Impact and blast loads are two severe dynamic loads that need to be investigated for any industrial and structural applications. Recently, Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) tubes have been used in different electrical applications as electrical conduit systems, in addition, FRP tubes are used in structural applications in the form of Concrete-Filled FRP tubes (CFFT) members […]

Cost estimation within mold manufacturing is critical for maintaining profitability and competitiveness. This project will look at a data-driven estimating method for accurate cost and labor assessment for quoting of complex molds. We will first analyze the features of molds and manufacturing processes. Next, investigate different methods for cost estimation, such as variant-based (case-based, and […]

La plateforme élévatrice Hydro-Mobile de série M s’adresse au marché de la maçonnerie. L’application requiert le déplacement de charges lourdes à faibles vitesses sur des hauteurs allant jusqu’à 76 m. Afin d’améliorer la sécurité et simplifier l’opération de la plateforme, Hydro-Mobil souhaite développer un nouveau système de levage complètement conforme aux nouvelles normes en vigueur. […]

Canada’s reinforced concrete structures which includes bridges and building are deteriorating rapidly due to rusting of the steel that reinforces the structure. When steel rusts it takes up more space than non-rusting steel. This puts pressure on the surrounding concrete and causes it to break off. The proposed project aims to research a new solution […]

L’extraction d’information est un processus de structuration de I’information pertinente de documents et elle est un element cle des applications gerees par KEATEXT. Elle est constituee de trois etapes : extraction des entites nommees, identification de patrons d’extraction pour detecter leur role et fusion des informations des entites autour d’evEmements. Ce stage est consacre a […]

Treatment of metastatic breast cancer is often unsuccessful and lead to 5000 deaths in Canada each year. Therefore, there is an unmet need for new drugs for prevention and/or treatment of metastatic disease. Ezrin is a protein marker commonly over-expressed in metastatic breast cancer. Preclinical studies show that blocking ezrin can significantly reduce metastasis in […]

Copper has long been proposed to have important biological properties. Designed to deliver the health benefits of copper, CuTEC yarn is a USPTO|EPO patent pending, bio-engineered copper-based yarn that can be produced as products such as clothing and mattress ticking. Although many believe in the positive properties of copper for well-being, many remain retiscent to […]

This research focuses on a product of growing popular interest: “wild foods” like morel mushrooms, wild blueberries and fiddleheads. Why do the people who produce, trade and consume these foods value them? How can this value, whether economic, social or ecological, be increased? Because the attraction of these foods comes from their being “wild,” and […]

This project investigates the use of HTML5 & JavaScript as a means to ensure rich engaging interactions for remote clients that are using low bandwidth connections with high latency and frequent interruptions.

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) represent the next generation in nuclear power reactor technology with the benefits of being non-greenhouse-gas emitting forms of power production and providing inherent safety, lower construction and operating costs and proliferation resistance. As part of the recently announced New Brunswick SMR Research and Development Cluster, Moltex Energy proposes to build their […]

Le projet vise a ameliorer la connaissance des proprh§tes electriques et thermiques des materiaux composites dans Ie contexte de leur utilisation dans Ie milieu aeronautique. Pour ce faire, il est envisage de soumet!re des echantillons de ces materiaux a des courants electriques, pour en evaluer la distribution dans lesdits echantillons. L’echauffement cause par ces courants […]

The Safety Labs platform is an ‘always connected’ Internet of Things (IOT) cloud computing based system that focused on aging in place and well being for older adults through ongoing health knowledge. This project will focus on a trial with a population of older adults in the Ottawa region that will trial the system with […]
