Phytoremediation (plant-based environmental cleanup) is a green, cost-effective alternative to conventional methods for contaminated site cleanup, which often involve extensive, community-disruptive, industrial efforts. Deep-rooted trees, such as hybrid Canadian poplars, can effectively be used to contain and clean up petroleum-derived contaminants in soil and groundwater resources. The proposed research project is aimed at verifying the […]

This project is composed of three sub-projects, all sharing the goal of improving cancer care operations. The first project aims to improve the scheduling of ambulatory clinics at Princess Margaret Hospital and Women’s College Hospital. Better scheduling will result in less overtime, improved utilization of shared resources, and increased patient satisfaction. The second project is […]

Boiler wall tubes are important components in boilers for safe and efficient operation. After service exposure, boiler wall tubes often require replacement or repair, in which new sections of boiler tubes are welded onto the old boiler walls. Following the repair welding, the code requires the boiler be hydrostatic tested before putting the boiler back […]
