This project will develop new operational management systems by combining the elements of Lean, Agile, Green, Resilient and Nutrition (LAGRN) management of the dairy supply chain. The supply chain of Parmalat Canada will be used as a case study. This study is particularly significant for a company like Parmalat Canada, as it is trying to […]

Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology demonstrates great ability of fabricating complex geometry and reducing buy-to-fly (BTF) ratio. The objective of the Héroux-Devtek R&D project is to build a relationship between post-fusion processes and material properties for additively manufactured Ti64 landing gear components. From the previous studies, promising heat-treatments were identified. In this project, studies will only […]

CAE is the world-leading supplier of flight simulators and training services. Intensive competition for scarce resource exists in the multi-project environment at CAE. Without standard evaluation and objective prioritization of projects, it is difficult to allocate resources in an efficient and optimal way. From the proposed research project, CAE can expect to receive a method […]

Scientists need more and more computing resources to do research. At the same time, a huge amount of available computing resources is currently completely ignored in all the devices and computers we use to surf the Web. All that computing power could be used to make progress on research about cancer, climate change, epidemiology, etc. […]

The objective of the proposed research project is to develop a realistic color appearance model based on the human visual system’s functioning that addresses the issue of reflections under high luminance levels. This will be incorporated into algorithms used in the color reproduction and retargeting algorithms of OLED displays. This model should give rise to […]

Continuous fibre (CF) aerospace preforms exhibiting excellent mechanical performance possess low formability characteristics and are confined to simple shell-like geometries with minimal curvatures. On the other hand, short fibre preforms such as randomly oriented strands (ROS) offer high formability but exhibit low mechanical performance. The manufacturing of composites involves time and huge costs. The overall […]

The following proposal is to research and develop Net Zero Energy (NZE) capable sustainable design strategies for Legado, a large building development planned for Griffintown, Montreal. Two interns will work with 7983859 CANADA INC. under the supervision of professors from the School of Architecture at McGill University and the Centre for Zero Energy Building Studies […]

Agriculture demands more water than any other process in the world and is related to 90% of water use in India. India irrigates nearly half of all its cultivated land, while groundwater resources are being depleted at a rate that is threatening the endurance of India’s agricultural economy. The interplay between food security, water resources, […]

Reduction in C release to atmosphere and sequestering in soil has shown strong potential to combat climate change and only possible source where city landscapes can sequester C in soil is mainly in the lawns. Researching on new varieties on lawn grasses to increase C sequestration has the potential to reduce grower’s resilience on high […]

Transition cows (3 wk before calving until 3 wk after calving) often suffer from negative energy and protein balances due to reduced feed intake, but increased nutrient demands for milk production. In Canada, up to 50% of transition cows may be affected by a metabolic (ketosis, hypocalcemia, and milk fever) or infectious (retained placenta, displaced […]

Destress blasting is a rockburst control technique where highly stressed rock is lightly blasted to reduce stress. This technique is currently used in Canadian mines to reduce stresses around mine production openings. In this research project, the intern will build a numerical model to simulate the destress blasting that will be undertaken at a Canadian […]

Much is still unknown about the early Earth environment. In this study we are exploring the Archean Eon (4.0-2.5 billion years ago) through micron scale measurements of multiple sulfur isotopes on 3.5 billion year old fluid inclusions from Western Australia. Different bacteria reflect unique environments, which they occupy and some species have been linked to […]
