From its particular focus on HIV/AIDS, Remediating the AIDS Archive looks to historical methods of activist information-sharing through filmmaking and film festivals. This project is not simply historical in nature, however. It also interrogates the ways in which the history of HIV/AIDS is remembered through LGBT2Q+-based cultural representation, the ways in which the HIV/AIDS crisis […]

The industrial partner is fabricating fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite polymer pipe products for use primarily in the oil and gas sector. This research project explores methods for damage and leakage detection for these piping systems. Of primary interest is Acoustic Emission (AE) testing to isolate, localize and identify damage effects. In this context, the design and […]

ApoSys is applying the new method to develop an affordable north seeking gyroscopic compass for multiple applications. The cost of such device is too high to be used in many industrial processes. For example the mining industry the device is shared by a few groups of workers to reduce the cost. It has problems for […]

With the development of information technology, people’s requirements for computing storage capacity are also increasing. And cloud storage is an important part of the system architecture for implementing cloud platform. Although many studies believe that cloud platforms provide a reliable and secure data storage center, the security problem is still the main problem in cloud […]

We are proposing an innovative platform (The Airbox) for vertical/indoor farming using UV-LED lighting. The Airbox offers a self-contained, highly controlled environment with vertical farming techniques in conjunction with hydroponic methods all in a very compact footprint. We wish to optimize the Airbox for medical Cannabis applications, and extend its applicability to other plants and […]

The future of aerospace technology relies on us investing in lighter, more fuel-efficient materials that can operate at hotter temperature with greater corrosion resistance. One such alloy that has the potential to meet these needs is the new aluminum alloy A205. In this work we aim to develop a hard anodising process for the A205 […]

Two overarching approaches to allocate the aggregate risk capital stand out nowadays. These are the top-down approach that entails that the allocation exercise is imposed by the corporate centre, and the bottom-up approach that implies that the allocation of the aggregate risk to business units is informed by these units. Briefly, the top-down allocations start […]

Kelvin Thermal Storage is developing a technology to convert the inexpensive, off-peak/excess or renewable energy into a thermal energy. The technology uses graphite as the heat storage media and carbon composites as heating elements. In order to protect the carbon based components from oxidation by the heat-carrying media (an inert gas containing trace amounts of […]

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are essential for plant growth, yet their genetics are very poorly understood. The proposed research aims to identify the genetic identify and symbiotic potential of AMF strains currently cultivated by an industrial partner. The ultimate goal is to determine if a certain AMF genotype can be beneficial to boost the yield […]

Acrylamide is a food contaminant that is formed in a variety of food products upon heating. Baked cereal products are one of the most important sources of acrylamide in our daily diet. The formation of acrylamide needs to be tightly controlled, and, if possible, be avoided. This project is focusing on the effect of ingredient […]

The aim of this research and development project for the intern student is to assist in validation tests (both in-vitro and in-vivo) of a GI sampling capsule device being developed by the organization and translate the testing results and the new knowledge to technical documents for the potential customers and partners of the organization. In-vitro […]
