The Canadian paint and coating industry had long established programs to collect residual paint from the household and recycle it into marketable products. By doing so, the industry protects the environment by recycling a significant amount of resources which used to end up in landfills as waste. However, such programs are currently costly for both […]

Cobalt thin-films have found widespread applications in microelectronics devices; such as liners in copper interconnects, wetting layers, and caps, in addition to applications for magnetic devices and CoSi2 contacts. CVD and ALD techniques are typically used to achieve cobalt films between 2-5 nm thick with excellent conformalities and negligible resistance increase. Leading precursors for cobalt […]

Advanced Chemical Technologies has developed a unique combination of existing processes to create a new method of making methanol. This proposed method actually consumes the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, or CO2, meaning it could help reduce the environmental impact of Ontario’s manufacturing. This internship would involve the simulation of this proposed process using advanced chemical […]

The aim of this project is to research and develop a new DICOM modality for the optical coherence tomography images obtained by Perimeter’s Optical Tissue Imaging (OTISTM) device. Following the creation of a suitable modality, a novel solution for transfer to and integration with the PACS servers utilized by current Perimeter customers will also be […]

Perimeter Medical Imaging (PMI) has developed an investigational imaging device to aid in achieving clear margins during surgical oncology procedures. This project will employ PMI’s device to image multiple types of human tissues, which have been previously removed during elective or medical procedures. This study will correlate the images obtained using PMI’s device with the […]

Wave uprush and the potential for flooding are natural hazards that must be determined by the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) prior to the approval of a near-shore development. The purpose of calculating wave uprush is to recommend building sites that are outside of the wave uprush area (and floodplain in general) to land owners […]

Online communities abound today, arising on social networking sites, on the websites of real-world communities like schools or clubs, on web discussion forums, on the discussion boards of videogames, and even on the comment pages of news sites and blogs. Some of these communities are “healthy” and foster polite discussion between respectful members, but others […]

Low impact development (LID) technologies are increasingly part of the urban landscape for Canadian municipalities. Bioretention planters, also known as rain gardens, are an LID technology that infiltrates and filters runoff at the source. Though design guidance exists, there is little data available on the long term performance of LID technologies, such as bioretention systems. […]

The purpose of this research is to determine if athletes who use the Flexkor device to facilitate PNF stretching before their workouts will result in comparable gains in hamstring flexibility and strength as would be obtained by athletes who use a trained therapist. It is also hoped that this research will further educate athletes and […]

Automated physiotherapy motion tracking system may improve clinical outcomes by providing subjective measures and continuous monitoring. A study into different metrics that PTs may find useful for diagnosis and a user interface study assessing the current usability of the Automated Rehabilitation System, a system being developed by Cardon rehabilitation, will be conducted. A method to […]
