As part of Envirosoil’s re-usable energy division in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, drilling fluid waste product will be re-purposed as a potentially viable fuel supplement and additive in other industrial processes. The proposed research would look into viable options for reusing this material in a way that is commercially beneficial to the current operations, while […]

Striped bass invaded Labrador, Newfoundland and Labrador in August 2017 and were identified to feed on Atlantic salmon and capelin; two important fishes to NunatuKavut Community Council (NCC). This project aims to sample striped bass in Labrador to identify what it is consuming. We will combine traditional stomach content morphological identification with a new approach […]

Computer-based simulation software, called hygrothermal modeling has become increasingly popular and useful to predict and evaluate heat, air, vapour, and water-related performance of buildings. This research project aims to improve such modelling for wood construction through validation using specifically measured property data and field/lab performance data. The goal is to make modelling a more reliable […]

With the rise in electronic health records, we are seeing more reports of clinician job dissatisfaction that is attributed to the amount of data entry work they are now required to do. Therefore, there is a lot of interest to use a speech recognition system to reduce the burden clinicians have by automating the documentation […]

La forêt canadienne est réputée pour sa diversité biologique, pour la qualité des bois qu’on en extrait, et de plus en plus pour la multitude de services écologiques qu’elle fournit aux humains, comme par exemple la villégiature, la chasse ou la cueillette de petits fruits, Malgré qu’elle soit très vaste, cette forêt n’est pas résistante […]

The project aims to develop the deep learning-based algorithm that translate the image style of specific object to the reference style. Firstly, the proposed research focuses on identifying the accurate region in image for style transfer, and then translating the image style in that region. Current techniques about image style transfer are struggling to focus […]

The internship will focus on two case studies in the area of business and marketing research, aiming to integrate academic level rigour with practical relevance. First, the intern will consider how drone-based research tools can be managed and marketed in an international development context that engages local networks of drone users whilst maintaining technological standards […]

Barren Lands First Nation is a remote community located in Northern Manitoba, approximately 250 km North West of Thompson, Manitoba at latitude of 57 degrees. It is an off-grid community i.e. it is not connected to the provincial electricity supply grid. The community relies on ice roads built over winter to haul in supplies and […]

Les boulons servant au soutènement des galeries de mines souterraines ne respectent souvent pas le patron de boulonnage défini par les ingénieurs dû à diverses raisons telle la complexité de la pose des boulons sur le terrain dans un intervalle de temps limité. Les galeries ne sont alors pas aussi renforcées qu’elles devraient l’être et […]

Considérant que l’un des défi clé en matière de gestion de l’innovation consiste à comprendre l’écosystème dans son ensemble ainsi que les facteurs déterminants qui s’y rattachent et de réussir à développer des stratégies permettant d’en tirer profit, cet écosystème et ces facteurs environnementaux représentent donc des éléments importants à prendre en compte dans le […]

Three out of five Canadians with dementia wander, raising concern as to how it can be managed. Current information describing best practices to find missing persons living with dementia however, is inconsistent and can cause police difficulty in choosing search and rescue strategies for this population.
