This research project is intended to assess the efficacy of thin film reactors in achieving disinfection of opaque fluids (juices, milk, and wine). These opaque fluids present new challenges for reactor testing and modeling. A thin film reactor will be implemented and its performance will be evaluated against opaque fluids. Consequently numerical modeling will be […]

The Centre for Operations Excellence Industry Projects 2019 consists of seven sub-projects sponsored by five different industry partners. Each sub-project represents an important challenge for its sponsor. These sub-projects include Extracting data from unstructured text of NOTAMs to assess relevance (Boeing 1), Developing a fix effectiveness engine to perform data-driven predictive maintenance (Boeing 2), Initial […]

There is more to Artificial Intelligence than the algorithm. Intelligent systems must also consider how data is acquired, trade-offs between algorithmic approaches, and what action is taken based upon algorithmic decisions. Lunar Medical, Inc. performs research and development in the area of intelligent and operational space medicine. This internship will investigate the full range of […]

Sanofi-Pasteur is developing new vaccine formulations that need to be evaluated on their efficacy and potency. Traditionally, the use of animal models to predict human immunity has been accepted as the best way to select vaccine formulations. However, animal models can be costly and time-prohibitive, and the assays employed to assess vaccine efficacy and potency […]

This project will complete an urgently needed feasibility study linking researchers and graduate students from the University of Guelph with the Lucy Maud Montgomery Museum and Literary Centre (LMMMLC) in Norval. Together, this team of researchers and community partners will define current best practices in museum design to create a plan for the LMMMLC to […]

The availability of safe drinking water has emerged as one of the most serious problems facing the global economy in the twenty-first century. Removing heavy metals from drinking water, industrial waste and soil are important environmental engineering tasks to reduce pollution and water scarcity around the world. Biomimetic designs help engineers to produce new technologies […]

Shale gas plays are becoming progressively more important in the energy market as gas production from these reservoirs is increasing. With the advances in exploitation technology gas production from shale has become more viable and economic. Based on previous studies southwestern Manitoba can be a good candidate for extracting gas from shale formations at shallow […]

The common method of training and warming-up in baseball is by using weighted disks that are added to the player’s baseball bats. The current scientific evidences showed that the use of these devices doesn’t improve the performances of the players and actually slows down their swing speed and batted ball speed. Our partner developed a […]

Soyez au cœur de l’expérience muséale! L’Application ÉducArt en VR invite l’usager à découvrir de manière innovante toute une série d’objets et d’œuvres d’art de collection issus du Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal, et à participer, en collaboration avec le musée, à la construction de cette exposition virtuelle. Cette “réappropriation patrimoniale” et gamification de la […]

Bien qu’un nombre grandissant d’acteurs socio-économiques tentent de sensibiliser les employeurs à l’importance d’offrir des ressources favorisant la conciliation travail-vie personnelle (CTVP), l’état actuel des connaissances sur les mécanismes psychologiques expliquant leur effet sur la CTVP et, plus globalement, sur le bien-être des employés se montre fort limité. Par conséquent, la présente recherche vise à […]

L’entreprise Mobilités Mondiales inc. a fait breveter un concept de système de transport fonctionnant avec la traction hélicoïdale et des rails tubulaires ouverts. Après maintes preuves de concept expérimentales, l’entreprise a mobilisé une équipe d’experts en conception et fabrication mécanique et en automatisation qui sauront parfaire les travaux de R&D amorcés au respect des normes […]

A key factor to deliver reliable intelligent vehicles is the proper exploitation of data gathered from the different sensors equipping the vehicle. To do so, a data fusion algorithm is applied. However, the reliability of the sensors can change (for example due to weather conditions), therefore, a solution to evaluate the quality of the data […]
