CAPSolar développe un module à énergie solaire unique en son genre, conçu spécifiquement pour les véhicules électriques à basse vitesse. Ce système permet de prolonger l’autonomie des véhicules ainsi que la durée de vie de leur batterie de manière à optimiser la gestion des flottes commerciales de ce type de véhicule et réduire leur empreinte […]

Chemotherapy is the most commonly used method for treating different cancer types that involves the delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs, leading to the death of cancer cells. However, the non-uniform distribution of chemotherapeutic drugs within the tumor and systemic toxicity has multiple side effects, and the delivery problem remains unsolved. Drug delivery carriers such as liposomes […]

The selective and direct metallization (electroless plating) of low-cost FFF 3D printed objects will be investigated in this research project. After 3D printing, the workpiece will be directly subjected to the electroless plating process (skipping the etching and catalyzation steps). We show that conventional low-cost conductive composite filaments loaded with metals can be used for […]

Presently, it is significant to reduce CO2 emission and other greenhouse gas emissions. One of the major CO2 emission contributors is transportation sector. To reduce emissions and achieve a zero-emission society, the use of H2 as a fuel in ground, air, and marine transportation, a feedstock in petrochemical industry, and an energy carrier for energy […]

Computer Games are one of the key use cases of graphics cards of AMD. To ensure highest quality and performance, extensive testing of graphics hardware and software is required. However, much of this gameplay testing is manual and requires significant efforts due to varying styles in games and their versions. In this context, an open […]

The proposed research will develop a reliable analytical method for the quantitative analysis of grain grading factors for Canadian Western Red Spring wheat using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Most commercially available near infrared spectrometers used in agricultural applications require significant expertise, a large footprint, a controlled environment, and are prohibitively expensive. The NIRS technology is […]

Sleep is crucial for the formation of novel memories, and it underpins much of our psychological well-being. Unfortunately, millions of Canadians suffer from sleep difficulties, which are especially prevalent among women and populations with low education and income. These difficulties result in poorer cognitive performance and reduced well-being. Finding solutions to these difficulties is often […]

The state-of-the-art polymer electrolyte fuel cells have catalyst layers (CLs) made of Platinum catalyst on carbon support (Pt/C) bound together by proton-conducting polymer or ionomer. To overcome the challenges of high cost of Platinum catalyst ad corrosion of carbon support, alternative materials for catalyst and catalyst support are being considered. The interaction of ionomer with […]

A new load-bearing precast concrete wall panel system has been proposed that uses composite materials instead of steel for reinforcement to reduce the level of heat loss through them and increase their R-Value. The panels will undergo destructive structural testing to determine how well the composite material system compares to a similar wall design that […]

Manganese (Mn) is a contaminant of emerging concern in drinking water as a growing body of epidemiological evidence has identified adverse cognitive, neurodevelopmental and behaviour effects in children. Canada has been a global leader in advancing the regulatory framework for Mn in drinking water, and in 2019, Health Canada published a new drinking water guideline. […]

Aurora Heat is an Indigenous and female-led organization that offers a variety of natural and reusable hand, foot, and body warmers. Since 2015, these wholly biodegradable warmers have captured the heart of customers looking to replace single-use and chemical-based products that are harmful to the environment. With thousands of customers across Canada, it has also […]

AMD manages a very large code base that supports multiple graphics products, operating systems, and customers with multiple releases per year. With a high rate of innovation and corresponding code changes it is a daunting task to ensure a given change works correctly on all applicable configurations for every release. It is therefore imperative to […]
