test it is difficult to get a correct diagnosis of lung disease, and most importantly to get started on the right treatments. In this study we will 1) describe the quality of breathing tests done in the community; and 2) compare review and interpretation of breathing tests by a doctor to an artificial intelligence algorithm […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

In many parts of the Great Lakes, including southeastern Lake Huron, coastal bluffs are eroding. This poses a significant threat to homes, infrastructure, and the region’s tourism industry. To reduce damage to infrastructure, local conservation authorities create development setbacks to try to prevent new structures from being built in harms way. However, these setbacks are […]

the context of emerging technologies, this project aims to develop a practical management tool that can help technology firms to fully assess new technology value proposition, formulate the risks & opportunities profile, and develop implementation plan.

The sixth-generation (6G) wireless communication networks promise transformative advancements in various sectors by enhancing speed, reliability, and connectivity to support applications like autonomous vehicles, smart healthcare, immersive augmented reality (AR), and the Internet of Everything (IoE). Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) technologies are pivotal in 6G, enabling advanced applications through intelligent metasurfaces. The deployment of […]

Streptococcus suis is one of the most important causes of bacterial disease in post-weaned piglets. Affected animals suffer from meningitis (affected brain), endocarditis (affected heart), arthritis (affected joints) and septicemia (general infection). There are 35 serotypes of S. suis (same bacteria but different antigens). Some of these serotypes (such as serotype 2) can also affect […]

Le projet vise à améliorer un système de détection des anomalies dans des cellules de flottation, un procédé employé dans l’industrie minière. Actuellement, un détecteur d’anomalie développé par Jumine dans la cellule de flottation identifie des problèmes tels que la vitesse inappropriée de la mousse, son affaissement ou encore sa coalescence trop importante, mais ne […]

The Interior Designers Institute of British Columbia (IDIBC) plays a critical role in regulating the interior design profession in BC, ensuring that registered interior designers (RIDs) uphold a high standard of practice and ethical conduct. However, with over 800 registrants, the organization faces challenges in maintaining accurate, efficient, and up-to-date member services, particularly concerning the […]

The StFX X-Oceans Outreach participant will collaborate with Students on Ice Foundation on their Blue Future Pathways initiative. The goal is to promote ocean literacy through STEM to youth in rural communities and to work with pre-service teachers to encourage them to incorporate ocean-based material in their curriculum and future teachings. Expected benefits to the […]

This project focuses on improving the reliability of AI systems that generate answers using external databases, known as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. While these systems help reduce inaccuracies, it’s still hard for users to know how trustworthy or relevant the answers are. To address this, the intern will explore a new method that evaluates […]

Interest in mining deposits formed at deep-sea hydrothermal vents for minerals that are required for the transition to clean energy technologies has increased. However, animal communities at hydrothermal vents and the surrounding deep-sea have not been well characterized. Many of the animals at hydrothermal vent sites, such as deep-water corals and sponges, are indicators of […]

Axonal Networks and Concordia University are working together to develop low-power, high-throughput optical transceivers using linear drive techniques. This technique avoids extensive in-transceiver digital signal processing and clock/data recovery in favour of modest equalization, relying on the linearity of the channel and the equalization capabilities of the host chips at the ends of the optical […]
