Our gastro-intestinal tract is colonized by billions of microorganisms that constitute the intestinal flora or microbiota. These microorganisms, primarily bacteria, are required for our development and physiology; however, changes in the “normal” composition of the microbiota, referred to as dysbiosis, have been linked to chronic inflammatory diseases in humans. Currently, a major research effort is […]

L’énergie solaire est devenue très compétitive, mais l’inadéquation entre l’offre et la demande limite son utilisation dans certaines applications en raison du coût élevé du stockage. Pour résoudre ce problème, l’entreprise Énergie Solaire Innovatrice ISP travaille sur le stockage de l’énergie solaire sous forme de chaleur, afin de l’utiliser plus tard, soit directement sous forme […]

Brandi’s Salsa is a small, locally owned business in Medicine Hat, AB that would like to create an online store to enhance her current business and allow her to expand into a broader market. Brandi Matthews, owner of Brandi’s Salsa has been in business for the past 4.5 years and currently supplies a variety of […]

Coco Fresh Tea and Juice is a popular Taiwanese beverage franchise known for its wide variety of bubble teas and fruit juices. The company has experienced rapid expansion globally, establishing a significant presence in various markets. It has also built a loyal customer base by focusing on high-quality, flavorful drinks and a customer-satisfaction experience. While […]

This project will explore how wood pellets can be used more widely as an affordable, sustainable heating option in the Northwest Territories (NWT). While some areas already use wood pellets, there’s potential to expand this environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels like oil and diesel. The research will involve gathering information, working with local communities, […]

This project aims to help Tankon FRP improve the design of their composite tanks by using computer-based simulations and testing to make the tanks lighter and stronger. The team will update the way Tankon FRP analyzes and builds their tanks, run real-world tests on the materials, and use special software to find the best way […]

Ce projet, en partenariat avec IBM Canada et son usine de Bromont, vise à développer des technologies avancées pour l’assemblage et les tests électroniques. IBM Bromont, la plus grande usine de son genre en Amérique du Nord, se spécialise dans des innovations comme l’assemblage flip-chip, les systèmes à haute densité et les tests avancés. Cependant, […]

Two-photon microscopy is a powerful imaging technique that allows to visualize and study living cells in the brain, immune system, and skin. It currently relies on lasers that emit specific pulse durations, but other pulse configurations may work just as well or better, and can be produced with smaller, more affordable lasers. This could make […]

There is an increasing demand for high resolution multimodality imaging of research animals, such as mice and rats, to allow non-invasive monitoring of disease models and therapeutic interventions. This project focuses on the development of a new positron emission tomography (PET) imaging system that can be operated inside a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. Once […]

Les feux de forêts naturels sont les perturbations majeures à la base de la dynamique végétale boréale. Les changements climatiques induiront une augmentation des régimes de perturbations. Les régimes de perturbations, la structure et la composition forestière pourraient se diriger vers une variabilité naturelle différente de celle connue précédemment. Ce projet de recherche vise à […]

Blending methane with hydrogen for power generation is well-known to significantly lower carbon-based emissions. However, studies have shown that implementing hydrogen is not trivial. In gas turbine combustion systems, major modifications may be required to facilitate the safe combustion of hydrogen and these modifications depend on numerical modeling. Turbulent combustion modeling can strongly accelerate the […]

This project promotes the use of recycled material by diverting it from current waste streams, thus reducing the pressures on local landfills and positively contributing to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. However, processing lumber waste generated in construction and demolition projects remains challenging due to the variability in dimensions and wood species as well […]
