Sliced mushrooms have occasionally been recalled due to the recovery of Listeria monocytogenes from sampled product. As a consequence there is a need to introduce technologies that can reduce the risk of carriage of Listeria on sliced mushrooms. Due to the sensitive nature of mushrooms there are relatively few options in terms of decontamination technologies. […]

Construction companies spend significant amounts of resources on front end planning (FEP). The potential to obtain substantial benefits from a strategic implementation of front end planning practices across an entire portfolio have made the evaluation of FEP an important issue for both project leaders and scholars. The opportunity now exists to mine the constituent elements […]

1QBit is midway through our effort to create a software suite (Topological Quantum Architecture Design (TopQAD)) that automates quantum architecture design and enables you to study the impact of quantum algorithm and FTQC component design choices on resource requirements. It can be used to support scientific research, product development, and quantum computing policy and investment […]

Due to abundant reserves and environmental cleanliness, natural gas has introduced the environmentally friendly vehicles – natural gas-powered vehicles (NGVs), which have the potential of providing a solution to air quality problems. However, low volumetric energy density of natural gas results in NGVs’ short-range driving, inhibiting them from widespread adoption. A conformable pressure tank is […]

Fire safety remains a global challenge, especially for people with functional limitations who face additional barriers when evacuating buildings during emergencies. As populations age and accessibility improves, more people with disabilities use public buildings yet evacuation designs rarely reflect their needs. This project, conducted at Lund University, forms the first phase of a broader PhD […]

Goosechase is a Canadian platform that helps schools, nonprofits, and businesses run interactive, mission-based activities like onboarding, orientation, museum tours, and team training. Today, creating these experiences and checking large numbers of photo, video, and text submissions is slow and manual, especially in education, where safety and privacy are critical. This project will build AI […]

Unprecedented advances have been made in Radiation Therapy during the past two decades. High precision treatment plan is generated using sophisticated optimization methods, and treatment is delivered with complex intensity modulation techniques. Due to the complexity, the burden of Quality Assurance (QA) for modern radiotherapy has also increased dramatically. Many staff and machine hours are […]
