The role of digitalization and value chain management for competitive advantage in forest industry transformation to the bioeconomy

The forest industry is going through a transformation worldwide. Competitive limitations faced by companies starting with the newsprint demand decline have required process modernization and portfolio diversification. As a result, the forest biorefinery emerged – facilities for the production of biofuels, biochemicals, and biomaterials. The forest sector has adopted the biorefinery concept globally because it […]

Machine learning-based data analysis for cancer targeted gene panels

Cancer develops from the accumulation of mutations in key genes, which drive disease progression in individual patients. Currently, cancer genomic analysis results in the reporting of dozens to hundreds of mutations and other genomic alterations, without providing any indication of which genes are the most functional, and relevant for the survival of the cancer cell. […]

Towards the Development of a Prognostic tool for Harmful Algal Blooms

The Laurentian Great Lakes and many Canadian inland waters have experienced a resurgence of cyanobacteria-dominated harmful algal blooms (cHABs), which negatively impact recreational uses, aesthetics, taste and odor in drinking water. The presence of toxins can also have dire repercussions on aquatic wildlife and human health. The factors that influence the occurrence and magnitude of […]

Radon: Building a BC Based Response

Radon is a cancer-causing radioactive gas produced by the natural decay of uranium in rocks and soils. Radon can enter buildings and reach high levels in indoor air (Khan and Gomes, 2017). It is the second-leading cause of lung cancer (after smoking). killing approximating 3200 Canadians a year (Chen et al. 2012). High radon concentrations […]
