Several popular OT security frameworks have been developed to help organizations protect their critical infrastructure and industrial control systems from cyber threats. Two of the most popular standards include ISA/IEC 62443 (formerly ISA 99) and NIST SP 800-82 Rev.2 (ICS Security Guide). The purpose of this project is to use an existing OT infrastructure to […]

Ultrarunning has gained popularity in recent decades, with greater participation and the development of several ultraraces across the world. An increase in participation by women athletes is suggested to be largely responsible for this growth. However, there is limited understanding of the experiences of women ultra-runners. The purpose of this project is to examine how […]

Langara College is collaborating with Jazz Pharmaceuticals to develop an understanding of how cannabidiol (CBD) binds to targets and induces physiological changes in normal dopaminergic neurons compared to those modified to replicate Parkinson’s Disease (PD). We are submitting an NSERC CCI ARD proposal to obtain $120,000 for this project. The industrial partner has pledged to […]

Metabolomics is the study of the complete set of small molecules in the human body. Analyzing metabolomic and biometric data is critical in order to detect, predict, and simulate changes in the health conditions of a patient, providing the opportunity for preventive and personalized medicine. This is generally done using machine learning, but it is […]

Bioactive peptides obtained from grains can be employed to prevent or treat several diseases such as diabetes, cancer, etc., and potentially contribute to the sensory profile (e.g., texture, mouthfeel) of foods and beverages. Brewery industry has two major by-products, namely Brewer’s spent grain and spent yeast, that are suitable for the production of bioactive peptides. […]

This project will implement a more effective way to recycle composite materials.

Telops a développé une solution complète pour l’inspection aéroportée de détection de méthane. Cette solution, basée sur la caméra hyperspectrale infrarouge thermique HCAM (Hyper-Cam Airborne Mini), a un volet important de traitement des données. Les données acquises lors de vols d’inspection sont sous la forme d’images de radiance spectrale et d’images visibles, le tout géoréférencé. […]

In the modern period of the Industrial Revolution, enormous emphasis is placed on green technology, including zero or less waste production, recycling resources, and using recyclable raw materials. According to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals for a peaceful and flourishing world, materials science research focuses on recovering techniques and proper waste control are essential to […]

The gut microbiota comprises all bacteria inhabiting the intestines and has been shown to play a significant role in both health and disease. Although previously overlooked, new research shows that both the gut microbiota and their metabolites may influence exercise performance. Probiotic supplementation has been shown to have a small but significant positive effect on […]

En septembre 2022, le gouvernement canadien a annoncé la mise en place du programme d’évaluation post-commercialisation des médicaments. Ce nouveau programme permettra aux organismes gouvernementaux de l’industrie pharmaceutique tel l’Agence Canadienne des médicaments et des technologies de la santé (ACMTS), d’inclure les données probantes du monde réel à leur évaluation des médicaments. Les données probantes […]

Psoriasis is a chronic auto-immune disease affecting 1 million Canadians which presents as scaly red patches on skin. For the people affected, quick access to therapies is essential. However, it can be a challenge, especially in the presence of reimbursement barriers. In Canadian healthcare, public drug plans often have barriers such as criteria. Criteria can […]

Peanut products are known to contain allergens capable of causing severe and life threatening allergic reactions. Classically, Ara h 1, Ara h 2, and Ara h 3 are considered to be the major peanut allergens, whereas Ara h 9 is the most prevalent allergen in Mediterranean countries. Current detection methods of peanut allergens are expensive […]
