Precision measurements of the Hydrogen 1s-2s energy transition are key to verifying theoretical predictions and fundamental physics. The project at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) in Brazil is to perform the highest precision measurement of hydrogen using a new cold hydrogen beam, built at UFRJ, and a high power UV 243-nm laser […]

Liang Shuming’s”reciprocal centeredness”shows us a new way of gaining rights, he suggests that the realization of one’s personal rights will be naturally entitled via his fulfillment of necessary obligations.It’s likely that people lead a meaningful life among harmonious interactions rather than through the “outward demand” of rights,though the status he assigned to rights needs to […]

The system mainly relies on the power transfer in a wireless manner. It means no wire is required for charging the objects like cellphone, laptops, etc. anymore. Given that the partner focus is mainly on the wireless power transfer and that the proposed system can transfer the power in a wireless domain, the partner can […]

Our proposed research project aims to answer the overall question: how do new arthritis medications taken during pregnancy affect mothers and their children? Many types of arthritis strike in females during their childbearing years. Even though we now know more about the effects of arthritis drugs when taken during pregnancy, the picture is not yet […]

Our proposed research project aims to answer the overall question: what is the actual risk of infections or cardiovascular events for patients with inflammatory arthritis that take novel arthritis medication (biologics) and how does it compare between different classes of these drugs, in real-world settings? As well as asking if the safety and effectiveness of […]

Holdr aims to modernize the fan club experience by offering artists an easy way to partner with their most dedicated fans. This initiative promotes inclusivity within the music industry, ensuring every artist, regardless of their background or resources, has equal access to opportunities. The project requires assistance from Co-Op interns for several objectives: collaboration with […]

This project aims to develop a user-friendly visualization system for Thrive Health, a digital health solutions company. The visualization interface will be designed to effectively present a person’s health journey. This will be particularly helpful for patients with complex health conditions, as it will enable them to communicate their situation more clearly to their healthcare […]

Humpback whales are filter feeders that can engulf massive quantities of prey. However, because of their indiscriminate feeding strategies, humpback whales often ingest more than their intended prey alone. Alongside fish and zooplankton, microplastics are likely becoming a frequent menu item for humpback whales foraging along the coastlines of BC. Microplastics are a concerning environmental […]

This research is to develop a gallium nitride-based transistor used in high-power applications such as in electric vehicles and in solar power grids. Current gallium nitride transistors break down around 600-800 V. We propose to develop a technology that enable them to have more than 1200 V breakdown voltages. We also keep the balance between […]

Severe bleeding is a life-threatening medical emergency that can potentially result in death. Although there are currently available treatments to stop severe bleeding from injuries, these treatments have their limitations and may be ineffective for specific types of bleeding, such as non-compressible intra-abdominal bleeding. The goal of this proposed project is to conduct research on […]

The objective is to create new weather-forecast products to enable BC Hydro meteorologists to better support electric-power generation, power transmission, dispatch of emergency repair crews, anticipation of electric loads, and energy trading. The method is to use powerful computers to solve atmospheric equations for future weather (a method called Numerical Weather Prediction, NWP), and to […]

Mining activities generate large quantities of waste rock after valuable metals are extracted. Upon exposure to air and water, a diverse range of metals and metalloids are released and mobilized to the surrounding environment. There is an urgent need to manage the environmental risk posed by mine waste rock piles given the scale of the […]
