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 […]

Axtion Independence Mobility Inc. was founded in January 2020. We design devices to help people age in place safely and with dignity. Our first patent pending device helps prevent falls, and in the unfortunate event a fall occurs, helps the person return to a sitting or standing position independently or with minimal assistance. One in […]

Taking a restorative approach to sport reimagines how we can respond to the crisis of maltreatment in sport and athletes experiencing harm. This project will be an extension of restorative justice work on going in Nova Scotia which sees justice as concerned with securing and sustaining just relations. A restorative approach to justice supports responses […]

Steroid drugs and creatine are treatments for muscle weakness in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Steroid drugs can also cause problems like weakening mitochondria which are the energy producing parts of muscle cells. Duchenne also makes it harder for mitochondria to use creatine for energy. This means that both treatments may not be doing the […]

In collaboration with Acadia University and Nova Scotia Power, Innovasea inc. proposes an intern to determine route choice, and measure survival of Atlantic salmon smolt as they descend the Gaspereau River past the White Rock Hydropower Generating Station. This project will be completed in full collaboration with Fisheries and Oceans Canada Scientists. The results will […]
