Eleven million people are living with diabetes or prediabetes in Canada. As many as 15% of people with diabetes develop a foot ulcer, usually due to neuropathy, a lack of pain feedback, which would otherwise allow a person to recognize areas of high pressure or friction on the foot. These foot ulcers can develop infections, […]

This project aims to understand plant-pollinator relationships and species diversity in Corner Brook Pulp and Paper (Kruger) managed forests; and determine how these relationships may change under continued climate warming.

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become a widely used machine learning tool in many different and broad fields of application. ANNs may be trained from training examples to perform various prediction or classification tasks. However, one of the problems exhibited by ANNs is that they typically overlearn the training examples and perform poorly on new […]

Gene therapies have the potential to help many patients with currently untreatable, severe, and life-threatening diseases. A certain type of gene therapy may even provide a cure for patients with genetic diseases. A key component of these gene therapies often is RNA. However, we are still lacking a good understanding of how RNA should ideally […]

Engineering organisations like Thales rely on large quantities of technical knowledge. When resolving a technical problem, for example, users have to follow a multi-step procedure in which the steps are described with various levels of detail, may not be up to date, or may not target the exact problem they are facing. Recent progress in […]

Invasive species are one of the major threats to biodiversity in Canada and globally. It can be challenging to identify where and under which circumstances landscapes will be most susceptible versus resistant to invasive species, and not having this information can hamper conservation efforts. The objective of this Master’s project is to model and map […]

This grant application, aims to develop an efficient and accurate project management analysis platform based on active and few-shot learning techniques. The main objective of our platform is to provide advanced insights and predictions related to project activities, teams, and budgets, using recent advancements in natural language processing (NLP), active and few-shot learning technologies. By […]

Cumberland County is located in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, close to the New Brunswick border. Cumberland County is made up of the Municipality of the County of Cumberland, two incorporated towns (Amherst and Oxford) and two Villages (Pugwash and River Hebert). According to Statistics Canada (2022) the population of Cumberland County, as of […]

Dans un contexte financier et budgétaire où les fédérations sportives sont appelées à développer davantage leurs revenues autonomes, l’exploitation d’un actif intangible telle que la marque peut constituer une action stratégique décisive pour ces dernières. Toutefois, le secteur des OBNL sportives, au sein duquel les fédérations peuvent être incluses, a historiquement été négligé quant au […]

Mon projet de thèse est relatif à la mise en œuvre des politiques d’équité, de diversité et d’inclusion dans l’enseignement supérieur. La persistance de barrières systémiques limitant l’accès de certains groupes sociaux à l’enseignement supérieur et à certaines catégories d’emploi, m’a amenée à m’intéresser aux mécanismes explicatifs de ces iniquités malgré la mise en place […]

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) vibrometry is a noninvasive tool for functional imaging of the middle ear. It provides vibrational responses and also anatomical images of the same ear. Our objective here was to explore the potential of OCT vibration measurements of the middle ear structures, to distinguish among middle-ear disorders. Our approach was to build […]

This project aims to address the current gaps in the literature by focusing on the social and cultural dimensions of integration for racialized newcomers in rural communities in Alberta. This qualitative study will conduct one-on-one interviews with newcomers in 2 rural communities in Alberta. The intern will work with local community-based organizations to help identify […]
