The ongoing advancements in electronic equipment towards intelligence, portability, and wearability have increased demand for lightweight, flexible, and mechanically robust electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. There are textile-based EMI shields in the market; however, they are mostly reflection-based shields rather than absorption-based, which results in secondary pollution. As such, this research project is an initiative […]

A coherent microwave source is a crucial component in various applications operating within the RF frequency band, including telecommunications, sensing and medical imaging. It provides a stable reference signal, transmits information, and drives other RF components. Recent research by the Hu Group has developed a new method for generating highly coherent microwave emissions, which holds […]

The spine is an complex system of joints requiring refined motor control strategies to coordinate movement between the lower and upper limbs. Back injuries occur due to poor spine control during sudden/unexpected spine loading. The golf swing is unique to each individual, repetitive, and involves multiple major joints during performance, making the golf swing an […]

Lors de mon premier projet de recherche pour le doctorat, j’ai conduit des entrevues portant sur le stress et la douleur de personnes affectées de douleur lombaire chronique. Lors de ces entrevues, nous avons observé que plusieurs participants avec des niveaux similaires de douleur semblaient avoir de grandes variations dans leur description de la souffrance […]

A food crisis currently confronts many Indigenous communities across northern Canada, including those in the Thompson region of the Manitoba Me´tis Federation (MMF). Efforts have shifted from past reliance on technology-centred solutions to those that are grounded in Indigenous traditions, culture, and language. However, they have yet to be documented adequately much less acted upon […]

Langara College is collaborating with Jazz Pharmaceuticals to develop an understanding of how cannabidiol (CBD) binds to targets and induces physiological changes in normal dopaminergic neurons compared to those modified to replicate Parkinson’s Disease (PD). We are submitting an NSERC CCI ARD proposal to obtain $120,000 for this project. The industrial partner has pledged to […]

The Canadian iron industry will benefit from increasingly streamlined data to support operational decisions, particularly as their steelmaking clientele is transitioning toward carbon-neutral steel production. The iron ore required for carbon-neutral steelmaking is especially high grade, in accordance with the DRI-EAF steelmaking route. Key operational decisions include the formation and depletion of stockpiles for different […]

Metabolomics is the study of the complete set of small molecules in the human body. Analyzing metabolomic and biometric data is critical in order to detect, predict, and simulate changes in the health conditions of a patient, providing the opportunity for preventive and personalized medicine. This is generally done using machine learning, but it is […]

Glo 3D, a Toronto-based technology startup, is pioneering a game-changing undercarriage photography technology to revolutionize vehicle inspections. Inspired by automotive industry demands, their mission extends to diverse sectors such as trucking, heavy machinery, military, and government inspections. Tackling challenges head-on, they’re conducting comprehensive research across industries to tailor their business strategy and pricing models accordingly. […]

Rhize is a consulting and fertilizer company that is determined to provide quality products and services to those who would like to advance their growing capabilities. Our aim is to become a one-stop-shop for every grower large and small for any service need. A major challenge in the Atlantic Canadian cannabis market is the lack […]

Telops a développé une solution complète pour l’inspection aéroportée de détection de méthane. Cette solution, basée sur la caméra hyperspectrale infrarouge thermique HCAM (Hyper-Cam Airborne Mini), a un volet important de traitement des données. Les données acquises lors de vols d’inspection sont sous la forme d’images de radiance spectrale et d’images visibles, le tout géoréférencé. […]

In 2006, the Government of Ontario introduced “Places to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe” to control urban sprawl, protect farmland and green spaces, create complete communities and revitalize downtowns and urban centres. Key specifications include minimum intensification targets, such as requiring 40% of new residential development to occur in existing built-up areas. […]
