Qubits are fundamental units for quantum computation. Photonics is a promising physical medium to realize large-scale quantum computation. One proposal to realize photonic qubits was proposed by Gottesman, Kitaev and Preskill (GKP). Here, the logical qubit is encoded into states of a bosonic mode or a quantum harmonic oscillator. It is expected that such a […]

This collaboration between the Tai Lab at BC Cancer Agency and the biotechnology company STEMCELL will validate a 3D culturing system that supports the growth of normal and malignant pancreatic stem cells. Specifically, we hope to optimize the culturing condition for the growth media to ensure efficient and reproducible outcomes for pancreatic stem cells growing […]

In this research, a new approach to efficiently simulate large RLC represent power systems will be introduced and implemented in RTDS. The new approach utilize principle component analysis to search the subspace of state space vectors corresponding to a customer designed frequency band excitations and using projection method to form the reduced order system. Unlike […]

The goal of this Mitacs research proposal is to develop and apply experimental methodology capable of distinguishing the influence of calcium supplement dosage form upon elemental calcium uptake, plasma concentration and spatial distribution in the bone of laboratory rats. In order to achieve those endpoints, we plan to utilize the compound strontium ranelate, which serves […]

L’industrie du sciage génère des volumes importants de copeaux dont la majeure partie est utilisée par l’industrie des pâtes et papiers, un secteur qui vit une décroissance structurale en raison de l’essor des technologies numériques. C’est dans ce contexte que le SEREX, FP Innovations et l’UQAR collaborent avec le milieu industriel pour identifier de nouvelles […]

Dans un contexte où la protection de l’environnement et l’économie des ressources deviennent de plus en plus importantes, Soléno en partenariat avec l’ETS de Montréal développe une voie de recyclage innovante pour les déchet plastiques non recyclables par les méthodes conventionnelles. Ce projet est un travail préparatoire à l’industrialisation de cette méthode et permettra de […]

In the world of music, the warm, lo-fi response of vintage, analog electronic equipment is generally considered to deliver better sound than modern equipment. This is aptly demonstrated by guitar players who prefer vintage effect pedals, and music enthusiasts that prefer to enjoy music on vinyl records – despite the rising cost, difficult maintenance, and […]

The Marquardt Group at the University of Windsor intends to better understand the stability and degradation of Catalent’s vitamin A soft gel supplement, including the effect of various antioxidants on the degradation. Catalent is one of the largest suppliers of Vitamin A palmitate capsules to Nutrition International (previously Micronutrient Initiative), which is an organization aimed […]

The research project will develop processes for the fabrication of latex rubber films containing cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as reinforcement to enhance the physical properties of the films. Similarly, improving the compatibility between the latex rubber and the CNCs will be investigated which is expected to significantly improve the physical properties of the films, resulting in […]

Supercapacitors are electrochemical energy storage devices that promise fast charge-discharge rate, high power density, and long cycle life. However, low energy density and high cost of supercapacitors are yet to be addressed to catch up with the established market of batteries. This research project will design low-cost and high-energy electrodes for high-performance supercapacitors. To this […]

AA6111 aluminum alloys possess a combination of excellent strength, good formability and good corrosion resistance that are widely use in the car panel manufacture. Direct chill (DC) casting process is typically employed for producing such alloy ingots. Despite its advantages, AA6111 alloys are considered as “hard-to-cast” alloy among 6xxx alloys because of high susceptibility to […]

The field of plastic waste management is essential for sustainable society that utilizes plastic waste for energy production. Land filing and incineration of plastic waste has large environmental impacts due to GHG emissions. Thus, pyrolysis is considered a low environmental impact process with high value end products. RF thermal plasma technology will help reduce operating […]
