Norethindrone, the first oral contraceptive, is noted as one of the most pivotal molecules to be introduced into society. When introduced in 1960, norethindrone caused a societal paradigm shift by allowing for family planning and providing women with more agency over their reproductive system. Unsurprisingly, the women’s liberation movement, rise of feminism, and the increased […]

The increased energy prices and effects of climate change are severely impacting the day-to-day lives of Canadians. Moreover, essential sectors such as agriculture release substantial amounts of greenhouse gases, adding to climate change challenges. Hence, investing in local and sustainable energy sources is more critical now than ever to reduce these burdens. Therefore, biogas generation […]

Investiguer l’utilisation d’une méthode SPH pour la prédiction des crues à grande échelle à partir des données LiDAR. Les données LiDAR sont rendues disponible par le ministère des Forêts, de la Faune et des Parcs du Québec. Plus spécifiquement : 1) générer des domaines de calcul compatible avec la méthode de calcul SPH Open Source […]

Conventional Li-ion batteries using liquid electrolytes (LEs) are suffering from insufficient energy density and safety issues when used for the flourishing market of electric vehicles (EVs). Replacing LEs with solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) to fabricate all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) has been regarded as an essential route to improve energy density and safety. Basically, a qualified SSE […]

Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability, with long-term hand function impairments being the most common symptom among stroke survivors. As hand function plays a vital role in performing everyday activities, individuals with stroke face a significant impact in their quality of life including their ability to maintain independence, employment, and socially connectedness. To […]

La colibacillose aviaire est un problème économique de l’industrie avicole à une échelle mondiale. A ce jour, les traitements les plus employées contre cette maladie sont les antibiotiques. Cependant, une utilisation excessive et inappropriée des antibiotiques chez les animaux et les humains contribuent à l’émergence et/ou au renforcement de souches bactériennes résistantes aux antibiotiques. Cette […]

In 2021, over 2.2 billion doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines were produced to combat a truly devastating pandemic. Such medications represent the fastest vaccines ever to be developed, with some of the highest efficiencies reported. The above vaccines contain messenger RNA (“mRNA”) trapped inside lipid nanoparticles (“LNPs”), which are globules composed of […]

This project is initiated to shift this company from having developed an advanced algae cultivation platform developed through research, into a commercial enterprise. To achieve this we need to build demand for the algae product (spirulina) within the market place. As we succeed in creating demand, this will trigger the release of funding to continue […]

The aim of the research is to conduct two studies. The first component is to conduct a robust literature review on methods to estimate above and below carbon in temperate (green carbon), and mangrove ecosystems (blue carbon). This component of the proposed research will be aimed to identify a package of monitoring tools that can […]

Recent studies have shown that the gut microbiome works as an organ of the human body. The gut microbiome functions like an endocrine organ producing bioactive metabolites. Since the gut microbiome is in close interaction with the human internal environment and changes in the compositions of gut microbiota can impact host physiology through many pathways. […]

LegacyX is a software development firm currently transitioning from a consulting focus to a software as a service vendor, specializing in Unions. LegacyX aims to give users the choice of a range of data science tools and generate statistical analytic outcome that will allow end users gain access to the insights provided around their Union […]

When introduced to a region, non-native invasive species often have negative consequences for native plants, animals, and humans. When introduced to North America, the invasive zebra and quagga mussels altered the structure and function of native aquatic ecosystems. This caused ecological and economic damage by reducing biodiversity and human uses of local surface waters, respectively. […]
