The efficiency and productivity of the construction industry has been stagnant due to lack of innovations in technologies, as compared to other industries (e.g., manufacturing, etc.). The digitization of the workflows can help the construction companies to become agile and collecting process related data, which can be further used for decision making and continuous improvement […]

Salt marshes are coastal wetlands that provide many ecosystem services. Many fish species are known to use salt marshes as habitat at some point throughout their lives including those that hold commercial and recreational value. Depending on their location, salt marshes may experience varying degrees of tidal flooding, not only making more areas of the […]

Medicinal mushrooms possess compounds with beneficial properties, including anti-microbial, anti-tumoral, and anti-inflammatory, which support their role and application in current healthcare practices. In this proposal, we will measure the impact and role of extracts from medicinal mushrooms provided by Wake Network Inc. to identify how immune cells and an animal model change their response to […]

Energy efficiency for homes has been of tremendous interests in recent years as the overall energy consumption of households takes up a significant portion of the total energy consumption. Energy efficiency is key for homeowners to save. Therefore, the ability to clearly identify heat losses in a household is vital in the creation of unique […]

Irving Paper is a specialty paper producer located in Saint John, New Brunswick. The mill has made significant investment most recently. There are three TMP lines that produce high- quality TMP to be used by two super- calendered (SC) paper machines. The TMP quality, including the fiber characteristics, would be critical in producing highquality SC […]

45 Drives—a Nova Scotia based company—offers a high-density, low-cost data storage solution called the Storinator. While this product has been very successful, clients have indicated they would like a clustered solution which offers similar performance and redundancy, without sacrificing security or drastically increasing the cost. Researchers at the University of New Brunswick have been identified […]

The dissolving pulp produced by Neucel Specialty Cellulose is a grade of pulp with high purity of alpha cellulose and used as the raw material to manufacture synthetic fibers, plastic materials, etc. The viscosity of pulp, one of the crucial factors, is undesirably decreased in the bleaching process, particularly in the hot alkali extraction stage, […]

The present worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) has already caused enormous loss of human lives, and massive economic and social upheaval. Even as COVID-19 vaccination has started, it may be many months before normalcy returns. Public health interventions can play a major role in containing and mitigating infectious diseases by disrupting the propagation of contagion. […]

In large scale earth observation systems, data is gathered in short duration surveys returning massive numbers of point data observations (often millions) covering significantly sized regions. To maintain up-to-date products (e.g. navigation charts in harbours with continuous silt build-up), successive surveys are performed that often cover overlapping areas. Searches to find all the data in […]

Salt marshes are important coastal ecosystems as they provide many services to surrounding areas. However, due to their highly productive nature, they have a long history of being converted into farmland in the Maritimes and continue to be altered for human development. Salt marsh restoration has become popular recently to mitigate the increasing societal costs […]

There are Atlantic sturgeon in the Restigouche River. This species is millions of years old and it is still found in our waters today. Fishers have reported their sightings every year in the last decade. Unfortunately, this species is now considered to be a species-at-risk. Because their numbers are so low, we don’t see them […]
