We appear to be at the beginning of a revolution in the development of new technologies based on quantum science. Over the past several years, Canada has become a world leader in quantum information research and in the development of these emerging quantum technologies. Quantum computers that are based on optical architectures include some of […]

In cabinet production, board cutting and cabinet manufacturing need workers to manually operate machines and assembly. The proposed research project will simulate the real-time process of automatic board cutting and manufacture, assembly automatically with the help of various sensors and camara vision. The integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms enables intelligent decision-making and […]

Obruta, in collaboration with Dalhousie University, aims to advance computer vision techniques for detecting and estimating the pose of spacecraft in space. While object detection in general has made significant strides, existing models often excel at identifying everyday objects but struggle with specialized tasks like spacecraft detection due to the unique and challenging environment of […]

Better supporting the social participation of 2SLGBTQIA+ (two-spirited, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, asexual, and those with diverse sexual orientations and gender identities) older adults with disabilities is essential to promoting their health and well-being. The combination of a minority gender identity or sexual orientation, disabilities and advanced age increases the risk […]

This one-year Accelerate project is the initial phase of a larger collaboration aiming to improve outcomes for men undergoing a specific prostate cancer treatment. The treatment, called MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA), is a minimally invasive procedure that uses high-intensity ultrasound to destroy prostate tissue, with MRI technology helping to plan and monitor the process. […]

Les plantes du thé de Labrador (Rhododendron tomentosum, Rhododendron groenlandicum et Rhododendron columbianum) présentent un grand intérêt scientifique en raison de leur capacité à produire une large gamme de métabolites spécialisées à l’instar des flavonoïdes, des acides phénoliques, des proanthocyanidines et des terpènes etc. Également, des activités biologiques : anti-inflammatoire, antimicrobiennes, antioxydantes, anticancéreuse, anti-plasmodial et […]

Many fish populations have declined across Canada, due to diverse pressures including overharvesting, pollution, habitat degradation, and more. Prior to colonization, Indigenous management systems supported large-scale fisheries alongside healthy fish populations. These systems are being revitalized by their communities, to meet the needs of both people and fish, and move towards more sustainable fisheries practices. […]

The Environmental scan, including a critical appraisal, will 1) map the scope, range, and effectiveness of music and movement programs for older adults and identify gaps and opportunities for future research and practice; and 2) map and appraise research methodologies being used for studies conducted on music and movement programs for older people and identify […]

Climate-related events like the heat dome of 2021 are happening more and more frequently and cause considerable impacts on the health of individuals and the healthcare systems that care for them. To judge how much can be spent to prevent or limit the impact of future climate-related events, decision-makers for regions or healthcare systems need […]

Chinook salmon exhibit diverse migration strategies, both among and with populations. In the Strait of Georgia between mainland British Columbia and Vancouver Island, Chinook salmon exhibit two distinct migration strategies. Some individuals (called migrants) migrate away to the outer coast of British Columbia, Washington and Alaska, while others (called residents) remain near their home rivers […]

La transition des opérateurs de flottes de véhicules lourds vers des Véhicules à Zéro Émission (VZE) est un processus ambitieux, mais nécessaire pour atteindre les objectifs climatiques ciblés. Elle repose sur un ensemble de facteurs interdépendants : technologies adaptées, infrastructures de recharge, soutien gouvernemental, et engagement des opérateurs privés. Dans un secteur compétitif aux marges […]

Oats and faba beans, often wasted in current processing methods, can be transformed into valuable food products. This can increase their economic potential and lessen environmental impact. Our proposal breaks down crop residues into sugars and lignin. Sugars are fermented into single-cell protein, while lignin is converted into vanillin. This vanillin, combined with sugars, produces […]
