The goal of the proposed research project is to design and develop an application called 3DCrowdGo that uses crowdsourcing to fill the COVID-19-induced gap in health professions simulation training via community-based 3D printing. Since COVID-19 has pushed simulation labs to be held virtually, learners are in need of affordable and portable simulators. 3DCrowdGo will connect […]

The worldwide urge to seek solutions for global warming and its negative environmental impacts, has driven the increased adoption of renewable energy resources and electric vehicles (EVs). This increase in the share of renewable energy generation and EV users has widened the implementation of distributed energy resources (DERs) systems and encouraged the move towards developing […]

The care and safety of Persons Living with Dementia (PLWD) within assisted living and other communal living models is extremely important. One key symptom of dementia is disorientation for time and/or place and this can lead to wandering behaviours for residents. Overnight in care homes, the limited is focused on required resident care cannot watch […]

Unlocking the energy potential of offshore basins is key to fully evaluate Canada’s ability to satisfy its future energy demand while respecting UN Sustainable Development Goal 7, Affordable and Clean Energy. In frontier basins, including offshore Nova Scotia, deep-water exploration entails various risks due to uncertain geological settings, thus requiring comprehensive prospect analyses and risk […]

An important legal task for which natural language processing has a use-case is for assessing the risk of confusion for trademarks. By means of a thorough understanding of factors which are used by legal professionals to make decisions in this domain, we replicate the process by using state-of-the-art deep learning models for natural language processing. […]

The proposed product “autonomous three-phase micro-cell multilevel inverter” comes to offer scalable and “plug and power-up” solution for both large scale photovoltaic PV farms and small-scale residential installations. These three phase micro-cells can be scaled in any direction (parallel or series) to increase output power or voltage. Furthermore, each micro-cell is small light weighted dc-ac […]

For this project we will better understand the health of the St Lawrence River through the lens of bacterial diversity. The ability of natural waterways to process anthropogenic inputs is dependant on the bacterial health of the ecosystem. This study will help to characterise the bacterial community and allow us to better understand the processes […]

The Superplastic Forming process involves gas injection from a variable pressure supply, to form a heated metallic sheet into a complex automotive body panel shape. The current process involves excessive forming times which allow residual stresses to relax thus avoiding cracks and tearing. Research shows that pressure pulsations of the gas supply increase the allowable […]

Leach’s storm-petrels (Oceanodroma leucorhoa) are long-lived seabirds that spend most of the year on the open ocean and return from overwinter grounds in the southern hemisphere to breed in large colonies in Atlantic Canada. Since the 1990s, breeding colonies have severely declined and Leach’s storm-petrels are listed as Threatened in the COSEWIC registry of species […]

New meters, sensors and other field data collection devices are providing a plethora of real time system operational data for building, industrial plants and production systems. At the same time, building owners, industrial plant owners and campus based operations are being challenged with managing their energy use both through conservation and demand management processes. In […]

? Comprehensive review of S2EBPR, with a focus on operation, performance and microbial structure ? Evaluate and understand the effect of operational factors on conventional and S2EBPR systems by water quality monitoring, carbon, phosphorus and nitrogen mass balance, metabolic activity and kinetic tests and microbial ecology analysis ? Design and optimization of an S2EBPR system […]
