Afin de limiter l’impact environnemental de l’industrie de la construction, le recyclage des bétons sous forme de granulats recyclés pour la production de nouveau béton est une pratique de plus en plus courante. Néanmoins, il n’existe pas de marché pour les particules les plus fines, notamment en raison des réglementations strictes en vigueur. L’option proposée […]

Les sources et niveaux de bruits sous-marins d’origine humaine, le bruit anthropique, n’ont cessé de croitre depuis les cinquante dernières années. Parmi les activités humaines générant ce bruit, la navigation commerciale figure parmi les principales contributrices et le bruit qu’elle émet est principalement généré par l’hélice et la machinerie des navires. Il existe des technologies […]

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent organic compounds that are called as “forever chemicals” in the environment. These chemical cause stress on the environment and human health. Therefore, study on the analysis of PFAS is necessary for the environmental quality and sustainable development. The research project “Analysis of PFAS by liquid chromatography with triple […]

In Canada today, more than 80% of stroke survivors face the enduring challenge of long-term functional disability, significantly impacting their quality of life. The integration of brain stimulation with post-stroke rehabilitation holds great promise as an intervention. A key factor contributing to this variability is the exclusive targeting of the primary motor cortex, overlooking the […]

Cell population dynamics can be described by cell population balance models. These models can be utilized for model-based control design but major aspects, which have not been captured in these models so far, are the regulation and mutational adaptation of the cells in long-term cultivations. Due to the stochastic nature of biological diversity and mutational […]

The standard chemotherapy treatments for pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) now achieve high cure rates. However, such aggressive chemotherapy in children has significant consequences on their quality of life. Moreover, the prognosis in case of relapse is very poor, with treatment resistance suggesting that chemotherapy fails to target leukemia stem cells. The objective of […]

The Centre for Local Innovation & Collaboration (CLIC) is a shared, co-creative partnership between OCAD University, the City of Richmond Hill, and eCampusOntario (the funder). Graduate researchers from OCAD University (graduate researchers and faculty) will work with businesses to scope out innovation projects and together identify key areas of need and optimize opportunities for innovative […]

This research project entails a comprehensive series of tasks aimed at enhancing the functionality and effectiveness of a pediatric ankle exoskeleton, specifically designed to provide gait assistance to children with locomotor disabilities. The project encompasses crucial elements such as technical validation, design validation, and the refinement of the control strategy. Throughout these endeavors, our primary […]

An innovative learning platform is currently under development for Canadian market, but localization is necessary. Mathematics and Science subjects for Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) is chosen to initialize this localization process. In recent months, AI technologies, particularly ChatGPT, demonstrated an astonishing potential to the world. Creating contents for social media is one of well […]

In an era where emerging zoonotic diseases pose a constant threat to biodiversity and public health, there is an urgent need for innovative and robust pathogen surveillance systems. Freshwater mussels, often overlooked in the realm of disease surveillance, may hold the key to revolutionizing our understanding of pathogen dynamics and providing early warning signs of […]

La synthèse d’une protéine dans la cellule comporte plusieurs étapes, dont les principales sont la transcription du gène correspondant en un ARN messager et la traduction de celui-ci par le ribosome. On pourrait penser que le nombre de copies ainsi produites est indépendant de la séquence en acides aminés de la protéine – qui dicte […]

This project seeks to enhance the impact of leadership training and development by evaluating the effectiveness of a digital program tailored for early-career leaders. Despite the vital role of leadership training, its success often remains uncertain. This research program, spanning two years, aims to bridge this gap by conducting three studies. Study 1 will validate […]
