Développements et validations numériques d’outils de diagnostic et d’optimisation pour la conception de ventilateurs

Dans les résidences, le bruit de ventilation est considéré comme une source majeure d’inconfort. La connaissance et l’identification des sources de bruit de ventilateurs sont primordiales pour la conception d’un ventilateur silencieux et énergétiquement plus efficace. Dans le cas des ventilateurs fabriqués par la compagnie Venmar Ventilation ULC. le bruit large bande domine d’une manière […]

Engineering fucoidan synthesis

Surgical adhesions can form after many kinds of surgery, and affect millions of patients every year, hindering healing and causing pain and infertility. ARC Medical Devices has shown that treating a surgical site with fucoidan, a polysaccharide extracted from some types of seaweed, greatly reduces surgical adhesions in animals, but a source of pure fucoidan […]

Rotational Doppler shift with optical vortices in the backward-wave phase-matching process, as probe for improved vibration sensing

Optical vortices have recently attracted great interest in many fields of scientific and technologi-cal research. The proposed project aims to experimentally verify the rotational Doppler shift in the nonlinear optical regime using optical vortices. The frequency shift sensed through optical vortices in the nonlinear interaction is expected to be proportional to the order of the […]

Validation of food allergen analytical methods and their incorporation in food process control practices – aiming for more predictable, risk-based quality management systems for processed foods

The planned research aims to validate food allergen and gluten testing tools, and their incorporation in novel quality-management systems used in food production. It will leverage existing methodologies developed by r-Biopharm Canada (r-BPC), over the past decade through its parent company. Beyond a contribution to the validation and enhanced application of these methods on various […]

Development of a method using immuno-Raman for the simultaneous imaging of 15 biomarkers for immunotherapy of breast cancer.

We propose a novel approach that will provide researchers with an improved method to study multiple molecules, simultaneously in the same tissue section. Our strategy is to use novel nanoparticles that each emit unique multispectral signature and can be used simultaneously. We aim to develop a novel method to detect 15 breast cancer and immunotherapy-related […]

Development of in operando characterization methods for lithium ion battery materials

The successful commercialization of new cathode materials for lithium ion batteries requires an improved and detailed understanding of the correlations between their structure, properties, and performance. Such a correlation will provide a foundation for better understanding the degradation mechanisms and optimized operating conditions for these cathode materials; pairing new battery materials with ideal applications and […]

Deriving probiotics for male health

We are starting to understand a lot more about the bacteria in our intestinal tract which is called the microbiome. We think that these microorganisms are able to modulate the production of human hormones such as testosterone and actually produce some of these substances under specific conditions. We will look at the ability of beneficial […]

Preparation of a new formulation to prevent surgical adhesions

Inter-tissue adhesions cause significant complications following veterinary surgery of domesticated animals. Fucoidans are natural, negatively charged, carbohydrate polymers (polysaccharides) from seaweeds that have been successfully developed and commercialized for reducing such adhesions, thereby improving surgical outcomes. Currently, the inherent variability in the molecular size and composition of native fucoidans extracted from seaweed presents a significant […]
