This project focuses on developing a natural ingredient from fruit waste to be used in an agricultural product called a biostimulant, which helps plants grow better. The intern(s) will first work on extracting this ingredient using a special process that ensures it has the right properties for the final product. Then, they will mix and […]

Wind turbine generator power output and consumer electricity demand vary independently from one another. This presents a difficult situation for electricity grid managers as they attempt to exactly match demand using wind turbines and conventional generators (e.g. hydro, fossil fuels). Accurate forecasting of wind turbine generator power enhances management of the electricity grid, allowing for […]

Jani-King is an international franchise system that has been operating in the Maritimes for more than 30 years. Over this period, marketing our product and services has been more complex with the addition of nontraditional marketing activities such as digital marketing. This project is designed to consider whether working with a skilled and qualified digital […]

There is a critical period during late gestation in humans and perinatally in atricial animals like rats and mice , during which the building blocks of energy homeostasis, including the hypothalamic regulation of food intake and energy balance become established. During this early postnatal period, neuronal dendritic and axonal elongation as well as pruning takes […]

Eskasoni Community Foodbank is working to address an issue that impacts many communities: food insecurity. While they’ve made great strides in helping people access food through programs like community meals, cooking classes, and a social supermarket, there’s a need to go further. Food insecurity is more than just a lack of food—it’s tied to people’s […]

Purpose and Background The “Ahead of the Game Youth Mentoring Organization” (AOTG) seeks to address the significant challenges faced by “side-lined” youth, including lack of direction, underdeveloped skills, financial literacy issues, and career preparation barriers. AOTG aims to empower youth (ages 12-29) through mentoring programs focused on leadership, emotional intelligence, and life transitions, especially for […]

Coastal ecosystems are exposed to threats such as urban development and land use change, which result in the creation of edges. However, there have been relatively few studies on the impact of edges on vegetation in heterogeneous coastal ecosystems. Our proposed project will focus on edge influence on herbivory in the understudied spatially heterogeneous coastal […]

Nova Robotics is designing a number of repair and service robots for the OSB (oriented strand board) industry. These robots are designed to operate in very high temperature environments and effect repairs to large industrial equipment. These robots are designed to weld, grind and drill in order to correct problems with steel press surfaces. We […]

Glace Bay Citizen’s Service League – Town House is working to address an issue that impacts many communities: food insecurity. While they’ve made great strides in helping people access food through programs like community meals, cooking classes, and a social supermarket, there’s a need to go further. Food insecurity is more than just a lack […]

Experimental development of novel sensor hardware for measuring ammonia in marine environments. This includes prototype development, preliminary testing and validation.

Spending time in natural environments and nature-based programming is associated with significant health benefits. These outcomes are particularly important for Indigenous youth, whose mental health and wellbeing continues to be a priority for healthcare in Nova Scotia (NS). There is a need for further research that includes NS youth perspectives and identifies their experiences, needs, […]

This research project will explore how advanced artificial intelligence technology, specifically large language models (LLMs), can improve the Mental Health Assessment Tool (MHAT) developed by Harrison Healthcare. MHAT is a secure online tool designed to help primary care doctors identify and diagnose mental health conditions based on structured questionnaires and clinical guidelines. The project will […]
