Pour des constructeurs des pompes hydrauliques, la conception, la fabrication et la caracterisation des pompes centrifuges presentent toujours un grand defi. Une meilleure fabrication de ce type des pompes exige une determination avec precision de tous les parametres cies des composantes de la pompeo II s’agira, dans Ie cadre de celie proposition de recherche, de […]

There is an urgent need to develop antiviral coatings that would be applied to functional surfaces such as personal protection equipment (PPE) and others to arrest the spreading of COVID-19. In this project, the University of Waterloo researchers will work with industry partner, SiO2 Innovation Labs, to develop an optimal composition of such antiviral coating […]

Recommendations is one of the main ways Kobo users discover content on the platform. By using purchase history, Kobo can suggest other books similar to a certain item. However, this does not provide meaningfulrecommendations in some cases, especially for bestsellers and fiction books. Currently, only for books that have no purchase history does Kobo supply […]

The proposed research aims to optimize the use of DMSO as a lixiviant in gold recovery. To date, mercury and cyanide are the popular lixiviants used in the gold processing industry. These chemicals are harmful to both the environment and humans, and have been the major concern in gold mining. The proposed lixiviant, DMSO, is […]

Thousands of 3D printers across Canada are producing PPE for frontline workers. Different printers and materials affect the quality and safe re-usability of parts. Trying to track down this information for every single one of millions of parts would be impossible. The purpose of this project is to improve the quality and safe re-use of […]

Current video codecs consider algorithms to analyze video imagery in order to find out which bits can be removed for file size reduction without subjective video frame degradation. Integrating AI with encoding process improves the quality of encoding and decoding. AI permits the software to proactively assess the quality of the encoded video before transmission. […]

The accurate knowledge of origin/destination traffic matrices allows network operators to efficiently perform network management operations to maximize network performance (minimize network congestion, average delay, jitter, energy consumption, etc.) and increase network reliability in case of device failures and other exceptional events. However, traffic matrices cannot be directly measured, and network operators, such Videotron, can […]

Researchers around the world are racing to find treatment solutions to combat COVID-19, the disease cause by infection of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). The use of antiretroviral therapy has recently shown preliminary promise. However, a barrier relates to bioavailability challenges, i.e., poor uptake, of these drugs. Poor bioavailability limits drug utility which could be paramount […]

The COVID-19 crisis in Canada has transformed from one of containment to one of mitigation, as the disease has begun to spread through the community, slowed by “social distancing.” An ideal mitigation strategy requires extensive testing to determine (i) who has COVID-19, (ii) who has recovered from it (presumably with immunity), and (iii) who has […]
