While at the University of Bath, the project that I will be working on focuses on the development of an all-in-one electrochemical Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) management system. The goal of this project is to develop a device that is capable of actively counting Helper T cells in the human body. Since HIV infects and […]

Howell ventures, located in Fredericton, is a leading company in North America for designing and producing driving aids. Driving aids, such as “remote spinner knobs” enable individuals who have physical limitations (due to structural, traumatic, or pathological reasons) who want to maintain their independence by driving their vehicles. The purpose of the study is to […]

Non-invasive breath analysis has substantial potential for monitoring of a wide range of medical conditions and observation of overall health status. Breath testing is easy and painless; it can be done quickly and inexpensively, and can be repeated as often as needed, making it an attractive approach for screening or clinical diagnosis. In this work, […]

Dans les domaines de la fabrication industrielle, la tendance est au remplacement progressif des matériaux classiques (plastique, acier, aluminium, etc.) par des matériaux composites ou polymères renforcés de fibres (PRF) à cause de leur excellente résistance, poids léger, faible densité, excellent module d’élasticité et forte résistance à la corrosion. Aujourd’hui, pour la fabrication de matériaux […]

Creating a non-person character (NPC) to play a game is becoming increasingly important. NPCs can be used in quality assurance to test a game before sending the game for certification. Being able to test a game in a way that mimics a human player would allow the test to be more accurate and would help […]

In an atmosphere of dwindling research funding availability, making sure that the limited money is wisely invested is of critical importance. In our study, we propose to investigate how applied research has been funded in NB over the last decade, and how this funding has impacted economic growths. This study will attempt to make a […]

Face à la quatrième révolution industrielle et à une concurrence à l’échelle mondiale, l’industrie canadienne affronte des défis de taille pour augmenter sa productivité, améliorer la qualité de ses produits et réduire ses coûts. Imperial Manufacturing Group comme plusieurs entreprises du Nouveau-Brunswick, souhaite innover dans ses processus de fabrication pour être plus compétitif et productif […]

Salt marshes provide many services including nursery habitat for birds and fish, nutrient export to sun’ounding coastal areas, and sheltering coasts from sea level rise and storm activity. In Atlantic Canada, there is strong interest in salt marsh restoration. A study was instigated by Ducks Unlimited Canada in 20 lOin the Bay of Fundy to […]

Most of the medicines available today are either purified from plants or derived from compounds produced by plants. The Cannabis (marijuana) plant in particular produces an enormous variety of molecules that have valuable pharmaceutical potential – in addition to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the primary psychoactive molecule in the pant, the cannabis plant produces dozens […]

The Greater Saint John area struggles. Too many people are leaving, not enough people are moving in. If this continues, governments will have great trouble. It will be hard to pay for road repairs, keeping schools open and so on. Likewise, employers already struggle to find people for the positions that do open up. Locals […]

Les milieux humides jouent des rôles très importants dans notre environnement par le biais de multiples services écosystémiques qu’ils offrent. Par exemple dans un bassin versant, ils servent de réservoirs tampons contre les inondations en aval; ils purifient l’eau de la nappe phréatique et des ruisseaux en servant de lieux de dépôt et d’extraction des […]

Stocking remains an important component of managing and conserving Atlantic Salmon populations, but it also has the potential to cause negative effects to wild populations. To understand the cause of these effects and the potential consequences of using a smolt-to-adult supplementation approach we will use cutting edge technology to investigate epigenetic changes in captive reared […]
