Comparing teaching approaches used in EFL classrooms in China vs. ESL in Canada

The purpose of this research project is to physically observe, take notes, and study the structure in which teachers teach English as a Foreign Language in Chinese classrooms. The data collected will be compared and contrasted with methods utilized by English as a Second Language teachers in Canadian classrooms. By comparing and contrasting both classrooms, the expected learning outcomes will show how students utilize the language with the tools and opportunities given to them by their teachers. This research will be useful for future teachers in ESL classrooms in Canada by providing comparative teaching methods and strategies to be used as a resource in the classrooms, while engaging foreign students.

Analyzing what works globally to provide equal opportunities to both male and female students in the science classrooms

This research aims to explore a global perspective on whether science programs lend themselves more to males than females, and if so, is there a driving force behind this? Observations will be made both in Canada and China to compare the ratio of males and females present in the science classrooms and compared between mandatory and optional science courses to find a possible drop off point. From here a further observation of the class set up and dynamics will occur to look for possible opportunities to better relate and gain the interest of more female students. Through these observation, the researchers hope to gain insight into what works and what needs improvements in order to better engage all students in the sciences and to share teaching strategies across countries.

Citizen data for cycling research: BikeMaps.org App development

Canadians are increasingly using cycling as a means of transportation. However, understanding the risks is problematic as data is limited. To address this, the Spatial Pattern Analysis and Research (SPAR) Lab has created a web-map, BikeMaps.org, to gather data from cyclists on crashes, near misses, hazards, and thefts. Cyclists around the world have enthusiastically begun to map points. However, BikeMaps.org requires a web-browser, which, in this day and age of mobile devices, limits its functionality. In partnership with a subsidiary of CAA, Club Auto Roadside Services Ltd., SPAR Lab is seeking a Mitacs grant to develop a mobile App to obtain more comprehensive data on cycling incidents. In addition to better access to cycling incident tools, the mobile App would include the ability to submit photos of geotagged hazards and also collect data on where cyclists are riding. Cyclists will also be able to receive alerts of new incidents in their riding area.

The Utilization of Bark to Make Rigid Polyurethane Foams

Polyurethane foams are so commonly used, from rigid dashboards in cars, to insulation in buildings, and the comfy mattresses we sleep upon. Replacing the petrochemical resources used to make them with renewable resources like bark would be a great stride towards sustainability. In order for this to be done the conversion process of bark into a liquid must be better understood. This project will try to elucidate how alcohols interact with the bark to digest it during the conversion process. Also, natural products tend to have a range of structures and so it is crucial to characterize the number of reactive groups per molecule extracted from the bark. This information is essential to understand mechanical properties like the compression strength of the polyurethanes. This research will be beneficial to the Huntsman Corporation because as a manufacturer of isocyanates and polyols (the reactants used to make a polyurethane) they will be able to entice their customers w

The effect of Ultrasound on orthodontic tooth movement

For over 100 years, malocclusion is being treated by using metal arch-wires, braces and bands. But these appliances are unaesthetic for the patients so these days patients are more inclined towards clear aligners. However the treatment duration is long which is of a great concern to the orthodontist as it might effects the general oral health of the patient. The research proposal will study the effect of Aevo System (low intensity pulsed ultrasound device) on the tooth movement during clear aligner treatment. For this purpose, 10 subjects between 12 -40 years will be recruited and studied for over 3 months for the change in the tooth position and effect of ultrasound on the root length. The outcomes of the study help in determining the effects of ultrasound in tooth position and thus determining the treatment duration. This information will provide critical information to SmileSonica Inc to develop its market strategies to reach the wider population.

Dental Resin Composites based on Bile Acid Monomers

Current commercially available dental resin composites use the monomer BisGMA that uses a toxic bisphenol A (BPA) as the starting material, causing potential environmental and health problems. We aim at replacing BPA with bile acids, natural compounds in the new synthesis of new dental monomers. We are also making new inorganic fillers that provide the strength of the material. The latter is the area of expertise of our collaborators at Donghua University. In order to obtain a commercially viable composite, we will collaborate with the group of Prof Meifang Zhu to exchange knowledge to the mutual benefit of both groups. We will acquire some of their insight and expertise into the intricacies of dental filler synthesis and preparation. At the end of this project, we will have a commercialization-ready dental resin composite that is better than currently available commercial products, showing improved biocompatibility.

