This project is motivated by a significant demand for eco-friendly and recyclable composite structures for lightweight spoolable composite piping for oil, gas and water applications. Therefore, this partnership (with Flexpipe at Mattr Infrastructure Technologies) aims to determine an application envelope for multilayer spoolable larger-diameter composite piping by considering lightweight fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite structures. In addition, […]

Primary liver cancer (PLC) is one of the fastest growing cancer in Canada and is a heavy global burden. To efficiently allocate the health care resource to the patients with PLC, outcome and cost analysis of the patients with PLC may be a right direction. In order to obtain enough information to accurately assess the […]

Microneedles are small sub-millimeter projections that allow for pain free access to the dermal layers of the skin. This allows for enhanced drug delivery and biosensing capabilities that are much more accessible and comfortable for the patient. This work aims to improve the capabilities of a solid metal microneedle system designed for use in electrical […]

There is an urgent need to better understand large-scale disruptions, including the pandemic, and related workplace health policy changes impact the health and wellness of fly-in fly-out (FIFO) workers, who already experience high levels of stress and anxiety due to their unique work arrangement. During the pandemic, companies made drastic changes to ensure employee safety […]

The primary source of green hydrogen, faces several barriers. One of the main issues is that it relies heavily on costly and scarce noble metals, namely platinum, iridium, and ruthenium. The utilization of these metals brings into question their supply chain availability, sustainability in green hydrogen projects, and overall cost. On the other hand, AEM […]

Community Integration is a key indicator of long-term stability and well-being. However, few people with experiences of homelessness experience belonging within a community. This research project aims to discover the reasons for this disconnection through facilitated focus groups with individuals with lived experience and offer new opportunities for exploring new ways of achieving community integration. […]

Recent studies have shown that the gut microbiome works as an organ of the human body which produces bioactive molecules and metabolites. Since the gut microbiome is in close interaction with the human internal environment and changes in the compositions of gut microbiota can impact host physiology through many pathways. Precise determination of gut microbiota […]
