During surgery, a neurosurgeon must refer to three levels of image information: macroscopic from the patient’s MRI or CT, providing anatomical context of the surgical target; mesoscopic information from a surgical microscope or exoscope providing a highly magnified view of the region surrounding the surgical target; and the most important microscopic information provided by histology […]

A wide range of cognitive faculties are commonly compromised in numerous trauma-exposed populations, leading to impaired functioning, and reduced treatment response rates. There is a dire need for novel therapies that can directly target such deficits in top-down cognitive control. Goal management training (GMT) is one such cognitive remediation therapy found to be effective for […]

The coasts of Georgian Bay (Lake Huron) are used extensively by migratory songbirds (including species at risk) for both breeding and migratory fueling. We will study how adult and juvenile songbirds use and move among islands and the mainland during the post-breeding period when juveniles are still developing and adults moult flight and body feathers. […]

Induced seismicity is the occurrence of earthquakes which are triggered by various activities related to natural resource extraction or energy production, such as underground mining. The hazard from induced seismicity needs to be carefully assessed and quantified for safe planning and execution of those economic resource or energy-related activities. Mining and exploration industries in Canada […]

Shock deformation is the common deformation type in the solar system, and olivine is one of the most abundant rock-forming minerals found in the planet’s basalts or mantle residuals. This project studied strained olivine under two distinctive deformation schemes, shock metamorphism and tectonism, by electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD). We will examine the subdomain misorientation induced […]

This research mission in the Bioarchaeology Imaging Laboratory in the Department of Anthropology at Western University, under the direction of Andrew Nelson will be of unprecedented relevance for the thesis I am undertaking: Insects, mummies and funerary practices: contribution of archaeoentomology, paleoparasitology and 3D imaging to the study of pre-Hispanic mummies of the central coast […]

The world is facing a looming population crisis and production of sufficient food to feed humanity will be a major challenge. Simultaneously, our continued reliance on chemical pesticides to sustain crop yields has resulted in severe resistance issues and foodstuffs contaminated with pesticides. New methods to kill these pathogens is required. The algae pigments chlorophylls […]

The two-spotted spider mite (TSSM) is a global pest that feeds on more than 150 crops including soybean. In Ontario, its pest pressure is especially high in dry years. With climate change, the TSSM pest pressure will increase, predicting the need for the effective pesticide control of TSSM. Dimethoate (Lagon® or Cygon®), an organophosphate pesticide, […]

The proposed device, that has been requested to Sciencetech Inc. (SCI) during the past few years, is an innovative way to analyze the light generated by modern high intensity light sources in many areas of research, and in particular in those using Solar Simulation (space research, agriculture, biology, medical, semiconductors solar cells and renewable energy […]

Canadian Credit Union Association (CCUA) is aiming to deliver the best service and resources to its credit union members in Canada. However, the value of its services sometimes may not be fully aware of or understood by the members, especially during this pandemic situation when they are overwhelmed by various tasks on hand. Therefore, the […]

The primary project for the intern would to be a leading force in the overhaul of the YMCA of Southwestern Ontario’s CRM system. Currently using Salesforce, the YMCA of Southwestern Ontario is looking to clean its data sets to be able to effectively and efficiently research membership data trends, study consumer behaviour, and best understand […]

Angel investors are uniquely positioned to bring transformative and positive change in areas that will impact Canada’s ability to scale innovative companies that rise to the global stage. Angels are community-based investors that take a “leap of faith” on entrepreneurs before institutional investors, such as venture capital funds. To grow and scale, entrepreneurs need angels. […]
