Effects of high irradiance on the in-vitro pulp temperature rise, mechanical properties of bulkfill resin composites, and light transmission through the post

Nobody likes to have dental work redone. It is uncomfortable and it costs money. Composite resins have been widely used in restorative dentistry for many years and have good clinical longevity, but adequate photoactivation is a critical step in the restorative procedure. One of the main factors influencing correct photoactivation is the type of curing […]

Diagnostic and Monitoring Tool for Amputee Patients Wearing a Prosthesis

In this project, we propose a universal internet of things (IoT) device that connects between the residual limb of an amputee patient and the prosthesis to measure the patient’s comfort levels. This device’s novelty lies in its ability to physically connect to most of the currently available prosthetic devices to provide the user with insightful […]

Investigating the feasibility of and theimplementation of preimplantation genetictesting at Atlantic Assisted ReproductiveTherapies

Atlantic Assisted Reproduction Therapies (AART) is the primary facility located in the Atlantic Provinces capable of assisting reproductively challenged couples. Fertility Pharmacy Services(FPS) is an onsite subsidiary of AART. AART offers a wide range of services, however, AART currently does not have the capacity to assist individuals who require preimplantation genetic testing. Clients who require […]

Development of the Intelligent Offshore Trawling (IoT) Net

The interns and academic advisor will assist the partner organization (Pombcoup Technologies) to design, develop and test in-water on trawling vessels, a bottom trawling net that, unlike traditional nets, does not touch the seabed and thus avoids the usual extensive seabed damage and disruption. Consequently, the drag force loading of this bottom trawling net will […]

Contagious Resilient Leadership in Home Support

This research project involves the evaluation of a leadership program entitled “Contagious Resilient Leadership” for long-term continuing care and home care workers. Leadership training has been identified as extremely important in the continuing care sector, but has continued to be overlooked. The goal of these workshops is to get continuing and home care workers working […]

Development of selective cannabinoid treatments for neuroinflammation

Inflammation of the brain is a symptom of many different types of brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, depression, stroke, and traumatic brain injury. If left untreated, the inflammation can become a chronic problem that causes further damage to the brain. Different types of cannabinoids are a promising source of potential treatments to […]

Business Case for the Intelligent Offshore Trawling (IoT) Net

The project will build a business case to evaluate and develop an innovative Intelligent Offshore Trawling (IoT) Net. This net will transform bottom trawling processes by having the net just above the seabed. This means the seabed is not violently disrupted and that the operations of the trawling vessels are more efficient through a greatly […]

Assessment of a novel chemical entity (TRV 1387) in the treatment of tau-related neuropathology and behavioral impairment in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.

The onset of symptoms in Alzheimer’s Disease, Picks disease, progressive supranuclear palsy and cortical basal degeneration are connected to the formation of insoluble deposits of the tau protein in the brain, also known as neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). The Treventis Corporation has developed new chemicals that are designed to prevent the formation of NFT, which may […]
