The NSERC Strategic Network for Smart Applications on Virtual Infrastructures is a five-year partnership between Canadian industry, universities, researchers, research and education (R&E) networks, and high performance computing centres to investigate the design of future application platforms that will deliver software applications of greater capability and intelligence. These application platforms will be supported by an […]

The objective of the project is to develop an automated monitoring system to accurately and reliably detect deterioration within gearboxes operating on an industrial forming line. This will involve reviewing, developing and testing one or more methodologies based on vibration signal measurement and analysis. In particular the work will focus on exploring existing potential methods, […]

Municipal sustainability in Canada has been gaining importance in recent years. In order to ensure real progress is made, sustainability assessment must be conducted. Indicators are the recommended measures for sustainability assessment. This research project will create a core set of indicators for use in a sustainable cities index. A set of sustainability best practices […]

The only constant in communications networks is change. Software defined networking (SDN) and elastic optical networking (EON) technologies enable adaptation to change but their implementation is impeded by the rigidity of network infrastructure and specifically the optical transport layer. Analogous to the term ‘bare metal’ used to describe commodity electronics, ‘bare glass’ photonics technology is […]

Why do young Canadians not vote at high levels in elections? Are young Canadians simply apathetic and disengaged, or are they finding new ways to participate in Canadian democracy? What role do the Internet and social media play in youth political engagement? This project responds to these questions, drawing on an innovative research design that […]

This four months internship project is to help Bristol Machine to flexible redesign a mechanical linked bucket for hard rock mining application with less time, money, failure, resource, materials cost and increase product quality, flexibility, productivity, and performance for various worldwide customers’ needs in mining industry. The proposed method will be computer-aid design, engineering, FEA […]

Ultrasound technology is widely used in medical diagnosis area. Its non-invasive, high resolution, no side effects and other features make it popular. The ultrasound sensor is the critical component and its performance decides the signal quality. A good sensor can stand the environment noise and supply high signal noise ratio (SNR) signal to the processors […]

With my research project I wish to contribute to a body knowledge that will assist with Halsall’s current needs and future directions. A review of relevant literature on methods and procedures for designing more economical, fire-resistant buildings would serve Halsall by providing them with a reference works with which their design engineers can use to […]

Web computing, in which the world-wide web is itself employed as a distributed computing platform, is entering a stage of rapid expansion with the advent of Open Web Platform so that programs that once worked only a native environment on desktop, tablets or phones can now work from within a browser itself. There is therefore […]

This project undertakes the design and fabrication of a new headboard for mechanical tarp systems for flatbed trailers. At present, there are a number of problems including on-time supply of headboards, shipping, waste scrap, and health and safety of drivers. With this project a new design will be proposed and then fabricated using the computer […]

The project involves conducting a study to evaluate human performance in executing simple drawing tasks like drawing curves and lines from various directions. The study will help ascertain the accuracy and ergonomic aspects of 3D drawing. We will then use the results of the study to design a 3D sketching system combining augmented reality glasses […]

In recent years, improvements in technology provide the opportunity for investors to use computer algorithms to produce low-cost guidance on possible portfolio investment mixes and strategies. This project is directed at the research and development of one such “Robo- Advisor” algorithm based on forward-looking scenario optimization, in order to determine the efficacy of the strategy. […]
