Surface Functionalization of Polypeptides for Applications in Cosmetics

The purpose of this project is to the modify the structure of 3F’s low molecular weight cod collagen polypeptides and determine which physical properties of the material are necessary to convert it into the superior product on the market for its applications into the field of cosmetics. To alter its physical properties surface functionalization is […]

Data Automation of Raft Brew Labs – RS0054347

To ensure high product quality and continue driving gains against their multinational counterparts, independent craft beverage facilities require access to analytical data on their products, and yet most craft beverage facilities cannot afford the considerable costs of building, staffing and supplying their own in-house labs. Raft fills this need by serving as the centralized laboratory […]

A lab-on-chip fish welfare sensor for application in aquaculture

We propose using the Cortisol hormone, secreted from the fishes during stressful events, to provide ongoing monitoring of fish welfare while in their habitats. Instrumented aquaculture pens will allow operators to continuously be aware of threats to fish health, including harmful blooms, predators, and/or poachers. As Canadian aquaculture capital investments are remote and offshore, a […]

A multi-modal neuroimaging approach to characterize BuChE-specific radioligands for early and definitive diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that causes dementia. Effective therapies to slow or reverse progression of AD have yet to be realized clinically, owed largely to the lack of accurate diagnosis achievable by current methods. The need for early, definitive diagnosis of AD during life is imperative for disease management, and relies heavily […]

Assessment of the Seismic Vulnerability of GFRP Reinforced Concrete Shear Walls

The applicability of reinforcing shear walls with FRP bars in resisting wind loads and small to medium magnitude earthquakes has was validated through several investigations. The most significant advantage of the FRP-RC is the considerable elastic deformation capacity and the self-centering ability of up to near failure. However, Current limitations of FRP design codes concerning […]

Prevalence of moderate-to-severe Osteoarthritis pain of the hip and knee by Index Joints in Canadian Primary Care: A proof of concept study from the Canadian Primary Care Sentinel Surveillance Network

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease in middle-aged and older Canadians attending primary care practitioners. As the Canadian population ages and with increasing obesity, OA will become an increasing burden for individuals and the health care system. Given the potential of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) data for surveillance of the population that is at high […]

Development of an Interoperable Microgrid Control Unit

The proposed project involves the development of a microgrid energy management system (or microgrid control unit – MCU) to synchronize the actions of devices such as batteries, solar panels, and other generators to achieve increased energy savings. The MCU will allow all devices to interact and exchange information seamlessly, in a “plug and play” fashion. […]
