Nova Scotia’s investment of Green Fund resources in energy efficiency, solar energy and electric transportation will mitigate carbon emissions immediately. Both the Green Choice Program and renewable energy transmitted via the Maritime Link will significantly decarbonize the electricity grid in the short to medium-term. The initiatives conceived within these programs are cost efficient and low […]

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

Careful operational planning is essential for making agriculture autonomous and sustainable. The movements of agricultural equipment in the farm can be optimized to increase productivity and reduce costs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The aim of this project is to develop and productize advanced optimization algorithms to determine the best end-to-end machine routes, positions of […]

With an estimated population of 15,893, the Municipal District of Willow Creek is a small municipality. Willow Creek Regional Class II Landfill is the only waste management facility for the entire M.D. of Willow Creek region. The Willow Creek Regional Waste Management Services Commission (WCRWMSC) governs and manages this existing disposal facility. The Willow Creek […]

A digitalized method for finger dexterity test to evaluate and track neurological health base on daily activities, including a digital platform for finger dexterity assessment and a testing way base on the finger interaction between human hands, daily activities and wearables. This method can help XO Technology expand the application of motion analysis and wearable […]

Music interventions have been seen to be effective in promoting social, emotional, and cognitive wellbeing, and may be specifically favoured by older adults. However, little is known on the effectiveness of a music intervention that is adapted to the mood and preferences of individual older adults. To fill this gap, the proposed project will assess […]

This research project investigates the design of an all-digital transmitter that is suitable for low earth orbit satellite (LEO) networks. Important requirements for the satellite application include a transmit system that has a software reconfigurable hardware platform that is power efficient and can generate modulated output signals at the carrier frequency. The architecture also needs […]

Gene therapy has the potential to cure a wide range of debilitating genetic diseases. One of the best ways to correct a genetic defect is to use a viral vector to deliver a functional copy of the gene to cells in the body so that they can express a functional protein and reverse the disease […]

The use of plant growth promotion microbial extracts containing various metabolites is a promising technique to improve crop growth and combat various stress conditions. Very little is known about the effect of bacterial cell-free extracts on plant growth promotion and salt stress mitigation. The project aims to: (i) Optimization of growth media and parameters to […]

Point dendrometers are indispensable for monitoring tree growth and detecting stress in forest ecosystems, offering detailed insights into cambial activity and environmental responses. The project’s goal is to harness machine learning to address data gaps and enhance the precision of trend detection in dendrometer data. This approach will also seek to identify signals of ecosystem […]

The conventional approach of applying agro-chemicals uniformly to control pests in the potato field may not be the most efficient solution. The non-uniform distribution of pests and weeds necessitated site-specific management utilizing variable-rate and real-time spraying. To this end, a project is currently underway to implement of camera and detection pest algorithm as sensing system […]

The proposed research aims to use Machine Learning Methods to interpret data obtained during the Electrical Resistivity scans in the delineation of Fracking Sand deposits in Western Canada. Traditional exploration for sand deposits involves pricey and not always efficient auger and sonic drilling on the entire investigated Property. Currently, costs associated with those operations are […]
