Vehicle reliability and safety are critical especially with the growth of Advanced Driver Assistant Systems (ADAS) and automated driving. Vehicle active safety systems have advanced significantly since they were introduced in about 40 years ago. They have played an important role in making vehicles safer and reducing vehicle fatalities. Current vehicle motion control requires a […]

The utilization of meat by-products (e.g., heart, liver, kidney, intestines, and tongue) is necessary due to their adverse effects on environment. Livestock by-products represent about 52% of the cattle live weight. Since greater amounts of animals live weight is rendered unfavorable for regular consumption, it becomes important to develop technologies for the effective utilization of […]

The Government of Canada is committed to addressing drinking-water-related health and safety needs. However, the vast territory of Canada and the disparate locations of communities makes it a huge challenge to set up water treatment infrastructure and provide necessary training and maintenance. This project aims to develop selfpowered portable devices for simultaneous water disinfection and […]

While newer, advanced Filament Fused Deposition Modeling (FFDM) 3D printing systems for additive manufacturing of plastics products have been designed in order to increase rate productions similar to conventional plastic transformation processes. Up to the date hybrid configurations that can achieve for printing selectively high deposition rates without compromising part quality hasn’t yet been fully […]

Customers usually get confused buying an item online. Therefore, they consult with their friends, use their past experience, and survey reviews from other customers. Some of the main findings from a survey conducted by eMarketer, in which each participant could choose multiple answers are as follows: a friend’s recommendation (76%), previous experiences you had with […]

The research project proposed will be used to improve the financial feasibility of an urban agricultural greenhouse. The first objective of this project is to create a business model that will supplement revenue to a greenhouse by offering mental health services. The second objective of this project is to test and assess the performance of […]

This research attempts to find the best 3D printing technology and 3D printing material (filament) that matches with a local urban community’s demand for customized interior design solutions, including furniture, tailored walls, personalized partitions, lamps and decorative elements. By investigating proper hardware and technology for public use, this research will foster the culture of creativity […]

Tooth wear is an irreversible loss of the enamel, which over time, leads to the exposure of the dentine and this makes the tooth very sensitive to hot or cold foods. The choice of food of the person suffering from severe tooth becomes very limited and this sometimes threatens the survival of the individual. Our […]

Bearings are typically located in the heart of all rotating applications, with rotational speeds, forces, and vibrations impacting them somehow. Due to various reasons, such as fatigue, bearings encounter abrupt operation failure that damages surrounding components. In some applications, such as wind turbines and high-speed trains, it is expensive to replace the bearing and other […]

COVID-19 and Influenza virus disease (the flu) are both deadly respiratory diseases. Despite the availability of flu and COVID-19 vaccines, these diseases still pose a serious threat to human health, because different types of their strains are in circulation. In addition to the need of urgent production of both COVID-19 and influenza universal vaccine, development […]

One of the goals of environmental management and sustainable development is to secure adequate water quality in rivers and lakes. Many researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders have been trying to contribute to this goal effectively. Gathering water quality data is vital to understand changes in rivers and lakes better. Two major approaches for water quality monitoring […]

Currently, drug delivery systems used in clinical applications are limited to liposome and polymer-based systems. Although these methods have been shown to be sufficient for most applications, they have limited targeting of specific areas in the body and have a low effectiveness for efficient drug administration. To compensate, higher and multiple dosages are required, drastically […]
