This project aims to conduct research towards the development and implementation of photovoltaic energy generating windows. Through the use of window coatings, the windows of an everyday home will be converted to a source of generating energy to power the home. This research will take us a step closer to our goals of net-zero by […]

A new curing light, PinkWave (Apex, Racine, WI) was introduced last year (https://vistaapex.com/pinkwave). This light is unique because it has four distinct wavelength bands that deliver red (625 – 750 nm), infrared (800 – 900 nm), blue, and violet light. The manufacturer also claims that this ‘quad-wave’ light can reduce polymerization shrinkage stress.[13] Initial reports […]

This grant application is submitted as a matching grant for a ResearchNS funded project to support post-secondary student success for former youth in care. Canada is a signatory on a variety of national and international declarations on education as a human right, it remains unclear how these contribute to improved access to post-secondary education (PSE) […]

Industrial hemp – grown for stem fibers and seeds – is a sustainable high-yielding and environmentally friendly crop with typically, low cannabinol content. Industrial hemp is used to make over 25,000 green products and have the potential to sequester between 10 and 22 t/ha of carbon dioxide emissions. However, industrial hemp productivity and quality are […]
