This research project will contribute to the literature on Canada’s criminal justice system by using de-identified race-based data from Nova Scotia’s Department of Justice to understand Black people’s experiences in the province’s correctional facilities. It addresses two main problems: Gaps in knowledge about Black people’s experiences in provincial correctional facilities, and the need to improve […]

Net Zero Atlantic is a non-profit organization, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, that is seeking to advance a sustainable and inclusive transition to a carbon-neutral Atlantic Canada through the provision of credible and objective data and support services. In service of this objective, Net Zero Atlantic leads applied research projects designed to help inform Atlantic […]

This project aims to reduce particulate emissions below 2.5 g/h from wood furnaces to comply with EPA and CSA standards. We will develop an innovative adsorbent column to capture particulate emissions. We will investigate the effects of different adsorbents and their blending ratios on capturing particulate emissions.

The management of musculoskeletal diseases is essential for reducing pain and disability, preventing disease progression, maintaining independence, and promoting mental well-being. By effectively managing these conditions and facilitating individualized therapy approaches, society as a whole will benefit from reduced healthcare costs and improved economic productivity. Early detection and proactive care are vital for the management […]

As an advanced form of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), supply chain liability extends companies’ responsibilities along the Global Value Chain (GVC). Thus, top brands (the primary entities in the GVC) can be held accountable for the conduct of their suppliers (secondary contractors). For labour issues, Supply Chain Responsibility has the potential to center and enforce […]

This project will help Oncolinc Therapeutics, a cancer therapeutics company, build a clear strategy for bringing a new type of cancer treatment to market. Oncolinc Therapeutics is developing therapies that target long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are molecules that help some tumours hide from the immune system and resist current immunotherapies. Oncolinc needs guidance on […]

Globally approximately 13.4 million babies are born too early or preterm each year. Many people born preterm, have lung disease causing breathing difficulties, that progresses throughout their lives. This prematurity-associated lung disease is complex and can look very different from person to person, making it harder to diagnose and treat. Some individuals show characteristics that […]

Aquaculture needs scalable, noninvasive tools that can see what farmers miss. This project will build an AI system that recognizes individual Nile tilapia and flags behavior shifts signaling stress or disease. Using YOLO for fast detection and a key-point model for anatomical landmarks, we will extract precise coordinates for the snout, operculum, fin bases, and […]

Rock slopes and underground excavations are important aspects of mining, civil engineering and energy projects. The shear strength, or resistance to sliding, of rock joints (e.g., cracks and fractures) is the dominant component for stability of underground excavations and large rock slopes. Laboratory testing of these features is challenging, expensive and difficult to interpret. Emerging […]
