Understanding the stability profile of a product, whether a consumer packaged good or a pharmaceutical drug product, is key to ensuring the consumer has a safe and effective product. In the pharmaceutical realm, the internationally accepted approach to stability testing is codified within the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Guidance: Q1A(R2) (Stability Testing of New […]

Energy-efficiency upgrades of existing buildings offer substantial energy and greenhouse gas emission reductions. Infrared thermography (IRT) of the building envelope is a non-destructive test that can be used to target retrofit actions and motivate energy efficiency improvements. Recent advances in IRT technology include using drones to collect thermal imaging data from the buildings efficiently, thoroughly, […]

Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductors are more and more being used in switching power devices and the GaN transistors are the promising candidate of next-generation power devices that can substitute Silicon (Si) devices. However, this young technology suffers from reliability difficulties. The aim of this research work is to contribute to the understanding of the properties […]

This project seeks to understand the impact of translocation on freshwater mussel communities due to river infrastructure works in the Grand River, Ontario, Canada. We will determine the recovery of mussel communities post-translocation, and place them into context with similar translocations from across the region. The work will involve new empirical data on mussel recovery […]

In beer manufacturing, the liquefaction and saccharification process utilizes heat, alkaline and acid washes to break down complex sugars into wort (simple sugars) leading to destruction of desirable bioactive compounds. Beer manufacturers are keen to use green technology and non-starch plant materials from agri-food by-products. Province Brands has developed its proprietary methods for brewing from […]

Deep Roots Food Hub is a pioneer non-profit organization comprising of a passionate team of local farmers, market gardeners, health professionals, businesspeople, and residents that aims to create a secure, sustainable food system. Food security is important now more than ever due to the impacts Covid 19 had on supply chains, putting Canadians at risk. […]

This research project will focus on identifying challenges that women entrepreneurs in Cambodia face when starting and/or growing businesses. The purpose of the research is to help organizations identify areas where they can improve their services offered to empower women to start and grow their businesses. This research will be done by collecting participant feedback […]

With increasingly urban populations worldwide and a growing need to ensure ecosystem service provision, managers must plan not only for the urban woodlands we have today, but also for what they might become. This project will develop indicators to detect changes urban woodland succession and its repercussions on future biodiversity. Using existing environmental monitoring data […]

The proposed project aims to assess the impact of Diclofenac on freshwater fauna. Current research work in this area will be beneficial to characterize potential risks from long term low-level exposure to pharmaceuticals like Diclofenac, particularly for sensitive aquatic organisms and hence, this project will attempt to evolve various measures for sustaining and safeguarding the […]

Our space-based radio-frequency communication is suffering from the use of simple phase shifters. Its bandwidth capability is limited, ultimately reducing the satellite’s capacity and the system’s service availability. Most electronic beamforming implementations are bulky, frequency dependent and they consume a significant amount of power. To replace those electronic components, structures which guide light on microchips […]

The project to be conducted is to help improve Hawkins and Co’s internal systems by creating a streamlined process for retrieving data allowing communication and accuracy to be more effective and efficient. Currently, the company can find it difficult to gather data effectively, especially having to work from home due to COVID. This project will […]
