This community-based action research project seeks to support visible minority newcomer women in establishing and succeeding in entrepreneurship activities, while identifying the challenges and opportunities they face while trying to start their own businesses. The benefits that this research is expected to bring to the Women’s Economic Council are to better understand visible minority newcomer […]

The exponential growth of e-commerce in conjunction with threats pertaining to the drug trade, the online pharmacy, and terrorism are creating a significant need for inspection sites (i.e. postal processing centers) to upgrade and expand their capabilities. Therefore new solutions are needed. In the frame work of this project, our goal is to develop a […]

Performance BioFilaments Inc. (PBI) is focused on the development of commercial applications for cellulose filaments (CF), one of the world’s most exciting and abundant biomaterials. Cellulose filaments have unique performance-enhancing properties with significant potential to improve a wide array of consumer and industrial products. Derived from wood fibre – a renewable natural resource – cellulose […]

Vaccine antigen production is a process that entails numerous variables. In order to have a consistent and robust process, monitoring of process parameters and controlling output variables within a certain range is the best practice. To accomplish this objective, analytical tools are used, on-line, off-line, at line. Real time monitoring of the processes is advantageous […]

Changes in the intestinal microbial composition (dysbiosis) during development have an impact on the progression of neuro-inflammatory and neuronal degenerative disorders. Probiotics have been shown to reduce these effects. However, the current literature lacks research on intestinal dysbiosis during the maturation of the intestine and the brain and does not recognize the sexual dimorphism of […]

The telecommunication industry is rapidly evolving towards providing faster services to accommodate the global surge in network demand. The next-generation (5G) network aims to increase the current network speed by more than twentyfold. This transition brings enormous benefits for the economy and society. A main challenge faced by network providers, however, is that the existing […]

Able Innovations is creating novel technology that eliminates the need for human involvement in transfers of individuals with restricted mobility replacing existing sling transfers systems that require significant physical labour by clinical staff that frequently results in staff injury and missed work. Sling systems are also undignified for the patient and can injure the patient […]

Vibration analysis is probably the most widely used technique to perform health monitoring of mechanical machinery. Specifically, we are interested in monitoring ‘Vibrating screens’, machines that are for example used by the mining industry to sort aggregate by size. Over the last 10 years the research group of Dr. v. Mohrenschildt has developed hardware, software […]

Different states’ laws and law enforcement capacities meet in border areas. The legal and regulatory differences, the distinct police and administrative capabilities involved, as well as the degree of commitment of state authorities, create rent potentials that are central to border dynamics and the frequent instability that prevails in border regions. This has been traced […]

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-ionizing modality; therefore, there is no known damage on human tissue as opposed to ionizing imaging modalities, such as X-ray. Interventional procedures take long time and in order to prevent ionization, interventional MRI is very promising. On the other hand, there are safety concerns because of the possible temperature […]

Quantum computers are new technologies that harness the power of quantum mechanics to store and manipulate information. Recent years have seen accelerated progress on their development, and while their potential benefits are significant, we must now prepare the cryptographic infrastructure underlying cybersecurity to ensure the continued safety of our data in the face on an […]

The main goal of the proposed work is to develop an ultra-thin and selective GO membrane capable of separating water vapor or steam from air. For this purpose, a suitable membrane supports required to hold the GO sheets. Therefore, the GO sheets will be deposited on various membrane supports and their performance in terms of […]
