Just like the idiom says, to not put all your eggs in one basket, insurance and reinsurance are founded on diversification. Pooling among policyholders, lines of businesses, perils, etc., are typical ways to achieve an adequate level of diversification to lower required capital. However, there are several factors that can act to hamper diversification, even […]

Geophysical electromagnetic techniques are used to scan the Earth’s subsurface and can be used to help find buried materials of economic, environmental and societal importance. They are especially widely used in mineral exploration. DIAS Geophysical is developing a new geophysical electromagnetic system that will be flown under a helicopter that should be more effective than […]

Pacific salmon spend most of their life in the open ocean, where we know little about the factors influencing their health and abundance. Last year, we participated in the first expedition to explore the winter habitat of salmon the Gulf of Alaska. We collect samples to inform ongoing research projects focusing on salmon health and […]

Une partie des coûts de la justice est attribuable à des pratiques situées aux limites de la déontologie professionnelle : rapport collusoire entre praticiens, multiplication des dépenses douteuses, honoraires abusifs, exploitation de l’ignorance des justiciables, engagement dans des procédures qui auraient pu être évitées par un recours judiciaire à la Conférence de règlement amiable, introduction […]

The recent legalization of marijuana has sparked renewed interest in studying the health benefits of the non-psychoactive cannabinoids. Cannabidiol (CBO, 1, Figure 1) has emerged as a promising medicinal candidate due to its potential for the treatment of anxiety, and chronic pain. In 2018, the first CBD-containing drug, Epidio1ex, was approved by the FDA for […]

Non-palpable breast cancers, needing localization before removal, make approximately 60% of the diagnosed breast cancers. The gold standard for localizing includes implanting protruding wires or radioactive seeds in the lesion. The wires are not accurate, cause pain and discomfort to the patients, while the radioactive seeds warrant strict administrative and safety requirements. MOLLI Surgical Inc. […]

The overarching objective of this research project is to design, develop, and test, a reporting automation platform that is able to gather data (in the form of metrics, graphs, tables) from several security software and 3rd party tools, aggregate the data if needed, generate metrics, build reports and upload them to another tool with a […]

As Canada looks to transition to a clean energy system, reducing diesel use in remote communities presents a significant challenge. Despite financial assistance from the federal government, the business case for clean energy projects in remote communities continues to be less than ideal. Without government support for capital costs, renewable energy projects at present are […]

Balloons have potential benefits over stents for localised drug delivery. The activities in this proposal will aid the development of a dual balloon catheter system. By the end of the internship, the balloon catheter design will be completed and frozen in anticipation of pre-clinical studies. The gold standard for diagnosis of interstitial lung disease is […]

Cloud, which is no longer a future trend, has led to a paradigm shift in the design of security services. With so many dynamic features offered by cloud service providers, the assessment of potential threats, cloud vulnerabilities and software security concerns can help in securing cloud customers from inside and outside threat. In this research, […]

White light emission from blue-emitting Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) is now replacing virtually all other types of lighting and display lighting in commercial and residential sectors. Currently, such LEDs are made using gallium indium nitride, gallium indium aluminum phosphide and gallium arsenide compounds that are expensive to produce. Instead we are seeking to use very […]

Cerebral aneurysm (CA) is an abnormal dilation of the cerebral arterial wall and accounts for more than half a million deaths worldwide annually. Flow diverters (FDs) are commonly used to treat CAs but have deficiencies in certain anatomies. In partnership with Evasc Medical System Inc., whose area of expertise is developing treatments for CA, we […]
