Conventional organic waste disposal adapts a linear waste-to-discharge treatment strategy, wasting the vast amount of resources and energy embedded in organic waste. With our innovative reactor design and operation, we have demonstrated significantly increased energy and resources recovery efficiencies under loading rates higher (2 times) than reported. Our products feature high flexibility and easy operation/maintenance, […]

This project tackles the issue of knowledge incompleteness and lack of domain coverage in resume and job posting matching caused by the exploitation of domain-general resources. A variety of co-operative semantic/ontological resources will be used to filter out irrelevant resumes. A two-way (candidate to job and job to candidate) semantic-based automatic suitability ranking is proposed. […]

Le projet de recherche a pour but de valoriser les sous-produits et résidus miniers de l’industrie de l’aluminium. Pour rendre possible cette valorisation, le projet consiste à développer de nouvelles méthodes de mises à la terre (MALT) à base de géopolymères électriquement conducteurs qui seront par la suite utilisées dans les grandes structures électriques telles […]

The storage of solar energy is one of the bottlenecks that prevent its widespread adoption. Perhaps the most widely accepted, and promising, strategy is to store solar energy in the form of energetic chemicals like hydrogen. This feat requires water splitting technology that can use solar energy to convert water to hydrogen and oxygen. In […]

Le projet de recherche a pour but de valoriser les sous-produits et résidus miniers de l’industrie de l’aluminium. Pour rendre possible cette valorisation, le projet consiste à développer un géopolymère conducteur chauffant en utilisant des résidus industriels. L’objectif principal est le développement de produits manufacturés et/ou matières premières alternatives qui implique le développement de procédés […]

Exercise induced inflammation and subsequently free radical production are necessary for exercise recovery. However, excess inflammation may be detrimental to exercise performance and can contribute to degenerative inflammatory conditions such as arthritis in equine athletes. Algae, specifically Spirulina, has the potential to reduce the risk of degenerative disease without impeding post-exercise recovery and adaptation. Spirulina […]

The TRANSFORM Project comprises a global network of researchers located in eight different countries and 11 universities. This network is committed to building the capacity of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to accelerate the transition to sustainable, resilient, and low-carbon communities. SMEs possess great potential to shape and transform the cities and communities in which […]

Efficient animal production with a reduced environmental impact requires healthy animals, higher performance, increased feed conversion, and the use of available nutrients. The improvement of those traits could be accomplished by understanding how the gut microbiome plays a vital role in nutrient digestion and feed efficiency. Also, applying a reliable sorting tool allows identifying pigs […]

Medulloblastoma is the most common form of pediatric brain cancer with a five-year survival rate of approximately 70%, yet for some children’s survival is as low as 40%. Many of the treatment options for these patients may be effective in extending the five-year survival rate, however, quality of life issues still persist for these young […]

Wound dressings are indispensable in medical operation as they protect the wound from contamination by foreign matter, absorb wound exudate, and control the humidity of the wound to promote healing. To meet the requirements in wound closure and management, and convenience and comfort of users, the dressings is required to processes multiple functionalities. Optical transparency […]

The student will be involved in the research and development of a novel multi-dose lyophilized vial kit for the preparation of Gallium 68Ga-DOTATOC injection used for the PET imaging of neuroendocrine tumors. This novel kit compared to the currently available ready to use injectable solution, has better shelf life and can be easily shipped to […]

Aggression toward family/caregivers in childhood and adolescence (AFCCA) is a serious issue that impacts all family members in complex and interrelated ways. Despite its extensive and long-term consequences, there is limited research and even scarcer supports available for young people and their families affected by this form of family violence. Expanding on a pilot project […]
