Optimizing bioinks for 3D bioprinting of cardiac tissue

In this research project, scientists aim to develop a new method for repairing damaged heart tissue caused by cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). They will use a technique called 3D bioprinting to create functional cardiac tissue using human stem cells. The researchers will develop a special ink that can be used to print the stem cells in […]

Integrating attentional shifts to improve stereo vision in robot navigation

Artificial 3D vision is computationally intensive. It takes an impractically long time for a robot to analyze a video frame in order to accurately estimate the locations of nearby obstacles. This project will develop new techniques for selecting only the most important regions of each video frame to analyze at each moment, so that a […]

Systèmes microfluidiques sans perfusion fabriquables en masse pour l’oncologie 3D – phase 2 : thermoplastiques

L’amélioration de la vie des patients atteints de cancer passe par une meilleure thérapie et un suivi clinique personnalisé. Pour atteindre cet objectif, notre groupe a co-développé un nouveau modèle de cancer en 3D à partir d’explants de tissus miniatures d’animaux ou d’humains appelés “tissus micro-miniature qui préserve la viabilité des tissus grâce à un […]

Blue Roof Performance and Scalability as a Tool of Green Infrastructure

This project seeks to address new stormwater management and flood control measures by proposing a smart blue roof at Credit Valley Conservation’s (CVC) main office building. The blue roof system will temporarily capture rainwater using the roof as a storage reservoir and then allow the water to evaporate and/or to be used for non-potable requirements […]

Improving Anti Money Laundering through Active learning Methods

Fighting against financial crime is a battle that humanity is losing as a whole. Money Laundering is the critical component of any criminal activity that needs to be profitable. Therefore, fighting money laundering is fighting against all crimes including terrorism, human trafficking, drugs and wildlife trafficking. The United Nations (UN) estimates 2 trillion USD is […]

Development of context-aware data analysis framework

In a complex environment like mineral extraction, it is difficult to back the cause-effect relationship between a specific process variable and the overall performance (output, cost, GHG emission) with scientific principles. Consequently, process data is used to deduce an empirical correlation between the process variables and their estimated effects. In the present project, process data […]

Exploring methods of intelligent development of P&IDs and generation of HAZOP notes

Safety is one of the greatest concerns during projects lifecycles, due to the potential risks and hazards inherent in their activities. To reach an acceptable level of safety in projects and guarantee a hazard-free work environment, some structured approaches should be applied. In this respect, Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) analysis is a systematic process for […]

Examining the Impact of COVID-19 on Mental Health and Access to Care in Nova Scotia: Addressing Health Disparities and Promoting Equity in Mental Health and Addiction Services

This research project aims to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health and addiction care utilization in Nova Scotia. Mental health challenges have increased during the pandemic, affecting individuals’ well-being due to factors such as social isolation, economic strain, and heightened stress. Our study will analyze data on outpatient physician visits, community-based […]

Using individual traits to enhance predictions of mind wandering

Mind wandering refers to when attention shifts away from the task at hand towards unrelated thoughts, which can interfere with learning. Researchers have identified various signs of mind wandering, such as changes in eye movements, heart rate, and brain activity. These signs can then be utilized to train computer models that predict when mind wandering […]
