Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has tremendous potential to detect incipient structural failures in various components, e.g., onset of fatigue damage, corrosion, spalling and delamination in the structures during their service life, so that preventive actions can be employed in a timely manner. St. Clair Region Conservation Authority (SCRCA) has felt immediate need for real-time monitoring […]

Despite significant development of various construction materials, masonry is still considered as one of the most cost-effective materials. However, they are often vulnerable to wind-induced lateral loads caused during construction stage (within 1 to 2 days of construction) when the masonry is yet to achieve full strength. Temporary bracing systems are often used to support […]

BioLiNE Corporation is a technology innovator, focused on providing advanced, science-based solutions for sustainable crop production. BioLiNE® products have consistently demonstrated superior results helping farmers grow healthier crops with higher yield and exceptional quality. One of the active ingredients in some of our products is fulvic acid, an extremely complex organic acid produced in nature […]

Maternal, and childhood mortality and morbidity rates continue to rise in conflict affected areas. The Canadian Red Cross (CRC) is collaborating with the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) to implement Advanced Health Partnership (AHP) framework to provide health care to populations directly in war zones and conflict settings, without access to healthcare as a […]

Meteorite impact events into water-bearing targets, though initially detrimental, can provide an environment for rock/water interactions promoting metabolically relevant chemistry required for early life to assemble. The resulting hydrothermal systems are found on Earth as well as Mars. Based on the biological implication of impact-generated lithologies on Earth, there is reason to believe Mars may […]

The objective of the proposed internship is to help support the launch of Phase 2 of an app created by ParticipACTION, Canada’s leading non-profit physical activity organization. The goal of the free app is to motivate inactive Canadians to sit less and move more. This will entail liaising with key experts and organizations in the […]

The origin of Supermassive Black Holes that are observed to exist in the early Universe is one of the key questions in astronomy. There are different models that try to explain how these black holes formed and grew in a short period of time. One such model is the collision of protostars resulting in massive […]

The proposed project will provide characterization of the pneumatic transport system used at the St Marys Cement plant using an approach based on Computational Fluid Dynamics combined with selected experiments. The commercial softwares ICEM and FLUENT will be used to develop the computational model and run the simulations of the flow. The model will be […]

Age Related Macular Degeneration is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in Canada and the industrialized world, yet there are no treatments for most patients. Tracery Ophthalmics has developed an imaging method, “AMD Imaging” (AMDI) that has generated unprecedented pictures of the retina (film of the eye) that include both known and unknown “flavours” of […]

Demand for water and wastewater treatment equipment has grown substantially over the last several years, leading to a significant increase in the market size for technology providers such as Trojan. To maintain the cutting-edge nature and quality of Trojan products, it is essential that the research and testing performed at Trojan match this expansion in […]

Ultraviolet (UV) photoreactors for water treatment comprise UV lamps encased in quartz sleeves, immersed in the water to be treated. Over time, these quartz sleeves become fouled with materials from the water, reducing the amount of UV available for treatment. This phenomenon requires that the systems be over-sized and often include costly automatic cleaning systems […]

Canadian math scores are in decline. Numerous studies have demonstrated the importance of numerical proficiency for outcomes such as health, employability and financial stability. Therefore, the effectiveness of a child’s math education is key to future success. It is of utmost importance, then, to identify effective math education programs. The proposed project will evaluate JUMP […]
