Canadian Nature Fund for Aquatic Species At-Risk

The proposed project aims to protect and restore habitat for aquatic species at risk such as the shortnose sturgeon and yellow lampmussel within the Nerepis River Watershed over a three-year timeline. This unique river system is not only crucial for aquatic species but also supports the habitat of many terrestrial species at risk. The river flows through the Department of National Defence’s 5th Canadian Division Support Base (CDSB) training area, exposing it to unique factors that affect its ecological state, such as exploded/unexploded munitions, military equipment, chemical agents, etc. Once it flows through the training area, it continues through Welsford then flows into Grand Bay-Westfield, where it drains into the Saint John (Wolastoq) River. This unique river system requires comprehensive conservation efforts.
The core activities of the project encompass an ecosystem-based approach to habitat conservation. This includes identifying, surveying, and monitoring target species at risk, program planning and development, incorporating Indigenous Traditional Knowledge, conducting habitat restoration and improvement research, implementing habitat improvement measures, and mitigating human impacts. By embracing an ecosystem-based strategy inspired by Indigenous Peoples’ traditional practices, the project aims to foster collaboration among governmental bodies, non-profit environmental groups, and Indigenous communities to utilize their vast knowledge in improving and restoring populations of aquatic species at risk.

Development and validation of an algorithm forsegmentation of the cochlea from medical images

A cochlear implant (CI) is a complex electronic device designed to provide the sensation of sound to profoundly deaf or severely hard-of-hearing individuals. Imaging of the implanted CI electrode would assist manufacturers in verifying the efficacy of their designs and would also provide important information to clinics for programming CIs post-surgery. However, the size and position of the cochlea in the body make it difficult to image using clinical imaging scanners. In this proposal, the intern will develop and evaluate a novel image processing computer algorithm to extract anatomical information from digital images acquired using clinical scanners. The main deliverable of this work will be computer software that can be used with currently available scanners, so hospitals need not purchase additional equipment. The intern working on this project will gain highly desirable experience with state-of-the-art digital image processing algorithms, and this will make him highly employable in Canada’s imaging industry.

Exploring the automation of animal health surveillance through natural language processing: A comparative analysis of supervised and unsupervised approaches for canine gastroenteritis

Canine gastroenteritis is a syndrome characterized by inflammation of the stomach and intestines, resulting in acute onset diarrhea, vomiting, and anorexia. As no prophylactic treatment exists, veterinary health preparedness based on surveillance is a key preventive strategy. We propose a comparative empirical study applying various language modeling approaches to identify gastroenteritis outbreaks in UK dogs using SAVSNET data. Because practice-specific naming conventions and clinical narrative structures often lack standardized recording of clinical features, the models will be optimized for various veterinary applications to explore scalability.
