Waterfowl are important to many people, organizations and cultures for their beauty, hunting opportunities and environmental importance. While these species are prevalent and well-studied throughout North America, what actually governs the growth and declines are still heavily debated. This work will address this issue by examining some possible population drivers in three waterfowl species (wood […]

The main challenges and opportunities are in software development. Nurses provide a lot of care in a day and building a tool for them that relieves their workload […]

It is well understood that Atlantic salmon will seek thermal refuge once certain temperature thresholds are exceeded, and these thresholds differ with age – this behaviour is termed ‘thermoregulation’. However, the temperatures that induces behavioural thermoregulation are not homogeneous across the range of Atlantic salmon. As our understanding of these processes has grown, it is […]

Early detection of dementia among seniors has been an ongoing struggle, leading to underdiagnosis, late diagnosis, and delayed intervention. Using virtual reality powered hardware and proprietary motion tracking software provided by Innerva Virtual Inc., this project intends to create a dual-task assessment to measure mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among older adults, a leading symptom of […]

Due to the depletion of natural fish stocks, the aquaculture industry must build larger land-based farms to meet the growing demand for seafood.
