NB-BioMatrix Inc. (NBBM) has developed a magnetic chitosan nanoparticle product, Naqua PureTM for industrial heavy metal water remediation. Unlike current heavy metal removal technologies, Naqua PureTM is cheap, environmentally friendly, requires a low energy input, and is highly efficient. However, in order to commercialize this technology it is necessary to (1) develop and implement quality […]

Les tests utilisateurs de nouvelles générations ont recours à des technologies de pointe comme l’occulométrie, l’analyse faciale et de l’activité célébrale et capturent de précieuses informations quant à l’ergonomie et l’usage des interfaces logicielles. Ces pratiques exigent une rigueur et une précision qui obligent les différentes industries à repenser leur méthodologie de développement de produits […]

Aircraft engines require considerable amount of oil to regulate the heat of their dynamic components. In order to fulfill the performance needs of the aircraft industry, temperatures reached in the combustion chamber have to be increased and engines need to be more compact. Therefore, heat generated from combustion reaches with more intensity the bearings of […]

The use of mobile technology is on the rise including access to mental health-related applications and websites. There is a wealth of information available and numerous intervention strategies focused on treatment and support for mental health concerns. However, inpatient psychiatry often discourages patients’ use of electronic technologies and web-accessible mobile phones. The proposed study involves […]

In well logging of the oil and gas industry, gamma-ray density logging is an indispensable method to determine a formation’s lithology and porosity. The most important index for a density logging tool is its precision and vertical resolution. This research proposal under support of MITACS and Rimpac Advanced Technology Development Ltd. aims at developing a […]

Provision of fibre and timber is an essential ecosystem service. The importance of these natural products in reducing our carbon imprint will only increase the pressure on the forest resource in the future. An important element in ensuring sustainable forest management planning is the assumption of the regeneration of an equally productive forest stand on […]

The NSERC Strategic Network for Smart Applications on Virtual Infrastructures is a five-year partnership between Canadian industry, universities, researchers, research and education (R&E) networks, and high performance computing centres to investigate the design of future application platforms that will deliver software applications of greater capability and intelligence. These application platforms will be supported by an […]

L’accès à des zones minéralisées sous les infrastructures existantes d’une mine en opération constitue un défi de taille pour les équipes d’ingénierie minière. Plusieurs facteurs doivent être considérés pour permettre l’extraction de ces zones de façon économique. Le stagiaire de maîtrise développera un modèle, sous forme de chiffrier électronique, qui permettra une évaluation technique et […]

Regular physical activity has well known health benefits. Paradoxically, exercise can increase the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in those with underlying disease. Sports-related SCDs account for approximately 90% of all SCDs. Pre-participation screening can detect underlying disease and decrease sports-related SCD. Optimal screening methods have not been universally agreed and Canadian Masters athletes […]

Veuillez donner, en un paragraphe rédigé dans un vocabulaire simple et compréhensible pour le grand public (public non initié), une description générale du projet de recherche qui sera entrepris par le ou les stagiaires, ainsi que les avantages escomptés pour l’organisme partenaire (100 à 150 mots). Les jeux d’acquisition gratuite se financent grâce aux achats […]

Dans les domaines technologiques, la modification d’un objet, l’amélioration de la fonction d’un outil, la combinaison de deux produits sont des exemples de l’innovation. Mais dans certains cas, le changement est radical et le nouvel objet technique est si différent de ceux qui existaient auparavant qu’on peut parler de l’émergence d’une nouvelle génération de cet […]

The rise in adoption of online services for sensitive tasks such as banking and accessing public services, has led to increased security and data privacy requirements. Many institutions use third-party services for logging in and handling security. So you might enter a single username and password, connecting only once to access a number of different […]
