Athletic footwear is designed to enhance performance, comfort, and injury prevention. Current midsoles provide a level of performance that cannot be changed after fabrication, forcing a user to wear different pairs of shoes, each specialized for a given sports activity. For example, running shoes require high energy return for efficiency, whereas basketball shoes prioritize energy […]

The project aims to enhance energy efficiency of buildings by studying thermal break devices at the connection between balcony slabs and floor slab. The intern will design and build floor assembly incorporating the design with the help of the indutry partner. This assembly will be tested at Queen’s niversity to examine the strength and stability […]

Patient safety events (PSEs) describe instances of avoidable harm within healthcare settings, and among these are serious safety events (SSEs) which represent significant patient harm or death. SSEs are reported by staff and undergo review to investigate factors contributing to the events and develop interventions to prevent recurrence and improve safety. Patients from marginalized backgrounds […]

A Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) is a satellite communication technology that enables two-way data transmission between a ground station and a satellite. It is used for data, voice, and video communications, particularly in remote or underserved areas lacking adequate terrestrial infrastructure, ensuring reliable and secure communication for both personal and commercial needs. Optimizing the […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

This project addresses the significant demand for composite piping capable of withstanding elevated temperatures and/or pressure in water service and oil and gas transportation. In collaboration with Flexpipe at Mattr Infrastructure Technologies, we aim to develop rapid testing methods for designing and manufacturing large-diameter spoolable fiber-reinforced composite piping. Our focus is on exploring alternative procedures […]

Pour répondre aux nouvelles exigences des consommateurs, l’industrie ovocole vise à modifier la façon de produire en transitant des systèmes de cages traditionnelles vers des systèmes de logement alternatifs, tels que les cages enrichies et les volières. Ce changement, bien qu’avantageux pour le bien-être animal, complique la gestion de la qualité de l’air en raison […]

This project addresses the growing problem of plastic waste by developing a method to recycle waste plastics into high-quality materials. Interns will work with Polystyvert, a recycling technology provider, to create a new type of recycled ABS (rABS) plastic using waste materials. They will experiment with blending recycled SAN (rSAN) with both virgin and recycled […]

This project aims to improve medical isotope imaging for the diagnosis of patients with heart disease, specifically those with plaque buildup in the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle.

The vestibular balance system detects linear and angular head motion and plays a role in stabilization of human balance and walking. Age-related vestibular disruptions increase fall risks for a large fraction of our elderly populations and make it increasingly difficult to continue living activity and independently, both of which have very large associated healthcare costs. […]

Polyvinylchloride’s (PVC’s) exceptional mechanical properties and chemical stability make it an ideal material for applications in infrastructure. The PVC pipes that are widely used in municipal water systems, irrigation, and industry are sustainable, long-lasting, and resistant to weathering and leaking. Yet, degradation during recycling makes PVC exceedingly difficult to recycle, limiting its sustainability. Phthalate plasticizers […]

On estime que 31,9 millions de Nord-Américains (11,7 %) sont des “utilisateurs” d’au moins une sorte de drogue illicite et que jusqu’à 8 % des conducteurs conduisent sous l’effet d’une de ces drogues. D’ailleurs, selon une étude récente, 43,6% des conducteurs mortellement blessés en 2016 ont été testés positifs aux drogues. Le marché mondial des […]
