The reduction of antibiotic use in livestock as an emerging public health response, as well as the continued increase in the global need for animal-based proteins, requires holistic approaches to address these current challenges in animal production. Immunonutrition is a promising field that allows modulate immune system responses through interventions with specific nutrients that have […]

Since the dawn of the human genome sequencing in 2003, great hopes have been put into the development of new therapeutics and personalized medicine tailored on individual DNA profiles. Nonetheless, progress in these fields has been slow, mainly due to the focus of the research community on only a small number of genes and proteins […]

Criterium Group has an agile work structure and believe there is value in getting exposure to different projects, clients, and problems. Therefore, to introduce students to this agile structure and breadth of experience, they will support Criterium Group’s private sector clients (non pro-bono), as well as UWCA (pro-bono). These private sector clients range from start-ups […]

Like most sectors of the economy, the retail industry is vigorously stirred by COVID-19, particularly retailers focused on non-essential goods and services with the lengthy closure of nearly all physical stores, notable layoffs, and a dramatic fall in demand, even for those with an online presence. Even after reopening, retailers face significant challenges such as […]

Ce projet a pour but d’augmenter la durée de vie utile des épaississeurs présents dans les diverses usines de RIO TINTO ALCAN. Ces épaississeurs, d’une dimension comparable à celle d’un édifice de 6 étages, possèdent un râteau interne qui permet de compacter et de transporter radialement la boue jusqu’au puits de décharge. Avec le temps, […]

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are biological anchors for growth factors (GF) and other chemical substances. The binding of these substances to GAGs can be modified in times of need. For example during wound healing the increased number of GAGs in the injured areas enables a very localized increase in growth factors and chemokines necessary for wound healing. […]

This business internship will allow the intern to work with CBA Chamber of Commerce (CBACC) as they have taken a leadership role in supporting its membership and Conception Bay Area business community. The pandemic has been as challenging for the Chamber as it has been for most businesses, so we intimately understand much of what […]

This project aims to gain a better understanding of small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs)’ attitudes and behaviors as they relate to data-driven decision making. This project will benefit the partner organization and the business community by zooming in the reasons that kept some SMBs from adopting data-driven decision-making strategies. Solving this problem could help the […]

The proposed project aims to develop the use of Low-Cost UAV imagery systems for precision agriculture applications with focus on weed and irrigation management applications. Generally, Precision Agriculture is a management system that aims to compile different technologies to control the use of the agriculture process inputs such as chemical herbicides, seeds, water, etc., to […]

The proposed research project will provide SRK a reliable tool to estimate the level of displacements developing in a clayey deposit when subjected to cyclic loading of variable amplitudes, such as earthquake loading conditions. Specifically, this tool is represented by a model which can be used during seismic analysis of geotechnical structures. The model will […]
