Storm-driven transport and deposition of atmospheric microplastics in remote Newfoundland, Canada
(2024-04-12)
Microplastic pollution is an increasing global concern due to its pervasiveness in all types of environments around the world. In recent years, the study of how microplastic particles travel across the atmosphere has ...
Physico-chemical Properties of Ni-P Hexagonal Boron Nitride Composite Coatings
(2024-04-11)
Certain nickel polyalloys, such as Ni-P-BN(h) and Ni-P-PTFE, are commonly used in the molding and stamping industries as they produce superior anti-galling coatings. In addition, PTFE and BN(h) are known for their high ...
Seeds for Thought: Fostering Rural Resiliency through Agro-tecture
(2024-04-14)
Post-anthropogenic food industries have disconnected people from the land and, inherently, their food. Such issues have contributed to increasing levels of food insecurity across Canada, disrupting food memory and culture. ...
Secure, Full-duplex multi-domain communication network for Marine Robots
(2024-04-14)
The underwater channel is a difficult communications medium as its link quality depends on the highly variable seabed and water column characteristics that vary on hourly, weekly, monthly and seasonal scales. One of the ...
DEVELOPMENT OF SENSING SYSTEM BASED ON FOLIAR SPECTRAL REFLECTANCE TO ESTIMATE NUTRIENTS IN POTATO PLANTS
(2024-04-15)
In this research project, a sensing system based on spectroscopy was developed to offer a solution to the problem of slow and tedious method of understanding the status of nutrients in potato plants using chemical tissue ...
Portable Spectroscopic Probe for Real-time Quantification of fat droplets in liver, under Ambient Light: Proof of Concept, Development, and Early Commercialization
(2024-04-15)
Hepatic steatosis (HS) is the abnormal accumulation of lipids (fat) in liver cells, negatively impacting post-transplant outcomes. Accurate measurements of HS severity and the size of fat droplets in liver cells are critical ...
Measurements of the force exerted by a forced pulsed water jet, and its effect on the mechanical properties of titanium alloys.
(2024-04-15)
Forced pulsed water jetting (FPWJ) is a type of high-speed water jet (HSWJ) with a modulated jet – made of water packets – where the primary use is a surface treatment for coatings removal and commercialized by VLN Advanced ...
EXPLORING THE ROLES OF TRPML3 IN TNBC PROLIFERATION, MIGRATION, AND BIOENERGETICS
(2024-04-15)
Despite advances in diagnosis and cancer therapy, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains the deadliest subtype of breast cancer. This high mortality rate is largely attributed to a lack of comprehensive understanding ...
