L’acide succinique est l’une des 12 substances les plus importantes en chimie inudstrielle. Il sert, entre autres, à la fabrication de polymères tels le PBS (polybutylsuccinate). Présentement, 99% et plus de cet acide est fabriqué à partir de carbone non renouvelable (pétrole et/ou gaz naturel). Plusieurs compagnies et groupes de recherche travaillent activement au développement […]

The motivation for this research comes from an overall need to improve the performance of high voltage module (HVM) and to reduce the size and its material costs while maintaining its efficient performance, with no partial discharge, arc or thermal issues. In particular, stable transient and steady state performances must be achieved for medical X-generators […]

L’objectif du projet est d’ameliorer I’alignement strategique des technologies de I’information (TI) au sein des organisations. Le projet se divise en trois objectifs principaux. Tout d’abord, Les problemes rencontres par les entreprises dans la conduite de projet d’alignement strategique seront recenses et documentes. Ensuite, en faisant usage d’un tableau de bord equilibre et en se […]

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 […]
