Salmonella (non thyphoidal) is a bacterium that can cause illness in animals and humans. Salmonella can contaminate eggs, it can be transferred from infected hens before the egg is laid, or after due to environmental contamination. Producers can reduce the risk of Salmonella infection in their flocks by cleaning and disinfecting layers houses between flocks. […]

Reptiles are one of the most threatened groups of species in the world and are very vulnerable to threats like human development and climate change. The eastern massasauga rattlesnake is the only remaining venomous snake in Ontario and their numbers and habitat are declining. Given that the populations are isolated and found in different habitats […]

The overall goal of this research project is to get a better understanding of what leads to footwear slipping, so as to contribute to the reduction of slip injuries, in three ways: a) by investigating how intrinsic sole design parameters (compound material properties and sole tread shape, width or depth) affect the available coefficient of […]

Ce projet vise à explorer l’impact émotionnel que peuvent avoir des jeux vidéo offrant une expérience immersive sur des joueurs de tout âge, afin de leur faire prendre conscience de l’urgence de la crise environnementale. En effet, l’utilisation de la réalité virtuelle favoriserait cette réflexion qui permettrait aux participants de revoir leurs comportements et agir […]

The integration of large-scale renewable energy sources in power grid is challenging and requires new power transmission infrastructure such as high voltage Direct Current (DC) transmission and interconnected AC-DC grids. Real-time power system digital simulators are essential for the development of new AC-DC grid technologies. The aim of this MITACS project is to develop numerically […]

As industry undergoes revolutionary changes with the integration of advanced controls, intelligent sensors and the machine to machine connectivity the limitations and expectations of autonomous systems are quickly rising. Well the autonomy of manufacturing robots is proving to be a key growth factor for efficient manufacturing, a new frontier is presenting itself. The next challenge […]

Small modular reactors have been identified by the Canadian government as a “source of safe, clean, affordable energy […] for Canada and Canadians”. Several of these reactor concepts rely on molten salt heat exchange loops, rather than traditional water-based heat exchangers. A key issue is that molten-salt driven corrosion is much less understood. This is […]

The project focuses on using novel method to maximize oil recovery. It is carried out through both experiment study in core scale and simulation research in field scale. The new knowledge that will be accrued will be the culmination of a truly collaborative approach. First and foremost, Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador will gain immensely […]

Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) are attractive eco-friendly and renewable materials for replacing the petroleum-based synthetic fibers in high-performance composites applications. Performance Biofilaments has developed a proprietary processing technology for producing CNFs from sustainably harvested Canadian wood fiber, using mechanical means without the need for additional chemical or enzymatic pre-treatment. The process thus allows for large volume […]

5G and beyond mobile networks are expected to support a variety of emerging use-cases, such as holographic telepresence, immersive extended-reality, cloud gaming, and autonomous driving. Such a diverse set of services imposes strict requirements on the mobile network along several dimensions, such as throughput, latency, and reliability. Network slicing has been envisaged as a key […]

This project seeks to advance the discovery of future cancer therapies by comparing healthy cells with abnormal cancer cells. By examining how proteins, the key functional components of cells, change between normal and diseased states, the intern(s) will help identify novel targets that may point to new therapeutic opportunities. The work uses established, quantitative proteomic […]
