In spine research, a great effort is made to understand the various spinal conditions. Optima Health Solutions, a leading organization in spinal care and research, has been performing MAR Analysis to measure the Mean Axis of Rotation of joints in the cervical spine, to help better understand, treat, and prevent chronic neck pain in patients. […]

Cloud, which is no longer a future trend, has led to a paradigm shift in the design of security services. With so many dynamic features offered by cloud service providers, the assessment of potential threats, cloud vulnerabilities and software security concerns can help in securing cloud customers from inside and outside threat. In this research, […]

Additive manufacturing is making tremendous strides in transforming the manufacturing landscape. While there now exist many new technologies for performing additive manufacturing there remain significant challenges in reducing part cost, part rejection rates and overall part quality. A big part of the work that remains to be done is in better understanding the relationship between […]

Semi-active suspension systems (SASSs) are becoming more prevalent in passenger vehicles on the road. These systems have been demonstrated to improve ride and handling performance of passenger vehicles. This project will provide a means to subjectively evaluate the performance of SASSs using a dynamic driving simulator. A controller model of a SASS will be created […]

Le projet CHANGE est une étude multicentrique qui a pour but de renverser le syndrome métabolique, c’est-à-dire de ramener vers la normalité la condition de personnes à risque de développer le diabète. En pratique, le diagnostic de syndrome métabolique est posé par le médecin de famille qui réfère par la suite son patient à un […]

White light emission from blue-emitting Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) is now replacing virtually all other types of lighting and display lighting in commercial and residential sectors. Currently, such LEDs are made using gallium indium nitride, gallium indium aluminum phosphide and gallium arsenide compounds that are expensive to produce. Instead we are seeking to use very […]

1 in 5 people suffer from a mental illness, such as depression, Alzheimer’s & Parkinon’s during their lifetime. Currently, there are no treatments for these diseases, because the underlying causes of these diseases is not known. Neurescence has developed a technology that is essential for understanding how local and long range neuronal circuits form to […]

The North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) is an international partnership to conserve abundant and resilient waterfowl populations and sustainable landscapes. Through their work with the four Canadian NAWMP Joint Ventures, Ducks Unlimited Canada collaborate on waterfowl and habitat management issues, including social issues that are relevant to wetland and waterfowl conservation. This project will […]

The mining industry is a key economic driver for Northern Ontario, and mine and associated support and processing facility closures result, therefore, in significant impacts on the local community direct and indirect employment and economy. Despite each mining operation representing a significant investment in preparation, transport, infrastructure and technology, much, if not all, is lost […]

Cerebral aneurysm (CA) is an abnormal dilation of the cerebral arterial wall and accounts for more than half a million deaths worldwide annually. Flow diverters (FDs) are commonly used to treat CAs but have deficiencies in certain anatomies. In partnership with Evasc Medical System Inc., whose area of expertise is developing treatments for CA, we […]

In the last decade optimization is expanded in many applications from food production to sophisticated applications such as engine fuel efficiency. In the proposed package, it is tried to apply optimization techniques along with physics based analytical and semi-analytical methodologies to create a compelling framework which can help thermal-process based oil industry to reduce their […]

Researchers at Ontario Tech University are collaborating with McClymont and Rak geotechnical engineers to develop a new sustainable thermal storage technology that addresses the main challenges that have prevented geothermal heating and cooling systems from being adopted in a meaningful way in Ontario. An innovative storage medium, based on a construction slurry, will be developed […]
