An oil well drillstring is a slender slru(.;ture whidl vibrales in 3 major coupleu moues. Unwnlrolkd vibration of the drillstring interferes with the drilling procedure. Tool and bit failure, improper borehole quality and lower penetration rates are examples of the side effects of unwanted vibration of the drillstring. Prior research by others has attempted to […]

The research activity is to collect, compile, and analyze relevant information from external open sources about specific topics impacting the aerospace market. Additionally, research into management and marketing theory related to processes, frameworks, and best practices for market analysis and investment decision-making will also be part of the project. Findings from the initial market research […]

Porcupine Crab (Neolithodes grimaldii) is harvested off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador and in the eastern Arctic as a by-catch in deep water during the turbot fishery. Its dark red color and long sharp spines make handling and processing very difficult. Preliminary experiments have shown that quality crab meat products can be produced from […]

The Atlantic Publisher’s Digital Youth Engagement Strategy (APDYES) is a partnership of Atlantic Canadian publishers, designed to digitally expand the reading experience of today’s “digital natives,” or youth. The strategy requires the research on a diverse Atlantic Canadian youth public to support the discoverability of Atlantic Canadian authors and other creative book content contributors in […]

When storing and retrieving large quantities of aerial surveillance video to be used as evidence, it must be possible to validate video as authentic without relying on secret knowledge. Part of the solution to this problem involves a novel combination of cryptography techniques used in blockchains and elsewhere together with computer filesystems, allowing data to […]

The proposed project investigates the diagenesis of the lowermost Port au Port carbonates in Western Newfoundland. Few earlier studies suggested that the carbonates vary from lime mudstones of low energy to grainstones and rudstones of high energy shallow-shelf settings. The study will allow the reconstruction of full diagenetic history of the basin and factors that […]

The MITACS Internship with Virtual Marine Technology in partnership with Chalmers University and Memorial University will focus on improving the safety of crew who work at marine and offshore environments. The intern will work with researchers at Chalmers University to identify safety and risks concerns relating to operations in marine vessels (Le. preliminary engine room […]

Migration is a fundamentally important behaviour for animals to optimize their ability to acquire valuable forage which varies in its availability through space and time. Several species have been shown to time their migrations to coincide with the flush of new vegetation growth as it emerges along their migratory route. Understanding how individuals cope with […]

There are major areas of uncertainty concerning the exploitation and management of the sea cucumber (C. frondosa) industry in Atlantic Canada. This research project will address these gaps and give stakeholders a better understanding of C. frondosa, in order to make the best possible decisions relative to its management and conservation. The proposed research will […]

Hydrothermal gold deposits contribute a noteworthy fraction of the world’s gold endowment. These deposits are characterized by the widespread occurrence of hydrothermal alteration formed during the interaction of hydrothermal fluids with the wall rocks, which induces important mineralogical and geochemical changes to the original rock. The main objective of this research is the detail characterization […]

The research focuses on the crucial needs for the optimization of biofuel production process. It supports the Canadian energy and environment sectors which are seriously searching for more efficient process, targeting the increasing concern of the society with respect to the fossil fuel energy resources depletion and environmental footprints.

The objective of the proposed research is to investigate the performance degradation of a full-scale modified NACA 66 section, which is typically used for marine propellers, due to leading-edge (LE) manufacturing tolerances. Two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations will be carried out for the base section without defect (as designed) and sections with LE defects […]
