When you go to the dentist and receive a white filling, this resin filling is hardened in the tooth using blue light from a dental curing light. Health Canada classifies curing lights as Class I Medical Devices, but they do not test if the manufacturer’s claims are correct. There are many different brands of lights […]

The general objective of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) for the purpose of enhancing patent generation and brainstorming processes across various domains. The project follows an agile project management approach, emphasizing continuous small releases. The project is important to XLSCOUT as it aims to enhance text clustering, […]

The cornea is a thin transparent tissue that protects the internal parts of the eye and refracts light onto the retina. Severe corneal damage can lead to irreversible scarring that prevents light from passing through the cornea, causing long-term vision loss. The best treatment for severe corneal damage is to transplant donor corneal tissue from […]

Seaweed aquaculture is an important and increasingly large part of the global economy, and, more recently, a potential solution to combat climate change. The element nitrogen is a key limiting resource for the growth of marine plants, including seaweed. Tracing and modeling nitrogen in the environment is challenging at large scales and requires substantial computational […]

The proposed project will investigate different nitrogen fertilizers in grain corn including products developed to release nitrogen more closely with when the crop demand is higher to reduce environmental impact. Results from the project will provide recommendations to growers regarding the best type, and the optimum rate and nitrogen split application timings of EENFs in […]

Medventions is a full-time 14 week paid program that allows students and new graduates to take part in physician-led, hospital-based fellowship training. Fellows come from different areas of study and will get hands on experience in a clinical setting with innovators and experienced mentors.

Music Therapy (MT) has the potential to support health and well-being of people with incurable diseases and limited life expectancy. Yet, it is a relatively underused service in Canada. There is a need for non-invasive and non-pharmacological treatment options in Palliative Care because such treatments can sometimes further exacerbate illness (e.g., drug interactions). Research has […]
