As Canada looks to transition to a clean energy system, reducing diesel use in remote communities presents a significant challenge. Despite financial assistance from the federal government, the business case for clean energy projects in remote communities continues to be less than ideal. Without government support for capital costs, renewable energy projects at present are […]

The purpose of this project is to understand what person-centered planning and care means to people labelled with intellectual disabilities experiencing care in the developmental services sector. If we are able to question labels of intellectual disability, celebrate body-mind difference; desire disability, neurodivergence, and disabled/neurodiverse futures, how will the western industrial complex of care exist […]

Balloons have potential benefits over stents for localised drug delivery. The activities in this proposal will aid the development of a dual balloon catheter system. By the end of the internship, the balloon catheter design will be completed and frozen in anticipation of pre-clinical studies. The gold standard for diagnosis of interstitial lung disease is […]

Cloud, which is no longer a future trend, has led to a paradigm shift in the design of security services. With so many dynamic features offered by cloud service providers, the assessment of potential threats, cloud vulnerabilities and software security concerns can help in securing cloud customers from inside and outside threat. In this research, […]

Semi-active suspension systems (SASSs) are becoming more prevalent in passenger vehicles on the road. These systems have been demonstrated to improve ride and handling performance of passenger vehicles. This project will provide a means to subjectively evaluate the performance of SASSs using a dynamic driving simulator. A controller model of a SASS will be created […]

White light emission from blue-emitting Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) is now replacing virtually all other types of lighting and display lighting in commercial and residential sectors. Currently, such LEDs are made using gallium indium nitride, gallium indium aluminum phosphide and gallium arsenide compounds that are expensive to produce. Instead we are seeking to use very […]

The present dissertation has the main aims of describing the Spanish prosody of bilingual speakers of Portuguese living in the Uruguayan-Brazilian border and observing how it varies across three different generations of bilinguals through an apparent-time analysis. In particular, I will explore whether this variation could be attributed to the influence of Montevideo Spanish (MS), […]

1 in 5 people suffer from a mental illness, such as depression, Alzheimer’s & Parkinon’s during their lifetime. Currently, there are no treatments for these diseases, because the underlying causes of these diseases is not known. Neurescence has developed a technology that is essential for understanding how local and long range neuronal circuits form to […]

The mining industry is a key economic driver for Northern Ontario, and mine and associated support and processing facility closures result, therefore, in significant impacts on the local community direct and indirect employment and economy. Despite each mining operation representing a significant investment in preparation, transport, infrastructure and technology, much, if not all, is lost […]

Researchers at Ontario Tech University are collaborating with McClymont and Rak geotechnical engineers to develop a new sustainable thermal storage technology that addresses the main challenges that have prevented geothermal heating and cooling systems from being adopted in a meaningful way in Ontario. An innovative storage medium, based on a construction slurry, will be developed […]

In the technology sector, there are so many different computing systems that they need a way to communicate with each other. When different technologies can share information and work together to solve tasks, the benefits of computing are amplified. For example, smart home devices are much more convenient when they all communicate with one platform […]

The internship project involves performance improvement in current cellular networks through wireless backhaul interference mitigation. In particular, the problem of RBM to hub assignment and resource allocation amongst the hubs are tackled in the uplink transmission of wireless backhaul networks. The intern is expected to investigate current developed algorithm at BLiNQ Wireless Inc. as well […]
