L’objectif du projet consiste à déterminer l’impact de la culture in vitro à long terme sur le génome du cannabis. Il s’agit d’effectuer des sous cultures toutes les deux semaines et d’extraire de l’ADN pour la séquencer de façon à obtenir de l’information sur le taux de mutations après plusieurs générations. La culture in vitro […]

Critical to development of successful strategies to improve short- and long-term growth and health of pigs is to understand the impact of dietary factors on intestinal health of newly-weaned pigs. This will become increasingly important as additional pressure is placed on the livestock industry to replace animal-based protein sources, include higher levels of plant and […]

Efforts to sequester atmospheric carbon in soil require effective monitoring methods. Soil water content confounds the conventional application of infrared absorption. Raman spectroscopy contends well with water, but suffers from the overwhelming fluorescence typically encountered in the analysis of soil samples. Here we propose to combine an modulated two-colour illumination scheme with antiphase lock-in detection […]

The broad objectives of this project are: I. To reduce the risk of emerging infectious diseases related to poultry; and II. To improve Alberta poultry industry productivity and profitability To reach these broad objectives we will address 3 specific objectives: 1) Determine what the knowledge needs of the poultry industry are and how knowledge is […]

Dehydrated corn silage is produced by drying corn silage to a moisture content of approximately 10%. It is being exported to Japan to be used as a forage for dairy cows, and its market is expected to expand in the future. However, its feeding values have not been studied. The objective of the proposed project […]

The goal of this research project is to identify where Indigenous Knowledge differs from how the province of Ontario understands and manages winter moose habitat, in order to better protect moose populations in the Northeast Superior region. Additionally, new and improved forest inventory data in the region will be investigated as a potential tool to […]

Market research – Research North American and European cannabis industry / Bee and honey products and by-products (food products, lipbalms, topicals, etc.), identify price points, competitors, target consumers, consumer needs and preferences. Intern will gather as much information as possible from online sources as possible. Sales Approach – Identifying and contacting retailers (NL Cannabis, OCS, […]

Climate warming may have resulted in altered initiation and termination dates of the primary growth (e.g. phenological development) and the secondary growth (e.g. stem xylem growth) of trees in the boreal forest, consequently impacting wood quality, forest growth and productivity, and carbon sequestration. This project will analyze the intra-annual wood formation and phenological data collected […]

Lake Utopia Paper is interested in developing and improving the birch NSSC pulping process for the production of corrugating medium. The primary objective of this project is to develop delignification and sulfonation models for process control of NSSC pulping of birch. In addition, the relationship between the NSSC pulping process and the properties of the […]

There is a growing disconnect between the areas of focus in innovation research occurring at universities and the practical concerns, needs and direction of the animal production industry. Research has shown that ongoing communication and interaction between researchers and end-users is necessary, both before and during research, in order to ensure that research conducted is […]

Sur certaines îles du lac Duparquet en Abitibi-Témiscamingue, nous retrouvons une population de cèdres blancs (Thuja occidentalis L.) vieux de 800 ans et plus. Ce sont les plus vieux arbres du Québec et de la forêt boréale nord-américaine. Véritable mémoire du passé, ces spécimens peuvent nous renseigner sur les adaptations des arbres pour survivre au […]

Academic conferences are important forums for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to exchange knowledge and address real-world challenges. Especially for early career scholars and scientists in parts of the global South, attending conferences is a vital part of their career development. However, going to a conference often involves long-distance air travel, so the benefits of attending […]
