Enhancing Quarter Horse Welfare Through Novel Identification of ß2-agonist Use

A readily identifiable biomarker for ß2-agonist use is desperately needed to maintain competition integrity and ensure welfare of performance horses. Our overarching hypothesis is that chronic ß2-agonist administration induces an energetic switch in skeletal muscle, resulting in impaired mitochondrial function and elevated oxidative stress which, in turn, up-regulates a single or group of metabolites that […]

Modeling Electrical Conductivity in Carbon-Filled Polymer Composites – Collaboration Western/KIT

The main objective of the proposed research is to characterize and develop simulation models for carbon-filled polymer nanocomposites, using key morphological properties such as filler orientation and spatial dispersion obtained from molding simulation tools to predict the electrical conductivity of the resulting composite. This type of integrated modeling, where processing simulations inform conductivity predictions, is […]

Inflation Technique in Fermionic Networks

This project explores how different kinds of quantum systems can produce different patterns of correlations in networks; i.e. when several parties perform experiments on shared resources. A famous result known as Bell’s theorem showed that quantum physics allows correlations that cannot be explained using classical models without communication between the parties. Recent research suggests that […]

Tracking interchain interactions in copolymers.

The research project is the continuation of the collaboration between the Christopher Rowley group at Carleton University in Canada and the Mateusz Brela group at Jagiellonian University in Poland. This research project tackles the continuous need for an accurate description of the chemical structure’s role in the physicochemical properties of the final material. As the […]

Holland Marsh Zoning Harmonization Project for King Township and Bradford West Gwillimbury

The zoning harmonization project for King Township and Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury (BWG) aims to advance regulatory clarity and long-term agricultural viability within the Holland Marsh, one of Ontario’s most significant specialty crop areas. Although the Marsh operates as a single, integrated agricultural system, it is divided between two municipalities with distinct zoning by […]

Advanced numerical modelling tools for entanglement harvesting with superconducting devices

The project “Advanced numerical modelling tools for entanglement harvesting with superconducting devices” is dedicated to developing tools for a foundational experimental test of quantum entanglement within the framework of quantum field theory. While this theory serves as a cornerstone of modern physics, significant questions regarding the description of quantum measurements and entanglement remain. This research […]
