A microwave Isolator is a two-port device that acts as a unidirectional trap, protecting sensitive components in a system from signal reflection. It is analogous to the diode in a DC circuit or the check valve in a fluid-flow system. Isolators are commonplace in power amplifier, radar, antenna, and transceiver systems, making them essential in […]

Bacterial cultures are sometimes added to groundwater to increase the rate of degradation of contaminants. Three cultures that are able to completely biodegrade their primary compound to non-toxic end products in the absence of oxygen have been enriched from contaminated soils. The goal of this project is to demonstrate the efficacy of these cultures in […]

One purpose of the proposed research project is to contribute to the My Normative (MyN) app development by increasing the number of users on the app and maintaining long-term app usage. The second purpose is to verify the accuracy of the app’s menstrual cycle prediction in female persons of varying cycles less than or greater […]

L’épilepsie peut entraîner des crises violentes et touche entre 0,5 et 1% de la population dont ?30% souffrent d’épilepsie réfractaire aux médicaments et bénéficierait de la neurostimulation. Des recherches démontrent la capacité de prévoir les crises 24 heure à l’avance, donnant la possibilité au patient de prendre des mesures d’atténuation. Ce projet vise à développer […]

The goal of this project is to use information from color cameras, greyscale cameras and LiDARs to detect objects of interest at the farm,as well as estimate the location and orientation of those objects. This research would allow Mojow to develop a 3D object detection system which can be used in their decision making systems. […]

The YWCA aims to evaluate, through partnership with McMaster University, the impact of Good Beginnings, a program providing support for mothers/birthing parents who are vulnerable, precarious, and at-risk for postpartum depression. The program provides service for approximately 70 postpartum people and their babies annually, for a total of 500 people since 2014. During these six […]

Titanium alloys are used to manufacture aerospace components that require high strength at high operating temperatures such fan blades, heat shields and jet engine exhaust cones. Parts that have complex geometries are commonly formed at high temperature (around 900°C) so as to achieve maximum ductility during the forming process. By applying a small oscillating load […]

Les actions philanthropiques visant le développement des communautés locales sont de plus en plus fréquentes. Cette recherche s’intéresse aux effets de ces actions philanthropiques sur les communautés locales en étudiant le processus de revitalisation du vieux Pointe-aux-Trembles. Ce secteur peine à se dynamiser depuis plusieurs années et plusieurs locaux de l’artère commerciale principale sont vacants. […]

SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, is found in the stool of the infected individuals and eventually ended up at the wastewater treatment plants. Since COVID-19 pandemic started, researchers all around the world have been investigating SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater to understand fate of SARS-CoV-2 and predict a potential outbreak by monitoring wastewater for the detection and […]

In the era of big data, software based on artificial intelligence has greatly improved the quality of people’s lives. Although data is not a scarce resource, the data we collected are usually incomplete due to many reasons, i.e. they contain some missing values. Simply deleting these missing data will not only cause great waste, but […]

The proposed project aims to develop and verify new knowledge, technologies and engineering tools aimed at identifying and mitigating geological hazards encountered on deep cave mining projects. The research will integrate laboratory testing, mine data and advanced computer modelling to better understand the underlying influencing factors. The research will see four interns working closely with […]

Additive manufacturing is rapidly employing the Internet of Things and cyber-physical systems to facilitate its reliability and relieve human supervision. However, with 5G network and cloud computing intertwining with the physical machines placed locally, the service is vulnerable to prospective cyberattacks. Various researchers have already stressed the urgent need to ensure the users’ and businesses’ […]
