CAIN, seen as a representative voice of BAI’s in Canada, is frequently approached to defend the value of BAI’s. BAI’s […]

This proposed research project is about development of new bone-targeting drug called PTHPEG- BP, this new compound will overcome shortages of current clinical peptide hormone PTH, and show better treatment efficacy and lower price then the latter; several new technologies will be used on research of this PTH, such as micro Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT), […]

The aim of this project is to determine whether renewable natural gas (RNG) is a feasible low carbon intensity (CI) fuel alternative which can be produced using existing production technologies (anaerobic digestion) and farm waste (corn silage and/or wheat, barley, oat straw) at an economically feasible cost within Canada. Driven by the introduction of Canada’s […]

When stars like our Sun reach the end of their lives, they become giants and eject a lot of their initial mass through a slow, dense outflow. These winds are driven by microscopic solid particles (dust grains) that condense in the cool stellar atmospheres. The dust is the product of a large number of chemical […]

Outdoor winter sport athletes face unique weather conditions that might include wind, snow and rain.
