Le projet de recherche a pour but ultime la restauration écologique d’un site de résidus miniers en appliquant une approche d’économie circulaire. Pour rendre possible cette restauration, le projet consiste à développer un terreau à base de résidus de bauxite, d’agents neutralisants usés et de matières résiduelles fertilisantes provenant de la région du Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean. L’agent […]

As part of the Research Nova Scotia funded “Collaborative Priority-Setting to Strengthen Community-Based Mental Health Care in Rural Nova Scotia” project, the intern (an undergraduate student at St.FX) will partner with the Pictou County Community Health Centre (PCCHC) under the supervision of Dr. Jill Murphy. The goal of this study is to: 1) map the […]

In 2024, Canada’s coal production was 42.5 mln metric tonnes, while British Columbia coal production, which produces 95% of metallurgical coal, accounted for 64% of Canada’s production according to Statistics Canada, (2024). The metallurgical coal is an important raw material for transition to the clean and renewable energy, because it is used for steel production […]

The project aims to develop and test thermoelectric technology with residential furnaces to generate power. The solution will generate power from waste heat from furnaces with improved energy efficiency. The testing includes thermal measurements, power measurements, and energy efficiency evaluation and optimization.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a great impact on the mental health of Canadians. Surprisingly, as of April 2022, self-rated levels of anxiety and depression were comparable to the ones observed during the worst periods of the pandemic, according to data collected by MHRC. Therefore, it is important that we continue to monitor the mental health […]

Long COVID (LC) is a long-lasting condition that affects people after a COVID-19 infection. It includes symptoms that can last for months and affect different parts of the body. In Canada, about 19% of adults who had COVID-19 develop LC, with many experiencing symptoms for over six months or even longer. The exact cause of […]

Millions of falls occur every year placing substantial burden on all sectors of our society. What causes these falls is difficult to identify and is made more challenging as most of the research did not occur in real-world environments. Our project will develop wearable technology and new methods to study the factors that lead to […]

One of the busines processes of C-Therm Technologies is related to devices measuring thermal properties of materials: liquids, solids, powders and pastes. One part of the process is analyzing the data collected by the sensors. The project in this proposal will involve designing an AI solution for data analysis to improve the process of collected […]

Dans le contexte actuel de triple crise (climatique, énergétique, économique), la dépendance aux déplacements des récréotouristes par voiture demeure un écueil dans la durabilité souhaitée des pratiques récréotouristiques. Ce projet vise à documenter de manière empirique les éléments associés à la planification et l’aménagement de sentiers polyvalent contribuant à la mobilité douce et durables des […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

This research project will leverage Large Language Models to automatically read and interpret network product documentations, generating structured information that can help automate the configuration of network products with minimal human effort. By automating these time-consuming tasks, the project aims to help engineers accelerate their product setup process, reduce the risk of manual errors, and […]

Most of the managed forests in Eastern Canada are certified for sustainability by independent agencies, notably the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). Part of the definition of sustainability is the maintenance of biodiversity over the long term. This project will evaluate one aspect of biodiversity, the abundance and distribution of species of forest birds. We will […]
