The project aims to develop a non-invasive, dual-modality tool combining eye-tracking (ET) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to measure cognitive capacity and enable early detection of cognitive impairments in older adults. Using short-term memory tasks, it captures objective biomarkers (e.g., pupil size and prefrontal neural activity) to outperform the conventional tests in sensitivity and cultural […]

The project aims to prove and commercialize AddManuChain, a computerized inventory system that will deploy on-site 3D printing to print certified parts on location at the remote industrial sites, including offshore oil platforms, mining operations, and also in the maritime facility to eliminate the expensive effect of long downtimes incurred during part replacement. The project […]

One third of Canadians drink groundwater, yet the threats to groundwater remain ‘out of sight, out of mind’ for most Canadians and decision makers. Small, rural communities and First Nations disproportionately rely on groundwater as a drinking water resources but often lack the resources to advocate for effective policy that ensures groundwater security. Although groundwater […]

This project aims to develop computer models that can help improve how stroke care is delivered in hospitals with limited resources. By using data and predicting patient needs, we hope to design better ways to manage hospital staff, equipment, and patient care. The collaboration between Arizona State University and Dalhousie University will combine expertise in […]

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

Massive cyanobacterial blooms have been observed in several provinces of Canada including Nova Scotia and New Brunswick over the past few decades which is a significant environmental and public health concern. These blooms are a serious threat to human lives and the environment as the cyanotoxin released are deleterious for the human life and the […]

A resource to measure collaborative practice and generalized learning within minutes needs to be easy of use, effective and provide intrinsic motivation to engage users. This project advances the company’s commercialization opportunities by expanding entry into larger organizations and provides an additional opportunity to expand market reach. In the future, the product can be used […]

Alentic Microscience Inc has developed a highly portable device that performs complete blood counts and other in vitro diagnostic tests based on the lensless microscopic imaging of blood and reagents. The system uses proprietary sampling techniques and unique analysis software based on advanced machine learning techniques. The software has been designed as a multistep process […]

Methane emission by ruminants has considerable contribution to global warming. Individual animals have been argued to harbor their own specific microbial communities responsible for methane production. The objective of this study is to identify the genomic regions associated with community composition of rumen methanogenic archaea in Iranian Holstein cattle. The genomic DNA from 300 Iranian […]

The Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation (NSLC) is a crown corporation and the sole purveyor of alcoholic beverages in the province of Nova Scotia. As part of their commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) the NSLC is looking to update their sustainability targets of their environmental management plan (EMP). Now in the third year of a […]

The Government of Canada is in the process of reviewing legislation and procedures related to environmental processes, e.g. the Canadian Environmental Assessment process (CEAA) and the National Energy Board process (NEB). Indigenous groups across Canada have participated in engagement sessions, and made formal written submissions which have been made publically available. This research project will […]
