The primary role of the lubrication system of aero-engines is to remove the excess heat generated by the movement of the bearings, gears and shafts. An aircraft engine has bearing chambers to contain the oil used for lubrication and excess heat removal. Inefficient scavenging of the oil out of the bearing chamber can result in […]

Mussels are ectothermic organisms, and consequently, their performance, growth, and survival are strongly linked to their thermal environment. As mussels are commercially important species in Norway, understanding how they will respond physiologically and behaviourally to elevated temperatures is ecologically and economically important. This project was therefore designed to address two main objectives: (1) Investigate the […]

This project looks at the drivers, impact and actor-groups that lead to successful Social Innovations. Social Innovation has prominence in both the public and private sectors, as a way to reform societal relations and create system level change, in the structure of relationships with the goal of empowering community actors to lead the development of […]

The successful agronomic strategy relies on nutrient detection and estimation. Adequate management of nutrients is an important concern for the whole growth period of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivation. In this work, we try to analyze the situation of potential harmful elements for potato production such as Aluminium (Al) and Manganese (Mn) in soil and […]

Influenza viruses circulate widely in human populations and cause seasonal respiratory infections. However, the true reservoir host for influenza viruses are birds, and periodic spillover events from birds to livestock and humans can introduce new influenza viruses with pandemic potential into the human population; the most recent example was the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. We seek […]

Through this Mitacs initiative, the Sobey School of Business, Saint Mary’s University, and OEA Technologies, Inc., will cooperatively research and develop online and social media tools that facilitate delivery of professional environmental services in developing countries. OEA Technologies’ specific interests are climate-change related oceanographic services and small-island developing states. “Innovation and diversification are not optional […]

Lipid-made nanoparticles are small delivery vehicles that can encapsulate therapeutics like mRNA and drugs. These tiny containers help to protect therapies until they are delivered into cells where they have better effects. A huge portion of the worldwide population have them in their bodies, thanks to mRNA COVID19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna. A lot […]

As brain computer interface (BCI) is an emerging technology, this project attempts to understand the functionality of this technology from the user’s perspective. To achieve this goal, a BCI-based application is developed, and users’ ideas are collected from pre- and post-experience surveys. The previous study dealt with functionality of BCI in technical level and this […]

Since the internet boom, cybersecurity has become a major concern every year governments and tech companies are investing a lot to make sure they are not prey of cybersecurity issues. There are various types of threats that are related to cyber security such as: social engineering, malware, ransomware, cloud computing issues to name a few. […]

By working with NSCC, AAMS will be able to enhance their operations by building a data base for member information and tracking and allow us to better serve our local indigenous community. This database will protect sensitive information and help modernize our association to the 21st century.

Digital commerce platforms these days collect trillions of data points of their customers and users, which are stored in database tables for a limited period. In Canada itself, there are 27 million eCommerce users that accounting to 75% of the Canadian population (International Trade Administration, 2022) Hackers constantly attempt to isolate and target vulnerabilities not […]

The proposed project on cooperative multi-robot systems addresses one of the recognized major challenges and opportunities in collaborative robotics (Cobots). For multi-robot groups, optimizing transportation efficiency for the workpiece while at the same time achieving whole-body obstacle avoidance in a cluttered manufacturing environment is highly involved due to the physical coupling of the system between […]
