The increasing need for environmental protection together with the concerns over the future availability of petrochemical feedstock have led to the design and development of new bio-based chemicals and materials using renewable resources. Lignin is the second most abundant natural renewable polymer after cellulose. The lignin content in woody stem various between 15%-40% and it […]

D’un point de vue historique, le projet de recherche s’intéresse aux études produites lors du renouveau de la philosophie kantienne dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle en Allemagne. D’un point de vue thématique, le projet porte sur le cadre logique et psychologique qui déterminent et limitent les connaissances auxquelles peuvent prétendre accéder les êtres […]

This research project is intended to assess the efficacy of thin film reactors in achieving disinfection of opaque fluids (juices, milk, and wine). These opaque fluids present new challenges for reactor testing and modeling. A thin film reactor will be implemented and its performance will be evaluated against opaque fluids. Consequently numerical modeling will be […]

There is more to Artificial Intelligence than the algorithm. Intelligent systems must also consider how data is acquired, trade-offs between algorithmic approaches, and what action is taken based upon algorithmic decisions. Lunar Medical, Inc. performs research and development in the area of intelligent and operational space medicine. This internship will investigate the full range of […]

Sanofi-Pasteur is developing new vaccine formulations that need to be evaluated on their efficacy and potency. Traditionally, the use of animal models to predict human immunity has been accepted as the best way to select vaccine formulations. However, animal models can be costly and time-prohibitive, and the assays employed to assess vaccine efficacy and potency […]

This project will complete an urgently needed feasibility study linking researchers and graduate students from the University of Guelph with the Lucy Maud Montgomery Museum and Literary Centre (LMMMLC) in Norval. Together, this team of researchers and community partners will define current best practices in museum design to create a plan for the LMMMLC to […]

The Ubiquitous Health Technology Lab (UbiLab) will explore the development of a data integration framework and recommendation for associated standards that aims at combining data from (1) smart home systems, (2) AAL or IoT for health technology, (3) mHealth, and (4) wearables. Important areas of data management will be explored, as for example security and […]

Conduct risk management is a topic of great importance to financial service firms. Misconduct from staff members in financial institutions can result in substantial costs. However, compared to other types of risk faced by financial institutions (e.g. credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk), conduct risk and the related reputational risk have been understudied. One of […]

Notre principal objectif est de […]

Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of cholesterol, fat and immune cells deposits in large arteries. In the body, the main inflammatory modulators are called immune cells. We have recently discovered that a type of immune cell called marginal zone B (MZB) cells protect from atherosclerosis (Nus, Nat Med 2017). In response […]

The development of environment-friendly freezing technologies to contaminated water is a potential solution for water treatment in regions with cold weather conditions and vulnerable to anthropogenic impact. The results of laboratory tests fulfilled by Core Geoscience Services Inc. on the removal of mine-impacted water species through ice formation along with other publicly available data will […]
