Land-dwelling slugs are routinely exposed to cold or freezing temperature during the winter. Some species of slugs can even survive partial ice formation within their bodies. How they survive low temperatures is largely a mystery as ice formation is damaging, and they lack external protection like shells. This project aims to determine the lower temperature […]

Hydrogels can hold many times their weight in water and consequentially find a diverse range of applications, ranging from biomedical applications to photonics and adhesion. However, their moisture content is not easily controlled; in wet environments, water easily enters the hydrogel, and in dry environments, water in the hydrogel quickly evaporates. This leads to swollen […]

Concerns over climate change have led public and private institutions to change the way they conduct business. Initiatives include ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and working toward a net zero carbon society. Recycling and composting programs have been around for decades, with the goal to reduce the amount of solid waste entering the landfills. […]

Many of the flavours found in whisky and other distilled spirits are derived from alcoholic fermentation, most commonly by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Given the biodiversity of different yeast strains and species, there is an opportunity to identify strains that can produce alcoholic beverages with unique flavours and aromas. The Measday lab has isolated hundreds […]

Many skilled women workers are going through unemployment phase after Covid-19. There few are under employment. These skilled, and educated professionals are facing domestic work pressure, and economic challenges, where the secauses unhappiness in their life. This Covid-19have impacted badly to the life of IndoCanadians, particularly women as a vulnerable group. However, this research addresses […]

The goal of the project is the development of copper for Rapidia’s innovative paste extrusion process. Copper is a highly sought-after material with unique properties that has a wide range of applications in various industries including biomedical, electrical, manufacturing, and energy storage. The ability to 3D print copper parts on our system will thus have […]

Companies with a strong online presence are seeking to increase users’ engagement by adding recommendation and prediction algorithms to their websites. These algorithms can for example predict which users’ actions are more likely to happen and which users’ actions are likely more profitable. Companies use such algorithms to tailor the content of their websites based […]

The objective of this project is to better understand the impact prevalent mental health challenges have on cognition. For this pilot study, neurophysiological electroencephalography (EEG) will be investigated in three different mental health population groups: those suffering from Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), depression, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Portable EEG will be used to assess […]

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is ushering in a new era of technology for assistive hearing devices. One example is HeardThat, a smartphone app that uses AI to enhance speech comprehension. It helps people carry on conversations more easily in the presence of background noise. This is something that many struggle with even if […]

We will study the efforts of traditional physicians to preserve their Indigenous healing system against the oppressive forces of western colonialism. Ayurveda is one of the oldest holistic healing systems in the world and has been practiced in India for more than 2,000 years. However, under the British rule and the spread of colonial medicine […]

Successful partnerships between non-profit organizations and funders are fundamental for organizations’ abilities to concentrate on their mission, and for founders to see their philanthropic investments align with their values and make real impacts. Matching founders and organizations has traditionally been done informally through personal connections, networks, and expensive prospecting software and databases. Just like a […]

The aim of the internship is to develop strategies for commercialization of radical, generic technologies developed by Exro in the area of clean technology. They have developed and patented. a variable input electrical generator that could be very efficiently used in producing electricity for undetermined electricity generation levels from clean tech sources like wind turbine […]
