Infrared spectroscopy is a fundamental technique to study novel materials ranging from medicine to semiconductor industry. Regular infrared sources can provide very limited spatial resolution for infrared microscopy experiments. Currently, this limitation can be overcome with the use of synchrotron sources. A recently discovered and now commercially available alternative light source is the Quantum Cascade […]

Histopathology is the study and examination of tissue slides under magnification and is the definitive diagnosis for many diseases including cancer. With the advent of whole-slide scanners and image management software systems, computational pathology tools can be created to measure disease in an efficient and objective manner. This is in contrast to the labourious and […]

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the deadliest form of human brain tumors, systematically recurring despite multimodal treatment. As a consequence, the average patient survival is less than 15 months, and is thought to be linked with the presence of brain tumor stem cells (BTSCs) that are implicated in treatment resistance. GBM BTSCs are radiotherapy and chemotherapy […]

Data collection, recording, and monitoring meteorological, hydrological data is very critical worldwide. Metrological/Hydrological stations usually have a variety of sensors and nstruments whick are often manufactured by different companies that are set to work with other products of those manufacturers. However, each manufacturer indirectly prefers to set each sensor/instruments with its only other products. This […]

The benefit of electronic patient management systems within hospitals has been previously demonstrated through enhanced communication and collaboration between departments. However many hospitals within the Canadian healthcare system do not currently use electronic tracking systems. Furthermore, the implementation of these systems has been challenging leading to poor adoption of these technologies resulting in limited benefit. […]
