The feasibility of composting alum phosphate sludge that is produced in the process of phosphorous removal at wastewater lagoons is investigated in this project. The sludge is produced in an innovative phosphorous removal system that is being tested in a pilot scale at the RM of Taché, MB. The dewatered sludge will be stockpiled in […]

In a world where animal health and welfare are receiving increasing attention, it is crucial that we understand and support livestock farmers who are under an incredible amount of stress. This research is designed to start a supportive discussion and to collect information on the topic of farmer mental health in the beef and dairy […]

Le projet consiste à la mise en place d’une plateforme informative disponible aux PMEs sur les quatre volets de la rémunération globale, soit la rémunération direction, les avantages sociaux, le climat de travail et le développement professionnels. L’objectif est de permettre aux PMEs de se référer à une banque de données présentée sous forme d’indicateurs […]

The COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on everyone and was heavily covered by the media. Studies have shown that the pandemic itself and the media coverage might have influenced the number of adverse drug reactions that were reported to regulatory agencies. This project aims at determining how it affected the reporting of all adverse drug […]

The purpose of the Health Status report is to provide a snapshot of the health of the population served by the Prairie North Regional Health Authority (PNRHA). Its vision of “healthy people in healthy communities” serves as the driving force of the report in hopes to better understand the social, economic, physical, political and cultural […]

The proposed research aims to 3D print a series of heat exchangers in plastic and metal to optimize the pressure drop and heat transfer. An initial prototype will produce experimental data to validate a numerical model, which can then be used to rapidly evaluate future heat exchanger designs. Optimizing the pressure drop and heat transfer […]

Prostate Cancer has become the most diagnosed cancer in men in Canada. Nanoparticles have a myriad of unique properties, the most striking is their incredible ability to absorb light and convert this energy into intense heat. Therefore, the placement of particles to a tumor, dissipating extreme near-field energy, would cause complete ablation. In realizing this […]

There is an increasing amount of potentially distracting information being made available to drivers. However, applications (e.g., for navigation, work, entertainment, etc.) need to be aware of driver workload so that they don’t create unsafe distraction. This work is important because distracted driving is a major risk factor for road accidents and the threat of […]

This project aims to develop a method for accurately assessing the enzymatic activity of large libraries of compounds. To do this we will employ computational modeling of small molecules in an ensemble of protein crystal structures. The results of this work will lead to a better understanding of the relationship between docked poses and crystal […]

Chaque maladie orpheline n’affecte qu’un nombre restreint de personnes, soit environ 1 sur 100 000 selon l’Agence canadienne des médicaments et des technologies de la santé. On estime toutefois qu’entre 1 et 3 millions de citoyens canadiens en sont atteints. Ces derniers font face à divers enjeux d’accessibilité aux traitements pour leur maladie (délais, peu […]

Sleep apnea, which affects 10% of adults, is a disorder that causes breathing to repeatedly stop during sleep, leading to reduced blood oxygen and fragmented sleep. It increases the risk of HF by four times, of hypertension or stroke by three times, and doubles the risk of car accidents. Health care utilization is doubled in […]
