Acute myocardial infarction (commonly known as a heart attack) is a major disease of the cardiovascular system and a leading cause of death and hospitalization in North America. It results in 7.4 million deaths globally per annum. Current clinical medications only prevent the disease but cannot cure it after a heart attack occurs. Scientific evidence […]

The plan is to research the physiology and behaviour of Ixodes scapularis, and Dermacentor variabilis ticks with and without the presence of Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium, Rickettsia bacterium, Francisella bacterium, and Bartonella bacterium to answer the overarching question: Are tick-borne bacteria that are pathogenic to humans also harmful to the tick vectors in Nova Scotia? Cold […]

Les camélidés partagent certaines caractéristiques anatomiques et physiologiques avec les ruminants. Bien que les camélidés aient une particularité microbienne telle que la présence d’un type de protozoaire spécifique à eux ‘’type B’’ et un genre spécifique nommé Butchlia permettant une meilleure digestibilité des fourrages par rapport aux protozoaires ‘’type A’’ chez les ruminants, on dispose […]

The proposed research will report and deliver a critical review of the current and relevant studies on community annoyance and human health impacts due to noise related to airport and aircraft operations. It will also investigate, identify and analyse the relevant factors, other than the traditional noise metrics (eg., LDN, CNEL, Leq, etc.), associated with […]

Time Series is a sequence of records and observations ordered in time. For instance, feedback from a sensor with timestamps can be considered a time series set. Studying Time Series can help with the predicting and understanding of a system and its behaviour. It can also be used to control the mechanism. In the past, […]

Feldan Therapeutic developed the Feldan Shuttle platform, a breakthrough peptide-based delivery method that allows the introduction of foreign proteins inside cells. The Feldan Shuttle overcomes delivery obstacles in therapeutic context by providing a safe and highly efficient approach that is associated with low regulatory burden. The Shuttle platform can transfer active nucleases and transcription factors […]

The current project is designed to assess the level of damage that a realistic irregular bridge will undergo after the occurrence of an earthquake. This study encourages an improved understanding of post-seismic return to service and repair of an irregular bridge. A more sophisticated approach will be used to analyze the complex vibrations of the […]

La turbidité des lacs fait référence à la teneur de l’eau en matières en suspension (MES) qui la troublent. Elle peut être causée soit par des particules : organiques (matières animales ou végétales), ou inorganiques (limon, argiles ou composés chimiques). En 2010, Tata Steel Minirals Canada (TSMC) s’est établie dans la région de Schefferville pour […]

The aim of this project is to explore the automation of tree selection, which consist of selecting which trees to cut in a forest harvesting operation. When selecting a tree, one must consider multiple characteristic of the tree: its size, its position relative to other trees, its health and many other things. We begin this […]
