Huntington’s disease (HD) is a genetic neurodegenerative disease characterized by cognitive, motor, and psychiatric disturbance ending in death 15 to 20 years after the onset of the first symptoms. The genetic predictability of HD makes it potentially the most tractable of the neurodegenerative diseases for early intervention, with the optimum time for the introduction of […]

Dental light-curing units (LCUs) are used every day in most dental offices. If this LCU is misused, this dental work can fail prematurely causing pain, post-operative sensitivity, pulpal death, and economic hardship. In Canada, dental curing lights are Class 1 medical devices, and Health Canada does not test dental curing lights before they are used […]

The aim of this research project is to observe the difference in function between the dominant and non-dominant lower limb in elite youth hockey athletes. Further, to observe how this difference is altered when the athlete is fatigued. Reducing or eliminating limb imbalances is thought to have a positive outcome on reducing injury risk, ensuring […]

The goal of this study is to identify mechanisms of microbial decomposition activity over the restoration periods of peatlands, which play an important role in carbon storage, thereby contributing to improvement of development of ‘carbon neutral technologies’ and incomplete ‘global carbon budget’. Real-time qPCR will be used to quantify the abundance of 16S rRNA (Bacteria), […]

The research project is focused on the study of TERRA (Telomeric Repeat containing RNA) dynamics in cancer cells to understand the relationship between cancer and telomere. TERRA long noncoding RNAs have been proposed to play important roles in telomere biology. However, the dynamics of TERRA molecules are yet to be elucidated. Indeed, in human cells, […]

The research project will look at modes and types of localized knowledge on the span of diseases under the umbrella of dementia. The project will try to detect and compare modes of knowledge transition, dispersion, and production about dementia prevention and early detection within and across two different cultural and social settings: the Canadian and […]

This project examines multidisciplinary methodologies in adult Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) education, particularly focusing on strategies involving dialogic processes. Dialogic modes in learning broadly refer to activities of collaborative meaning-making through shared expression and communication rather than monologic processes, whereby fixed meaning is transferred through a one-way approach. As the demand for more conscientious […]

L’impact bénéfique de l’activité physique dans le traitement de nombreuses pathologies est largement démontré et son importance dans la réadaptation cardiaque est avérée. En parallèle, l’utilisation de différents biomarqueurs comme évaluation des processus physiopathologiques relatifs à la maladie coronarienne et l’IC est de plus en plus répandue. Cependant, il n’existe pas à ce jour « […]

Canada has been glaciated many times in the last 2.5 million years and large ice sheets many kilometres thick have profoundly affected Canadian landscapes by eroding rocks and moving sediment. Using data from modern ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland, glacial geologists have very recently recognized the imprint of fast flowing corridors of ice with […]

The Arctic climate is changing three times faster than any other eco-region in the world. As the climate warms, flowering times of many species are shifting which can affect plant productivity and reproductive success. Flowering time responses to climate change among species is diverse. The diversity of responses has implications for tundra plant community structure […]
