is a common painful inflammatory disease of the urinary bladder due to an infection. 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 […]

Mining operations generate large amounts of unused geomaterials (e.g., mine rock) that are generally stored on site in mine rock storage facilities (MRSFs). When mine rock is exposed to atmospheric conditions (i.e., atmospheric oxygen as air and water) sulfide minerals oxidize and produce acid rock drainage (ARD). The acidic effluent can subsequently leach metal ions […]

Ischemic stroke is caused by a blood clot within the blood vessels of the brain. A common technique to remove the blood clot is by using medical devices that can reach the clot through the arterial system. To properly deploy such devices, visualization of the blood vessels, clot, and therapy devices is required. This is […]

The proposal aims to develop a new technology that modifies forest residue such as logs and lumber into value-added wood products. British Columbia (BC) has an abundance of residual fiber from clear-cut logging, which includes small diameter logs, branches, and underutilized wood species such as aspen logs. The goal is to support BC’s wood industry’s […]

The Hope on the Horizon Tour is set to launch in the spring of 2023, and events/work focused on the True Sport initiative are continuing. Thus, the internship focuses on understanding and evaluating the depth of the knowledge transfer taking place throughout these initiatives – especially the Hope on the Horizon Tour. This research aims […]
