The increasing global demand for mineral resources and the depletion of significant of high grade near-surface deposits is driving mining companies to consider cave mining as the ideal method to exploit large low-grade deposits at depth. A key characteristics of cave mining is the formation of a significant surface subsidence crater, which may impact nearby […]

The project will involve a partnership between the Western University, where the intern is enrolled in the Chemistry PhD program, and the Surface Science Western (SSW). The SSW is a commercial organization which does contract research and problem-solving for industrial companies and is contracted to the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) to support the development […]

The development of new strategies to improve drug delivery has the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes. Ripple Therapeutics has developed a new approach to developing implants based on a discovery that prodrugs (an inactive version of a drug) can be processed into an implant without the use of a polymer to hold the implant […]

Recent progress in the development of computer algorithms for detecting pathological changes in fetal heart rate (FHR) variability (fHRV) and electroencephalogram (EEG) points to a potentially groundbreaking technology for detecting fetal acidemia and inflammation during labour. Using FHR and EEG as a diagnostic tool is an attractive option because they can be acquired noninvasively. Despite […]

Recent improvements in Cloud Accounting software have reduced the demand for data entry and challenging analysis. However, industry has not totally adopted these new resources and many still use traditional accounting and bookkeeping methods, which require a lot of manual efforts. Paperless system has seen improved accuracy and speed of delivery. With the advance of […]

Mavi Innovations is pursuing a prototype demonstration of its 20kW hydrokinetic turbine for generating electricity from river and tidal currents in Fall 2013. Demonstration of this new system includes the development of a control system to govern turbine operation, and of the power electronics to manage generated power and provide electricity to the grid. The […]

The use of aluminum alloys in automotive applications is increasing since the weight of the vehicle can be decreased. This is beneficial for both internal combustion and battery powered vehicles, to increase fuel economy and increase vehicle range, respectively. However, in general, aluminum alloys are more difficult to form and their performance during a vehicle […]

Currently, the service provided by GRAD4 allows buyers to upload their designs for quotes from the suppliers. However, there is no initial manufacturability check for buyers to evaluate their parts before submitting their quotes. Buyers may get feedback from the suppliers, which indicates that their parts are not able to be manufacturable after a several-days […]

La cueillette de champignons ectomycorhiziens comestibles gagne beaucoup en popularité dans le Bas-St-Laurent. Il est nécessaire d’acquérir des données fiables sur les besoins des champignons, afin de développer un nouveau modèle de foresterie intégrant cette ressource. Ce projet vise à identifier les espèces végétales qui s’associent à l’appareil végétatif de certains champignons comestibles via des […]

Multiplayer video game refers to games in which more than a single person can play at the same time, either by collaboration or competition. The number of available multiplayer games is tremendous and is still growing. They can range from 2 players to few thousands (e.g., massively multiplayer online role-playing game). In order to ensure […]

This project aims to develop a new technology for the production of biodegradable plastics that can decompose under various natural conditions, including soil and oceans, by up to 90%, which minimizes plastic waste and its environmental footprint. The technology will first target application in food packaging and drink containers, which is a main market for […]

CAP Immobilier, over the years, has greatly extended the number of characteristics entering into the real estate valuation formula, and has digitized all this data within their database. With the help of JACOBB and this internship, CAP Immobilier expects to be able to quantify the contributory element component value a property accurately and having never […]
