BlueNode is a SaaS company focused on the sanitation and analysis of marine shipping data. The research project is focused on increasing the precision and accuracy of shipped goods processed through Canadian ports. Should the research prove the be successful, the technical methods used with be directly incorporated into the BlueNode system.

Developing technology capable of onsite medical diagnostics is crucial for health-care delivery in clinical and emergency settings. To perform on-site diagnostics, health-care practitioners need compact, inexpensive, and user-friendly equipment. Alentic Microscience has developed a system that uses small volumes of blood for cell counting and serum tests, occurring at the site of blood extraction. This […]

Data storage devices as hard drives or solid state disks rely on the magnetic properties of special materials. As the amount of data produced is increasing every day; new, more efficient, with more storage capacity, and faster devices are needed. One plausible option is to investigate exotic magnetic materials. We will run numerical simulations to […]

IMV Inc. is developing injectable cancer immune therapy using the company’s DPXTM technology. DPX is a patented formulation that displays excellent tumor control and provides a long lasting and specific effect. The way by which this therapy exerts its effect is unclear but the translational team at IMV is determined to discover its mechanism of […]

The overall aim of the research is to develop a decision support system to quickly estimate the oil outflow from a damaged tanker in a collision or grounding accident, in Arctic conditions. The work in this Mitacs project focuses on a part of this overall objective: modeling the dynamic oil outflow from a damaged tanker. […]

The overall aim of the research is to develop a decision support system to quickly estimate the oil outflow from a damaged tanker in a collision or grounding accident, in Arctic conditions. The work in this project focuses on modeling the accidental damage size for representative tankers operating in the Canadian Arctic, when these experience […]

Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) and its fibres being durable are used in fabrics, sail making and papermaking. Its seed is a rich source of polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3, 6) and its oil is used for cooking and for medicinal purposes. Cannabis contains cannabinoids, of which, ?9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) have been identified as […]

OERA use hydroacoustic echosounder surveys to evaluate the impact on marine life of tidal turbines in the Bay of Fundy. OERA use Echoview software to read in the raw sensor data (e.g. voltages) and convert it to a visual representation. Echoview contains some algorithms to detect the bottom of the ocean. However, the Fundy data […]

Much is known about how our mind guides our attention as we visually process our environment. Visual search is guided by a marriage between internal (i.e., our explicit goals and objectives) and external (i.e., physical properties of objects) factors that influence our perception of the world around us. Recent work has shown that individuals vary […]

This project focuses on building a framework for socio-ecological and economic indicators that integrate local observations and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK). The primary goal is to uncover valuable knowledge of coastal communities and provide a tool that encompasses TEK in measuring the status and trends in the health of marine resources while at the same […]

Even if people have access to a past history of how they spend their time and their money, it can be challenging to make sense of past patterns in order to make decisions about how to better use their time and money in the future. By enabling past patterns to “pop out” visually, interactive visual […]

The objective of this research is to investigate long-term interaction between host cell and pathogen. Research will be proceed using ATPS(Aqueous two phase system) and hydrogel. ATPS enable pathogen to form localized biofilm on mammalian cell tissue. To see long-term interaction, biofilm will be stably localized on mammalian cell using hydrogel, which protect mammalian cell […]
