Brain cancers represent one of the most aggressive tumors that are especially challenging to treat through drugs, partially due to the inherent protection by the blood-brain barrier. Therefore, developing drugs that have specific chemical properties that allow them to cross the blood-brain-barrier, while simultaneously retaining their drug-like features is a heavily sought-after approach in treating […]

To determine the infrastructure and their equipment needs throughout the life of a mine, mining companies solves a long-term planning problem that aims at determining the mining sequences that will maximize the net present value of profits while taking into account operational constraints. These problems are very difficult to solve because of their huge size. […]

Development and oversight of an integrated water and waste management system including rainwater harvesting, grey water reuse for toilet flushing and irrigation, vertical and horizontal flow constructed wetland for septic treatment paired with outdoor composting toilets for seasonal use, and permaculture landscaping for passive rainwater retention. Upon completion, ongoing testing and monitoring procedures will be […]

AltaML is growing, improving its culture, making changes in its processes and systems to manage its growth as well as the creation and growth of its joint ventures, while adjusting to a hybrid work model. With the organization scaling and increasing its opportunities there also comes a higher demand on the Business Operations side of […]

It is crucial for RUNNR to incorporate best practices and strategies for our UX/UI for our platform to not only lead within an industry just in our proprietary smart logistics technology, but as well in our user’s experience. Being a technology startup, it is crucial that we can display our features and benefits to users […]

With RUNNR scaling operations over the next year, not only in Saskatoon, but across Western Canada, RUNNR will have many challenges to overcome to do so. One major area that will impact RUNNR’s growth strategy over the next year is our driver and employee hiring processes. In order to successfully scale operations to new markets, […]

Pea and lentil are among the most widely grown pulse crops in Canada with great economic, nutrition, soil fertility, and environmental benefits. Aphanomyces is a disease that attacks pulse crops and leads to a yield lose of up to 50%. Currently, there are no reliable solutions to control the disease and stop the spread. We […]

La demande globale en protéines animales devrait doubler d’ici 2050. Suite à la parution d’un rapport de la FAO (2013) vantant les mérites écologiques et nutritionnels des insectes comestibles par rapport aux viandes conventionnelles, les élevages de ténébrions meuniers, destinés tant à l’alimentation humaine qu’animale, sont en forte expansion au Québec. Les élevages d’insectes sont […]

Humans ingest over 50,0000 microplastic-particles every year. The main contributor to microplastic contamination is synthetic-fiber. One lo laundry load can release an average of 700,000 microplastic fibers. Wastewater treatment plants cannot catch all these microfibers, so they end in the oceans. New regulations, which require washing machine manufactures to implement microfiber filtration system are going […]

Off the coast of British Columbia, Resident Killer Whales are considered at-risk and increasing evidence points to a lack of food (salmon) as one of their main threats. Resident Killer Whales have a complex social structure, where family groups are stable, matriarchal, and form associations with other family groups. The family groups or “matrilines” forage […]

The research contributes to the k?usxnitk? (Okanagan Lake) Responsibility Planning Initiative (OKLRPI), a syilx Indigenous-led process coordinated by the Okanagan Nation Alliance, the Okanagan Collaborative Conservation Program, and regional and provincial authorities. The OKLRPI responds to the Okanagan Lake Foreshore Inventory and Mapping reports which documented large-scale losses in natural areas. In 2022, OKLRPI will […]

This project aims to advance the development of a 3D shape generation software that uses generative adversarial networks to design dental crowns. A current prototype version of the software has been developed that allows generating dental restorations represented as point clouds. While currently generated shapes are coherent with the overall generation context of the crown, […]
