Le stagiaire en partenariat avec le ministère des Pêches et des Océans utilisera un modèle centré sur chaque espèce pour étudier la variabilité spatiale dans le forçage environnemental sur la dynamique des populations de copépode Calanus finmarchicus. Le modèle comprendra des informations sur les cycles biologiques du Calanus finmarchicus (y compris la durée de développement, […]

Les patients et leurs familles placent respectivement leurs vies et leur confiance dans les prestataires de soins de santé, et dans le système de soins de santé à chaque instant. L’imputabilité est l’obligation légale, éthique et morale à l’égard des patients, de leurs familles et des organismes de services de santé, de respecter une norme […]

Des techniques mathématiques de pointe seront appliquées pour optimiser la conception des fosses septiques de Clearford Industries. La qualité de la conception de ces fosses septiques dépend de plusieurs paramètres opérationnels comme le débit, la température et l'emplacement (parc industriel, collectivité rurale ou propriété individuelle privée). Compte tenu de ces paramètres, il est difficile pour […]

Les activités de construction et de démolition produisent des déchets de bois manufacturé et traité (BMT). À l’heure actuelle, une partie du BMT est moulu et employé pour couvrir quotidiennement les sites d’enfouissement. Cependant, la province de la Nouvelle-Écosse souhaite que ces déchets soient employés à meilleur escient et transformés en un produit à valeur […]

The goal of the project is to evaluate several clustering algorithms on players’ styles data in the context of Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs). The previous work has shown that by segmenting anonymous player data by sessions, and then clustering the sessions using the simple k-means algorithm, we can get a descriptive statistic on player styles, […]

Some species of marine invertebrates are rich source of diverse bioactive molecules with variety of therapeutic properties including immunostimulatory, anticancer and antimicrobial. This research aims to develop an integrated process for the sequential extraction and fractionation of pharmaceutically important from a selected marine invertebrates using supercritical carbon dioxide. The newly developed process will be a […]

This project is intended to support the deployment of an underwater communication network, that is multi-hop and multi-modal. It relies on the combination of acoustic propagation and magnetic-induction to send the information from a remote instrument through a set of relay nodes and to a destination. To enable end-to-end transmission over a secured link, secured […]

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disease of the gut and is recognized as a serious medical condition associated with a profoundly negative impact on patients’ quality of life. Currently, there are no widely acknowledged causes of this disorder and no effective treatments available. Panag Pharma Inc. is a Halifax based drug company which […]

Networks have grown from small topologies connecting a dozen of devices to large, shared infrastructures supporting primary needs of our society. Today, we count on networked services for trading, commuting, monitoring weather conditions, meeting people. In order to provide reliable services, network operators need to cope with the daunting challenge of ensuring millions of flows […]

Canoe Kayak Sprint is a highly technical sport, where small changes in athlete stroke technique and/or boat movement can have large implications on race performance. Due to the complexity of these movements it has been difficult in the past to obtain equipment that is precise enough to measure kayak sprint technique accurately. With continual advancements […]

This research proposes to develop and implement innovative algorithms required to build a software package that will help engineers achieve designs that properly balance reliability and cost. The resulting risk-based design is challenging because it is computationally very time consuming, involving both sophisticated numerical models of the structure being designed, and also Monte Carlo simulations […]

forWater Network researchers at Dalhousie University are working with Halifax Water and Westfor Management Inc. to determine how the Pockwock forested watershed can be managed to improve water treatability. A key issue here is the movement of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). DOC movement from the land to the water has increased in recent decades, and […]
