The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria is a major threat to our ability to treat bacterial infections. The beta-lactams, a group that includes the penicillins, are a widely used group of antibiotics. However, bacteria can become resistant to beta-lactams by producing beta-lactamases, enzymes that inactivate these antibiotics. There has been great success in […]

In an existing geothermal power plant found in Aydin, Turkey, three parabolic solar trough collectors have been installed to develop a hybrid solar-geothermal power plant. The main reason for such a hybridization is mainly to compensate the inefficiencies in the geothermal power plant due to changes in the ambient temperature. The parabolic solar trough collectors […]

This project focuses on the ways in which ancient thinkers conceptualized the notions of “body”, “soul” and their relationships, as well as the receptions these concepts had in classical, modern and contemporary posterity. This will allow studying the physical and mental dimension of the explanations produced by ancient thinkers for the phenomenon of life, mind, […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

This research will study an efficient method for extracting germanium from waste fiber optics cables. Germanium is widely used in optical fibers, infrared optics, and solar energy industry. Optical fiber is the major application of germanium. Germanium possesses various properties that can make positive impact on these fields. The demand for germanium will increase with […]

Web page classification is the process of assigning a web page to one or more predefined categories and it is one of the essential techniques of web mining. Web page classification identifies what type of web page we are extracting data from and can help search engines to effectively deal with and rank web pages […]

Lunanos Inc. and Ryerson University’s School of Graphic Communications Management are seeking to collaborate on a six-month project to develop an innovative colour-changing indicator label that will be used in healthcare facilities to track the cleaning of various equipment and surfaces to reduce the frequency of healthcare-associated infections (HAI). In Canada, 1 in 10 patients […]

This project aims to develop a novel therapeutic drug aimed at revolutionizing the treatment of severe cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and sepsis. Our project focuses on the modification of the ADAMTS13 protein, an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the blood clotting process. In patients with severe CVD or sepsis, ADAMTS13 is rapidly degraded, leading […]

Sales-based CRM tools have given sales representatives the ability to utilize customer information and selling strategies to facilitate cross-selling and up-selling activities from inside the organization. This concept, known as “inside sales”, is a fast growing trend and its key success is reliant on how efficiently generated leads are managed. Leads are information about potential […]

This project revolves around creating a data analysis tool that combines socio-demographic metrics with indicators of park accessibility, focusing on Toronto, Canada. The goal is to closely examine and understand the disparities in access to urban parks among diverse groups of people. The research includes exploring various factors influencing green space accessibility, evaluating private park […]

Canada is a world leader in mineral exploration and mining technology, but the discovery of new mineral resources is declining. The development of new mineralogical tools which guide exploration is becoming increasingly important for the mining industry. This study will investigate the potential to use mineral chemistry to develop vectors around Au and Cu deposits […]

North American pet food industry utilizes predictive equations such as those including modified Atwater equations to estimate energy density. However research has shown these equations tend to overestimate energy which predisposes companion animals to be in positive energy balance and obese. One method for attaining better predictive energy density models would be to quantify net […]
