Luxmux sensors will monitor steam quality and water quality for in-situ Thermally Enhanced Heavy Oil Recovery. In Canada, 2 billions of kilograms of steam are produced per year for heavy oil recovery and this amount is expected to double in the next ten years. Each year, heavy oil producers spend $2.3 billions on natural gas […]

Optimiser la production porcine au Canada est un défi majeur puisque ses acteurs sont en concurrence avec ceux des pays où les coûts de production sont moindres. Il est impératif pour une telle optimisation de repenser ses programmes de sélection, de considérer la nécessité de diversifier son offre et d’améliorer le bien-être animal. En combinant […]

Un des facteurs les plus importants du succès de la fécondation in vitro est la qualité de culture de l’embryon. Un nouveau milieu de culture a été créé en utilisant les propres cellules endométriales de la patiente. Le but est d’évaluer l’efficacité d’un transfert d’embryon au stade de blastocyste après la mise en co-culture avec […]

This Mitacs Accelerate proposal is the second of three-phase project of Adriana’s Goncalves master’s thesis. For this Mitacs-Accelerate renewal proposal, it will be investigated further flotation process targeting recovery of 80-90% considering a previous technical feasibility study conducted on material from a representative sample of ASM tailings from Costa Rica. The tailings belong to a […]

Chocolates have a rich source of dietary phenolic compounds and antioxidants. During chocolate manufacture, the antioxidant capacity and procyanidin content in cocoa can be affected by a variety of processing conditions. Therefore, a rapid and less expensive method to determine chocolate antioxidants is highly demanded in confectionery industry. As a nondestructive tool, Fourier transform infrared […]

Health economic evaluation provides information about the value for money of new healthcare technologies, and is increasingly used to guide the allocation of scarce resources based on maximizing health gain. The molecular diagnostics company, PDI, has developed a technology to improve the identification of patients at high risk for oral cancers for early intervention, and […]

Probiotics are suggested to greatly reduce the risk of mortality and risk of infection in the gut of preterm infants. However, probiotics are rarely given to babies in hospitals in North America. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of probiotics supplementation in improving intestinal heath and preventing gut complications in premature […]

This research is aimed at the development of new modeling and simulation algorithms of interconnected AC and DC supergrids for power flow and transient stability analyses. The efforts will be focused on the following technical areas: • Advanced modeling methods of AC/DC power converters and controls for the integration of renewable energy resources in power […]

Sugarbush Spa is a London-based company that specializes in the removal of unwanted body hair by a method known as sugaring. The method, used for centuries in the Middle East, has several notable advantages over traditional waxing. Commercially available sugaring pastes suffer from inconsistency in production and unsatisfactory performance. At its core, the creation of […]

There is an urgent need for the development of new tools that can provide a relatively highthroughput, objective assessment of brain function in individuals with neurodevelopmental, neurodegenerative or psychiatric disorders. The overarching objective of this research proposal is to use eye movement tasks to identify biomarkers that can be used in the assessment of brain […]

The cellular network nowadays faces an uphill battle against the explosive growth of mobile data traffic. Deploying low power radio base stations covering small cells within the current cellular coverage area is a promising approach to significantly boost the network capacity, provide better coverage, and reduce network congestion. Since it is recognized that backhauling the […]
