Neurodegenerative diseases represent one of the largest healthcare burdens in Canada. However, there is limited understanding of how the complex biological factors affect the development of neurodegenerative diseases, thus the era of precision medicine has not to come to treat them yet. Here, we take focus on bioenergetic disruption as a shared risk factor of […]

Thales développe le Hospital Optimizer, un outil pour gérer l’utilisation des salles d’opérations en les affectant à différentes équipes médicales.

Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest gynaecological conditions in the developed world, as it is often detected late into progression. Efforts to improve surgical and chemotherapeutic approaches have only made marginal improvements to patient outcomes over the past 30 years, but there remains potential within immunotherapeutic approaches. Understanding the tumor microenvironment, and particularly the […]

Continuous miner (CM) optimal performance depends upon various factors which controls the rock-bit (cutter) interaction, including the type and geometry of the bits (cutters), operational parameters (drum speed, advance rate and etc.) and geological setting of the target rock. According to the conducted investigation on CMs performance at Goderich mine, although, these machines have improved […]

With the advances in the technology and shrinkage of the device sizes, many new challenges have been introduce in the design process of electronic devices. Therefore, the designers are required to spend so much time and effort and go through several cycles of design and test to tackle these challenges. This is even more serious […]

The workplace is evolving at the frontier, people and machines work side by side. In factories and industries, the trend for the past two-hundred years has been to provide mechanical devices to assist in manual labour. The benefit for people is that workplaces are more equitable and accommodating to people with disabilities. The future will […]

This Mitacs project is a demonstration project through which four small residential homes will be printed in the Windsor-Essex region. This project will be the first construction project in Canada where 3D printing technologies will be used to build residential homes. These homes will be built by Habitat for Humanity Windsor-Essex for low-income families and […]

This project aims to develop a tool that would assist EXKA, a company that produces and sells seedlings of cannabis, to plan the propagation of a variety of cannabis types in order to meet the customers’ orders on time. EXKA employs different ways to grow a cannabis plant, therefore the project will coordinate the growth […]

Traditionnellement, la nuisance sonore a toujours été une problématique au coeur de l’aviation moderne avec l’avènement du turboréacteur. De plus, l’apparition de nouvelles technologies comme les drones ou les taxis volants urbains avec des hélices multiples ne fait qu’accentuer la part prépondérante du bruit généré par les machines tournantes dans les moyens de transport aériens. […]

Over the past 10 years, industry has drawn on different principles to support the creation of more inclusive and diverse workplaces. These principles include Equity, Diversity and Inclusion; Gender Based Analysis; decolonization; and safe spaces. In this research project, we will read what experts have written about these topics to find out what is most […]

The purpose of this research project is to explore the feasibility of developing a software as a service (SAAS) to facilitate the process of managing risk in the development of public infrastructure projects.

Canada depends on seasonal snowfalls for much of its freshwater supply, and climate change is expected to have a major impact on the quantity, and quality, of available freshwater. However, the models that scientists use to make future projections of water availability are not perfect, which creates uncertainty in the exact future scenario that will […]
