There are four main objectives for the proposed project: (1) To investigate three techniques of aiding the wet screening process including: (a) inclined screening combined with water jets, (b) sonication, and (c) a combination of those two techniques, to find optimum operating conditions for each technique and allow them to be evaluated and compared. (2) […]

The founder of Pawsome Concierge has worked in the Dairy industry for over 10 years and has lots of experience and knowledge in the overall food industry in Canada. When she realized there were no standards and regulations in Canada for the pet food industry, she took it upon herself to start making homemade 100% […]

Afin de contribuer à la transition énergétique qui abandonne progressivement l’utilisation des énergies fossiles et ainsi répondre aux objectifs fixés par le Canada en matière de changement climatique, ce projet vise à fabriquer une membrane imprimée avec des catalyseurs capable de produire de l’hydrogène à partir de l’eau à faible coût. Pour y parvenir, divers […]

Precast concrete is used in many types of structures including those serving commercial, multi-unit residential, and industrial uses. Hollow core prestressed slabs (or planks) are one type of precast concrete that is used primarily for flooring systems. These planks have advantages of being able to span long distances while being relatively thin and light when […]

This project will help develop the foundation for understanding on the specific needs car owners when dealing with the car repair indsuty, while simultaneously developing a community of support and a trusted source for information related to owning and maintianing a car.

CAPSolar développe un module à énergie solaire unique en son genre, conçu spécifiquement pour les véhicules électriques à basse vitesse. Ce système permet de prolonger l’autonomie des véhicules ainsi que la durée de vie de leur batterie de manière à optimiser la gestion des flottes commerciales de ce type de véhicule et réduire leur empreinte […]

Le processus de planification des approvisionnements dans le secteur forestier est souvent effectué manuellement, basé sur les expériences et les intuitions des planificateurs. Cependant, cette méthode limite la quantité de variables, d’objectifs et de contraintes dont il est possible de tenir compte. La grande diversité des paires origine-destination et des produits, le morcellement du territoire […]

The selective and direct metallization (electroless plating) of low-cost FFF 3D printed objects will be investigated in this research project. After 3D printing, the workpiece will be directly subjected to the electroless plating process (skipping the etching and catalyzation steps). We show that conventional low-cost conductive composite filaments loaded with metals can be used for […]

A helical pile is a screw steel pile comprising a small diameter hollow shaft welded with one or multiple helices. It has been widely used to retrofit structures or provide foundation support for infrastructure. The current research and design practice of helical piles have heavily focused on the “capacity”. In contrast, little attention has been […]

Cannabinoid uniformity plays an important role on the quality and marketability of cannabis. Several strategies to optimize cannabinoid uniformity have not been extensively researched to date. The objective of this study is to evaluate lighting and defoliation strategies to maximize yield and uniformity of cannabinoids throughout cannabis plants. A randomized block design will be used […]

Presently, it is significant to reduce CO2 emission and other greenhouse gas emissions. One of the major CO2 emission contributors is transportation sector. To reduce emissions and achieve a zero-emission society, the use of H2 as a fuel in ground, air, and marine transportation, a feedstock in petrochemical industry, and an energy carrier for energy […]

This Mitacs project will undertake bridge inspections of 33 road bridges in Ontario to determine locations and level of damages in these bridges and suggest appropriate rehabilitation techniques to keep these bridges in service. The data collected will be added to the current pool of similar data already collected by the industry partner, MEDA to […]
