To best conserve highly social species, conservation managers must consider how resources are distributed between group members. Northern Resident killer whales are listed as threatened and prey limitation is considered one of their primary threats. These whales share their limited prey with each other, and this prey sharing is central to their unusually stable social […]

Our project will explore the use of calcinated eggshells to reduce phosphorus runoff from farms, and reuse of these eggshells as fertilizers. The intern will test these calcinated eggshells mixed with woodchips to see how well they can absorb phosphorus under different conditions. They will also study how the phosphorus is distributed in the soil […]

This particular research project will be carried out to design and analyze district energy system options for multi-residential buildings and townhouses. District energy systems are centralized energy plants used to generate cooling, heating, electricity and other useful outputs, in a combined manner. Their implementation to the existing utility infrastructure strengthens the resiliency and reliability of […]

TerraVerdae Bioworks is working with a type of bacteria that is able to metabolize methanol, converting it into a bioplastic. TerraVerdae is focusing its commercial operations on bioplastic production but is interested in identifying other bioproducts that can also be produced. It is known that this type of bacteria forms a symbiotic relationship with plants, […]

Cardiac PET is a powerful tool to assess heart function. One measure from a Cardiac PET study is left ventricle ejection fraction. This is mainly estimated through gated reconstructions of relative perfusion imaging and segmentation of the left ventricle myocardium. However, direct estimations of left ventricle volume and thus ejection fraction can be obtained by […]

This project aims to develop a novel gene delivery method for treating brain injury, and neurodegenerative diseases. This method uses a specially designed virus system, called iPhAGE miniphagemids, to deliver genes of interest in a targeted manner. This method is better suited for targeting the brain as the miniphagemids are far more efficient, in comparison […]

RAYHAWK has an autonomous solution for opening and closing railcar lids are actively working to expand their capabilities. Railcars are not standardized and all Railcar Top Objects (RTObjects) include lids, lid strappings, latches, latch seals, and walkways which make for expansive railcar configurations that need be supported in future solutions. The key challenge to expanding […]

PetDifts is launching smart collars to the market. This project includes managing business operations like partner with retail pet shops and other pet communities in Canada, and testing the smart collars before and after launching to the market for accuracy and efficiency.
