Design of Novel Self-Cooling Can Systems

Temperature control is very important to a modern day society. Certain beverages, such as soda pop, alcoholic beverages, and even water are refrigerated so that they are more refreshing to drink. This project objective is to design novel environmentally benign and emission-free self-cooling beverage cans. Two different systems with different cooling approached are considered. The […]

Modelling the dry deposition of atmospheric pollutants from an aluminum smelter in the Kitimat Valley, British Columbia

Sulphur dioxide is an important atmospheric pollutant that can negatively impact the surrounding environment through the processes of wet and dry deposition. Although wet deposition can be measured directly in the field, dry deposition must be estimated from air concentrations and modelled dry deposition velocity. The versatile “big-leaf” deposition model is frequently used to estimate […]

Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Application in Formulation of Novel Material Compositions and Visualization Design for Intensive Outreach and Education for Denture and Anti-snore Devices

Denture assemblies are oral appliances or prosthetic devices to replace missing teeth and restore oral function, speech, and aesthetics. The dentures market is driven by the senior population and demand, which is expected to grow by 68% in the next 20 years according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information. This demographic also often suffer […]

An Experimental and Numerical Investigation into Phase Change Material Thermal Storage using High Voltage Electric Fields

The project entails an experimental and numerical investigation into the effect of adding seeding particles into a Phase Change Material (PCM) thermal storage system under the application of Electrohydrodynamics (EHD).In previous experiments we have seen an increase in heat transfer enhancement for the same applied electric field when we have added seeding particles. The objective […]

Refining Earth’s first exit from oxygenation

The first initial buildup of oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere – the Great Oxidation Event – started around 2.5 billion years ago, where oxygen may have reached levels comparable to today’s atmosphere. Following its debut, atmospheric oxygen levels quickly crashed, coinciding with a contraction of the global biosphere. The geologic time period of the Orosirian […]

Development of genetic engineering in microalgae

Biopharmaceuticals are pharmaceuticals that are produced in biological systems, as opposed to being made synthetically using purely chemical approaches. Biopharmaceuticals are becoming increasingly important today, as biological systems are very good at making pharmaceuticals with very precise activity within people and with fewer side effects. However, most of the conventional approaches used to make biopharmaceuticals […]

SSE – QV Studio – Pritam Priyadarsi

We are pioneering a state-of-the-art instrument that enables 3D imaging of single electron spins in individual spin-labeled biomolecules with unparalleled nanometer spatial resolution in volumes as small as (50-nm)³. This innovative capability allows for the direct determination of coordination among spin-labeled molecules, providing unique insights into the structure of biomolecular complexes that existing technologies cannot […]

Suppressing the Scarring of Burn Wounds with Genetically Educated Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Large burn wounds are a leading cause of morbidity and a major burden on Canadian patients and the health care system. Burns can be clinically treated by transplanting donor mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) that suppress inflammation and regenerate the recipient tissue. However, the stiff culture surfaces of bioreactors stress-activate MSCs during expansion into scar-promoting ‘myofibroblasts’ […]

Dream Worlds: Ecosystem of Exploration

This project will develop novel STEAM education kits and curriculum for classroom and after-school program use, based on longstanding LASG experience and practice with ‘metastable structures’—those which balance stability and adaptability. Metastability provides a potently different way of thinking about our constructions and a more symbiotic relationship with our environment. Participants will use these kits […]
