When introduced to a region, non-native invasive species often have negative consequences for native plants, animals, and humans. When introduced to North America, the invasive zebra and quagga mussels altered the structure and function of native aquatic ecosystems. This caused ecological and economic damage by reducing biodiversity and human uses of local surface waters, respectively. […]

For many whales, we still know little of where they occur and even what species exist. This is true for an elusive group of whales known as beaked whales. One method to study these deep-diving, offshore animals is acoustic recordings. Each beaked whale species is thought to produce a unique sound, called a click. Many […]

L’objectif principal du projet est de détecter par IA différents objets clés du réseaux ferrés. Étape n°1 : prétraitement de la donnée Les images utilisées ont une résolution de 5 cm (Go de données). Il sera donc nécessaire de les découper le long des chemins de fer pour faciliter le traitement. Vu que différentes résolutions […]

De récents changements d’orientation dans la recherche et le développement de la robotique ont conduit au développement de robots collaboratifs sûrs et intuitifs. Pourtant, ces robots sont généralement confinés aux tâches d’automatisation traditionnelles et travaillent en mode non collaboratif. Ce projet de recherche vise à étendre les capacités des robots collaboratifs au-delà des applications d’automatisation […]

This study is focusing on using real demand (number of passengers in each station) and historical weather data to find the best (optimal) location of charging station and their charging duration for a bus route that deploys battery electric buses. In addition, this study tries to find the best arrangement of using holding points for […]

The Child Abuse Services (CAS) at Alberta Health Services previously approached our research team to collaboratively address the lengthy waitlists for children seeking to receive trauma services. Accordingly, an online module was co-developed to provide caregivers with initial resources while their child is on the waitlist. The present research will involve using qualitative research methodology […]

This research project is focused on using AI technology called Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs) to generate results that are more human-like and of higher quality. The team will utilize a technique called “prompt engineering” to work with a leading PLM in the market, GPT-3, to enhance productivity in reading and writing tasks for salespeople. By […]

Barriers to ensuring robust community participation, culturally appropriate outreach and relationship development, and a holistic, sensitive, and suitable path forward appear when the organisation moves forward with its mission. The goal of this project is to build on previous work completed by a prior intern and help further develop strategies for engagement in the North.

La Commission des services régionaux Nord-Ouest (CSRNO) va implanter un programme Mangez frais/ Eat Fresh dans la grande région de Grand-Sault jusqu’à la grande région d’Edmundston et les environs. Ce programme consistera a offrir des sacs de des fruits et légumes frais peu dispendieux.

With the number of eating disorders rising during the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, Body Brave launched the Recovery Support Program as an online platform for individuals (ages 17 and up) experiencing eating disorder symptoms to access support. In this program, clients are offered check-ins, recovery sessions, and resources using a stepped-care model. In addition to […]
