The Ways of Absorption and Interpretations of Prajna and Nagarjuna’s Philosophy in Tian Tai Buddhism

Prajna and Nagarjuna’s Philosophy, whose main character is to dispel, eliminate, and integrate, has gained a new meaning structure after Tiantai Zhiyi’s interpretation. Judging from the appearance of the teachings, Prajna brings together the general teaching and other teachings, while the right teaching is the perfect teaching. In terms of insight wisdom, the wisdom of “equality and one taste” is about the realm of all living beings and has the distinction of insight wisdom. Under the perspective of the Reality Theory of the Perfect Teaching, the Three Views and the Three Wisdoms, as the expansion dimensions of Prajna, are just one mind, equal and unobstructed, all of which are appropriate and complete, and encompass the Three Truths, the Three Paths, and the Three Buddhas. Waiting for the truth of the middle way of all dharmas. At the same time, as one of the sources of Zhiyi’s “Three Truths” thoughts, the “Three Truths” also has multiple meaning structures under Zhiyi’s judgment system, and has the character of covering all dharmas as a whole.

Research on Layman Education Thoughts of Master Taixu

This project will conduct a systematic study on Master Taixu’s thoughts on layman education. Master Taixu was a pioneer in the reform of modern Buddhism and had a profound impact on the development of modern Buddhism. As the vast majority of Buddhist belief groups, lay Buddhists are the main participants in family and social activities, and they are the practical carriers for the development of Humanistic Buddhism.This project will comprehensively sort out Master Taixu’s views on the relationship between monks and laymen, clarify Master Taixu’s views on the order and content of layman’s practice, and propose enlightenment and reflection on modern layman education and the development of Humanistic Buddhism.

Etuaptmumk, a Two-Eyed Seeing approach to Live-Projects – Prototyping Deployable, Culturally Identifiable Spaces for Indigenous Youth Athletes

The NAIG 2023 is trialling Brave Spaces for young athletes — outdoor rooms providing for
moments of pause or rest during the event programming. The idea for this particular program
came from NAIG and relates to the observed experiences of youth athletes during previous
games. Reflection on this trial will be useful for the NAIG 2023 to review and share with future
hosts of the NAIG. This trial is also an opportunity to improve upon an architectural pedagogical practice called
“live projects,” in which course instruction takes place within a real-world scenario, with a client,
a budget and agreed deliverables. Our proposed collaboration with indigenous community
members is atypical because the exchange occurs within the context of designing and building
collaboratively. This approach supports co-authorships and distinguishes itself from typical roles
of designer /client or traditional knowledge holders as cultural guide exclusively.

Optogenetic feedback control to control gene expression using image processing techniques

Biomanufacturing is essential to growing Canada’s economy – as it provides a means to produce valuable and essential drugs, therapeutics, vaccines, and chemicals such that they are affordable and available for the Canadians who need them. In these facilities, biomanufacturing using yeast cells are becoming an attractive method for producing the valuable products because they can be rapidly produced and can result in larger quantities. In our Project, we will develop a miniaturized system that will search for genes that will tune the metabolic pathway toward efficient and large production of drugs of interest. Our complete system will use light to control these genes, and find which genes are critical to produce large quantities of a drug. When successful, we will have a new method for biomanufacturing optimization that can be applied to numerous drug production as well as new software workflow that can be integrated with Object Research Systems’ line of software products.

Assessing temporal changes in grizzly bear reproductive characteristics under fluctuating Pacific salmon returns

The proposed research will use camera trap footage collected since 2009 to answer questions relating to grizzly bear conservation and status within British Columbia. Observed numbers of female bears with cubs will be analyzed in relation to Pacific salmon returns to a specific river on the coast of BC, to determine if there is a relationship between grizzly cubs in an area and the amount of salmon available across years. By using a large data set of images, this project aims to provide a big picture image of trends relating to food and wildlife birth relationships. The intern will work in collaboration with and supported by Knight Inlet Lodge, a grizzly bear viewing lodge, providing continued monitoring of the local grizzly population, identification of individual bears and relevant information that will be shared with wildlife guides and guests for the continued success of the business. Finally, the intern will share findings from the research with KIL in efforts to maintain conservation efforts and mitigation strategies in the area.

The Mental Health and Work Participation of Home Care Rehabilitation Professionals Transitioning Out of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly affected the physical and mental health wellbeing of health care workers. However, research on occupational stress and burnout in rehabilitation professionals (RPs) is severely lacking especially the effects of COVID-19. The purpose of this study is to examine the nature and impacts of burnout and occupational stress among RPs working at VHA Home healthcare transitioning out of the pandemic via self-reported questionnaires and qualitative interviews. To effectively manage the mental health needs of these workers and support occupational engagement, organizations must develop policies, programs, services and practices designed specifically for public health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings of this study practical strategies that support the mental health of RPs at VHA. This project will provide evidence for the organization to foster a safe, cohesive and inclusive work environment in turn translating into better healthcare services for VHA patients.

How Mechanical Conflicts Contribute to Organ Growth.

The developmental programming of an organism ensures reproducibility of organ shape and size with accurate robustness. But, how an organ knows when to grow and when to stop is a key question that remains inadequately addressed. Both genetics and mechanics play a role in the maintenance of organ reproducibility and robustness, especially in plants. Mechanical feedback of cells and tissues is necessary for proper organ morphogenesis, but the connection between mechanical status and genetics is not well understood. As plant cells are immobile and linked by cellulose matrix, they need to modulate growth and resolve mechanical conflicts arising due to differential growth. The study proposes to investigate how genes that regulate leaf shape (namely CIN-TCPs) also contribute to growth patterning and mechanical properties of cells. The data generated by live-imaging of organs will be helpful in understanding consequences of genetic regulation of growth on mechanical conflicts to produce robust organ shape in wildtype leaf and cotyledon.
Our work will address a fundamental question in developmental biology. We will work on molecular regulators of growth and their dialogue with the biophysical realm that maintains organ robustness. The work will give us a comprehensive idea of parameters that modulate variability in organ size

Design and optimization of an autonomous solar water pumping system with battery bank storage system

It is aimed to design and optimize a system which uses solar energy for electrification as well as providing the required electricity for pumping water. A Photovoltaic-battery autonomous standalone system will be considered. Furthermore, in some areas the radiation is lessened due to bad weather conditions. Therefore, it is common to use batteries to provide energy when the system has no solar energy, or the solar radiation is not sufficient. Sizing of the system should be selected while considering loss of power in different periods of time. The change in load of the system should be investigated to predict the probable change of consumption patterns. Finally, environmental-economic investigation should be evaluated.
Expected benefits:
• Scientific: To deepen the knowledge of solar water pumping
• Technological: To improve the performance of the available water pumping systems
• Financial: To lower levelized cost of electricity by using renewable sources
• Environmental: To reduce emissions and carbon footprint
