Bombardier Transportation’s (BT) recently developed Innovia 300 Monorail prototype vehicle will be tested on a new monorail test track/guideway at BT’s Millhaven, Ontario facility. Of the 150 + reinforced concrete beams that make up the guideway, one of the beams is reinforced using glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars. Structural monitoring of the beams will […]

Agile management techniques are designed to be responsive to unpredictable project changes along the manufacturing process. Such changes result from the sensitivity and particular requirements of different projects. These projects require multiple dependencies that evolve during the project execution. Agile techniques aim to prevent costly (i.e., inefficient) and wasteful planning (i.e., ineffective) that can lead […]

Spinal cord pathology causes significant burden to the individual and society-at-large. Treatment is complex and made more difficult by difficulties in clinical imaging of the cord microstructure. Using recent advances in image acquisition techniques and image processing toolsets, this project will investigate a semi-automated pipeline to visualize boundaries of spinal cord pathology for the purpose […]

With the growth of the social networks and mobile gaming devices in recent years, the social gaming became an important part of the game industry. These social games provide huge amount of data about the users’ behaviors, an important issue for the gaming companies is to analyze this data and model the choices and behavior […]

Factory-built structural insulated panels are used for off-site building construction to minimize the labour needed for construction framing, which aims to save construction time and improve the quality of the installation. The panels, instead of using wood or steel framing, are the structural support for walls. Although the insulated panels provide structure, additional reinforcements are […]

Pour se faire, Ie suivi des mouvements oculaires des joueurs sera enregistre lors de sessions de jeu. L’analyse du mouvement des yeux mise en lien avec I’etat cognitif et […]

CRISPR/Cas9 is a promising tool for genome engineering in bacteria, but it’s limited by inconsistent accuracy. Though some studies have been conducted to understand why this inconsistency occurs, many important biological features have not been explored. Moreover, computer based attempts to predict accuracy have suffered from these knowledge gaps. This is due mainly to the […]

Pultrall produces FRP bars for several applications in the construction industry. Although the advantage of using advanced materials in civil engineering is outstanding, the company needs more information regarding the performance of its product in fire. Material tests will be conducted on FRP bars at high temperature and full-scale fire tests on FRP reinforced concrete […]

Computer Generated Solutions (CGS) is developing a chatbot to train health-related customer support human agents. In this research, an intelligent sentiment-based chat bot is to be modeled and designed to act as a client to train the client-facing representatives who would be able to help clients more effectively. The main objectives of this internship are […]

Salt splitting is a technology in which an electrochemical cell containing 2 membranes to transport positive and negative ions, is used to produce sulfuric acid and caustic soda from sodium sulfate, a compound found commonly from industrial brine streams. Salt splitting electrolysis is a sustainable solution for the expanding markets of acid and caustic recovery […]

[Reseach Abstract. Project Overview missing] simulation package available) to simulate a zooming system composed of tunable liquid crystal lenses that is capable of aberration correction. The first component of the project consists of simulating a liquid crystal lens in COMSOL. The liquid crystals rearrange themselves based on a space varying electric field created by the […]
