The Flu annually causes hundreds of thousand peoples’ death and has brought an enormous loss in Canadian economy. SARS-CoV-2 has strictly reduced the global economic development, and also affected the regular traveling and daily life in Canada. As we know, the influenza and SARS-CoV-2 share the similar symptoms in many aspects. Developing a rapid and […]

La plupart des travaux actuels sur la détection des intrusions se concentre sur la détection et l’analyse des attaques. Peu de travaux ont été réalisés sur l’analyse du comportement des attaquants eux-mêmes. Ce type d’analyse, appelée attribution, est important car il permet de remonter à la source de l’attaque, caractériser l’intention et répondre adéquatement à […]

Current RFID tags process reveals that it is impossible to set the cost per tag to less than 5 cents. Similarly, area is a precious quantity. Much of the area in a tag is used by digital logic and capacitors. Merely adding more area is not a sustainable solution. This project will help the community […]

A successful computer application can easily have millions of users, but handling the network traffic generated by millions of users is not easy. The server system has to be well designed in order to properly process large, concurrent, and distributed data streams without affecting user experience. In addition, users do not generate data constantly, they […]

The waste generated in Rosenort and Lowe Farm communities is being unprofessionally disposed in disposal sites. The leachate produced from the waste is also being pumped into the surrounding grasslands and contaminate soil and groundwater. Hazardous waste and used oil are not properly stored, and there is a large volume of waste and mixed materials […]

Industries using fossil fuels as their energy source are contributing to global warming as the required energy for their processes is supplied by combusting fossil fuels. CO2, a greenhouse gas, is a products of combustion. Using electricity generated by hydropower as the heat source may eliminate CO2 emission. One of the commercially available electric heaters […]

Modern smartphone cameras commonly employ multi-image (or burst photography) for tasks related to image super-resolution and high-dynamic-range imaging. This project is focused on developing novel multi-image techniques that leverage the power of recently proposed neural implicit functions. Neural implicit functions (NIFs) are a new way to represent images not as a 2D grid of pixels […]

An oyster seed source is essential for regular operations in the oyster aquaculture industry. Currently, oyster seed production in Nova Scotia is minimal. Instead, seed is collected in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island and then sold to farmers in Nova Scotia. The threat of invasive species and disease exposes a serious vulnerability of Nova […]

L’objectif général de ce projet de recherche est d’étudier des approches statistiques et computationnelles pour permettre l’analyse automatique des données structurées et non-structurées dans le contexte de décision péda-gogique et dans le cadre d’un outil tel que Reussito. Afin d’étudier la pertinence de ces approches, le projet se concentrera sur le développement des algorithmes d’analyse […]

The proposed internship project seeks to answer two questions for KMK Mi’kmaq Rights Initiative and Gardner Pinfold. First, what are the operational costs and fishery revenues of two communal lobster fisheries within Nova Scotia? Second, what are the possible avenues for internalizing fishery benefits locally in each of these fishing communities and how might they […]

The vestibular organs detect head movement and are involved in the coordination of standing balance. With balance problems being a common and expensive healthcare cost internationally, there is a growing need for new diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices that target vestibular balance function. In particular, a wearable device that could be used outside the clinic […]

Video Lottery Terminals (VLT) are common gaming machines for money usually found in various venues. These machines are anonymous and stateless and do not record any information about player’s identity. The data obtained from these machines is very complex and hard to analyse. The gaming industry is keen to understand how a game or a […]
