Fish are an important food source; however, the sustainability of current seafood supplies is a major concern for key stakeholders. The development of plant-based seafood is an underexplored path that could alleviate some of the pressures on aquatic ecosystems. Although, flavour is an important attribute that determines the acceptability of alternative seafood products, emulating the […]

Marine biofouling, which is the growth of organisms on ocean infrastructure, is a widespread problem with substantial economic and environmental costs. This project undertaken by the intern will develop dynamic tests of a novel graphene-based antifouling coating designed by Graphite Innovation & Technologies (GIT). The dynamic tests involve generating water flow over the coating surface, […]

In recent years ·complex deep neural networks have achieved outstanding performance on challenging tasks such as language models, classifiers and machine translation but they have remained as a mystery for the users. Due to their hidden and difficult to comprehend internal structure, as well as to their sheer size, they are often referred to as […]

Amputations of the upper limb are devastating injuries which can significantly affect the capability of performing daily living, working and social activities. The current challenges of prosthetic solutions exist due to the lack of modular design, comfort, immediate response to user intention, interfaces and tactile feedback. The long-term objective of Awenza Health is aiming at […]

Atlantic Assisted Reproduction Therapies (AART) is the primary facility located in the Atlantic Provinces capable of assisting reproductively challenged couples. Fertility Pharmacy Services(FPS) is an onsite subsidiary of AART. AART offers a wide range of services, however, AART currently does not have the capacity to assist individuals who require preimplantation genetic testing. Clients who require […]

The interns and academic advisor will assist the partner organization (Pombcoup Technologies) to design, develop and test in-water on trawling vessels, a bottom trawling net that, unlike traditional nets, does not touch the seabed and thus avoids the usual extensive seabed damage and disruption. Consequently, the drag force loading of this bottom trawling net will […]

PLAEX is looking to create more use case examples and demonstrations of PLAEX products in order to attract and secure product pre-orders and potential commercial partners/investment. PLAEX will also seek to create an in-house CAD system to streamline ordering for our customers, with potential for features that may include customizable orders, input-based project visualizers, and […]

This research project involves the evaluation of a leadership program entitled “Contagious Resilient Leadership” for long-term continuing care and home care workers. Leadership training has been identified as extremely important in the continuing care sector, but has continued to be overlooked. The goal of these workshops is to get continuing and home care workers working […]

Inflammation of the brain is a symptom of many different types of brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, depression, stroke, and traumatic brain injury. If left untreated, the inflammation can become a chronic problem that causes further damage to the brain. Different types of cannabinoids are a promising source of potential treatments to […]

The project will build a business case to evaluate and develop an innovative Intelligent Offshore Trawling (IoT) Net. This net will transform bottom trawling processes by having the net just above the seabed. This means the seabed is not violently disrupted and that the operations of the trawling vessels are more efficient through a greatly […]

The onset of symptoms in Alzheimer’s Disease, Picks disease, progressive supranuclear palsy and cortical basal degeneration are connected to the formation of insoluble deposits of the tau protein in the brain, also known as neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). The Treventis Corporation has developed new chemicals that are designed to prevent the formation of NFT, which may […]

Virtual agents based on artificial intelligence have become increasingly popular on social media. Examples of Lil Miquela or Shudu Gram show how completely artificial agents can have a significant influence on our social lives, and especially social media marketing. However, it stands to question how these virtual influencers are actually perceived by consumers, whether they […]
