Microalgae have potential for use in both the food and feed industries. It is already used in a number of different applications, including biofuels, flavour enhancers, colouring agents and emulsification agents, as well as sources of protein, polysaccharides, lipids and vitamins. Microalgae also contains proteins which can serve as precursor of small fragment (3-20 amino […]

Le développement des fonctions qualité (DFQ) est un outil qui guide les équipes de conceptions de produit en tenant compte des besoins de l’usager. Dans le domaine de l’ergonomie, l’utilisation de cet outil est encore très peu documentée. Le projet consiste à documenter l’utilisation du DFQ dans un projet d’amélioration de l’ergonomie d’un produit. Le […]

This research project will investigate retirement planning among academic physicians within the Department of Medicine (DOM) at the University of Toronto. The overall objective of this project is to investigate the range of perspectives held by members of the DOM about retirement and to develop a later career transition assessment tool that will facilitate institutional […]

The proposed project aims at the design and implementation of low complexity digital pre-distortion (DPD) algorithms for concurrent multiband wireless transmitters. The power amplifier (PA) is one of the major sources of power dissipation in wireless base stations. The DPD techniques enable the PA to operate in higher power levels where it has its highest […]

Our industry partner, EHC GLOBAL, is a world leader in the design, manufacture and sale of escalator handrails products including recyclable handrail that features built-in antimicrobial properties and the ability to display custom graphics. They also deal in many other products such as escalator safety brushes, urethane rollers and engineered polymer products and are continuing […]

Cette grappe de projets couvre deux volets distincts. Le premier, vise à caractériser et évaluer l’écosystème formé des organisations du secteur de l’immobilier avec leurs partenaires, dans la grande région métropolitaine. Il s’agit, par un étalonnage, de diagnostiquer régulièrement la compétitivité de ce secteur et fournir les données essentielles aux décideurs gouvernementaux et aux dirigeants […]

Current and near-future D-Wave processors implement optimization using quantum effects on a fixed processor layout. This layout can be modeled as a graph with certain constraints, and the optimization is applied to a specific problem: fixed-topology Ising spin optimization. It is therefore important to study how best to use this hardware to solve combinatorial optimization […]

The proposed project will explore variations in the whole brain after 1 year of treatment that may exist between those who are taking an injectable antipsychotic versus those who are taking an oral antipsychotic in a cohort of first-episode of psychosis. All patients are treated in a naturalistic, early intervention setting at the Douglas Institute […]

MakerBloks is a creative solution to introduce children to the world of electronics. Our first products, MakerBloks, are small, reactive, color-coded building block that allows the user to learn and build electronic circuits without any technical background. In order to bring electronics learning to a new level of interactivity, MakerBloks want to develop a block […]

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems enable network-based monitoring and/or control of processes in various industrial sectors including electrical power distribution, energy, waste water and water. These systems serve as the backbone of much of Canada’s critical infrastructure. Security compromise of SCADA systems allows malicious attackers to gain control of the industrial processes in […]

The goal of this project is to devise a strategy for improving the operations of Canadians for Health Research (CHR) to achieve long-term prosperity. CHR is a non-profit organization (NPO) and its mission is to provide Canadians with a comprehensive understanding of the importance of health research so that they may develop an informed perspective […]

A novel transmitter architecture which presents more power efficiency than that of the transmitters being used currently in mobile communication base stations is proposed in this research project. The result of this research fills the gap between the theoretical idea behind this transmitter structure and its practical usage in cellular network base stations. This transmitter […]
