Extem supplies research grade mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and is looking to differentiate themselves by providing a proprietary human-derived growth media to replace the cow-derived fetal bovine serum (FBS) typically used. Pooled platelet lysate (PPL) may be a viable alternative. However, existing PPL methods lack quality control, standardization, and can result in up to 50% […]

Unlike services provided by current mobile networks only focus on voice and data, the services provided by 5G networks can range from high data rate services (e.g., VR) to ultra-reliable low latency communication (e.g., vehicle communication). Therefore, a more flexible and effective 5G mobile network is expected to be designed and operated. Network virtualization and […]

Several customer satisfaction problems are identified in service industry as the causes of inefficiencies, and then further they could potentially lead to value destruction and loss of competitiveness. Such emerging organizational threats can be turned into opportunities by integrating a customer satisfaction management module into the existing operating software tool. The objective is to develop […]

Les changements climatiques sont une réalité qui pousse l’industrie automobile à tenter de réduire leur empreinte écologique. De nouvelles normes environnementales obligent la réduction de consommation en carburant des nouveaux véhicules et les compagnies manufacturières se tournent dorénavant vers l’utilisation de matériaux composites légers pour des applications structurelles. L’objectif du projet de recherche est de […]

Recent studies demonstrated that biochar produced from the thermochemical decomposition of biomass at high temperatures without oxygen (pyrolysis) can be used as a soil amendment to improve soil properties, sequester carbon and reduce soil greenhouse gas emissions. However, uniform and safe application of biochar in field is a drawback, due to the low density and […]

The Kearl Treatment Wetland (KTW) is a 1 ha constructed wetland designed to treat runoff wastewater on the Kearl Oil Sands site in northern Alberta. This research studies the reclamation capacity of the KTW, and attempts to evaluate an environmental model that estimates chemical partitioning and removal efficiency. To evaluate the levels of contaminants entering […]

Ce projet permettra de préparer des revêtements extérieurs pour le bois possédant plusieurs caractéristiques nécessaires (résistance aux UV, résistance à l’eau, résistance au feu, etc.) à une utilisation plus accrue du bois, que ce soit pour des applications résidentielles, commerciales, industrielles, etc. Ce projet vise le développement de revêtement appliqués en une seule couche mais […]

Nanomaterials are the fundamental building blocks of nanotechnology. Despite the advances in nanomaterial synthesis, no reliable technique exists to characterize their physical properties. The key challenge lies with the lack of accurate force and displacement feedback. To tackle the problem, leading researchers from University of Toronto and from Toronto Nano Instrumentation (TNI) Inc. are working […]

Water quality concerns, such as algae blooms, are common in many aquatic systems across the country. Increasing development along waterfront properties and climate change are leading stressors causing poor water quality. In this project, an intern will apply a three-dimensional computer model to help understand how these stressors are contributing to poor water in Mississippi […]

There is no memorandum project overview associated with this application.

Maintenance Engineering (ME) at Bombardier Aerospace, Toronto is currently offering a 3-day-in-class Reliability and Maintenance Cost Training to airlines operating Bombardier products. The idea behind this training package is to increase the understanding of the breadth of data that needs to be collected to make logical inferences and analytical methods that can be applied to […]

This project is a statistical study to verify whether the average interval between each heavy maintenance inspection checks, also known as C-Checks, can be escalated from 6000 Flight Hours (FH) to 8000 FH for Q400 aircraft. The internship serves as a crucial part of this heavily analysis- and review-oriented process. Interns are responsible for three […]
