During surgery, a neurosurgeon must refer to three levels of image information: macroscopic from the patient’s MRI or CT, providing anatomical context of the surgical target; mesoscopic information from a surgical microscope or exoscope providing a highly magnified view of the region surrounding the surgical target; and the most important microscopic information provided by histology […]

The possible failure of surface water management systems is one of the main concerns in the design, construction and management of critical infrastructures such as dams, nuclear facilities and mining activities, especially in northern latitudes. Extreme rainfall and sudden snowmelt events exert major controls on surface runoff and flooding events in cold regions such as […]

As the heat fluxes produced by modern high-performance microprocessors continue to rise, so too must the effectiveness of the removal of these fluxes. Accordingly, a large amount of research has focused on developing techniques to enhance cooling in computer systems. A novel method of doing so involves replacing the single-phase liquid or two phase-liquid vapor […]

Many studies suggest that genes, environment, and age contribute to the onset of late-life neurodegenerative disease like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Epidemiological studies have shown correlations between environmental chemical exposure and neurodegeneration, but no direct and causal relationships have been established. Conversely, there may be environmental actors that suppress or delay neurodegeneration outcomes. The human body […]

The access to medical imaging is still limited for Indigenous and non-Indigenous population in remote communities. Teleradiology is now the standard of practice due to the small population size and the large geographical area to cover. The process of teleradiology is quite complex as it requires a very good coordination between the local and remote […]

Since 1960, System engineering has been used as an approach for multidisciplinary and concurrent design of complex systems. It relies on a system-centered thinking to solve problems and different design process models have been used for system engineering such as V-model. Model-based System engineering (MBSE) was developed to replace documents with models. AIS is developing […]

Canadian adolescent athletes suffer many mental health challenges such as hyper competitiveness and a culture of silence which often precludes individuals from discussing mental health issues. These challenges have been compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic. Team Unbreakable (the partner organization) have run a highly successful physical activity and mental health program which is implemented through […]
