The protein hormones (ligands) that circulate in blood plasma and their receptors on the surface of cells are among the most important diagnostic and therapeutic molecules and are a key focus for the detection and treatment of diseases. Presenting the ligands on chromatography beads may permit the isolation of receptors by a modified form of […]

In 2010, ERA Architects initiated the Culture of Outports program that explores the adaptive reuse of outport communities scattered along the coastline of Newfoundland and Labrador. Culture of Outports uses research, design, and planning to foster livable communities in Newfoundland’s historic outports. The project proposes that an understanding of the unique history and character of […]

This project will develop a prototype technology to guide cranes to automatically place building elements using visual reference markers (QR codes). Working with Sparkbird, the R&D arm of WZMH, two interns will develop a software application to estimate the relative positions of the element to be placed with existing elements and the crane, allowing for […]

Weight reduction has been one of major driving forces of research and innovation in automotive industries. Changing from the conventional Laser overlap welding to edge welding could save 50% of total weight of joint flanges of workpiece. Also, edge welding can significantly improve the welded joint mechanical properties. However, edge welding is challenging since the […]

Over 5% people across the world are hard of hearing, and require assistance in navigating public transportation/airports. This project attempts at automated sign language synthesis through a virtual avatar for improving day-to-day life of people with hearing impairment. The industry partner has developed a preliminary framework to conduct animation on virtual avatars to play back […]

Music interventions have been seen to be effective in promoting social, emotional, and cognitive wellbeing, and may be specifically favoured by older adults. However, little is known on the effectiveness of a music intervention that is adapted to the mood and preferences of individual older adults. To fill this gap, the proposed project will assess […]

The proposed research attempts to understand Canadian consumers’ perception toward sustainable product attributes of consumer electronics products and factors affecting the consumers’ choices concerning sustainable consumer electronics during product purchase. The study uses the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as its theoretical framework and further attempts to extend the TPB by incorporating additional constructs such […]

The project seeks to optimize the performance of a Language Model (LLM) specifically tailored for patent drafting. Through meticulous fine-tuning, our objective is to elevate the LLM’s capabilities, thereby enhancing the efficiency and precision in the generation of patent documents.

This research project study the different approaches organizations have to corporate social responsibility and identify the reasons and challenges that are stopping different types of organizations from integrating the notion of “purpose” in their profit creation mechanisms. So far, the confusion that surrounds social responsibility space as well as the inability to accurately measure outcomes […]

In partnership with Antek Logistics Inc, the project will investigate how computer vision algorithms can help automate day-to-day operations in a warehouse. Novel algorithms will be developed to automatically identify and count pallets and containers within the warehouse for inventory tracking. We will also develop algorithms to detect damage severity on incoming pallets. The project […]

In warehouses, it’s important to know where forklifts are for safety and efficiency. Visual SLAM is a promising approach for forklift localization and navigation for indoor applications, but current methods have problems like being slow, not understanding what they see, and being affected by changes in light. This project aims to solve these problems and […]
