Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) is increasingly used in research to map the microstructure and composition of the brain non-invasively. In contrast to conventional “weighted” MR imaging, qMRI requires the acquisition of several images with different contrast weightings. The data at each voxel is subsequently fit to a signal equation to extract features of the […]

Accurate, reproducible endoscopic reports that provide standardized data on the nature and location of GI tract lesions are critical to quality improvement in endoscopy, particularly with respect to colonoscopy performed for colorectal cancer screening and surveillance. In addition, accurate, verifiable performance-enhancing feedback is essential for training future endoscopists and for supporting continued skills enhancement for […]

The production of formate salts – one of the most preferable chemicals for de-icing via electrocatalytic CO2 reduction is currently a promising technology. Lignocellulosic biomass is a potential material for the manufacture of electrocatalysts because of not only its great abundance and availability but its conversion inducing graphite-based materials, which are excellent catalyst supports. The […]

The most energy intensive component of mineral processing is comminution (crushing and grinding), consuming, on average, about 50% of the total electric energy of a mine site. To optimize and thereby improve the energy performance, accurate measurement of the ore hardness is critical. The proposed study is aimed at developing a new test apparatus that […]

Research is committed to developing innovative solutions to meet the demands of the construction industry in a scientific base. New engineering processes are established, through investigations and research, to improve quality, design and product cost. Integrating fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars into lightweight self-consolidating concrete (LWSCC) would effectively contribute to producing lighter and more durable reinforced […]

The Quidi Vidi / Rennie’s River Development Foundation (QVRRDF) is developing a Power Tower initiative to promote the use of renewable energy and conservation practices in Newfoundland and Labrador. The proposed project will provide the knowledge, understanding, and confidence needed to incorporate advanced wind turbine technology into the QVRRDF’s Power Tower. Installation of a small […]

The manufacture of “smart devices” requires a large number of connected, low-cost embedded digital systems that are typically electronically connected on circuit boards. Our project develops a system to integrate functional materials directly into these boards which can provide or extend the capabilities of devices with functionalities such as memory, batteries or sensors. We develop […]

The proposed project aims to construct a robust and versatile roll-to-roll (R2R) magnetron sputtering system for thin film deposition. That system will favor the production of thin films of different materials with tailored properties and functionality onto flexible substrates in a single step. This will be made through a system composed of different stations with […]

There are many international efforts to modernizing the current aging power grid towards an efficient grid known as “smart grid” (SG). To implement SG, many sensors are attached to different points of the power grid infrastructure. These sensors collect data and can be used for controlling, protecting, and monitoring the status of the grid by […]

Le projet consiste à solutionner la dichotomie qui existe entre le site web principal de l’organisme partenaire qui lui, vient d’être refait en utilisant les dernières technologies web disponibles, et son système dédié au support technique. De plus, ce dernier n’étant pas responsif, il peut être difficile d’utilisation pour les clients. Enfin, le contenu de […]

Hybrid Power Solutions Inc. was founded in 2015 in response to the need for better-performing portable electric systems. The potential of electric systems has yet to be grasped, and with the advent of battery technology, compact componentry, and miniature high-power motors, the time is now. Hybrid Power Solutions produces patent-pending portable battery systems and customized […]

Le projet consiste à développer une nouvelle génération de magnétomètre qui mesure les propriétés magnétiques d’un matériau. Cet appareil consiste à faire osciller un échantillon de matériau dans un tube d’une bobine de détection à une autre. Ce présent stage se concentrera d’abord sur le contrôle du mouvement vertical de l’échantillon. Cela implique la conception […]
