Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are the parent cells that give rise to all of the different kinds of cells present in blood. Any problems or abnormalities in the different types of blood cells can lead to different type of blood related diseases corresponding to the specific type of cell. Usually, blood cancers also known as […]

SARS-CoV-2 has emphasized the need for antimicrobial defenses in our environment. We need to minimize the risk of microbe transfer between people via touching a common surface. This project, led by the University of Windsor and Ontario coatings companies Tessonics and ONTech Rapid Coatings, combines three different strategies to develop a persistent antiviral coating that […]

In this project, the intern will work closely with the staff of Xanadu, a quantum computing company, to develop educational materials intended for an audience who are comfortable with classical computer programming, but have no prior knowledge or experience with quantum physics or quantum computers. By using interactive, web-based instructional materials, and animated graphics, it […]

More than half of Canadian households have companion animals such as dog or cat. However, cancer has become the leading cause of death in dogs. Currently, available treatments have limitations and compromise the quality of life of dogs. Adored Beast Apothecary wishes to develop unique natural health products to prevent and treat cancers of dogs. […]

Computational optics is the integration of algorithms to enhance optical imaging and exceed its physical limitations. The principles of computational optics can be used in microscopy by implementing programmable illumination to control the application of light onto tissue. MTT Innovation Inc.’s Light Steering Projection technology uses laser illumination, spatial phase modulation, and image processing algorithms […]

Currently, two common technologies that use thermal energy directly to produce cooling are being used in the industry – absorption chillers and steam ejectors. Both are traditional technologies that suffer from serious limitations. MRT is developing a novel Binary Fluid Ejector that can overcome the limitations of prior art to produce a heat pump that […]

The proposed project is to develop a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) model capable of using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data to automatically analyze whether there is a risk of forest fire due to vegetation management around electric equipment. The model automatically classifies points in a LiDAR scan to determine whether there is direct contact […]

The efficiency and productivity of the construction industry has been stagnant due to lack of innovations in technologies, as compared to other industries (e.g., manufacturing, etc.). The digitization of the workflows can help the construction companies to become agile and collecting process related data, which can be further used for decision making and continuous improvement […]

Malgré la présence de ressources de soutien dans les organismes sportifs, les recherches effectuées auprès d’athlètes de haut niveau suggèrent la présence de barrières au recours aux services. L’objectif de cette recherche est d’étudier la prévalence et la prise en charge de la santé mentale des athlètes en développement selon l’environnement sportif afin de pouvoir […]

Ce projet va analyser la gouvernance démocratique (GD) des organisations d’économie sociale (OES) au Québec en vue d’illustrer une diversité de situations où cette pratique incarne la spécificité des OES mais aussi de leur complexité. Au Québec, l’économie sociale regroupe plus de 11200 coopératives, mutuelles et associations à but non lucratif, actives dans tous les […]

The Etobicoke Creek watershed is heavily urbanized with significant water quality issues. As part of the development of a watershed plan, scenario analysis allows for modelling different future land use and climate conditions to understand how watershed conditions will change. The purpose of this research is to establish and utilize an appropriate water quality model […]

Emerald ash borer (EAB) is an invasive insect from Asia that was detected in Ontario in 2002 and has caused severe declines in ash trees. EAB is able to kill a healthy ash tree in 3-4 years and has caused declines of up to 99% in some areas 8-10 years after arriving. Although there is […]
