Bovine production uses a combination of Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ARTs) to improve yield and reduce generation time. In bovine production and in clinical settings, ARTs are associated with elevated rates of developmental disorders in offspring, leading to animal distress, high costs and delayed results. These include Large Offspring Syndrome (LOS) and musculoskeletal anomalies, reported to […]

Estuaries are crucial stopover areas for juvenile salmon during outmigration and especially for Chinook salmon who can reside in this habitat for over a month. Many populations of Chinook salmon from the Pacific Northwest are threatened and endangered making conservation important for this species. Currently, managers are investing significant public funds in estuary restoration and […]

The proposed research aims to develop machine vision-based decision support system for variable crop management. This research will deploy the deep learning models for plant/weed detection, plant growth indicators and soil organic matter assessment. The information retrieved from these models will be used to devise variable rate management map to optimize the consumption of agrochemical […]

Peatlands are freshwater wetlands which, in their natural (pristine) state, provide a specific habitat for many species of flora and fauna and several ecosystem services useful to human populations, such as the sequestration of carbon in accumulated peat (peatlands are a major global carbon sink). However, like many other wetlands, they are often disturbed and […]

We are at the era of precision medicine and dentistry; however, currently the leading-edge technologies used for adaptive milling control and modeling of CNC milling have not entered the micro-scale milling applications in the dental industry. The overall objective of this MITACS project is to utilize an Industry 4.0 based approach to explore characterization parameters […]

Seneca and Trinetra are collaborating to develop a Human Resources (HR) Expert System—a self-service, Artificial Intelligence (AI)–powered application capable of responding to queries or questions from hospital staff by extracting the right answer from relevant sources: collective bargaining agreement, policies, etc., which will be piloted at Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH). This System will provide an […]

The intern is expected to work on devising novel, research-based solutions to model traits (e.g., naturalness, confidence, engagement, humor, etc.) from video recordings of non-cognitive, performance-based tasks. Specifically, we are working toward an intelligent combination of multimodal (video, speech, text) data to create an enriched model for predicting human traits in human-computer interactions. The intern […]

It has become clear during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic that the standard opaque medical masks pose a challenge for effective communication in healthcare settings, especially for deaf and hard of hearing people and other individuals who rely on visual cues or lip/speech reading. To address this challenge, this research project aims to develop a transparent single-use […]

A collaboration with Acadia University, DFO and CARP proposes two interns assess the recolonization of COSEWIC listed Striped Bass and Atlantic Sturgeon to the Annapolis River Estuary. Research will focus on critical knowledge gaps regarding the habitat occupancy and migration of both species and train interns on current fisheries techniques. The goal is to monitor […]

Les puces microfluidiques ont montré beaucoup de potentiel pour la culture d’échantillons de tumeurs à l’extérieur du corps (ex vivo). En conservant la viabilité des tumeurs jusqu’à 15 jours, elles ouvrent la voie vers des tests prédictifs de la réponse des patients au traitement avant même leur prescription. Toutefois, pour que la technologie soit commercialisable, […]

To support next generation learning, classroom assessment innovations are needed to promote next generation classroom practices and to signal what sociocultural perspectives we value in learning. The summer intern project will focus on applying socioculturally responsive assessment practices to analyze, critique, and refine example assessment prototypes and develop pedagogical strategies to support science learning and […]

Le stockage de l’énergie électrique est un problème technologique incontournable et de grande importance pour le développement de l’économie ainsi que pour assurer l’indépendance énergétique de notre société. L’usage à grande échelle de sources d’énergie renouvelables, souvent intermittentes, ainsi que le développement d’un parc automobile électrifié requièrent des technologies de stockage énergétique de haute capacité […]
