Quantitative identification of PPCPs in Osisko Lake for the first time will be achieved using LC MS/MS equipment. Six antibiotics, five anti-inflammatories, one antidepressant, one anxiolytic, three preservative compounds used in personal care products and caffeine will be detected in water and sediments of the lake using specific standards. Quantification methods will be validated. The […]

This research project will investigate how an automated plastic recycling system will function in three academic institutions. The goal is to re-imagine and rework the traditional recycling supply chain by decentralizing and vertically integrating plastic recycling. This will be accomplished through an extensive literature review and experiments that will allow the three academic institutions to […]

This proposal is to conduct applied research to support the development and implementation of the Digital Aviation Records System (DARS). The goal of DARS is to digitally transform aviation operational support systems. Despite the advanced technology on the flight deck and the innovative engineering that is used in modern aircraft, the operational support systems (the […]

The pandemic has shown us the importance of controlling different routes of transmission of infectious diseases. In order to slow down or stop infectious diseases, cleaning and disinfection of ‘high-touch’ surfaces need to be performed regularly. However, the development of an effective antiviral surface coating provides an additional protection layer against disease transmission. In this […]

RepliCel is a regenerative medicine company that develops autologous cell therapies to treat chronic tendinosis, UV-damaged or aged skin, and pattern baldness. The cells in this technology are isolated from skin biopsies obtained from patients. However, because of limited available tissue samples, RepliCel seeks novel technologies to improve their cell culture process, which is currently […]

Electronic Article Surveillance systems, which are used to help retailers detect shoplifted items, suffer from two major problems. First, the systems often fail to detect EAS tags/labels that are present within the ‘detection zone’ of the gate. Secondly, false detection indications when EAS tags/label are not present within the ‘detection zone’ of the gate. As […]

Hemp processing produces two products, the baste fibres, which make up the outer layers, has been used for hundreds of years for it’s sturdy long fibres in textiles, rope manufacturing and much more, however the inner components, or Hurd, have yet to find much widespread use beyond paper manufacturing and as animal bedding. This project […]

The metallurgical industry is currently facing challenges to reduce the green gas emission of fossil fuels. Biochar, driven from woody biomass, are the renewable promising material as a green reducing agent. However, the low bulk density, mechanical strength and the high reactivity of biochar are the main barriers limiting their efficient utilization and transportation at […]

L’objectif du projet est de créer une antenne imprimée (microstrip) sur un substrat à déterminer. Cette antenne devra fonctionner sur une bande de fréquences précise (24.000 GHz à 24.500 GHz) et devra aussi éviter autant que possible de réféchir les signaux vers le générateur afin d’être efficace. Afin de bien répondre aux besoins de l’entreprise, […]

The sponsor company, Tigercat specializes in the design and manufacturing of premium quality forestry equipment and specialized off-road industrial equipment. This four months internship project will provide the company a set of load cases validated on a new design, optimized detail 3D and 2D models, selected material lists, and FEA simulation results of a tracked […]

With the global pandemic effect, the market is experiencing a significant transformation, with robotics to adopt the roles of delivery vehicles and personal assistants. Atlantic Business Express is looking at bring the service robots to Canada, starting in Nova Scotia through working with Dalhousie University. The project is to develop intelligent path planner for mobile […]

Functionally graded materials (FGM) offer a better alternative than the conventional coating techniques since it eliminates the sudden change in composition between different materials. This project proposes to print FGM biomedical implants using a combination of titanium (Ti) powder and hydroxyapatite (HA) powder. Titanium will offer the required mechanical strength for load-bearing implants, while HA […]
