The proposed research is to develop a method for making valid, representative estimates of public opinion from sufficiently large and diverse non-probability samples such as social media data. We aim to demonstrate the theoretical, methodological, and practical contributions to the field of public opinion research by demonstrating the reliability and utility of this method in […]

The proposed research focuses on examining the influence of regional climate variability and extreme weather events on the population and habitats of Piping Plovers in Prince Edward Island (PEI). Correlation matrices between records of population parameters and regional climate conditions will be generated and correlated variables will be tested for significance using t-tests. A passive […]

Annual reports are an important means of communication for publicly traded companies. They provide information about the firm’s activities and operations over the past year and forecasts about the future. Although digital versions are easy to obtain, there is a lack of technology available to prepare these reports for analysis. We propose to develop a […]

This internship will help revitalize the concept of “coliving” in the post-COVID context of Montréal city, from the perspective of an architecture student. Given that the crisis of housing shortage is on the rise, coliving is an environment-friendly alternative for young entrepreneurs on the move. Using the power of digital journalism for community engagement, this […]

Advances in semiconductor technology allow the increase of the efficiency and the power density of power converters using high switching frequency converters (HSFC). The integration of such energy conversion systems is continuously growing and in high demand for applications such as electric vehicle battery chargers, more electric aircrafts, and distributed energy resources. However, the real-time […]

In warm climates warm temperatures cause thermal stratification in hydropower reservoirs inhibiting mixing and leading to deoxygenation of waters at depth (hypolimnium). Turbines withdrawing water at depth result in low dissolved oxygen (DO) in the downstream flow having a large negative impact on the downstream riverine ecosystem. Legislation in the USA and elsewhere now requires […]

This research will determine which combinations of metrics sets and machine learning algorithms provide the most accurate outcomes when analyzing the data produced in the CSE-IDC-IDS2018 dataset.

Food security is a major global concern and Canada’s current agricultural model is not adequately positioned to support our growing needs. Insects may solve this problem as they are nutritious and their production requires less resources than vertebrate protein sources. A primary goal of this project is to increase cricket yield. Together with Entomo Farms, […]

This project focuses on giving the commercial or industrial property (i.e. non-solar professional) owners and facilities managers the ability to accurately calculate the predicted output of a small to medium-size solar plant and compare that value to what it is producing. This comparison is helpful to the facilities manager as it gives a way to […]

Currently in Nova Scotia there is under-representation of diverse individuals employed in the automotive sector and a growing job vacancy rate. The Nova Scotia Automotive Sector Council seeks to understand the current employment and recruitment rates, barriers and opportunities for improvement in collaboration with our partner organizations from under-presented groups. In order to create inclusive […]

Les empilements de rejets miniers solides et de sol excavé doivent être végétalisés à la fin de la vie de la mine. La technique d’hydrosemis, qui consiste à pulvériser un mélange de graines et de fertilisant dans de l’eau, est souvent utilisée pour végétaliser les zones en pente. L’entreprise de végétalisation Irrigation NORCO veut optimiser […]
