Solid-state nanopores—tiny holes in thin glass similar in size to biomolecules like proteins or DNA—are poised to disrupt many essential growth markets, including genomics and proteomics, personalized medicine, point-ofcare diagnostics, and next-generation information storage. While holding great promise as a broadly applicable disruptive technology, solid-state nanopore sensors are individually failure-prone, requiring use of many in […]

The delivery of stroke treatment requires simple, quick, and accurate imaging to make fast treatment decisions. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is required to identify a large vessel occlusion (LVO) and medium vessel occlusion (MeVO) before removal (recanalization) by tPA and/or endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). The CTA can detect where the artery is blocked reliably by an […]

Humic Land is a 100% organic fertilizer that was produced from black peat using innovative technology that protects live soil microorganisms. It contains complex organic compounds known as humic substances and a microbial consortia that can biologically promote the growth of field crops. When Humic Land is applied to corn in a nitrogen-limited environment, the […]

Fabstation-Steel is the flagship product of Eterio Realities Inc. It is designed to improve Structural Steel Fabricators’ production quality and velocity by using AR (augmented reality) virtual assembly model overlay technology. Since the accuracy of the virtual model overlay is critical to the success of the product, this research project aims to improve the virtual […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented numerous challenges for Health Professions Education programs, especially those that needed to switch from in-person to online interviewing as a means of evaluating applicants. Particularly, despite the rising use of online formats such as asynchronous video interviews (AVIs) in selection decisions, there is little evidence on the fairness and extent […]

Urban freight transportation plays an essential role in the future of smart and sustainable cities. The emerging of e-commerce, new business models, and evolving technologies will affect logistics efficiency, policymaking, and planning in the freight transportation context. Smart freight platforms will be the next generation of shared mobility in global supply chain and logistics. It […]

This project will analyse Canada’s official multiculturalism policy and its impact on the National Arts Centre’s English language theatre program. The National Arts Centre Archival holdings will be utilized for research to assess the diversity of persons from ethnic minorities and Indigenous groups as actors, directors, and authors of the plays that have been performed […]

Multiomics studies of the human microbiome have an enormous potential for understanding the mechanism of biological processes involving the microbial community and the metabolites produced by gut microbiota. We will apply a multiomics strategy to clinical fecal samples using a novel collection device to stabilize fecal metabolites at room temperature, thereby making the standard practise […]

This project aims to develop a solution for the predictive maintenance of UAVs which will mitigate the burden and risks associated with the traditional reactive and preventive maintenance. By identifying the critical data related to the failures and monitoring/modeling the behaviors of the components based on data/signals during and after the flight, this research will […]

The design optimization process of photonic and optoelectronic devices can be time consuming. The modeling of these electrically-long devices is time-intensive. Accurate time-domain and frequency-domain simulation tools such as the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method and the finite element method (FEM) are usually utilized to model these devices. These methods require fine meshing to […]

This project will develop computer vision based tools for application to the see through sensor, a new sensor developed at SAIC Montreal, which has the unique capability of acquiring both tactile (touch) and visual information, while in interaction with objects. These tools will allow for new sensing capabilities to be deployed including contact categorization, slip […]

GelEntroCeutics have developed an intrinsically acid-resistant formulation of gelatin that was used to make fish oil softgels which are acid-resistant per se and do not need to go through the coating process. This achievement is a major advantage over the usual coating of fish oil capsules with gastric acid-resistant layers that is susceptible to deformation […]
