Physical activity during pregnancy has been related to benefits for both, mother and fetus, mainly by improving cardiovascular health. However, molecular mechanisms involved in these adaptations are not fully described. Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding-RNAs which may influence gene expression. miRNAs levels are altered in response to nutrition and lifestyle interventions, including exercise. Some miRNAs are […]

Data analytics have been used extensively across various industries to predict and propose optimal operation conditions, ultimately improving project efficiencies and reducing execution costs. However, these methods have not been widely utilized by any SAGD (Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage) operators. There is an opportunity to adapt this new technology to further optimize process operation and […]

Canada’s West coast is prone to tsunamis induced from local megathrust earthquakes that can be generated from the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ). The main objective of this research is to study, analyze and simulate the current detection, notification and response systems for an earthquake and resulting tsunami and develop a comprehensive solution using the network […]

The project involves detailed planning and mapping of the Cattle Health Management (CHM) organization’s data systems and designing and planning an application, data portal, and database infrastructure. We will start by analyzing the current data processes to create a structured map that guides the integration of advanced database technologies. This includes the creation of APIs […]

First implemented in January 2023, the Bridge Healing Transitional Accommodation program offers transitional housing for people experiencing homelessness who have been discharged from hospital emergency departments. The program provides wraparound community supports such as mental health and addiction services to help clients transition to permanent housing. In doing so, the program bridges the gap between […]

Applications of quantum communication and computers range from cybersecurity to vastly increased computational capability. In most realizations of these, Quantum Memory (QM) is a key component. A promising platform for QM is Rare-Earth-Ion doped materials (characterized by their unique long-lived and well-isolated electronic states), with crystals made of molecular complexes being a recent appealing sub-category. […]

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is a description increasingly used to refer to aviation turbine fuel (jet fuel) that is produced from renewable and sustainable resources. The use of SAF for commercial air transport holds the promise of reducing the fossil fuel footprint of this industry. However, in North America it is at present not legal […]
