The project will examine of population genomics, application of genomic selection, and identification of genes underlying economically important traits which are vital steps for the development of selection program. Consequently, this will have an impact on the economic viability of mink producers due to targeted genomic breeding strategies and the use of biomarker-assisted selection. Such […]

Designing a P2P Money Exchange platform application that creates a social network based on mutual trust will help individuals trust each other and participate in deals for Peer-to-Peer money exchange. This idea focuses on eliminating the need to use escrow mechanisms and the complexities of handling extra electronic payment and money transfer transactions and mandatory […]

Approximately 70% of software projects do not achieve their goals. The project team offers Conflux, a productivity tool for software project managers, to monitor their projects’ productivity, health, and quality. Conflux helps the development team to be productive, motivated, and quality-oriented and provides early signs to project management to help them avoid project failure.

We are developing a circular economy computational model for cellular agriculture supply chains to identify the potential social, environmental and economic benefits of using underutilized resources as inputs. This project will identify synergies between unlikely actors who could exchange resources – such as pea starch (byproduct of pea processing) that can be used as raw […]

We have developed a natural product acaricide that is based on balsam fir (Abies balsamea) essential oil. The product kills overwintering ticks. It is designed to be applied to lawns, gardens and municipal parks in the late fall to kill ticks over the winter. The purpose of this project is to complete testing under semi-natural […]

Obesity is a well-known risk factor in many diseases, including diabetes, cancer, and heart disease, in part due to abnormal blood vessel development with fat tissue. During weight gain, the volume of fat tissues can undergo drastic changes. Normally, when new tissues develop, there is a corresponding increase in blood vessel density via a process […]

The primary objective of the project is to investigate, design and prototype a secure and reliable online tool that enables real-estate buyers to pay deposits on real-estate transactions electronically via credit or debit card. In addition, it will allow real-estate brokers to log in and view transaction statistics. The tool will provide a user friendly […]

The proposed research project will study the past and present oral health care knowledge and experiences of Ukrainians who have arrived in Nova Scotia, Canada since February 2022, due to the ongoing war in Ukraine. This will include an exploration of perceptions and knowledge of oral health, experience navigating oral health care services in Ukraine […]

It is the aim of this internship to develop and perform cost-analysis on a set of manufacturing protocols for batch production of high frequency annular ultrasound imaging arrays. To our knowledge this would represent the first time that such arrays have designed for high-volume (2000/wk) production, making the project highly novel. Once the process is […]

The impacts of climate change on source and receiving water quality are estimated to be profound. Climate change adaptation requires an anticipatory reaction across the water community to address design approaches to manage water quality and treatment costs into the future. The consideration of climate change in design is only recently gaining the attention of […]

In this project, inputs from the different stakeholders in the transition to Net Zero economy will be collected and analyzed to facilitate the development of simulation models that can inform policy making to steer this transition in the most efficient and effective way. Two sets of workshops will be organized, with invitees from academia, different […]

We propose to investigate the crust and uppermost mantle structure of the offshore Nova Scotia margin with the aim of producing a comprehensive regional map of the rifting style along the margin to contribute to a better understanding of the margin geology and its significant variations from NE to SW. We will process the already […]
