Active noise cancellation using atrous scaled convolution recurrent neural networks
(2020-12-23)It has been proven that the external environmental noises affect the human mental health and performances of works. To avoid these detrimental effects, different passive and active noise control system had been developed. ... -
Advancement of abrin toxin bioforensics capabilities
(2021-08-24)Abrin toxin, located in the seeds of Abrus precatorius, is a potent Type II Ribosome-Inactivating Protein (RIP) A-B subunit toxin that has acquired a heightened biothreat profile over the past decade. Significant research ... -
Assessing swine meat juice for the detection of foot-and-mouth disease virus by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbant assays, and pen-side lateral flow immunoassays
(2022)Many infectious diseases concern agricultural sectors globally. Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) is one of the most contagious diseases that causes severe infections in cloven-hoofed animals. Animals that become infected by ... -
Behaviour of GFRP-reinforced concrete circular columns under simulated seismic loading
(2021)Columns in earthquake-resistant reinforced concrete (RC) structures need adequate confinement to exhibit stable seismic response with satisfactory level of deformability. Circular RC columns can be confined using spirals ... -
Biochemically investigating the roles of papain-like proteases from +ssRNA viruses in replication and innate immune suppression
(2021-08)Positive-sense single-stranded RNA (+ssRNA) viruses are diverse in the way their genomes are packaged, polyproteins are arranged, and the hosts they infect. They often produce similar proteins despite different hosts, one ... -
Characterization of outer membrane vesicle production and composition by cationic antimicrobial-adapted Escherichia coli
(2021-08-21)Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health problem, exacerbated by the widespread use of antimicrobials in healthcare, agriculture, and industrial settings. Cationic antimicrobials (CAs) such as the therapeutic ... -
Characterization of the human transcriptome diversity and its implication in identifying cancer-specific regions of transcripts
(2021-11-15)The emergence of exons and introns in eukaryotes has increased the potential of gene products and their functional diversity to a greater extent than in prokaryotes. In humans, the transcriptome has the highest percentage ... -
Characterizing and therapeutically exploiting chromosome instability induced by USP22 deficiency in colorectal cancer
(2021)Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains the second leading cause of cancer-associated deaths in Canada. To develop new treatments with enhanced efficacy, a greater understanding of the processes driving CRC pathogenesis is required. ... -
Circadian clock regulates metabolism and cardiac myocyte survival during cardiovascular stress
(2021)Disruption of the normal circadian clock has been associated with greater incidence of cardiovascular disease in shift workers. While the underlying mechanisms for this phenomenon remains poorly understood, recent evidence ... -
A community-driven genomic investigation of Helicobacter pylori isolates from Indigenous communities in the Arctic of Canada.
(2022)Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative, flagellate, microaerophilic member of the Epsilonproteobacteria, with a spiral or curved bacilli morphology (Marshall and Warren 1984). The bacterium resides in the human stomach, ... -
A comparative evaluation of processing of yellow peas (Pisum sativum L.) with hot air and superheated steam
(2020-05-13)The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of hot air (HA) and superheated steam (SS) processing methods on the functional and nutritional properties of yellow peas. Moisture content, drying characteristics, ... -
Conformational landscape, internal dynamics, and non-covalent interactions of flexible molecular systems by rotational spectroscopy and quantum chemistry calculations
(2021-08-23)Non-covalent interactions govern the three-dimensional structures of molecules and are thus central to their function, reactivity, and spectroscopic fingerprints, but despite this pivotal role, remain undercharacterized. ... -
Data analysis for beehive monitoring system
(2021)We can increase the production of honey from honeybees, if we optimize the conditions affecting its production in their hive. To do this, and to enable better decision-making, we need to understand the relationships that ... -
Deconvolution of bulk gene expression profiles to characterize the tumour immune landscape of early onset breast cancer
(2021-08)Introduction: Young age at diagnosis (age < 40) is considered to be an independent factor for poor clinical outcomes in breast cancer patients. Patterns of tumour infiltrating lymphocytes may provide insight into the ... -
Design principles and application of a wearable vibration device for individuals with proprioception deficiency
(2021)Proprioception deteriorates as a result of both healthy aging and injuries to the nervous system. Effective and efficient limb control requires accurate feedback from the moving limbs, thus any change in proprioception has ... -
Development of a functional 3D bioprinted model of vascular smooth muscle cells
(2022)Background: As many as 6.8 in 1000 live births are affected by a life-threatening condition called persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). Structural defects of the blood vessels and extracellular space ... -
Development of a novel method for β-hexosaminidase A purification and investigation of the transport of an engineered enzyme across the blood-brain barrier
(2021)Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) and Sandhoff disease (SD) are severe autosomal recessive genetic disorders caused by loss-of-function mutations in the HEXA and HEXB genes encoding the heterodimeric enzyme β-hexosaminidase A (HexA). ... -
Development of safe storage guidelines for kabuli chickpeas (Cicer arietinum.L)
