This project will help to design and develop the user interface and an image picture archiving and communication system (PACS) for mobile teledermatology for use in an application of skin imaging. This will enable both patients and specialists to acquire, archive and manage dermatological images for further diagnosis, triage and follow-up purposes. The project goals […]

The use of disposable face masks as preventive measures significantly increased in the past years. Overloading landfills with disposable face mask wastes will raise certain environmental concerns. However, their degradation in landfill leachate is poorly studied. The objective of this study is to investigate the degradation process of the mask in landfill leachate and quantify […]

This research project centres on a new recovery centre for vulnerable adults with complex mental health and addictions issues in Toronto. Recovery is an approach to mental health that values personcentred care and self-direction. Recovery centres are educational centres, based in the community, that provide programs that help people live normal, meaningful lives in their […]

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) are anadromous salmonids; they inhabit both marine and freshwater habitats during distinct stages in their life cycle. Anadromy allows Atlantic salmon to play a vital role in connecting freshwater and marine ecosystems by facilitating nutrient transport and trophic interactions. This project will examine the stable isotope and lipid composition of Atlantic […]

Malgré le peu de considération portée aux impacts du gel en conception de chaussées rigides, il est connu qu’elles sont sensibles aux variations de température. Les gradients de température entre le haut et le bas des dalles font en sorte qu’il peut y avoir apparition de fissures transversales et de fissures aux coins (Harvey, 2004). […]

Canada is a multi-cultural nation that welcomes immigrants from around the world, many of whom present a high prevalence of chronic medical conditions and its risk factors. To minimize this burden, it is essential that individuals at risk of such diseases are connected to evidence-based health information. Therefore, there is a need for strategies that […]

Meat mass production is associated with many issues, from animal welfare, antibiotic use, climate change, destruction of ecological systems and wildlife extinction. Cultured meat industry is promising alternative to that, which offers the actual meat (not plant-based) without aforementioned issues. This project aims to contribute to development of cultured fat from a pig-derived stem cell. […]

Les aptazymes sont des molécules d’ADN ou ARN capables de prendre des conformations très particulières afin d’interagir spécifiquement avec des cibles moléculaires précises, de la même manière qu’un anticorps interagit avec son antigène. Additionnellement à ceci, les aptazymes sont capables, subséquemment à la reconnaissance de leur cible, de réguler l’expression de gènes. Avec ces puissants […]

The oncogenic kinase AKT1 is a prime therapeutic target, but its function cannot be easily researched as AKT activation in cells requires stimulation of cells with an unspecific growth factor that alters all cellular signaling. I designed a new method to deliver an already activated, phosphorylated AKT1 protein to cells that do not require the […]

Les tendances récentes liées au sport et à l’aménagement du territoire interpellent de plus en plus à la résolution d’enjeux sociaux et territoriaux tout à fait conjoints. D’un côté, les manchettes récentes reflètent des desitératums locaux d’instances privées et publiques de tous les azimuts, qui ont à jongler avec un marché de sportif de plus […]

Bien que des médicaments peuvent soulager certains symptômes psychotiques, ils ne sont pas suffisants à eux seuls pour mener au rétablissement des patients. L’identification et le traitement des comorbidités, dont l’addiction aux jeux vidéo (AJV), constituent une avenue prometteuse pour favoriser cette situation. Il n’existe aucune donnée concernant cette dépendance chez les patients souffrant de […]

Inner-city organizations in Winnipeg have long called for transformation of the policies and practices that created injustice for inner-city residents. This year’s State of the Inner City report uses precedent studies to identify funding models that foreground community leadership, and knowledge translation and community development events to celebrate the people and community organizations of the […]
