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 […]

Smartpods, located in Dieppe, New Brunswick, have developed a new product “the Pulse Quest”. The Pulse Quest is a digital monitoring technology that transforms an ordinary electric adjustable desk into a “smart” desk. Not only does the Pulse Quest automate the movement of the sit stand desk, it simultaneously collects data on a battery of […]

Under the Lab2Market Program, the intern will develop and test a field notes tool called STRATUM to alleviate stresses caused by documentation in the field. The tool development will be guided by the results of three studies: 1) a qualitative investigation of user needs and sources of stress (already underway); 2) a preliminary survey of […]

The rapid development of “Omics” technologies has accelerated the elucidation of complex biosynthetic pathway to rare natural product medicines, allowing the metabolic engineering of their production in alternative systems to provide sustainable production. As one of the simplest eukaryotes, yeast contains most of the cellular compartments and machinery for producing plant metabolites, while offering advantages […]
