This project will combine graduate level research expertise with best-in-class managed detection and response security operations, to develop ‘collaborative intelligence’ oriented tooling, in order to support Security Operations Centre (SOC) personnel in rapidly assessing the threat potential of suspect command lines and similar text objects. From a recent analysis of SOC AI usage, it is […]

Anessa offers software solutions for different stages in the lifecycle of a biogas plant. Solutions include feasibility analysis, feedstock planning and optimization, and monitoring. This proposal focuses on improvements and advances in the areas of optimization and monitoring. As a biogas digester uses living bacteria to transform waste materials into gas and fertilizer, creating and […]

This project aims to characterize and standardize Relief Mx, a liquid designed for pain management. Relief Mx combines traditional Chinese medicine with modern pharmaceutical components as an alternative to steroid-based nerve block treatments. The formulation includes active ingredients extracted from four herbal medicines: Achyranthes bidentata, Scrophularia ningpoensis, Lonicera japonica (honeysuckle), and Dendrobium. This study will […]

Phosphorus-rich sludge generated from the chemical treatment of wastewater lagoons presents a significant challenge for municipalities without effective long-term sludge management strategies. This study explores the potential benefits of using composted phosphorus-rich chemical precipitated sludge as a soil amendment for agriculture. Sludge composted under controlled conditions and adequate bulking agents with the proper ratio to […]

Nova Scotia Health (NSH) is advancing healthcare by enhancing data management, optimizing decision-making, and improving patient care. This project addresses challenges such as administrative burdens, fragmented data systems, and limited predictive capabilities by implementing advanced data solutions for real-time insights, standardized data management, and predictive healthcare analytics. Through an agile, feedback-driven approach, these innovations will […]

This project aims to develop a bovine cell bank using Alberta beef to support the production of cultivated meat, a sustainable alternative to traditional meat farming. Instead of raising and slaughtering animals, cultivated meat is created by growing muscle and fat cells in a laboratory, providing real meat with a smaller environmental footprint. The research […]

The project aims to enhance energy efficiency of buildings by studying thermal break devices at the connection between balcony slabs and floor slab. The intern will design and build floor assembly incorporating the design with the help of the indutry partner. This assembly will be tested at Queen’s niversity to examine the strength and stability […]

This project is focused on reducing water pollution caused by phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) runoff from agricultural soils. Excessive nutrients entering water bodies can result in harmful algal blooms, negatively impacting ecosystems, especially in Areas of Concern near the Canadian Great Lakes. Building upon previous successful research, this study would like to continue for […]

This second cycle of oral history interviews will continue to preserve for posterity first-person perspectives of the careers and achievements of eminent Canadian engineers since the 1960s. Interviewees will be individuals who have made significant contribution to Canadian achievements in biological, civil, chemical, dam, geotechnical, mechanical, nuclear and tunnelling engineering fields. As much as possible, […]

This project investigates whether biocontrol microorganisms from Saskatchewan rhizosphere soils can effectively suppress Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) in wheat under field conditions, supporting their commercialization as sustainable biopesticides. FHB, caused mainly by Fusarium graminearum and F. culmorum, severely reduces wheat yields and contaminates grain with the mycotoxin DON. Current control measures face limitations due to […]

Les coûts d’un projet de construction sont souvent sous-estimés alors que les attentes dans la qualité sont élevées tout en demeurant avec des coûts raisonnables. L’estimation des coûts de construction d’un bâtiment est un processus complexe comportant plusieurs défis : 1) le manque d’information préliminaire ou un manque de détail sur les plans, 2) des […]

L’accès à du répit pour les personnes proches aidantes (PPA) est difficile puisqu’elles font face à diverses problématiques (liste d’attente, horaire peu flexible, distance géographique, etc.). L’organisation Entraidant veut offrir un service de répit atypique (qui n’a pas lieu sur une base régulière, en semaine) aux PPA à l’aide d’une plateforme informatique qui facilitera le […]
