The virus spike receptor has been used to successful generate vaccine candidates for SARS-CoV-2 infections. Furthermore, disruption of the virus interacting with host cells represents a viable options for antiviral development. We will express both the viral spike protein and host ACE2 receptor for development of vaccine and antivirals.

Nous ambitionnons, via ce projet de recherche, d’aider les entreprises à propriété féminine (EPF) à s’engager et à se développer sur les marchés internationaux (par l’exportation notamment), via l’adoption d’une approche collaborative de l’internationalisation. En d’autres termes, il s’agit d’encourager les EPF à collaborer en elles pour chasser collectivement l’opportunité d’affaires à l’international et pour […]

Sprint kayak is a water sport where athletes propel themselves forward using blades on either end of their paddle, with the goal of completing the distance in the shortest amount of time. Along with high volumes of on-water training, athletes often use weight training to increase their paddle force production. Strength and conditioning coaches use […]

Le développement identitaire est central pour les adolescents et les jeunes adultes. Cependant, divers défis existent, par exemple l’influence des médias et les attentes des parents et des pairs. De plus, peu d’emphase est portée au développement identitaire dans les milieux fréquentés par les jeunes (ex. : écoles). Apprendre à connaitre notre soi authentique – […]

Depuis des années, les chercheurs en entrepreneuriat ont tenté d’étudier les facteurs qui influencent la propension des individus à s’engager et à persévérer dans une activité entrepreneuriale. Le rôle de la santé et du bien-être des entrepreneures comme facteur de maintien dans la carrière entrepreneuriale reste à développer, car le maintien d’une bonne santé physique […]

The proposed research seeks to contribute to Indigenous cultural health and resilience by employing a three-phased approach of re-centering, re-animating, and repatriating archived belongings. These three phases involve the rethinking of archival structures in terms of Indigenous categorical systems (re-centering), the organization of collection spaces to promote Indigenous knowledge transmission (re-animating), and the return of […]

Today, there is an abundance of social media and user engagement platforms. However, they are disorganized and unverified which creates unreliable engagement data. To explore new methods of creating an engagement platform, Veras Technologies Inc. will work with intern Md Hasan Tareque to research and develop a verified and secure engagement platform that leverages blockchain […]

Today, there is an abundance of stakeholder engagement and data visualization platforms. However, they are overwhelming to use, and the data is not easy to interpret. To explore how new methods of visual design and data visualization, Veras Technologies Inc. will work with intern Divine Okonkwo to research, design, and test a comprehensive design language, […]

As the underlying networks transition into 5G and 6G infrastructure, the optimal task performance across different WIoT devices with different energy consumption and computing power require coordination at both the software and hardware levels to maximize accessibility and minimize latency to support emerging applications. The proposed research will explore the various parameter space to determine […]

Membranes are becoming the dominant technology in treating drinking water and wastewater. Membranes can be made in various geometries, but hollow fibers are the preferred form factor; they can be packed more efficiently, reducing the plant size and they are often easier to clean than alternative geometries. Nevertheless, during use, membranes will become fouled, which […]

Les coupes partielles sont parmi les solutions envisageables pour assurer la pérennité des ressources forestières. Cependant, exception faite de la masse volumique et de quelques caractéristiques macroscopiques, les connaissances essentielles sur les effets réels des coupes partielles sur la productivité forestière, la qualité du bois et sa valeur marchande sont manquantes. Le recours aux essais […]

The path to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 in Atlantic Canada is both time- and resource-constrained. Energy system models can be used in this context to compare climate change mitigation options and to strategically plan for meeting climate change goals through cost-effective and timely means. Motivated by these circumstances, Net Zero Atlantic is building an […]