Écologie de la fission-fusion chez le singe araignée

Some social mammals present a group dynamic related to spatially and temporally variable environments described as fission-fusion dynamics. This dynamics is defined as the temporal division of a group into sub-groups varying in size and composition, and is thought to occur through social regulation to improve foraging efficiency. Nevertheless, the influential factors in that dynamics are not well understood. Particularly, the ecological causes and the social relationships in the fission-fusion remain unclear. In this study I expect to see changes in the fission-fusion dynamics of spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi) groups inhabiting two different tropical forests, and under different contexts of food availability, subgroup size and subgroup composition. The main purpose of my project is to disentangle the relative influence of environmental and social variables on the fission-fusion dynamics in spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi). nderstanding the functioning of fission-fusion dynamics under different environmental and social conditions could allow us to understand the evolution and flexibility of group strategies. Given the high rates of current environmental changes, identifying a threshold in social behaviour could provide us useful indicators of environmental degradation for social animals

Mineralogical characterization of ore samples from the Cameco Resources Smith Ranch-Highlands Uranium Mine, Unit B

ln Situ Recovery (ISR) mining is used for about 47% of uranium mining globally. Regulations on restoration of mined aquifers require a return to pre-mining baseline water quality conditions, or conditions where the risk of human exposure is as low as reasonably achievable. Determining the attenuating capacity of down-gradient aquifer solids is key to quantifying this risk. Organic carbon phases and sulfides are expected to be important controls on transport of elements of concern through these materials. In this study, the intern will be examining core samples taken from the ore body in an unmined area of an active ISR uranium mine in Wyoming, USA owned by the industry partner Cameco. The intern will study the bulk mineralogy, characterize amorphous carbon phases, and map the mineralogy and elemental distributions in the core samples using a combination of synchrotron and traditional mineralogical approaches. Based on their findings, they will prepare a report of the results for the industry partner and provide recommendations for use of this data. As part of this project, the intern will work with the Cameco at their Saskatoon, SK office and will also gain field experience at their Northern Saskatchewan mine and mill sites.

Hydraulic simulation models of water pipe networks with geographic nformation system (GIS) and global positioning system (GPS)

Water distribution systems are important civil infrastructures that must be adequately managed nd maintained in order to provide expected levels of service to consumers. As such, they have need for on-line support systems based on continuous monitoring of hydraulic and water uality parameters within the system. The purpose of this project is to modify and test a ydraulic simulation model with support of Global Positioning System (GPS), which will allow onitoring and optimizing water utilization and detecting leaks and pipe bursts in each ousehold. Accurate and continuously updated view of the state of the water network system i.e., pipes within the system) will allow water utility organizations to monitor water onsumption/distribution and improve control of the system operation in many countries ncluding Canada and Brazil.

Quel modèle d’affaires et positionnement permettra à NÉOMED de créer de la valeur pour ses partenaires?

Au cours des dix dernières années, les entreprises pharmaceutiques mondiales ont été confrontées à plusieurs problèmes dont celui de la baisse significative de la productivité de la recherche et développement (R&D). En effet, au cours de cette période, les dépenses de R&D de l’industrie ont augmenté dramatiquement tandis que le nombre de nouveaux médicaments approuvés par les agences règlementaires par année a diminué.
Dans ce contexte, les nouvelles modalités stratégiques de la R&D des pharmaceutiques passent par l’innovation en collaborant à l’externe avec un nouveau type d’entreprises comme NÉOMED, CDRD, TI Pharma à titre d’exemple. Ces organisations ont vu le jour très récemment et leur approche vise à aider à transformer les innovations scientifiques précoces des universités, des entreprises biotechnologiques et même celles des entreprises pharmaceutiques en opportunités pour le développement de médicaments pour ces dernières. L’objectif de ce nouveau modèle d’affaires est motivé par le désir de partager les risques, diminuer les coûts de la recherche et d’améliorer la productivité. Ce projet de thèse a pour objectif de revoir le modèle d’affaires de ce nouveau type d’entreprises en identifier les lacunes avant que celles-ci ne soient trop importantes.

Empreinte eau et impact des réservoirs hydroélectriques du nord boréal québécois sur le climat régional

Au Canada, on dénombre plus de deux millions de lacs répartis sur près de 8% de la superficie du pays. En plus d’affecter le climat régional, les lacs et réservoirs de toutes tailles évaporent des quantités substantielles d’eau qui dès lors ne sont plus disponibles pour les gestionnaires de la ressource comme Hydro-Québec. À partir de simulations du Modèle régional canadien du climat, il est proposé d’évaluer l’impact des réservoirs hydroélectriques du nord québécois sur le climat régional et de quantifier l’empreinte eau de ces plans d’eau, soit la quantité d’eau consommée par évaporation. Les retombées attendues sont multiples: meilleure compréhension de l’origine des apports aux réservoirs, portrait plus global de l’empreinte écologique de l’hydroélectricité et meilleure gestion du niveau d’eau dans les réservoirs.
