Development of a Strategy for the Improvement of the Wireless UnderGround-to-AboveGround Connectivity Probability Using the Non-Licensed UHF-Band Localization and Telemetry Systems in Harsh Environments

Two IoUT localization and telemetry sensors with RF antennas and power amplifiers at 915 MHz are achieved. The two sensors were measured in the research laboratory showing a reasonable agreement with the simulation results. However, the two sensors were not measured onsite yet. Therefore, the performance of the two IoUT localization and telemetry sensors is […]

Improving stream tracer gauging techniques

Stream discharge, a measurement of the volume of water passing a location along a stream, is an essential variable in many engineering and scientific projects. Discharge can be measured by injecting tracer material (such as common table salt or coloured dyes) into a stream and observing how the material mixes in the stream channel. For […]

Enhanced Assessment of hormonal SensitivitY in trauma CARE (EASY CARE study)

Trauma often leaves lasting effects on mental health, increasing the risk of PTSD, depression, and anxiety. These challenges can worsen during hormonal shifts like menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause. Some women may have a heightened sensitivity to these changes that could amplify symptoms, while poor sleep, including insomnia and disrupted sleeping patterns, further complicate recovery. Despite […]

Aircraft Conflict Prediction using Machine Learning

The project entails exploring the use of Machine Learning (ML) techniques to assist in the training of air traffic controllers. The core goal is to train models that help predict if an instruction given by an air traffic controller may put an aircraft at risk of colliding with another aircraft during landing procedures.

Mobilizing the health benefits of being in nature through community-based participatory research and Indigenous youth engagement

Spending time in natural environments and nature-based programming is associated with significant health benefits. These outcomes are particularly important for Indigenous youth, whose mental health and wellbeing continues to be a priority for healthcare in Nova Scotia (NS). There is a need for further research that includes NS youth perspectives and identifies their experiences, needs, […]

Towards a Theory of Blockchain as a Socio-Informational-Technical System: Perceptions and challenges of adopting verifiable credentials in the public sector.

Blockchain technology and VCs, in principle, can enhance the security, privacy, efficiency, and trustworthiness of the digital exchange of credentials. However, several challenges hinder the adoption of VCs and blockchain, including resistance from the public and some authorities driven by a lack of understanding of the technologies and political motives. There is a limited empirical […]

Investigation of thermal losses of various configurations of wet and Dry thermally insulated systems and with and without deployment of novel Mica Spacer system

In many industries, particularly those using steam to heat or move heavy oil, keeping pipes and equipment as hot as possible is very important. When heat escapes, it lowers the efficiency of the operation, raises costs, and increases the carbon footprint. Insulation is supposed to keep heat inside, but it does not always work well […]
