Cancer is a devastating disease known to be treated with chemicals causing severe side effects in the advanced stages of the disease. Among these chemicals are a group of antibiotics, called anthracyclines, used to treat a variety of cancers, including breast cancer (BC). Doxorubicin, one of the preferred anthracyclines used in BC treatment, is particularly […]

Objectives: Manitoba Hydro Telecom (MHT) has proposed the development of a state-of-the-art optical communication network using Reconfigurable Optical Add Drop Multiplexers (ROADM) employing Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM). MHT will use ROADMs compliant with currently established industry standards such as ITU G.709 and G.8032. ROADMs with WDM methods with 50 GHz channel spacing enable up to […]

More and more small and medium enterprises these days rely on continuous cash flow for the survival of their business. Current pandemic has made their survival with reduced business activities worse by relying on government support and brought down many businesses creating domino effect of joblessness and adverse economic impacts. The overall goal of this […]

Currently, a gap exists between basic and applied research in Streamlined Health Care Delivery. Using AI, and QDoc software we would like to work closely in collaboration with the researchers to develop AI tools that work on Streamlining the Primary Care between Physician and Patient. To be able to do that, it requires access to […]

This research project will examine the diets of two geographically separate populations of Arctic char in proximity to the communities of Rankin Inlet and Naujaat, Nunavut. Using methods of stomach content, stable isotope, and highly branched isoprenoid analysis, we will determine whether the diets differ between the two separate populations. In addition, we will explore […]

As a reinsurer, the partner organization backs risky and/or high face-value policies that are otherwise detrimental to insurance companies to underwrite. However, currently the available information on the policyholder is based on prior information stored in the company databases and on previous policies held or claims administered and/or what is presented on the forms provided […]

The feasibility of composting alum phosphate sludge that is produced in the process of phosphorous removal at wastewater lagoons is investigated in this project. The sludge is produced in an innovative phosphorous removal system that is being tested in a pilot scale at the RM of Taché, MB. The dewatered sludge will be stockpiled in […]

In a world where animal health and welfare are receiving increasing attention, it is crucial that we understand and support livestock farmers who are under an incredible amount of stress. This research is designed to start a supportive discussion and to collect information on the topic of farmer mental health in the beef and dairy […]

This project aims to develop a method for accurately assessing the enzymatic activity of large libraries of compounds. To do this we will employ computational modeling of small molecules in an ensemble of protein crystal structures. The results of this work will lead to a better understanding of the relationship between docked poses and crystal […]

The Loony is a symbol, recognized by all Canadians. While it looks golden, the Royal Canadian Mint is producing its yellow color with an alloy coating on the coin surface. Yellow bronze is a hard and esthetically pleasing material that can be used as a coating for such coins. Internationally, yellow bronze coatings are predominantly […]
