Paramedics provide essential emergency care services for Canadians. However, in providing this service, paramedics are exposed to many highly demanding task and situations. Further, these high demands are often referred to when paramedics suffer pain, discomfort and even injury. While efforts are underway to lessen these demands where possible, due to the nature of paramedic […]

The intern will be working with Project Watershed to understand the use of the three sites along the Courtenay River by juvenile salmonids, and whether one site appears to be better used by the juvenile salmonids or not. This work will help inform the partner organization whether their previous salmon habitat restoration activities along the […]

We have developed a device that is rapid, sensitive and adaptable to performing multiple assays to detect chemicals, biologicals, non-biologicals, salts, metals and pathogens to mention a few. Activity involved in this project will model the behaviour of sensors to better understand the output sensitive to the analyte of interest and the sensor configurations. This […]

Literacy Nova Scotia (LNS), in collaboration with the Department of Information Science (DIS) at Dalhousie University, seeks to produce a hallmark report released every 2 years that will present a holistic picture of the state of literacy in Nova Scotia. Further, It will seek to develop a definition of literacy grounded in the Nova Scotian […]

Puisque les enjeux de santé mentale sont fréquents à la suite d’un accident vasculaire cérébral, l’organisme ARTÈRE, basé à Québec, cherche à intégrer des activités qui permettraient de soutenir le bien-être psychologique de ses membres. Ce projet vise à développer des ateliers pour promouvoir le bien-être psychologique. Quatre objectifs spécifiques seront?poursuivis: (1) identifier les enjeux […]

La ville de Bromont connait présentement des transformations géographiques découlant d’une forte croissance démographique issue de migrations interrégionales. Ces migrations de résidents provenant des milieux urbains se sont accrues depuis le début de la pandémie de la COVID-19. Certains urbains choisissent de s’établir à Bromont, notamment pour profiter des activités en milieu naturel de montagne. […]

This project explores new polymer cure methods using a combination of light and thermally sensitive catalysts for epoxy thermoset resins. These resins can be used for a number of applications, including as insulators in high voltage coils. The postdoc and MSc interns will identify simpler epoxy formulations that utilize specially tuned photoinitiators and thermal catalysts. […]

In software development, code reviewing is an essential code validation step during integration [1, 2]. When developers submit their code for review, human reviewers need to validate the changes made to source code and other artifacts (e.g., data files, artifacts created by artists). This review process can go through several iterations in which the reviewers […]

Lite-1 utilizes innovative technologies like synthetic biology and biofabrication in pursuit of a novel solution. Many bacteria naturally produce colourful, non-toxic pigments (Ahmad, et. Al, 2013). Through the lens of design, we identify and study organisms that produce the market’s desired colours. Lite-1 dyes reduce water pollution, are safe for workers as well as the […]

The transport sector is the second highest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Canada. The prevalence of car use in passenger transport, also referred to as “automobility”, is a key driver of GHG emissions and other societal issues. Transport innovations can reduce emissions – for example, plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are an essential component […]

This research addresses the vibration performance of mass timber floors, which is crucial for their structural design and maximum allowable span. As mass timber construction is relatively new, there is a lack of specific design guidance, especially for floors with beam supports and concrete toppings. Our goal is to assess the vibration serviceability of a […]

This project aims to identify the effects of human activities, particularly logging and mineral exploration, on mammals that live in the Tsay Keh Dene (TKD) Nation Territory. We plan to use a method called environmental DNA (eDNA), which involves detecting genetic material from animals in the environment, to understand how much logging and at what […]
