Usability Evaluation of PRIMS (Parkinson’s Remote Interactive Monitoring System)

The Parkinson’s Remote Interactive Monitoring System (PRIMS) developed by PragmaClin Research Inc. was designed to be an easy-to-use digital system which can accurately assess motor symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease remotely. The problem is that a well-designed usability study has not been performed to determine the PRIMS technology’s true ease of use. This Canadian study aims […]

Overcoming metabolic constraints in the scalable growth of mouse embryonic stem cells for cultured meat

Cellular agriculture uses laboratory-grown cells to sustainably produce food, although high cost of growing cells currently limits widespread commercial application of this technology. Because Animals seeks to develop cat food using mouse stem cells, which can be grown indefinitely and converted into muscle and fat cells. Stem cells grow in a liquid medium that contains […]

Broad-scaled Avian Biodiversity Assessment with Passive Acoustic Monitoring and Artificial Intelligence

Many bird species are highly vocal, and this provides opportunities to monitor avian biodiversity by acoustic surveys. In recent decades, the use of Autonomous Recording Units (ARUs) has gained popularity as a mechanism to census birds through passive acoustic monitoring. Further, automatic algorithms for identifying bird species by their vocalizations have been developed to improve […]

Experimental and Numerical Studies of a New Quartz Atomizer for Vaping Devices

A new atomizer for vaping devices will be studied experimentally and numerically. The visualization of the flow inside the atomizer microchannels and the liquid film formed over to the top surface of the atomizer (with and without surface heating) will be attempted. Aerosol characterization using Phase Doppler Anemometer (PDA) will be conducted. In addition, numerical […]

Exploring patient and provider perceptions to guide optimization of electronic order sets and digital educational platforms for cirrhosis care

People with cirrhosis, a progressive scarring of the liver, often experience frequent and prolonged hospitalizations which have significant impacts to their quality of life. There are many areas for improvement in cirrhosis care such as the enhanced promotion of complication-specific order panels like that for hepatic encephalopathy, a serious complication caused by a buildup of […]

Optimization of Soil Parameters for Deep Excavations by Inverse Analysis

The proposed research aims to optimize soil model parameters through inverse analysis of deep excavations. Soil properties and their engineering behavior are the fundamental uncertainties among the many influential factors involved in deep excavations. Even though geotechnical investigations are usually conducted, the risks are still high due to the limited amount of soil samples extracted […]
