The MSc student will determine the factors determining the distribution of gold at the Ormaque gold project, near Val d’Or Quebec. This will be accomplished by examination of drill core, and mapping of underground exposure when available, at the Ormaque site during two summer field seasons. Samples collected in the field will be returned to […]

Many seniors are spending their time lying in bed or sitting in recumbent chairs because of chronic conditions that limit their mobility. It is crucial to assure that their position is changed regularly to prevent bedsores. Therefore, a monitoring system is required to not only remind the caregivers or family members to reposition the patients […]

AIM Colours is looking to revolutionize self-expression by combining cosmetics with technology through the creation of eCosmetics. We envision eCosmetic applications as devices that can be continuously colour-manipulated from any mobile device, creating a world where anyone can be empowered by make-up instantaneously. This project requires the seamless integration of engineering and science to ensure […]

Dental light-curing units (LCUs) are used every day in most dental offices. If this LCU is misused, this dental work can fail prematurely causing pain, post-operative sensitivity, pulpal death, and economic hardship. In Canada, dental curing lights are Class 1 medical devices, and Health Canada does not test dental curing lights before they are used […]

TRIUMF has begun the TRISR project constructing a experimental facility which is called low energy ion storage ring. The storage ring will provide unique possibilities for investigations of nuclear reactions when it is connected to a radioactive ion beam facility ISAC-I of TRIUMF. A neutron generator will be added to the facility to provide a […]

Over the last decade, chemical biology approaches have proven increasingly successful, delivering new solutions to problems that were previously unresponsive to traditional chemical and biochemical techniques. In the fields of proteomics and genomics, new diagnostics and therapeutic strategies are revolutionizing healthcare. However, in the field of glycomics, tractable strategies to study glycan (carbohydrate)-mediated processes remain […]

We are creating a powerful tool for improvements in surgeries of the brain and spine. A new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine will be used inside operating rooms so patients undergoing surgery can be imaged in the middle of the surgery for quality control. For instance, surgeons can obtain an MRI to ensure the entire […]

Marine Thinking aims at building a thriving business and using cutting edge AI technologies to transform the marine sector, starting in Atlantic Canada. The project is to develop advanced machine learning algorithms for the guidance, navigation and control unit of the USV, to have a safe navigation with hybrid path planning, obstacle avoidance, intelligent robust […]

Au cours de ce projet, nous souhaitons fermer des sacs en plastique utilisés pour l’industrie agroalimentaire et l’agriculture. Les problèmes principaux du sujet sont d’une part la méthode de fermeture, qui consiste à faire partiellement fondre la matière grâce à des ondes sonores à hautes fréquences transmisses précisément à la matière. Et d’autre part il […]

Le traitement des gliomes malins, dont le glioblastome, est un besoin médical non satisfait dont l’issue est normalement fatale, ce qui pose des défis majeurs pour la prise en charge clinique. Ce projet vise à démontrer que le modèle CAMAvatar, basé sur la membrane chorioallantoïdienne (CAM) d’embryons de poulet, est une technologie prometteuse dans l’identification […]

L’objectif du projet est de créer une antenne imprimée (microstrip) sur un substrat à déterminer. Cette antenne devra fonctionner sur une bande de fréquences précise (24.000 GHz à 24.500 GHz) et devra aussi éviter autant que possible de réféchir les signaux vers le générateur afin d’être efficace. Afin de bien répondre aux besoins de l’entreprise, […]

The Road Pavements are subjected to distress due to heavy traffic load and environmental factor and is a common cause of accidents resulting in loss of valuable life and economic losses. Regular monitoring and timely maintenance is the key to ensuring a healthy roadway infrastructure. Traditional methods of manual monitoring are time consuming, expensive and […]
