The present project conducts a comprehensive thermodynamic analysis of the compressed air vehicle for its performance assessment and comparison with other types of vehicles, undertakes a life cycle assessment to study material, energy and environmental impact related aspects, investigates the physical limits of the compressed air technology, and develops a feasible conceptual design of […]

  The purpose of this project is to mathematically model the process of electrochemical wastewater treatment in an effort to expedite the formulation of design parameters and increase the viability of such a treatment system. An electrochemical cell is a specific example of a physical system with multiple interfaces. These interfaces are characteristic of systems […]

  The purpose of the survey of the Upper Lynde Creek Watershed for redside dace habitat addresses the ability of current habitat measurements to accurately predict redside dace locations.  The survey will be completed in three phases.  The first phase identifies potential redside dace habitat by using GIS technology.  In addition, landowners are contacted to […]

Television ratings in Canada are collected by BBM Canada, a not-for-profit organization that serves all the major television networks in Canada. Monthly surveys of 30,000 households collect a range of data on demographic variables and television viewing habits. The proposed research is to investigate models that take into account market swings between various modes of […]

  This proposed project is a multidisciplinary study of the evolution of gold mineralization near the Musselwhite mine in the North Caribou terrane, northern Ontario. The objectives of this project are to: (i) To establish the geometry and spatial pattern of the structures that host the mineralization of ore, and further develop process-oriented exploration strategies. […]

    An embedded software system is a software system that is part of a larger system composed of software and hardware elements and that often have to react in real-time to its environment. The cruise control in a car, or the auto-pilot in an aircraft are typical examples of embedded software systems. Embedded software systems are pervasive […]

  This unique approach to product and process design involves 2 intimately associated activities: development of novel structured composite materials (SCM) in the form of latexes; and the related design of a coagulator to tailor the final particle size distribution of the composite latex particles. If produced correctly, SCM can provide society with useful, valuable […]

  To mitigate failures of large assets, companies sometimes practice condition-based maintenance. This involves inspecting a machine, gathering information on its health, and deciding whether it is more cost effective to perform some preventative maintenance on it, or to leave it alone until the next inspection. Condition-based maintenance is centered around the inspections that are […]

  Allerta is a brand new consumer electronics design firm, focused solely on creating cutting edge mobile accessories that mesh seamlessly with Smartphone’s and a mobile lifestyle. Allerta is currently working on the second generation of its flagship product, inPulse – a wristwatch that connects wirelessly to a Smartphone allowing the user to view important […]

  The increasing demands for ultra-high quality rolled metal strips (e.g. bright-annealed stainless steel) have posed great challenge for online flatness measurement systems. Online flatness measurement is very complex due to the high tension of the rolled strip and the measurement accuracy required. It becomes more difficult with increasing rolling speed and decreasing strip thickness. […]

  The National Arts Centre (NAC) is Canada’s premiere public institution for the promotion of the performing arts. For over forty years, the NAC has showcased the finest performers and production professionals from around the world. Many of these productions required the design and construction of elaborate stage sets that were built specifically for the […]

  While the digitalization of medical information is central goal of governments, such initiatives are often cumbersome and at times inefficient. By understanding the regulatory environment and potential markets, there may be adequate incentive for private companies to offer solutions that would facilitate the creation and distribution of specific medical information. By conducting and environmental […]
