Le but du projet est de soutenir l’entreprise Spiderwort dans le développement de biomatériaux végétaux innovants ayant des application en médecine régénérative, en cosmétologie et dans le domaine alimentaire. Les stagiaires collégiaux, universitaires et diplômés vont se succéder dans les étapes de développement, et chaque stagiaire aura des objectifs spécifiques selon son expertise, la ligne […]

Geosynthetics are rolls of man-made products that are used in roads and earthworks. These are often used to improve drainage and work very well in many instances. In some cases such as silt soils or silt-sized mine tailings, geosynthetic drainage doesn’t work well because of the naturally hydrophobic nature of the synthetic fibres. This project […]

This project has two main themes: The first involves measuring the benefit BiCROS hearing aid users gain from their hearing aids in challenging listening environments. Then, a statistically based qualitative process will be followed to investigate user attitudes towards their hearing aids and what contributes to their successful use. This information will be used to […]

Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are promising candidates for storing significant amounts of electricity, since zinc (Zn) is widely available and inexpensive. ZIBs typically use a high-capacity Zn metal anode, metal oxide positive electrode, and aqueous electrolyte, with energy/power densities similar to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). ZIBs offer advantages over LIBs, including improved safety, eco-friendliness and simpler manufacturing […]

The aim of the proposed research cluster is to advance the state of the art of secure operation of power systems by developing new methods and tools. A power system is expected to perform within specified operating boundaries of system voltage and frequency under normal conditions when there are no component outages. Further, it should […]

In this project the focus is placed on development, modelling and prototyping of a novel hydrogen generation system which aims to produce pure hydrogen gas at any capacity. The proposed system will use water as input material and external rotational kinetic energy acting through magnetic force as the internal energy source. At the end of […]

Que ce soit en milieu hospitalier ou dans les centres d’hébergement de personnes âgées en perte d’autonomie, les services alimentaires en chambre sont effectués à l’aide de chariots de distribution qui permettent la remise en température et distribution de repas. Le système de refroidissement de ces chariots est basé sur l’utilisation d’un fluide caloporteur inflammable […]

The overarching aim of this research is to develop fundamental knowledge of hollowcore mass timber (HMT) panels for long floor spans currently not attainable using conventional all-wood flat-plate floor systems due to the slab spans being limited by vibration and human comfort. The feasibility of HMT panels comprised of crosslaminated timber (CLT) for top and […]

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is related to the improper use of insulin in the body and cell resistance to the insulin receiving or loss of cell sensitivity to insulin. Early diagnosis is critical to prevent this disease and postpone or even prevent the serious complications. The blood glucose concentration and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) are the […]

The Canadian Bank Note (CBN) is interested in a laser printing solution to create high resolution colour images in the bulk of ID documents. One approach the CBN will investigate in collaboration with the University of Ottawa is to use plasmonic nanoparticles that will generate colours upon laser irradiation. These nanoparticles will be embedded in […]

The agriculture sector of the Canadian prairies including the province of Saskatchewan is one of the major contributors to the Canadian economy. Farmers are the main driver of this sector, who often face delays in their harrowing process due to unexpected breakage of the harrow tines that they use. In this project, the team will […]

Analyzing companies’ sales data to prepare a report on what’s the best way for the company to be onboarding new customers with insights from the data and trends identified by the analysis. And to map the story of purchases that will inform the business on when/how/where customers buy products and the factors that affect the […]
