For this application, Solace has developed a hybrid inverter topology which incorporates a half-bridge synchronous buck converter into the inverter. The buck converter is a pain point in the topology — to limit the size of magnetic components, it is desirable to operate the buck at relatively high frequency (>300 kHz). However, switching loss in […]

Social media websites (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, etc.) are widely used by the general public and also by businesses to promote their product and services. Due to the nature of these websites, marketed content by businesses does not always reach their desired target. This can be improved by providing useful information to the businesses, such as […]

The main objective of this project is to conduct a comprehensive data analysis of the full scale ice impact measurement and temperature measurements taken on board an Arctic tanker and compare with existing data sets and analytical models. The results will be used in support of developing and improving ice class rules, design criteria, and […]

Leak detection and location identification of leakage of arctic pipelines in a timely manner is very important because the economic impact of an oil spill to its stakeholders can be huge. It could have an adverse impact on life, the environment, the economy and corporate reputation. In this study a numerical investigations will be employed […]

The research aims to develop new technology for production of nutritional berry powders with lower production cost and higher quality. The project will test the properties of the raw material and formulate new method for processing the sample for simpler and cost effective production process. With the outcome of this project, the partner organization will […]

The goal of this research is to shift climate engagement by improving climate-arts practices through better alignment of underlying research processes and evaluation frameworks. Currently, climate engagement is dominated by the information deficit model, a theory of change widely understood to be more effective in raising awareness of climate challenges than supporting pro-climate behavioural change. […]

Roots and Wings Fish Co., a Newfoundland-based social enterprise, supports small-scale fisheries through sustainable, ethical practices. With a mission rooted in social justice, the company partners with independent fishers to improve market access, secure fair wages, and preserve Newfoundland’s cultural heritage. Committed to sustainability, healthy nutrition, and social equity, Roots and Wings advocates for fisher […]

Technical Analyst to enhance service delivery processes and ensure digitization of key data.

This research project deals with the question of using multimedia computer applications for training Nursing students or professionals to identify heart and lung sounds as part of an overall health assessment session. The new design for this Nursing training application will support a wide array of mobile devices, by using novel technologies such as HTML5, […]

Myofascial pain syndrome can lead to chronic pain. With fatigue or trauma, muscle spindle reflexes activate spinal motoneurones causing them to fire constantly leading to spasm. These reflex signals can also be transmitted to the brain as well. It could be hypothesized that if massage therapy (roller massager included) could regulate cortical and spinal motoneurone […]

Our project tackles the critical challenge of optimizing energy efficiency in electric boats, a vital issue in the growing market of sustainable marine transportation. The primary problem lies in the inefficient energy consumption of electric motors used in electric boats when navigating varying wave conditions, leading to reduced range and increased operational costs. This research […]

The maritime industry faces significant challenges from biofouling—the buildup of marine organisms on vessel hulls—which leads to higher fuel costs, increased carbon emissions, and frequent maintenance. Traditionally, biofouling inspections are manual, costly, and time-consuming, offering limited real-time insights. Our project seeks to address these inefficiencies by developing an AI-powered model to automate the detection and […]
