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 […]

Individuals’ mood can change on a moment-to-moment basis. Understanding and predicating changes in mood, however, is difficult. A Canadian technology company, called UpBeing, has developed a mobile app to help collect data on mood (among other data) multiple times in a given day. The proposed study will use cutting-edge machine learning techniques and data provided […]

In the modern period of the Industrial Revolution, enormous emphasis is placed on green technology, including zero or less waste production, recycling resources, and using recyclable raw materials. According to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals for a peaceful and flourishing world, materials science research focuses on recovering techniques and proper waste control are essential to […]

Incorporating renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar farms, have posed a challenge to electrical engineers due to their intermittent nature as the time and amount of energy generated depends on the weather. For this reason, grid stability and predicting the behaviour of renewables has been increasingly more important. In this study, we propose […]
