This proposal is devoted to two areas of sheep production: animal health (parasitic infection) and feed efficiency, which both areas are economically important and make a substantial impact on the profitability and sustainability of the enterprise. We will investigate to find potential biomarkers that could be indicator of parasite resistance and/or feed efficiency and could […]

The objective of this project is to develop a hardware in-the-loop sailboat model software that can represent the sailboat’s performance during its mission. At its core, the controller will be programmed on an embedded processor, and will communicate with all of the sailboat’s sub-systems that can be modelled in software. First, to represent the sensor […]

Diagnosis of glaucoma during the early stages is critical to prevent permanent structural damage and irreversible vision loss. Glaucoma is typically detected through an examination of structural damage to the optic nerve combined with measurements of visual function. This research project aims to focus on the development of an enhanced graphical user interface to perform, […]

The expected overall project outcome is a unified surgical delivery tool and implantable adhesive that provides the customers/users (surgeons/patients/hospitals) of this device a surgical repair product. Materials and Methodology: Material Description: The […]

One approach that is commonly used to treat chronic condition is self-management interventions. Self-management refers to the daily “tasks that individuals must undertake to live well with … chronic conditions” (Adams et al., 2004). To help people with chronic conditions develop the skills needed to manage their conditions, several self-management interventions have been created. Many […]

In this project, an online, interactive map visualization tool will be built to illustrate trends of community wellbeing indicators across Nova Scotia using the 2019 Quality of Life survey as the primary source of information. The goal is to empower residents and decision-makers to understand unique well-being trends in communities, providing an invaluable resource for […]

This internship will contribute to the market research and go-to-market strategy development of the Marine Way app, a citizen science mapping mobile application that will help combat the global ghost gear problem. The resultant outcome of the internship is expected to contribute to the establishment of a company and the future publication of the mobile […]

The proposed research project is set out to raise an awareness in the Black hair community and Black communities in Halifax and Canada by extension as regard the natural hair industry and what she can offer. I believe the afro texture hair is quite different from every other hair type out there and it is […]
