This proposal describes a multidisciplinary approach to optimize the separation of peptides from an enzyme digest of filleting waste (frames) recovered from farm-raised Atlantic salmon. Our work has demonstrated that a particular salmon peptide fraction has the ability to reverse the effects of type 2 diabetes in rodent feeding trials and model system (tissue culture) […]

Acoustic Bait Technologies (ABT) is a start-up company located in Morristown, Nova Scotia. They are developing an alternative bait system for the lobster fishery, with the goal of helping the industry switch to more sustainable bait use. They are pursuing the use of recorded acoustic lobster sounds to modify the behaviour of lobsters to attract […]

The current research project aims to investigate internal communication among organizations in the IT industry and whether communication experiences are different among minorities and women in the organizations. A diverse workplace is important to facilitate an inclusive, productive, and healthy workplace. However, no study has looked at how communication to women and diverse employees may […]

The number of structural assessment and evaluation projects in Canada is growing due to the aging of the existing infrastructure and the need for extending the service life of critical structures. Current practice utilizes simplified, rather conservative methods of assessment that do not typically yield optimized decisions regarding the safety condition of the existing structure […]

Sprint kayak is a water sport where athletes propel themselves forward using blades on either end of their paddle, with the goal of completing the distance in the shortest amount of time. Along with high volumes of on-water training, athletes often use weight training to increase their paddle force production. Strength and conditioning coaches use […]

Laying hens need a reliable source of protein and energy for egg production and maintenance that does not induce fatty liver disease (FLD). As egg production moves in the direction of group housing scenarios, more management techniques, including nutritional management, that reduce losses due to feather pecking and cannibalism will also be required. Hemp has […]

Thermally insulated systems (pipeline, process piping and process equipment) in the hydrocarbon industry require frequent assessment using various non-destructive examination. To access the surface underneath thermal insulations, inspection ports are widely used which have advantages of facilitating the high confidence data. The downside of inspection ports is when these allow moisture seepage which causes corrosion […]

The primary objective of this internship is to design an impact management system for aerospace innovation teams (four different sizes of solar-powered airships) to track their objectives against results measured in terms of impact. Each aerospace innovation team defines its mission in terms of performance results measured in engineering terms. The intern’s job will be […]

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is seeing continued industrial uptake, with the aerospace sector representing one of the early adopters and largest growth areas. The design freedom offered by AM is being leveraged to develop advanced heat exchangers with highly complex internal features. This project will focus on laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) of AlSi10Mg, with emphasis […]

Psychological safety has been consistently linked to positive workplace outcomes, including increased team learning and task performance (Edmondson, 1999; Newman et al., 2017). Previous research focusing on the development of psychological safety has identified several of its antecedents (Frazier et al., 2017). For instance, leaders have been found to play a critical role in shaping […]

Shannex wishes to maximize use of its various data sources to generate key insights for health care teams when it comes to care planning/ general care of residents. What is missing from Shannex’s existing resources is a professional who is capable of identifying, and executing on, various statistical/mathematical manipulations to generate/ automate these meaningful insights. […]

Traditionally commercial poultry is incubated and hatched in the dark. There are indications that significant benefits could be realized from providing light to developing chicken embryos during incubation. These indications include chicks that eat and drink more upon arrival at the farm. This early feeding behavior should improve the health and survival of baby chicks […]
