McCaig Tower, as one of the largest sites of Foothills Medical Centre, provides the world’s safest and most accurate surgeries to patients, and a SmarTrack system, an interactive patient tracking system, helps the operating room (OR) management. However, due to the dependence of ORs on pre-operative preparations and post-operative capacities, the disturbances that come from […]

Resistance exercise training combined with adequate post-exercise protein ingestion is known to increase muscle mass when completed repeatedly over a prolonged period of time (>6 weeks). Due to this knowledge much research has been conducted to identify the best protein supplements which allow for the greatest muscle growth with training. This project will test if […]

Many people in Canada are aging and/or may be living with a disability. These people often have to rely on caregivers, and are limited in what they can do independently. Novalte has developed a SMART technology system that connects to WiFi devices in the home to allow someone living with a disability more independence and […]

Ce projet consiste à recenser les effets secondaires et à caractériser le profil d’innocuité d’une nouvelle formulation d’un médicament bien connu et efficace dans le traitement de l’addiction aux opioïdes : SublocadeTM (buprénorphine à libération prolongée). Tout en agissant sur l’humeur, les opioïdes génèrent un sentiment d’euphorie et c’est pourquoi ils peuvent comporter un risque […]

Thirty years after its landmark 1989 release, Nintendo’s Game Boy and its long line of successors continue to capture the imagination of thousands of players who harbor a nostalgic attraction to the technologies of their youth. Montreal-based Retro Modding has developed a profitable business modifying (or “modding”) old video game handhelds and selling them alongside […]

L’évolution technologique révolutionne les processus administratifs dans les banques et les assurances, mais entraîne également de nouveaux défis, en particulier au niveau de la reconnaissance de l’écriture manuscrite et imprimée dans les documents qui doivent être numérisés pour extraire automatiquement l’information pertinente. Les systèmes de dialogues automatisés connaissent également un succès grandissant, grâce à l’utilisation […]

Climate change has major present-day and anticipated consequences for Canadian and global food security. Increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) levels can lead to decreased plant nutritional quality: more fixed carbon and sugar means that plants have less protein and micronutrients per gram. Additionally, increased CO2 levels can exacerbate insect pests on crops because elevated CO2 interferes […]

The rapid and widespread advancement of cyber-threats within the past few years has had a profound impact on virtually everyone, from ordinary people to governments to local organizations. This has caused cyber-security to be considered a global challenge, which is now requiring innovative solutions, such as incorporating human cognition based methods into the software algorithms […]

The goal of this project is to use naturally occurring bacterial partners to improve the flavour and nutritional properties of plants grown in hydroponic and aquaponics systems. This study will investigate ability of plant associated bacteria to alter the metabolic profile of select vegetables and leafy greens. Vertical farming is an increasingly popular solution for […]

With increasing demand for fish and seafood products globally, inland aquaculture is becoming an important source of global food production. This is primarily because food can be produced in proximity to large and densely populated areas, cutting down on transportation costs and emissions. It also allows the use of a more diverse set of species […]

Le présent projet est pour la conception d’une nouvelle lame de patin de hockey qui sera imprimée 3D pour les patins Bauer. Dans ce projet, un nouvel alliage métallique sera développé pour avoir un comportement comme une lame de patin. Ce projet a un avantage de faire avancer les recherches pour les nouveaux matériaux imprimables […]

Fitting hockey players with the proper stick remains a complex process. Even though clear benefits are expected from this process, its complexity limits its application to only a few times during the career of the very top athletes. Furthermore, unlike golf, hockey players mostly use the same stick during all game situations. Previous research clearly […]
