Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive adult brain tumor, and in spite of standard of care (SOC) with radiation therapy and chemotherapy with temozolomide tumor re-growth (or recurrence) and patient relapse are inevitable. There is compelling evidence that suggests SOC can debulk the tumor but cells endowed with treatment-resistant properties (e.g. expressing the protein marker CD133) […]

In many applications, we need to find the right person with the required expertise (skills) for some task. To enable this, it is necessary to extract and organize the skills of different persons in a taxonomy. This project aims at developing a taxonomy of skills for the National Bank of Canada. Currently, a small taxonomy […]

The only treatment for celiac disease (CeD) is a strict gluten-free diet, which is very difficult to follow. Despite following gluten-free diet, many celiacs experience ongoing inflammation and symptoms, highlighting the need for additional therapies. We have shown that celiacs have an altered composition of bacteria in their gut, and this leads to defective bacterial […]

This project aims to build a tool that will help the company automatically gather and analyze data from multiple platforms, such as Google Analytics, Linkedin and Hotjar. This tool will save the company time by removing the need to manually gather and analyze data and will also help the marketing team finding the best strategy […]

The proposed project is dedicated to fast resistance and inductance extraction for multiconductor transmission lines. Since the complexity of power cable designs has grown significantly over the past decade, fast and accurate tools for electromagnetic characterization are required. The cable models presently used by Manitoba Hydro however are overly simplified compared to the ones available […]

Monitoring the quality of perishable food is critical for reducing the societal costs. A wireless intelligent gas sensor based on biomass/heavy oil-derived activated carbon will be prepared to monitoring the spoilage of food. Agricultural/forest biomass residual materials such as straw, sawmill waste, and logging residue, and cheap and abundant bitumen are feedstocks yielding high porous […]

Conversion des veilles et diagnostics manuels en une solution intelligente / traitement des données externes à l’organisation

Améliorations des processus interne et automatisation des taches dans l’acquisition de clients et la gestion de projet afin d’amener des gains d’efficacité dans les modelés opérationnels des processus et lors de prestation de service et de suivi de projet

Coastal temperate rainforests hold a high biodiversity of living organisms, including many fungal species. The diversity of fungi remain poorly described in forests of BC. In the proposed study, we will document these species and improve our understanding of ecosystem complexity by gathering essential baseline information on fungal communities. This will be useful for applied […]

Cette recherche vise à développer un outil prototype qui nous permettra de reconstruire les mémoires collectives des peuples indigènes et de comprendre leur approche vis-à-vis de la gestion des enjeux d’adaptation aux changements climatiques auxquels ils sont confrontés. La plupart des peuples indigènes cultivent la fidélité aux plus profondes mémoires qui à la fois relient […]

Digital Transformation of business, combined with globalization through outsourcing, has create an increasingly fast-paced, competitive environment for most businesses. Additionally, new disruptive technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain are just beginning to open new opportunities for the next wave of Digital Transformation. Agile concepts have accepted in information systems (IS) development for more than […]

The recent legalization of marijuana across the globe has sparked new interest in studying the health benefits of non-psychotropic cannabinoids. The majority of the studies have revolved around cannabidiol as it can readily be isolated in high quantities from hemp. Preliminary medicinal studies into CBD have revealed its promise as a treatment for anxiety, and […]
