Hydrogen is a promising vehicle fuel that emits no greenhouse gases at the end use and can be produced from a variety of renewable and low-carbon sources. However, to provide a useful vehicle range it has to be stored at very high pressures, with maximum pressures as much as 800 times atmospheric pressure. Fuel stations […]

Current rates of recycling for many metal species are near-zero. Improved processes are needed for enabling efficient recycling of electronics waste, including batteries. In our work, we will design polymeric membrane materials that will provide a robust platform for separations processes, specifically targeting separating metal ions from each other in aqueous solution. The interns will […]

The goal of the proposed research project is to improve the work productivity for the partner company (Ocean Steel) by identifying bottlenecks accurately in the steel fabrication workstations. This work included evaluating the current applied solutions in order to resolve the same problems encountered with Ocean Steel, which was done by conducting a literature review. […]

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are a programmable technology that enable the implementation of hardware circuits. FPGAs are now being used as computing devices, but lack the capabilities and services provided by the operating systems used in all software-based computing systems. The goal of this project is to develop some fundamental operating system features for […]

The purpose of this study is to identify the opportunities and challenges for offshore wind development in the Strait Area. Onshore wind is an established industry in Nova Scotia. However, there is an increasing interest on the part of large global players in exploring the potential contribution of offshore wind development in the region. The […]

French Heartworm is a very real threat to the health of domesticated and wild dogs in Newfoundland. The purpose of this research project is to validate the sensitivity and specificity of a newly developed fecal test for this parasite. This will be done by collecting fecal and heart/lung samples from deceased dogs and wild canids […]

The sponsor company, Gnest Inc has plenty of experience in the consulting and design of nuclear power plant and specialized specific nuclear power engineering projects. Internship periods for 4 months can help the sponsor company to prepare for new promising fields of nuclear power engineering with specialized plan. The output of internship can help sponsor […]

La transition énergétique vers des systèmes de propulsions électriques s’accélère. Les batteries sont aujourd’hui des sources d’énergie essentielles aux véhicules y compris les drones. Cependant, la densité énergique limitée des packs de batteries combinée à la forte demande mondiale de cette source d’énergie sont des facteurs qui empêchent le prix de réduire rapidement. Afin d’augmenter […]

The grain sector is a key driver of Canada’s economic growth, with more than 20 million tons of wheat exports and over $20 billion in export sales annually. Many activities required for wheat production rely on laborious manual observation, such as post-harvest assessment of wheat kernels and wheat head detection. These manual, subjective tasks can […]

This project will study different residential building retrofit strategies commonly used in Ontario in terms of their environmental performance. In particular, it will try to understand the embodied and operation carbon emissions associated with those strategies. The aim of this project is to understand the effect of using different material and systems in retrofit projects. […]

Psilocybin is a psychedelic compound that alters states of consciousness to allow free imagination and insightful creativity. Its ability to induce complex behavioral and psychological changes has led to its resurgence in psychedelic-enhanced psychotherapy. Despite positive clinical efficacy from a handful of trials, an optimal (or even variable) treatment paradigm has yet to be established. […]

Le watersquare Fleurs-de-Macadam, récemment construit à Montréal dans l’arrondissement du Plateau Mont-Royal, intègre plusieurs infrastructures visant à drainer les eaux pluviales ruisselant sur les rues adjacentes, dont une dépression minéralisée servant de place publique au centre et des zones de biorétention aux abords. Ces dernières sont des ouvrages consistant à utiliser le sol et les […]
