Development of high yielding, Eastern Canadian hard and soft red winter wheat cultivars and germplasm with increased resistance to Fusarium head blight and leaf diseases

Development of high yielding winter wheat cultivars, resistant or tolerant to different stresses, with good agronomic and quality characteristics, is important to wheat growers and industry. Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a serious wheat disease caused by a fungus Fusarium graminearum. FHB epidemics in Ontario were reported in 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2013 and 2015. […]

Novel tissue preservation media for tumor margin evaluation on intraoperative MRI

Amber is a novel preservation media for diagnostic tissue biopsies that enables superior histology, biomarker viability, and high RNA quantity. Amber is proposed to increase visualization of tumor margins on MRI. The current challenge of evaluating post-surgical specimen is the MRI technology is succumbed to surgically induced artefacts from tissue-air interface. Tumor margin detection is […]

Removing carbon-black pigment from ABS material recycled from end-of-life electronic devices for improved colourability and material performance

Plastic continues to be produced, as it’s an essential element in many industries such as medical, engineering, electronics, etc. As a result, there is an increase in plastic waste that is not being recycled and often ends up in our landfills and oceans instead. This is because recycling is a time-consuming and often expensive process […]

Life Cycle Analysis of Electricity Generation and Battery Technologies for use in Ontario

As Ontario’s electricity grid continues to evolve, all technologies must be evaluated on a life cycle basis. This will ensure that potential environmental impacts and economic costs are understood in advance of installation, and will permit fair and comprehensive comparisons amongst alternatives. This project seeks to investigate the life cycle environmental and cost performance of […]
