Using Multi-Material 3D Printing to Strengthen Biocomposites with Superhydrophobic Plating

This project will focus on reinforcing biocomposite materials with a superhydrophobic plating to help improve the mechanical properties and industrial feasibility. Biocomposites are currently being widely researched because of their numerous advantages over materials traditionally used in manufacturing such as being easily recyclable, being made from materials which are found abundantly in nature, and having […]

Comparative Analysis of Sexually Transmitted Infections and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Wastewater: A Transcontinental Wastewater-based Epidemiology Study Between Canadian and Japanese Communities

It is estimated that more than 1 million cases of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are acquired globally each day and significantly impact sexual and reproductive health. Existing STI outbreak surveillance methods rely largely on clinical reporting which can underestimate the scale of community outbreaks, primarily due to asymptomatic cases and patient test avoidance resulting from […]

Deploying GABA metabolism to boost plant immunity to phytopathogens: From fundamental research to practical application

?-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a non-protein amino acid that has recently been discovered to play an important role in plant-pathogen interactions. In this proposal, we will comprehensively investigate the potential of GABA metabolism to boost plant immunity against fungal and bacterial pathogens using tomato and Arabidopsis as model plant systems. The effectiveness of exogenous applications […]

Advance directives at the end of life in people with cancer in palliative care

In Colombia, advance directives are a right regulated by the health system. However, little is known about the implementation of advance directives in clinical practice and from the perspective of cancer patients. This is why this study seeks to know the experiences with the implementation of advance directives in a group of cancer patients in […]

Advancing the Cryptanalysis of the HPPK-THR Public Key Cryptosystem

The Homomorphic Polynomial Public Key over Two Hidden Rings (HPPK-THR) is a new method of encryption developed by Quantropi to secure communications against advances in quantum computing. While highly efficient and comparing excellently against rival encryption schemes HPPK-THR was only recently developed in 2022. It thus still needs thorough investigation to show its strong security […]

Evaluating the Short-Term Implementation of CWELCC from an Equity Perspective

The Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) agreements are part of a recent policy by the Canadian government. The goals of CWELCC are to increase spending on and access to early childhood education and care (ECEC) across the country. Children from low-income families receive the most benefits from access to high quality ECEC, past […]

Towards Developing an Optimal Fluorescent Protein-Based Extracellular Glucose Biosensor

Optogenetics, or the process of controlling biological processes through light and specialized proteins, is a revolutionary technology that allows for remarkable scientific advancement. Metabolic processes in the brain, and the role of glucose, are under-studied, despite their connections to a wide range of debilitating diseases. Some fluorescent protein-based biosensors are available presently for optogenetic applications, […]
