Balloons have potential benefits over stents for localised drug delivery. The activities in this proposal will aid the development of a dual balloon catheter system. By the end of the internship, the balloon catheter design will be completed and frozen in anticipation of pre-clinical studies. The gold standard for diagnosis of interstitial lung disease is […]

Cloud, which is no longer a future trend, has led to a paradigm shift in the design of security services. With so many dynamic features offered by cloud service providers, the assessment of potential threats, cloud vulnerabilities and software security concerns can help in securing cloud customers from inside and outside threat. In this research, […]

White light emission from blue-emitting Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) is now replacing virtually all other types of lighting and display lighting in commercial and residential sectors. Currently, such LEDs are made using gallium indium nitride, gallium indium aluminum phosphide and gallium arsenide compounds that are expensive to produce. Instead we are seeking to use very […]

Cerebral aneurysm (CA) is an abnormal dilation of the cerebral arterial wall and accounts for more than half a million deaths worldwide annually. Flow diverters (FDs) are commonly used to treat CAs but have deficiencies in certain anatomies. In partnership with Evasc Medical System Inc., whose area of expertise is developing treatments for CA, we […]

In the last decade optimization is expanded in many applications from food production to sophisticated applications such as engine fuel efficiency. In the proposed package, it is tried to apply optimization techniques along with physics based analytical and semi-analytical methodologies to create a compelling framework which can help thermal-process based oil industry to reduce their […]

Researchers at Ontario Tech University are collaborating with McClymont and Rak geotechnical engineers to develop a new sustainable thermal storage technology that addresses the main challenges that have prevented geothermal heating and cooling systems from being adopted in a meaningful way in Ontario. An innovative storage medium, based on a construction slurry, will be developed […]

In the technology sector, there are so many different computing systems that they need a way to communicate with each other. When different technologies can share information and work together to solve tasks, the benefits of computing are amplified. For example, smart home devices are much more convenient when they all communicate with one platform […]

Out-dated culverts are the most numerous barriers to fish movement and habitat connectivity in British Columbia, barring juvenile salmonids from thousands of kilometers of freshwater rearing habitat. The Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) has untaken an initiative to strategically remediate culverts in B.C. for improved juvenile salmon habitat access. However, the impacts and restoration requirements of […]

Le bien-être est un sujet d’actualité dans les entreprises : ce serait le meilleur prédicteur de l’engagement et de la performance au travail. Plusieurs critères servent à l’évaluer, comme la satisfaction au travail. Ces critères ne sont toutefois pas équivalents à la santé au sens de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé : ce n’est pas […]

Jusqu’à 40% des patients hospitalisés pour évènement cardio-vasculaire majeur (infarctus du myocarde, insuffisance cardiaque, chirurgie cardiaque) sont diabétiques. Au décours de cet épisode de soins, de nouveaux objectifs de traitement et de prévention cardio-vasculaire sont fixés généralement au patient en accord avec les recommandations canadiennes en cardiologie et en diabète. Ces objectifs sont malheureusement rarement […]

With the increasing requirements for smart vehicles in recent years, driving activity recognition in vehicles becomes a promising direction given its unique advantages in safe driving and human-car interaction. It can not only alert the driver when there exist distracted driving behaviors but also enable novel human-car interactions with gesture-based control. Most state-of-the-art systems use […]

Aluminum smelting is a high energy consuming industrial process. The process generates a large amount of the heat that leaves through the exhaust gas. The exhaust gas must be scrubbed of its contaminants before releasing to the atmosphere at the gas treatment unit exit. The scrubbing process is more effective if this gas is cooled […]
