Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has emerged as an eminent technology to address today’s growing energy crisis and environmental issues. PEMFC technology faces multiple challenges before widespread commercialization. Water transport inside a PEMFC has a significant impact on the cell performance and durability. In this internship a numerical model is implemented to study the […]

?-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a non-protein amino acid that has recently been discovered to play an important role in plant-pathogen interactions. In this proposal, we will comprehensively investigate the potential of GABA metabolism to boost plant immunity against fungal and bacterial pathogens using tomato and Arabidopsis as model plant systems. The effectiveness of exogenous applications […]

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is a description increasingly used to refer to aviation turbine fuel (jet fuel) that is produced from renewable and sustainable resources. The use of SAF for commercial air transport holds the promise of reducing the fossil fuel footprint of this industry. However, in North America it is at present not legal […]

The Homomorphic Polynomial Public Key over Two Hidden Rings (HPPK-THR) is a new method of encryption developed by Quantropi to secure communications against advances in quantum computing. While highly efficient and comparing excellently against rival encryption schemes HPPK-THR was only recently developed in 2022. It thus still needs thorough investigation to show its strong security […]

Canada’s bioeconomy, utilizing renewable biological resources for producing materials and energy, holds promise for diversifying the nation’s economy. Pulp mills are integral to this shift, transforming wood fibers and residues into various high-value products, fostering innovation and sustainability. Key to this transition is understanding mill sustainability through life cycle assessment (LCA). However, there’s a notable […]

They include: Cherry Barbecue Sauce, Plum Ketchup, Peach Habanero Hot Sauce, Cherry Chipotle BBQ Sauce, Apricot Mustard, and Pear Jerk Sauce. We have a very strong presence […]

Since 1991 SMART Technologies has infused classrooms around the world with powerful interactive technologies, principally the “SMART Board” which sets a standard for interactive whiteboards. The SMART Board has been featured in many innovative designs for learning and instruction – some coming from academic research, and many from classroom teachers as they integrate touch boards […]

Despite the low rate of occurrence, inmate suicide is a tragedy that results in a loss of life and leads to a number of problems for the correctional institution. The goal of this project is to remotely monitor inmates in custody using radar technology in order to detect suicide attempts. Current radar systems for vital-sign […]

The overconsumption and overproduction of meat has led to an unbalanced and harmful relationship between the food industry and the environment. The Better Butchers have identified mycelium, mushroom root, as a great addition to current vegetarian proteins because of its high protein content, natural filamentous texture, and it can be grown easily in liquid culture. […]

La technologie est maintenant bien présente dans les divers espaces de vie et elle est utilisée pour la réadaptation des personnes ayant des problèmes associés à des maladies ou traumatismes. Ce projet testera le prototype 3 du vélo intelligent développé par Trivel auprès de personnes âgées ayant une diminution de leur mobilité. Ces personnes seront […]
