Detection and quantification of biological species are critical to many areas of healthcare and life science, either intending to diagnose diseases or discover and screen new medicine molecules. Central to detection are the biosensors that generate a signal associated with the selective recognition of a species of interest. Nanostructures, such as oxide nanowires with large […]

This study aims to develop a soft and flexible magnetic millirobot based on elastic and biocompatible polymers that can generate voltage as it moves. By using this proposed millirobot, locomotion efficiency can be increased with a decrease in resistance under challenging and harsh conditions in stomachs and digestion systems. In addition, it can serve as […]

The project focuses on the development of some HPC mixtures using concrete materials available in Newfoundland. The developed HPC mixtures can be successfully used by concrete suppliers in Newfoundland area especially for the construction of marine and offshore structures. The project also aims to provide data-based analysis on the service life of some local concrete […]

Failure in pipelines may have financial and life-threatening consequences. High-quality weld joints in pipelines can avoid these consequences and improve the company’s productivity and reputation. To improve the weld quality, an efficient solution is to detect the defects. A collaboration of human and robots can provide an accurate, robust defect detection system. This system requires […]

Riding Mountain National Park is a national park in western Manitoba and managed by Parks Canada. The populations of Riding Mountain National Park and Wasagaming town are seasonal and fluctuate drastically throughout the year. During the peak season, which generally runs from May to October, Riding Mountain National Park is a very popular tourist destination, […]

Un personnel valorisé et en nombre suffisant représente une condition essentielle à l’accomplissement de la mission première des établissements du RSSS : offrir une expérience usager positive, agréable et de qualité. Or, la pénurie de main d’oeuvre qui sévit actuellement au sein du réseau ainsi que l’essoufflement des gestionnaires et du personnel à pied d’oeuvre […]

To support blue hydrogen economy processes that generate CO2 as a by-product, and greenhouse gas (GHG) sequestration studies in general, the injection and storage of CO2 into deep (~1500m), un-minable coal seams hosted in the Mannville Formation of Alberta will be studied. Using the successful proof-of-concept field injection pilot results from the first phase of […]

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 […]
