Air Phaser is a proprietary product produced by Air Phaser Environmental and designed to oxidize and/or reduce air-borne pollutants that need to be transformed to environmentally benign forms. The Air Phaser uses electrical discharges to destroy and break down the VOC’s present in the contaminated air. Although, the technology is effective for many VOC’s, some […]

The proposed project, performed with the company Immune Biosolutions, aims to develop superior antibodies for biological targets of interest for the treatment of colorectal cancer. Specifically, these targets are a class of proteins expressed on cell surface, which are notoriously difficult for the development of antibodies. The method involves making molecules look like the biological […]

Ce projet de recherche porte sur le développement d’un ingrédient cosméceutique préparé à partir d’un extrait de feuilles de brasénie, une plante aquatique répandue au Canada. Le premier objectif du projet est de procéder à une analyse plus approfondie de la composition chimique de l’ingrédient en déterminant la teneur en tanins hydrolysables et en identifiant […]

The intern will undertake research and development activities related to a novel functional electrical stimulation (FES) device called the MyndMove stimulator. Activities are intended to improve the electrical output of the MyndMove to deliver controlled and painless electrical stimulation to patients for a variety of applications, such as mobility, pain management and treatment of pressure […]

Les alternateurs jouent un rôle très important dans la stabilité et la performance des réseaux électriques. Lors de la mise en service d’un alternateur, plusieurs essais doivent être effectués afin de valider la fiabilité du produit. Le transporteur d’énergie requiert que les paramètres électriques de l’alternateur soient mesurés. La procédure actuelle d’identification de paramètre consistant […]

Based on the number of adsorbent materials that will be provided by Xebec Adsorption Inc., a fast prescreening on the adsorbents will be carried out using the UNB’s lab’s facilities and our adsorption group expertise. After the prescreening stage, that will help us identify proper material candidates for a process of interest, a full scale […]

Much of the management theory taught in today’s classrooms is focused on consumer-based, growth businesses rather than natural resource-based, cyclical industries. This study will examine how natural resource industries, such as forestry, recognize and adapt to structural (permanent) challenges in their market environment. The research will have three main components: first, using publically available information […]

As distributed sensors for the Internet of Things and portable electronics continue to gain in importance, advanced materials and processing technologies for create the next generation semiconductor devices gain in importance. This Mitacs aims to develop materials and processes to allow new functions in these devices, such as energy harvesting to power wireless devices and […]

The noise caused by the intense interaction between men and machines, becomes a serious hazard to human health. The noise generated aerodynamically by airfoil shaped parts, is one of the most challenging noise production mechanism, present in office and kitchen appliances, wind-energy, automotive and aeronautical sector applications. Several authors, including the project applicant and its […]

Using surface characterization techniques, the relationship between the surface hydrophilicity level of the positive electrode and the electrochemical performance of a rechargeable aqueous battery system will be investigated. Oxygen is generated during the battery operation due to the decomposing of water, the solvent for the electrolyte, and may cover the surface of the positive electrode, […]

Our ever-increasing needs for material and energy to sustain our modern lifestyle put an increasingly difficult-to-bear stresses on the extraction, harvesting, transformation and utilization of natural resources and their disposal (or waste), which ultimately lead to environmental, economical, political and societal consequences. Researchers from PyroGenesis Canada Inc. and the Plasma Processing Laboratory of McGill University […]

The performance of an electric vehicle traction drive, comprised of an electronic power converter feeding power to an electric motor, is defined by its control stages and different system parameters- such as switching frequency of the semiconductor devices of the converter. The proposed internship aims to determine changes in conventional control strategies and selection of […]
