Sol-gel encapsulation of safflower derived oilbodies and immobilization of fractionated seed proteins for evaluation of stability under simulated gastrointestinal conditions

SemBioSys Genetics, Inc is active in the production of recombinant, pharmacologically active proteins using the seeds of the safflower plant. The purified product is inside oilbodies derived from the seed. In this project, the intern will perform research on a novel encapsulation technology for functional food. The technology is aiming at encapsulating a pharmaceutically active product in the oilbodies in a silica-based hull. This hull will protect the product from stomach acids while releasing the drug in the lower gastrointestinal tract. Using this silica technology will allow for a targeted release, utilizing the enhanced degradation of the silica matrix at high pH levels. This project has the potential to create a new product line for SemBioSys.

Development and characterization of elite Echinacea germplasm for natural health products and dietary supplements

Echinacea is a popular medicinal herb with a global market of ?$1 billion. While numerous Echinacea products are already available, variable plant chemistry and genetics leads to inconsistent product quality. In an effort to develop “chemically customized” varieties for herbal products and supplements, Amway Canada has partnered with researchers at the University of Ottawa and Carleton University. Having already analyzed >100 varieties of Echinacea, we are breeding selected individuals with desired properties to establish new distinct and stable lines. Through field- and greenhouse experiments, we will improve cultivation practices for increased quality, quantity and consistency of plant material. Looking to uncover new uses for Echinacea, our team will use experimental models to study which chemicals are responsible for different effects and how they work. This research will expand our knowledge about the chemistry and therapeutic potential of Echinacea. With high quality plant resources, TO BE CONT’D

Appariement hétérogène entre nuage de points LiDAR et images SAL : vers une nouvelle méthodologie de calibrage

Depuis 2011, une plateforme SAL (Synthetic Aperture Ladar) a été développée et testée en laboratoire à l’Institut National d’Optique (INO). L’INO souhaite maintenant évaluer la possibilité d’utiliser un tel système d’acquisition pour des applications réelles de cartographie urbaine, notamment de modélisation 3D intérieure. Actuellement, les balayeurs laser (i.e. LiDAR) sont couramment exploités pour réaliser de telles cartographies 3D. Cependant, cette technologie fournit des nuages de points qui laissent place à des indéterminations de profondeur. Dans ce contexte, l’ajout de mesures SAL pourrait aider à mieux distinguer les objets. Ainsi l’objectif de ce projet de recherche est d’élaborer une méthode permettant de calibrer (i.e. détermination de la position et orientation relative) une plateforme SAL et un LiDAR. Une fois ce calibrage effectué, les mesures issues des deux systèmes pourront être combinées. TO BE CONT’D

Evaluation of performance characteristics and applications for foam concrete materials

Foamed concrete is a low-density product, created by blending a cement paste with a foaming agent. The foam is stable during the set-up of the concrete, resulting in fine, evenly distributed voids within the concrete matrix.
In addition to its low density, properties of foam concrete include pumpability as a fresh concrete mix; and sound absorption and thermal resistance (relative to standard concrete) when cast. Its characteristics indicate possible commercial exploitation of the material in a wide variety of applications and markets, in uses as diverse as interior acoustic demising walls or roadside sound barriers; precast applications such as unit pavers, concrete masonry units, and wall or roof panels; porous paving; low-density backfill in mining; or structural fill under roadways and building foundations. Advantages of foam concrete continue to be recognized, although the material is not yet widely used in Canada. TO BE CONT’D
