Electric power systems are subject to cyberattacks. In this project, we intend to investigate false data injection attacks (FDIAs) targeting the automatic generation control (AGC) and the economic dispatch (ED) of electric power systems. Such a class of attacks may significantly affect the system frequency stability and result in huge economic loss and even catastrophic […]

Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and other psychedelic drugs have been shown to have therapeutic effects, including for the treatment of depression. However, their hallucinogenic effects may represent an undesirable side effect. Non-hallucinogenic derivatives of these drugs represent a promising alternative; one such alternative is 2-bromo-LSD (BetterLife drug TD-0148A), but data on its effectiveness as an […]

Buildings are vulnerable to moderate and powerful earthquakes. In order to keep their functionality during and after the seismic events, structural control systems are the promising candidates to be embedded in the buildings in which they dissipate the energy towards the building and separates the movements between the soil and the infrastructure. One of the […]

The general objective of this MITACS project is to introduce RespirAct (TM) as a unique device that provides a precise, repeatable vasoactive stimulus to extend the capabilities of imaging modalitites such as PET, CT, MRI and ultrasound. In the first project, the development and standardization of the cerebrovascular stress test will provde a means to […]

Edson designs and manufactures innovative machines used for case packaging of goods, food, pharmaceuticals, and other products into corrugated boxes. Machine steps include automatic feeding of the boxes, folding, adding the product, and closing the box top. Market pressures require client ability to swiftly change over to package a new product. Edson must also be […]

Ananda Devices has developed an innovative technology to produce high-throughput organ-on-chip technology for commercialization in the pharma industry and cosmetic industry. For cost effective and fast commercializing the device, semi automation/automation is required for the high throughput data analysis. Further validation of the automation algorithm is required for data accuracy. So, our aim is to […]

Stainless steel permanent cathodes are widely used in the electrodeposition of copper during its production. Copper is mechanically-stripped from the permanent cathode on a regular basis, after which the cathode is typically visually inspected, water-washed and returned to the production cell. However, offline refurbishment is required to ensure a high quality product (chemical purity, surface […]

Le présent projet de recherche vise à outiller et fournir des pistes de solutions concrètes aux entrepreneurs, et plus particulièrement aux fondateurs et gestionnaires de l’entreprise québécoise MOS (9358-3433 Québec inc.), afin de faciliter l’intégration et l’opérationnalisation de la responsabilité et de la durabilité sociale, environnementale et économique à leurs stratégies d’affaires ainsi qu’à leur […]

To address local food system issues like loss of farmland, people without enough food, or climate change impacts, it is important to see such issues as all related. This project will assess Durham Region food system resources, like local research and policy documents, to find strengths, areas to be addressed, and areas to be studied […]

The objective of this research partnership is to map Artificial Intelligence (AI) to elementary curriculum and Indigenous ways of knowing using Cortic Technology’s software. We hope to build a theoretical framework and instructional approach for AI education for children at an elementary level. A review of current research will set the context for AI and […]

De plus, etant donne que Ie projet s’enligne dans une perspective dedeweloppement durable, Ie stagiaire devra et approfondir ses connaissances […]

Design of modern electric power systems in which renewable energy resources are included is a challenging task. This is because these power systems employ a large number of sophisticated power converters and control methods that need to be accurately tuned. The task of tuning and optimizing these converters and their controls is tedious, repetitive, and […]
