Development and Evaluation of a Portable Microwave Breast Imaging System: Enhanced Physics Modeling

Access to breast cancer screening is limited in rural populations and developing countries, resulting in increased mortality rates for women. Microwave based breast cancer detection is a safer and less costly approach to early breast cancer detection. Building on our experience in experimental microwave radar-based breast imaging research we are developing and testing a portable […]

Crustal architecture and rifting style of the offshore Nova Scotia Margin

We propose to investigate the crust and uppermost mantle structure of the offshore Nova Scotia margin with the aim of producing a comprehensive regional map of the rifting style along the margin to contribute to a better understanding of the margin geology and its significant variations from NE to SW. We will process the already […]

Unlocking the EPIC potential to promote Precision Child Mental Health

The big problem in healthcare Is that that about 80% of medical data remains unstructured and untapped after it is created. It’s hard to handle this type of data for Electronic Medical Record (EPIC), it tends to be ignored, unsaved or abandoned, and therefore is not effectively used in medical treatment or research. It’s highly […]

Exploring Toxoplasma gondii virulence using quantitative proteomics

Toxoplasma gondii is a pathogen of cats that can infect a wide variety of species including humans and sheep. Although there is only one species of T. gondii, there are many strains of the parasite with varying degrees of severity resulting in different disease outcome. When a human or animal is infected, the host may […]

Terrorist Hostage-Taking in Civil War

Between 1975 and 2018, 30% of rebel organizations active in civil wars kidnapped hostages. There is also significant variation in attacks across time and space, within and across civil wars. My project seeks to explain this variation and examines the logic, lethality, and efficacy of its usage in civil war. It is divided into three […]

Estimation dynamique de l’état des lignes du réseau de transport électrique d’Hydro-Québec par des approches statistiques avancées.

Le conducteur est un élément critique d’une ligne de transport d’électricité. Il est sujet à la corrosion affectant significativement sa durée de vie. Hydro-Quebec surveille avec un vif interet l’etat de corrosion de ses 34 000 km de lignes haute tension et voudrait estimer dynamiquement l’état de cet actif majeur pour optimiser sa valeur d’un […]

INVESTIGATION INTO ANTI-DIABETIC, ANTI-MICROBIAL AND HYPOLIPIDEMIC PROPERTIES OF SORBUS DECORA USED IN THE MANAGEMENT OF DIABETES – EFFECTS ON PI3-K/AKT SIGNALLING PATHWAY

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease, which is characterized by insufficient or inefficient insulin secretory response and elevated blood glucose level (Prabhakar and Doble, 2008). In 2021, 536.6 million people worldwide suffered from diabetes and this number is projected to grow to 783.2 million by 2045 (Sun et al., 2022). Sorbus decora (SD), commonly […]

Mindfulness and indigenous dance as therapeutic modality for chronic conditions

This project is about studying the effects of mindfulness and indigenous dance movement in adults with anxiety. Anxiety is a highly treatable disorder, however, less than half of people with anxiety receive treatment and the few that receive treatment, default. Social support and cultural understanding of mental illness has been identified as potential areas of […]
