This collaboration between pharmaceutical company NuvoBio and a Research Team led from the University of Windsor and working with Dalhousie and the University of Western Ontario seeks to develop a new vaccine for lung cancer. The students and postdoctoral fellows will be making new types of molecules and investigating some underlying questions about how we […]

Many reports have indicated that with the current state of Canada’s science and technology, Canada is not globally competitive in business innovation, and the current state of growth is not sustainable. How to drive continuous innovation growth in Canada? This proposal centers on three areas: (1) continuous innovation growth in large incumbents, (2) viable business […]

Continuous blood pressure (BP) monitor is highly beneficial for detection and prevention of stroke and cardiovascular disease. The most common BP monitor technique still relies on using a cuff that slows the blood flow, which is both uncomfortable and makes continuous monitoring impossible. Furthermore, research has shown that due to the numerous artifacts, the existing […]

The purpose of the present study is to scientifically evaluate the physical demand associated with the safe operation of a snowmobile under typical (normal) riding conditions experienced by North American snowmobilers. We will quantify the physical demand of snowmobile riding and compare this to national recommendations for the promotion of health and fitness, as well […]

Cornea disorder diseases, like keratoconus, are characterized by progressive thinning and distortion of the apical cornea that leads to complex optical aberrations due to either irregular astigmatism or corneal scarring. For patients with irregular cornea, corneal contact lenses no longer fit and become intolerable with discomfort. In such cases, scleral and mini-scleral (MS) contact lenses […]

Transportation that uses green energy is environmentally friendly and helps to reduce greenhouse gas emission. But there is a tension between the stakeholders, policy makers and public on their economic return, policy implementation and perception on innovation in technology in transit respectively. Analysis on outreach opportunities to support transit modernization in to green technology will […]

Cold Spray is an established coating additive manufacturing process. Centerline has the opportunity to establish itself in a very large worldwide market if they can improve the ability of their cold spray process to metallize polyamide 6-6 substrates with enhanced deposition efficiency. The overall general objectives are twofold: 1) Analyze experimentally the cold spray process […]

Flexible wearable sensors have found increasing application in many situations, especially in biomedical engineering and health care. Recent research has presented methods for fabricating flexible, stretchable, and conductive sensors using silver nanowires embedded in a flexible silicon elastomer (typically polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)) as dry electrodes for ECG (electrocardiograph). In this project, we will investigate how the […]

White-box cryptography seeks to maintain the secrecy of cryptographic keys used by software, despite an attacker having full control over the software. This project extends the work by Dr. Lin on the Chinese cipher SM4, as well as its application to a further cipher. The goal of this project is: 1) To implement a complete […]

Durham Region recently created a plan to help guide future decisions about adapting to climate change. The plan shows how extreme future weather is expected to be and identifies many ways that the cities and towns in the region and other agencies that deliver services like water and electricity need to be prepared. Some municipalities […]

Flat product manufacturers are under constant pressure to increase productivity, and simultaneously maintain high quality of continuously cast steel slabs because of stringent quality demands imposed by their customers. However, increasing productivity has detrimental effects on slab quality, and defects and rejections have a major impact on the producers bottom-line. Controlling fluid flows in continuous […]

The initiative is best described as two interwoven threads: mapping renewable energy potentials at the landscape scale, and using these maps to engage local stakeholders in a dialogue to identify acceptable locations for particular kinds of RE development. The Project Team will use the Town of Caledon, located in the Region of Peel, and the […]
