The goal of this study is to look at the effects of healthy lifestyle on obesity status in men who are middle aged, slightly overweight and don’t exercise. This study will use exercise and nutrition guidelines to look at their effect on some of the hormones which maintain healthy body weight. Subjects enrolled in this […]

The private water sources of the remote rural communities in Newfoundland and Labrador are under constant threat from multiple contaminations, however, there is no existing affordable and accessible laboratory facility available to monitor those water samples. Previous studies highlighted the serious long-term health and economic implications of the hidden contaminations. Therefore, there is an urgent […]

Slips, trips, and falls (STFs) are a major concern in occupational environments, accounting for a significant portion of all reported work-related injuries in Newfoundland and Labrador’s offshore petroleum industry. Perturbation-based training has been shown as an effective measure in developing appropriate postural responses for young and older adults. This proposed research aims to address the […]

This proposed study is a part of a comprehensive investigation to evaluate the corrosion performance in SCC concrete structure. The full project is carried out based on the development of new SCC mixtures containing concrete materials available in Newfoundland and an investigation on the cracking behavior of full-scale SCC structure members. The main purpose of […]

Our four interns and six internships will be invaluable components in the research being conducted. These interns will be collecting primary data for the project and will be working directly with industry partners to test and develop feasible solutions to community drinking water problems. Our parter  organizations will directly benefit from our internships, as our […]

The process of an oil and gas reservoir being “soured” by hydrogen sulphide is complex due to the many operations (e.g. changing production methods and waterflooding). The phenomena of souring occurs in most reservoirs were secondary or enhanced oil/gas recovery takes place. Hydrogen sulphide casues a number of operational and safety problems such as scaling, […]

The project focuses on the development of some HPC mixtures using concrete materials available in Newfoundland. The developed HPC mixtures can be successfully used by concrete suppliers in Newfoundland area especially for the construction of marine and offshore structures. The project also aims to provide data-based analysis on the service life of some local concrete […]

The internship will be centred on the simulation of the dynamics of the Proto towed vehicle platform. Go Beyond will produce an initial design for the intern to work with, which will strongly resemble a torpedo-shaped AUV. The Proto simulation research will take that design and study various aspects of its dynamics. The outcome of […]

The proposed research project is intended to develop a software solution (middleware) that will work in conjunction with a remote communication device (i.e. ability to communicate via satellite and/or cellular networks) to greatly reduce the cost and complexity of monitoring in-field sensors including wireless sensors and critical industrial equipment from a centrally located office environment. […]

Age is a key factor in cancer burden, with 28% of new cancer cases and 22% of cancer deaths occurring in individuals between the ages of 60-69. Despite this, little research has examined cancer survivorship in older adults. This is unfortunate, as older cancer survivors experience poorer quality of life, functional status, and general health […]

Northern Radar Inc. (NRI) is working to expand its capability in ocean remote sensing of surface currents, surface winds and sea state, and is partnered with Memorial University to develop advanced HF radar algorithms The objectives of this work include a full analysis of NRI’s existing intellectual property, adapting and integrating the algorithms into new […]

The objective of the project is to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment of the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) population in Newfoundland and Labrador. While prevalence rates of ASD suggest that there are a large number of cases, the needs of this community are not well defined. Furthermore, we anticipate there will be significant differences in […]
