Seismic techniques are used to image the structure of the subsurface and expand our knowledge about the geological condition of the underground. The information acquired from these techniques is employed in domains such as the petroleum industry and clean energy development. Seismic studies also play a vital role in geotechnical projects and civil engineering. The […]

Water scarcity threatens more and more people in the world. Cape Town (South Africa) imposed strict water restrictions in 2018 in response to shortages. Closer to home, water restrictions were put into place in Quebec in the summer of 2020, and First Nation communities have been confronted with fresh water issues for years. Water scarcity […]

Les Premières Nations sont de plus en plus impliquées dans les projets de recherche qui touchent leur territoire. Or, le développement de compétences en recherche en sciences naturelles au sein des communautés est nécessaire pour assurer une collaboration équitable et harmonieuse avec les institutions de recherche. La recherche proposée sera menée par la Première Nation […]

Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is the most important disease of feedlot cattle, which remains the leading cause of disease-induced economic loss in the Canadian cattle industries. BRD is induced by bacterial pathogens including the Gram-negative (G-) bacteria Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, and Histophilus somni. Even with current prevention and control measures targeting associated pathogens, the […]

UAVs are becoming essential solutions in a wide range of industries. In this market growth, the potential of UAVs to fly in indoor environments represents a massive opportunity for companies. In particular, for applications such as medical care, search and rescue operations, and industrial management and inspections. The main concern of UAVs flying indoors is […]

The partner company is a business that provides solutions for financial institutes and wealth management companies. This company has provided services to more than 100 financial firms with a total of 1 trillion Asset Under Management.

Retinal degeneration disorders are among the leading causes of blindness in the developed world. Several therapies hold promise, however widespread application is hindered due to difficulty in delivering active drug to the retina. Synakis is a company that has developed a biomaterial that can be injected into the eye to aid in retinal surgeries. This […]

Cells have developed an intricate system called ubiquitination to control the quantity of certain proteins. As this is frequently hijacked in various cancers, the Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC) intends to inhibit components of ubiquitination with small molecules for therapeutic benefit. Partnership of the SGC with the cell biology expertise of Barsyte-Lovejoy group will allow for […]

The proposed trial will evaluate the benefit of using donor human milk versus formula as a supplement to parent milk, when the latter is unavailable, in the well-baby nursery. Although the goal for infant feeding is exclusive parent milk from birth, up to 50% of all infants in well-baby units receive a supplement for a […]

With the advent of quantum computing, finding applications for which quantum computers offer an advantage with respect to classical computers is crucial if this technology is to be fruitful. One of the areas where quantum computers are expected to be particularly useful is for the simulation of molecular systems, with applications in drug discovery, materials […]

La production d’aluminium primaire est un processus produisant une quantité importante de gaz à effet de serre. Par souci de mieux quantifier et de réduire la quantité de GES émis, Rio Tinto a fait l’acquisition d’un appareil de mesure permettant de suivre un type précis d’émissions de GES, associée à plus de 25% des émissions […]

While much of how we interact with the world is grounded in the body, embodied forms of knowledge have received little attention in research and practice. The inherent difficulty in communicating embodied experiences, and the paucity of tools to do so, poses a significant barrier to sharing it—a problem which is only exacerbated by our […]
