The intensity and frequency of heat waves is increasing. The effects of this on agricultural pests is poorly understood. Insects have a remarkable ability to adapt to unfavourable conditions, and this resilience can be inherited. This study springboards a novel collaboration to study whether a newly discovered method of DNA transmission across generations, extra chromosomal […]

Small-scale fisheries and the seafood systems they support in Canada are not well understood. It is unknown exactly how many people participate in small-scale fisheries, the types of fisheries operations they have, or where they sell their catch. The Ecology Action Centre (EAC) hosts a network called Local Catch Canada (LCC) , which is a […]

This project will be used to help develop tools for modelling how we control and optimize the size of bubbles and droplets that are needed in some industrial reactors. The current application is related to on-going work that is helping to reduce the energy needed to produce existing carbon-based fuels, but is also applicable to […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Then intent of this project is to develop and demonstrate a highly synchronized communication system capable of connecting multiple devices operating on effectively the same clock. This functionality ensures that any measurement that is made on one single device can be correlated to another measurement made on a separate device with sub-microsecond accuracy. It is […]

Obruta, in collaboration with Dalhousie University, aims to advance computer vision techniques for detecting and estimating the pose of spacecraft in space. While object detection in general has made significant strides, existing models often excel at identifying everyday objects but struggle with specialized tasks like spacecraft detection due to the unique and challenging environment of […]

Mental disorders can have negative impacts on people’s health, quality of life, relationships, and productivity. However, people who are in need of mental health and addiction services encounter significant challenges, including timely access to mental health services. As a result, clients’ mental health needs are not met or not fully met, and their health will […]

Emergency departments (EDs) all over Canada are facing unparalleled challenges. In a time of increasing patient volume and complexity, EDs have also faced extreme staff shortages and access block within many other parts of the system. Delivery of emergency care in our health system is complex. The IWK ED has a long history of innovation […]

Stroke happens every 5 minutes and one common and disabling disorder due to right-brain stroke is spatial neglect, a problem with paying attention to the left side of the body and world. Spatial neglect is chronic and leads to slower recovery and longer hospital stays, and effective treatment requires significant health care resources. The purpose […]

Refactoring is an important software development activity that employs various techniques to enhance the structure and quality of source code without altering its functionality. Over the last two decades, researchers in the field have proposed several tools and techniques to enable automated refactoring. Despite a plethora of literature, though some steps can be automated, overall […]

The Halifax MacKay Bridge is a critical passage for maritime traffic, requiring accurate air gap predictions to ensure safe vessel clearance. This project will develop a machine learning-based forecasting model that estimates air gap values at 30-minute, 90-minute, and 72–96-hour intervals. Using data from the Port of Halifax, including tide levels, weather conditions, and traffic […]

This project between Dalhousie University and Paris-Saclay University focuses on improving how low-power wireless networks share the sub-GHz radio spectrum. These networks, including LoRaWAN, Wi-Fi HaLow, and Sigfox, are widely used in smart cities, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. However, when they operate in the same unlicensed frequency bands, interference can occur, reducing reliability and energy […]
