HVdc is the preferred approach for transmission of bulk power into existing AC network from point to point and from remote generation resources because of technical advantages, including low transmission losses. Integration of HVdc grid with existing AC grid provides considerable economic benefits while throwing up challenges for effective control of both the grids at […]

This project aims toward development of a polymeric delivery system for controlled release of cannabinoids, with application in treatment of patients suffering from glaucoma. InMed Pharmaceuticals is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that specializes in developing cannabis based therapies with innovative drug delivery systems. So far, two candidates were introduced: CTI-085 is a topical formulation […]

The Project builds on existing research to advance the design of a novel, cargo carrying UAV for commercial and humanitarian purposes. The project will apply adaptable winglet, fuselage aerodynamics, and aircraft controller research to tailless, flex-wing ultralight aircraft with 2-axis control. Such an aircraft will have many advantages over conventional fixed wing aircraft, including mission […]

Irdeto has a need to create software that is protected in the white-box attack context, which means that attackers have direct access to the software, can execute it, modify it, and stop it to read the data being processed by the software. If attackers are able to modify software in ways that are useful to […]

Le virus de l’infuenza (la grippe) est dépendant des enzymes présentes chez l’hôte pour être infectieux. La collaboration entre les laboratoires de Dr Martin Richter, Dr Éric Marsault et Dr Richard Leduc à l’Université de Sherbrooke a permis de développer et d’optimiser des inhibiteurs qui bloquent l’activité de ces enzymes essentielles au virus. Ainsi, dans […]

La compréhension du système nerveux, plus particulièrement du cerveau, suscite beaucoup d’intérêt depuis toujours. Décoder l’organisation cellulaire ainsi que les modes de communication neuronaux demeurent par contre un énorme défi. La microscopie optique jumelée au développement de sonde fluorescente a permis de faire d’énorme progrès en neuroscience. Avec la venue de l’optogénétique et la capacité […]

Hundreds of millions of children in developing countries are unable to complete primary education. Mobile devices such as tablets are increasingly inexpensive and becoming accessible in large numbers in such developing countries. We propose developing educational software for such tablets to help children acquire arithmetic skills. To do this, we will develop new ways of […]

Despite the high prevalence of Inflammatory Bowel diseases (IBD) in industrialized countries, particularly in Canada, the mechanisms controlling these debilitating gastrointestinal pathologies remain poorly understood. IBD is though to arise from an uncontrolled immune response to the intestinal microbiota, inducing a persistent inflammatory reaction in the gut. Death of epithelial cells and loss of epithelial […]

Most silver ore is present in form of silver sulphide in nature. Traditional method of silver leaching treats the ore using cyanide, similar to gold leaching. Cyanide leaching has raised more public concerns in the society, due to its potential hazard toward human as well as environment. Regions start to regulate or ban the usage […]

The purpose of the funding is to provide initial support towards the establishment of an Inter-disciplinary Assessment and Rehabilitation Centre for Excellence. This center will be initiated between the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC), Multi-Health Systems (MHS), Rehabilitation Research, Education and Evaluation Services (RREES), with consultation and data collection support by RTW Integrated Health Management […]

This project will determine an accurate method to design safety anchor and davit base plates for installation on high-rise buildings. Safety anchor and davit bases are structures that are specific to façade access systems. They are similar to bases in other structures, such as bases for traffic signs or building columns; however there are differences […]

We propose to investigate the evolution of sustainable development in the mineral extraction industry over the past 12 years. In 2003 the first Sustainable Developing in the Minerals Industry (SDIMI) conference was held where attending engineers, government officials, researchers, technical experts and non-governmental organizations, adopted the “Milos Declaration” which stated they as a community would […]
