The heart beats 3-4 billion times in one’s lifetime, while adapting its activity to meet the body’s continuously changing physiological demands. This adaptation is driven partly by the central nervous system, which sends signals to a network of nerves in the heart, known as the intracardiac nervous system (IcNS). Many believe the IcNS acts as […]

Interstitial cystitis is a life-long condition that causes pain and pressure in the bladder. It is not clear how this condition is caused; however, we know that it involves increased bladder inflammation. Currently available treatments for interstitial cystitis do not work for everyone and often stop working after a few years. We are developing a […]

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

Zircon, the oldest mineral found on Earth, provides a unique record of geological processes through time. Its extreme chemical and mechanical stability helps preserving these records upon the mineral transfer to the Earth’s surface and weathering. Zircon is a ubiquitous accessory mineral in silica-rich continental rocks, which has long been used as a tracer of […]

In today’s world it is important to make data-driven decisions. However, as the data volume increases and as it evolves continuously and dynamically, in other words as we get more and more streaming data, it becomes more challenging to use such data for decision making and support. Thus in this research, we aim to develop […]

LANGA is a project at Copernicus Studios (Halifax, NS) that is experimenting with the use of automated speech recognition in on-line video games to assist in language learning. Over the past 2 years, the company has been developing prototypes of the game and testing them in conjunction with the NeuroCognitive Imaging Lab at Dalhousie University. […]

This project aims to integrate a chat interface into the UpBeing app to allow users to engage more deeply with their insights. It consists of informing a large language model (LLM) of a user’s most recent insights, which will give it real time ground truth a users’ recent experience, thereby empowering the LLM to provide […]

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent organic compounds that are called as “forever chemicals” in the environment. These chemical cause stress on the environment and human health. Therefore, study on the analysis of PFAS is necessary for the environmental quality and sustainable development. The research project “Analysis of PFAS by liquid chromatography with triple […]

Agricultural use of municipal biosolids has many possible benefits for producers, including improved soil physical properties and fertility supplements for crop production. However, recent concerns with pharmaceutical ingredients, consumer product ingredients, and hormones entering into sensitive ecological environments such as surface or ground water has brought into question the continued use of biosolids in agriculture. […]

Ice hockey goaltending is a highly unique position that requires equipment that can provide adequate protection while maximizing performance. CCM hockey has two different ice hockey goaltender leg pad models: a stiff leg pad, and a flexible leg pad. Common feedback for the stiff leg pad model is that it feels bulky and is thought […]
