Zinc is extracted from sulfide ore by roasting – calcine leaching and direct pressure leaching of zinc sulfide, followed by zinc recovery from sulfate solution via electrowinning. Impurity elements in zinc sulfate solution must be lowered to levels suitable for electrowinning. The removal of many impurity elements is achieved using zinc dust cementation. However, when […]

A special group of stray dogs in Brazil known as ‘community dogs’ has been the centre of interest for scientific researchers. These community dogs may hold the key to controlling stray dog populations around the world, as well as mitigating disease transmission between animals and humans. My proposed project will look at the different behaviours […]

Historical documents about Japan have not included information on its long-distance running culture. A type of event called ‘ekiden’ is very popular in Japan. Ekiden racing is a team relay event, invented in Japan. Sporting events can tell us about the meaning people place on them, and the reasons why they are valued. This project […]

Dungeness crab occupy three distinct habitats over their complex life cycle as they progress from larval to juvenile to adult stages. To understand Dungeness abundance then, attention needs to be paid to each life stage and its unique interactions with its environment. In the Salish Sea, studies addressing early Dungeness crab life stages, such as […]

This project aims to explore the Victorian reception of Buddhism, focusing on the renowned British writer Rudyard Kipling and his works. By examining Kipling’s growth experience, reading history, and knowledge sources, we seek to understand how he conceived Buddhism and represented it in his literary works. During the turn of the century, there was a […]

Over the past two decades, the number of network-connected devices has grown at an unprecedented pace, far surpassing the world’s population. The most significant increase has been seen in Internet-of-Things (loT) devices, which are predominantly connected through wireless technologies. This project aims at advancing the abilities and autonomy of wireless loT networks by using machine […]

In this work we seek to deploy a web app to help orthopaedic clinicians all around the world analyse 3D ultrasound (US) volumes of hips to more accurately diagnose developmental dysplasia of the hip in infants. We intend to develop and evaluate artificial intelligence (AI) models capable of segmenting relevant hip bones from 3D US […]

The aim of the research is to propose a Technical Economic Analysis (TEA) framework which can accelerate knowledge translation of university-based industry-sponsored research. There are many impactful pathways for knowledge translation, and this research will focus on the commercialization pathway. The motivation of this research project is to apply novel start-up methodologies to the TEA […]

The purpose of the proposed project is to investigate the impact of violence on HIV care access. Women living with HIV experience extremely high rates of violence; however, little research has explored how violence impacts access to HIV care. Data will be drawn from the Sexual Health and HIV/AIDS: Longitudinal Women’s Needs Assessment Project (SHAWNA: […]

The objective for this research project is to support the future international success of the Canadian racialized creatives in the screen industry. There is a lack of available research on content production specifically targeting global audiences, and therefore there are significant gaps for development, promotion and distribution of Canadian screen content that could be filled […]

The project focuses on enhancing a computational multi-physics framework for analyzing or designing engineering systems where more than one physical phenomena are present and interact with each other – for example, fluid-structure interaction or conjugate heat transfer. In cases where the solution algorithm can be unstable or slow to converge, the partner organization has found […]

Physical activities, such as running, cycling, and weightlifting, are typically associated with a subjective feeling of exertion. Such perception of exertion is generally defined as “how heavy and strenuous a physical task is”. People’s subjective feelings of exertion is strongly associated with the task intensity and their energy expenditure. People also often exercise together, both […]
