The proposed project is to develop a design tool box with the cooperation R&D team in Transtex Composite, research fellow and academic supervisor. The design toolbox help the engineers in design department of Transtex Composite to design the trailer tail structure based on finite element analysis to be developed by research fellow. Therefore, this package […]

Nature’s ability to convert solar energy to chemical energy in photosynthesis has inspired the development of a host of photoredox systems in efforts to mimic this process. The capacity of fluorine atoms to engender a variety of useful properties in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and performance materials has driven significant research efforts toward the invention of novel […]

Végétamix Inc, commercialise des jus de légumes traités par des hautes pressions (HPP) et désire développer une purée d’ail biologique pour l’ajouter à sa gamme de produits. L’ail transformé est très instable et on doit ajouter des agents de conservateur pour palier à plusieurs problèmes comme la diminution de la valeur nutritive et le changement […]

This project is a collaboration between MMSENSE Technologies and the Centre for Intelligent Antenna and Radio Systems (CIARS) at the University of Waterloo to research, investigate, and design an integrated radar module at millimeter-waves. These sensors, which will be utilized in automotive applications such as forward collision alert, rear traffic crossing alert, blind spot detection, […]

Patients who suffer from severe burns require immediate wound closure to ensure survival and facilitate healing. The current gold standard in surgical practice is the use of split-surface autographs, allographs, or skin substitutes, but limitation range from the lack of layered tissue organization, the potential for immunological rejection, and the need for high quantities of […]

This study is among the first studies examining the effects of whole plant herbal cannabis on a variety of outcomes, including mental health conditions, anxiety, mood, and sleep quality. The interns will gain valuable experience in the field of medical cannabis, and will collect important data on the effects of varying strains of cannabis on […]

Microneedles are hollow needle structures made out of metal, polymer, or silicon which can be manufactured at any height up to one millimetre, with arrays from one to hundred microneedles, depending on the required playload for delivery. Microneedles platform technology can be applied in medical, cosmetic, biotechnology, and industrial applications. The partner organization has developed […]

The goal of neurosurgery are two folds, 1) to achieve maximal resection of the target lesions, but simultaneously 2) minimize damage to adjacent healthy brain tissues. Currently surgeons rely on preoperative images such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging to define tumor boundaries. However, the accuracy of such images decreases intraoperatively due to brain shift. For these […]

In this project we aim to study means of development of a new concept of the thermal energy storage (TES) technology which allows for the collection of thermal energy for later use. With the Solar Power System it is necessary to balance energy demand between day and night time. On the one hand, TES can […]

Domestic demand for wood pellets in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia has dramatically increased in recent years. Consumer angst resulted in one retailer trucking three tractor trailer loads of bagged pellets last winter (2014-2015) from British Columbia, which sold out in a few days. Port Hawkesbury Paper LP (PHP) has an opportunity to both solve a […]

Object tracking using stereo video is a field of research applicable to a large number of applications. However, most proposed methods are complex, and require significant computing resources to be implemented. As a result, the number of applications and environments where object tracking systems can be realistically deployed is limited. The proposed research project aims […]

Cette recherche sert à déterminer les facteurs qui affectent la performance d’un réseau d’entreprises. Par exemple, une augmentation de la demande peut causer des retards de livraison si l’entreprise ne prend pas les mesures nécessaires. La méthodologie proposée est de décortiquer le système étudié en trois sous-systèmes pour déterminer ces facteurs. Il s’agit de la […]
