Radioactive medical isotopes lead-203 (203Pb) and lead-212 (212Pb), which are compatible with nuclear imaging and cancer therapy, respectively, have recently gained international academic and commercial attention due to successes in clinical trials. Through initial imaging with 203Pb-labeled drugs, physicians can determine if the patient will be suitable for treatment with the 212Pb-labeled counterpart, allowing for […]

Today, construction activities have resulted in the depletion of vast amounts of non-renewable resources that cause climate change which is one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our day. The construction industry is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions globally. Sustainable construction is now mainstream, necessitating the investigation of environment friendly construction material […]

There is no cure for PD. Limitations of the current Canadian health care environment, compounded by the effects of the pandemic, have led to infrequent and imbalanced access to care for PwP, which may contribute to inaccurate assessments, incorrect medication dosages, and undermanaged disease symptoms. To improve the lives of PwP, a chronic disease management […]

La recherche sur le cerveau se tourne de plus en plus vers des études qui consistent à observer un même groupe d’individus sur une longue période. De ces études, nous sommes désormais capables d’extraire une multitude d’informations relativement complexes (multi-dimensionnalité) sur le fonctionnement du cerveau. Or, les outils statistiques actuels ne permettent pas de considérer […]

Lipid-made nanoparticles are small delivery vehicles that can encapsulate therapeutics like mRNA and drugs. These tiny containers help to protect therapies until they are delivered into cells where they have better effects. A huge portion of the worldwide population have them in their bodies, thanks to mRNA COVID19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna. A lot […]

Ce projet de recherche, mandaté par le Groupe Multisports (GMS) St-Léonard, en collaboration avec l’arrondissement de Saint-Léonard, vise à comprendre les déterminants de participation aux loisirs, au sport organisé et à la gestion bénévole des organisations sportives. Une attention particulière sera portée aux facteurs facilitant la participation, aux contraintes, ainsi qu’à la motivation. Le projet […]

En effet, les gestionnaires ont pour but d’atteindre des niveaux élevés à la fois en termes de qualité de service et d’efficacité opérationnelle. La qualité du service est généralement mesurée par les principaux […]

Climate change due to CO2 emission as a result of burning fossil fuels has become an urgent environmental concern. Moving towards developing clean and sustainable energy sources is inevitable. Expansion of electrification in the energy sector is one of the effective approaches to developing cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. Metal-air batteries that are assembled […]

Le projet intitulé « Étude de cas : Le rôle de l’intermédiaire GoExport dans l’internationalisation des PME québécoises au Brésil » a pour but de déterminer comment des agents intermédiaires comme l’entreprise montréalaise GoExport permettent à des PME québécoises de surmonter les distances qu’elles peuvent rencontrer lors de leur processus d’internationalisation au Brésil. Ces distances […]

This project will explore the strengths of one existing Indigenous-led school-based ecocultural restoration program, PAPAKEN HAUTW, and support the program in dreaming and designing of a larger and more sustainable youth land stewardship/land-based learning program within the tribal school where it is currently housed and beyond, to the community and Greater Victoria School Board-SD61.

As brain computer interface (BCI) is an emerging technology, this project attempts to understand the functionality of this technology from the user’s perspective. To achieve this goal, a BCI-based application is developed, and users’ ideas are collected from pre- and post-experience surveys. The previous study dealt with functionality of BCI in technical level and this […]

This project will support the New Canadians Health Centre (NCHC) in implementing an internal evaluation to assess its impact on refugee communities. As a health centre that is grounded in five principles, the goal of the project is to assess whether the principles are being upheld, and how they influence refugees experience with healthcare and […]
