Introduced Phragmites australis (common reed) is one of the most invasive plants in North America. The weed reduces native plant and animal diversity, disrupts ecosystem processes, and poses a threat to the native North American subspecies of common reed, P. australis ssp. americanus. Conventional methods for controlling introduced P. australis such as herbicides, cutting, and […]

Across Canada, the amateur sport system continues to face mounting criticism and dissatisfaction with the traditional delivery of sport participation opportunities. As result, many young Canadian athletes are abandoning the sport system in favour of opportunities offered by private enterprises. Thus, the sport system has subsequently been fractured due to a decreasing number of participants, […]

This study will investigate the ability of an injectable vaccine to reduce illness and death due to pneumonia in lambs born and raised in a feedlot setting. If the vaccine is effective, it will improve the welfare of the lambs on the farm where the study is conducted, reduce antibiotic usage and costs, and improve […]

Preliminary data analysis has indicated that many prestressed concrete elements have experimentally determined shear strengths which are substantially higher than the shear strengths predicted by the related provisions in the Canadian concrete design code. While these results represent no risk to public safety, actual strengths which are significantly higher than predicted strengths result in considerably […]

Neutron beams are versatile and irreplaceable 21st century research tools. Following the closure of the National Universal Research (NRU) reaction in 2018, Canadian researchers and industry lost key neutron beam capabilities for industrial Research and Development and fundamental research alike. The proposed project is a effort to rebuild neutron beam capabilities in Canada. The design […]

Understanding the degree to which habitat disturbance affects fragile and biodiverse herpetological communities is critical to mitigating damage from future anthropogenic and natural environmental disturbances. This is especially true if the disturbances are an ever-growing green energy source in the energy sector, wind energy, and an increasing natural disturbance, wildfire. Few studies have examined how […]

The application of road salt to our roads, parking lots and sidewalks, is causing long-term corrosion to infrastructure and vehicles, and damage to the environment. Various alternative de-icing salts have been proposed but a holistic understanding of their ice-melting performance, corrosion effects and environmental impacts is limited. The goal of the broader project is to […]

Pelvic floor disorders, such as pelvic organ prolapse (POP), negatively affects millions of women each year. POP is the descent of the vagina resulting in symptoms of vaginal bulging, pelvic pressure or heaviness, pain, and incontinence. A nonsurgical option for POP symptom relief is the use of pessaries, removable vaginal prosthetics; however, current pessary designs […]
