Crop losses and the economic impact caused by canola insect pests is substantial, depending on outbreak conditions. With the predicted de-registration of two key insecticides, canola producers are potential subject to greater economic losses. Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), also known as predatory nematodes, are commercially available biocontrol agents for the management of insect pests. Advancement in […]

Carbon dioxide and methane are two dominant green-house gases responsible for global warming—a topic of major concern nowadays. Efforts are intensifying in both academia and industry all around the world to come up with innovative and cost-effective solutions to combat global warming. One such effort is Carbonova’s technology that transforms carbon dioxide and methane into […]

Post-combustion CO2 capture is widely recognized as the most feasible approach to reduce carbon emissions from fossil fuels as it can easily be retrofitted to existing facilities. The existing aqueous amine absorption technology has shown promising performance but also the challenges associated with the mass transfer, kinetics, and amine degradation persist. The careful engineering of […]

This proposed research will create a modem internal licensing database management system, which will be developed at Side Effects. The main objectives of this applied research are (1) manage customer and license information; (2) ensure the security of the system; (3) test the application efficiently and automatically; (4) generate a useful report based on the […]

This project aims to evaluate environmentally friendly supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction and fractionation processes to obtain essential oils from Canadian hops and mint to better serve the industry and consumers. Using current extraction methods, the yield and purity of the extracts obtained are compromised, as well as its volatility for further use in food, […]

Pacific Canada Heritage Centre and Museum of Migration (PCHC-MoM) is determined to end the stigma around cultural-specific foods. To do this, PCHC-MoM engages in storytelling projects that match volunteers to storytellers and has volunteers create videos on their food establishments. These videos discuss the history of the foods, its importance to the community, and the […]

Disabilities secondary to traumatic brain injury are a major source of burden. Specifically, patients in Ontario seeking tertiary care for persisting symptoms following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) result in health costs of over $110 million annually (Hunt et al).

There is a consumer trend for “Natural” products that have received minimal processing but more importantly are free from artificial preservatives. This represents a challenge to food producers as consumers expect safety as a given and also an extended shelf life. The food industry has been inventive in developing new processes and identifying natural preservatives […]

Au lac Saint-Pierre, la culture de soya et du maïs dans le littoral a contribué à détériorer la qualité de l’eau et à mettre en péril les populations de perchaude. L’implantation de bandes riveraines et de bandes herbacées le long de fossés agricoles fait partie des solutions avancées pour rendre l’agriculture plus compatible avec la […]
