The overall focus of this study is to assess the hypoxia tolerance of salmonids above and below culverts, which are human-made structures that allow water to flow under roads. However, poorly designed culverts can cause habitat fragmentation and negatively impact water temperature and oxygen levels. Gespe’gewa’gi Institute of Natural Understanding (GINU) is creating a robust, […]

A resource to measure collaborative practice and generalized learning within minutes needs to be easy of use, effective and provide intrinsic motivation to engage users. This project advances the company’s commercialization opportunities by expanding entry into larger organizations and provides an additional opportunity to expand market reach. In the future, the product can be used […]

Total hip replacement usually provides good outcomes for patients. Sometimes, if one part of the artificial hip is placed incorrectly, it can cause the hip to dislocate and require a second surgery to fix the implant. New computer software has been developed by our partner to guide the surgeon during the operation to place the […]

This project aims to revolutionize PVC recycling in a circular vinyl economy by further developing and optimizing a novel approach called Selective Dissolution and Precipitation (SDP). PVC, a widely used plastic, poses recycling challenges due to its complex composition, especially in multilayer materials, like coated fabrics. SDP involves selectively dissolving PVC from mixed plastic waste […]

This proposal outlines the development of a novel polymeric hard marine paint with antifouling and easy-to-clean performance, mechanically compatible with the state of the art in-field grooming and cleaning technologies. This proposal targets reaching a 120 days of biofouling prevention in static deployment conditions, the chemical composition of the novel paint non-inclusive of toxins or […]

The research project involves three interns collaborating on an innovative solution to improve farm management by automating weed control. Intern #1 is tasked with developing a smart system that uses machine learning and computer vision to distinguish between crops and weeds, ensuring the robot can identify what needs to be removed without damaging valuable plants. […]

Over 18,000 systems, including those of numerous government agencies and corporations, as well as 15 critical infrastructure companies in gas, oil, electricity, and manufacturing, were affected by the SolarWinds supply chain attack, resulting in an estimated recovery cost of over 100 billion1. This attack highlights the increased interconnectivity between IT networks and OT systems due […]

L’objectif du projet est d’innover dans la conception d’un C-OTDR (Coherent Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) et de trouver le meilleur compromis entre la performance et les coûts. Les C-OTDR sont utilisés dans des marchés niches tels que les applications de mesure sur les liens sous-marins ainsi que dans différents types de senseurs haut de gamme […]

A comparative analysis of the root microbiomes of lettuce grown in soil to lettuce grown in hydroponic systems. The microbial community composition for each root sample will be identified using DNA sequencing and compared to determine differences between each sample. This information will help Ceragen improve their ability to identify plant growth promoting microbes that […]

Soybean sudden death syndrome (SDS), caused by Fusarium virguliforme, causes yield losses amounting to $ 500 M and $ 32 M (CAD) in the USA and Ontario annually, with yield losses reaching 100% in affected fields in epidemic years. Resistant cultivars are one of the most effective ways of minimizing yield losses due to SDS. […]

Cette recherche vise à concevoir, dimensionner et optimiser un système novateur pour produire, liquéfier et stocker l’hydrogène en exploitant l’eau de mer et le vent des côtes du Nouveau Brunswick. On compte maximiser son rendement énergétique et sa robustesse tout en minimisant le coût économique et environnemental. Ceci passe par le choix des sources d’énergie […]

High plasma cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) is a potential consequence of obesity that is becoming a major public health challenge. Excess caloric intake without a corresponding increase in energy expenditure is believed to be the major contributing factor to weight gain among Canadians leading to hypercholesterolemia. This ‘silent killer’, hypercholesterolemia is characterized by increased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol […]
