The Impacts of Driver Monitoring Systems on Mitigating Drowsiness Due to Conditional Automation

Driving automation is becoming increasingly available with the advancement in sensors and computational power. The next generation, i.e., conditional automation, allows drivers to engage in other activities like sleeping. If the system cannot operate in certain conditions due to limitations, the driver is required to takeover vehicle control. However, sleepy drivers might not be fit […]

Vanadium-Induced Protein Aggregation

Human health is impacted every day by metal contact, ranging from direct contact with metal surfaces to exposure to corrosion by-products, nanoparticles, or ions. The interaction of human proteins with these materials remains poorly understood, but metal-protein contact has been implicated as the cause of many adverse physiological reactions, such as allergies, contact dermatitis, and […]

Visuospatial memory in active vision

Eye movements and visuospatial memory constantly interact to shape an efficient representation of the world. The behavioral link between eye movements and holistic scene memory has been extensively demonstrated, yet it remains elusive how visual item memory dynamically unfolds in active vision. Understanding the interplay between eye movements and memory, and identifying its neural mechanisms, […]

Using Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy to Longitudinally Characterize Brain Metabolism Changes in the Event of Repeated Subconcussive Head Trauma in Sports

The proposed project aims to use a non-invasive method of analyzing brain chemistry, known as proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy, to characterize changes in specific brain metabolites that are indicative of disease-processes occurring in the brain as a consequence of repeated subconcussive head trauma in high school football athletes. This project offers an opportunity for biomarker […]

Return to Sport Monitoring after ACL Injury in Canadian Collegiate U-Sport Athletes

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur frequently in field/court sports and often require surgical reconstruction (ACLR) and a long rehabilitation that can last 12 months or more. Return to sport (RTS) criteria are not well defined and this may be one factor contributing to the high ACL reinjury rate and sport participation attrition. A central […]

Investigation of Sulfur Reactive Species Surface Mechanisms for the Sulfurization of Graphene in Electronegative Plasma

Graphene sulfur is a composite material of growing interest due to its unique properties and its potential for multi-sector innovation. Since its discovery in 2004, graphene, a carbon atomic monolayer, has sparked a research effort to modify its properties by modifying its chemistry. In fact, graphene-sulfur is graphene onto which sulfur atoms are grafted. Its […]

The use of multi-biomarkers to assess the potential trophic competition between marine native and non-indigenous species

The potential trophic niche overlap between native and non-indigenous species of a coastal lagoon in Portugal will be studied with the use of multi trophic biomarkers (fatty acids and stable isotopes). This project will focus on two pelagic species (the native blue mussel – Mytilus edulis, and the non-indigenous pleated sea squirt – Styela plicata) […]
