Over the air (OTA) test is the standard procedure for wireless devices to verify the transceiver and antennas performance together in specified conditions. Any wireless device such as tablets, phones and laptop must go under OTA testing. Furthermore, regulatory organizations require OTA testing before the wireless device being certified. Due to the time-consuming procedure of […]

More than 30% of the energy used in Canada is directed to control the indoor comfort conditions and to provide an adequate supply of conditioned ventilation air for buildings. For commercial buildings, 20 to 50% of the energy used may be used to condition outdoor ventilation supply air to maintain comfort conditions. Using commercially available […]

Early detection of pathogen biomarkers such as E. coli is important for management of water bodies and agricultural farms. This information is invaluable to municipalities, provincial governments and private enterprises. Such information could have probably prevented the worst-ever outbreak of E. coli contamination in Bruce County, Ont. in 2010 where 2,300 people fell ill and […]

In this internship, UNS-Tech will partner with Profs. Cynthia Goh and David McMillen to use UNS-Tech’s electronic detection technology to detect molecules, including proteins, polymer nanoparticles and DNA, that are of interest in their research. UNS-Tech’s state-of-the-art electronics-based detectors for HPLC and gel electrophoresis will be employed in Prof. Goh’s and Prof. McMillen’s labs, respectively. […]

There are gaps in our knowledge concerning calf nutrition when producers feed high amounts of milk to calves along with starter feeds differing in nutrient composition. Mainly, how these calf diets alter lower gut development and health during the pre- and post-weaning periods. This research will utilize pre-weaning calves to assess the effects of diets […]

A diversity of native bee species inhabit agricultural and urban landscapes and can be more effective pollinators than the widely employed European honey bee. However, honey and wild bee communities often overlap, which means these bees compete for the same floral resources. Studies of competition between wild and managed pollinators are limited due to methodological […]

In the last years imaging using miniature microscopes (mini-microscopes also called mini-endoscopes) has become a method of choice for the understanding of activity at the cellular and network levels in different brain regions, in freely behaving animals. However, mini-microscopes are connected with wires to other devices, which largely alleviate the use of these imaging systems […]

Le stagiaire devra ultiliser ses connaissances acquises dans le domaine des composites pour resoudre une problematique de l’entreprise FRE Composites (2005) inc. Celle-ci porte sur le pliage de leurs conduits de composites. La problematique et que lors pliage, il y a parfois creation de rupture du materiau et/ou de flambage local, et que le conduit […]

Plants including Cannabis host distinct beneficial microbial communities on and inside their tissues designated the plant microbiota from the moment that they are planted into the soil as seed. Understanding the microbial partnerships with Cannabis has the potential to affect agricultural practices by improving plant fitness and production yield of Cannabinoids. Much less is known […]

Most of the medicines available today are either purified from plants or derived from compounds produced by plants. The Cannabis (marijuana) plant in particular produces an enormous variety of molecules that have valuable pharmaceutical potential – in addition to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the primary psychoactive molecule in the pant, the cannabis plant produces dozens […]
