Aging In Place Medical Device Certification 1 of 2

Home Health Systems has built a sensor and software for Aging In Place monitoring for senior citizens. It supports outpatient care where costs are reduced by 10X and patients get treated at home where they prefer to be. This project will complete the next steps required for Health Canada certification as a class 3 medical […]

The potential of frass as a microbiome-based soil amendment

Industrial-scale production of protein from black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) has emerged as an efficient and sustainable alternative to wild harvesting or large animal farming. The principal waste product, called frass, has plant growth-enhancing properties exceeding those explained from primary nutrient (e.g., N,P,K) profiles, but how does frass confer these growth enhancing properties upon plants? […]

Closed loop, vapor-phase processing of nickel for porous materials for EV batteries

The proposed research project aims at technology for environmentally benign recycling of nickel. The process entails conversion of nickel found in the “black mass” from recycled Ni-based batteries into nickel carbonyl, Ni(CO)4, by reaction with CO at modest temperatures around 50-120°C (pressuredependent). Only nickel carbonyl is volatile under these conditions and is easily separated from […]

Salmon peptide identification and purification: insulinmodulation

This proposal describes a multidisciplinary approach to optimize the separation of peptides from an enzyme digest of filleting waste (frames) recovered from farm-raised Atlantic salmon. Our work has demonstrated that a particular salmon peptide fraction has the ability to reverse the effects of type 2 diabetes in rodent feeding trials and model system (tissue culture) […]

Indirect quantum interactions on a quantum computer.

One of the main issues with many quantum computing platforms is that not all quantum bits (qubits) can interact directly. This results in an overhead in the number of operations required to run an algorithm and ultimately in longer run times that can become prohibitive. Entangled Networks is currently developing hardware and software solutions to […]

Variations du microbiome des baies et des feuilles de vignes soumises à différents changements de température au champ

Au Canada, les études explorant la relation entre la vigne et son microbiome sont encore peu nombreuses, surtout sur les cépages hybrides cultivés dans l’Est du Canada. Ces cépages, issus de croisements entre l’espèce Vitis vinifera et des espèces Vitis indigènes à l’Amérique du Nord (V. labrusca, V. riparia), ont une biochimie particulière, qui leur […]

Modeling Application Performance under Multi-Instance (Multi-Stream) Execution Scenarios

Multi-stream execution is a technique in GPUs that allows multiple operations/kernels from the same program to effectively use GPUs without explicitly stating the affinity of threads to the cores. Several recent optimizations in Machine Learning (ML) algorithms leverage multi-stream execution. While performance modeling of ML applications is well studied under single-stream execution, performance models of […]

Fabrication of Deformable Micro Mirrors

Histology studies the microscopic anatomy of biological tissues, which is critical to clinical disease management and fundamental to biological understanding. However, current approaches that rely on bright-field microscopy require extensive issue preparation prior to imaging and may thus take days. Photoacoustic remote sensing, or PARS, can dramatically reduce the histology bio-imaging time from days to […]
