The intern wilJ participate in a variety of activities related to research and analysis related to building programs carried out by various levels of government in connection with Canada’s Cen tennial of Confederation in 1967. The research will include literature review, archival research , project documentation and analysiS, and collection and interpretation of project data, […]

The proposed research is to study the policing and secularity methods used by the Canadian and German governments to combat the illegal trafficking of humans within and without sovereign nations. The current application of the Canadian justice system against trafficking has yielded alarmingly low conviction rates. Findings in Germany will stand as a comparison to […]

The purpose of this research project is to collect data on the actors with an interest in nanotechnology – including suppliers, users, researchers, associations and others in order to better understand the networks of innovation and to support NanoOntario’s efforts to facilitate the development of innovation networks and advance nanotechnology. Ontario companies and researchers have […]

As a grants life cycle involves many steps, it is crucial for grantmakers to monitor and manage the process. While digital management offers efficiency, multitude of clients and solutions they require results with highly fragmented market. By identifying the stakeholders in grants management marketplace and by assessing their needs, software vendors can become more competent […]

This study will examine Germany and Canada through a comparative, cross-national case study. An in-depth literature review and policy analysis will contextualize the differences and similarities of Canadian and German settlement sectors, allowing for a better understanding of the link between non-profit settlement services and social inclusion in each country. In particular, this study will […]

This project concerns a technological solution for the home support of elderly people. The objectives of this device are the detection and prediction of falls of the elderly. For this, a solution based on thermal cameras is envisaged. This technological choice is motivated by the fact that it is a totally passive solution, that thermal […]

Using maps is an integral part of our life especially in our digital era whether it is for navigation, used in geographic information system,resources monitoring, surveying and many others. The pace of technological progress in the mapping sensors is rapidly accelerating. LIDAR sensors and optical sensors are two different types of mapping sensors. LIDAR and […]

Sediment build-up in stormwater management ponds decreases their overall capacity to hold water and reduces their efficiency, in terms of controlling pollution. For this reason, and in order to comply with government regulations, municipalities must remove the sediment periodically. Determining when maintenance is required is difficult because it depends on a number of factors, and […]

This project is about understanding the culture and practice of nurses in the city of Niteroi, Brazil in the context of community health with women, children, and youth. The data collection will involve my personal observation of nurses practices with their clients, meetings with staff and decision makers, as well, as health and professional authorities. […]

The “RESOLUTION: Resilient Systems for Land Use Transportation” is an ongoing project that focuses on the ways in which the impact of transportation infrastructure in terms of operation and provision leads to social and spatial segregation across major metropolitan regions across the World. My job would be to collaborate with Federal University of ABC to […]

The electroencephalogram (EEG) reflects the neural electrical activity and used in brain-computer interface (BCI) systems which provide assistive technologies for people with various disabilities. The proposed research is mainly focused to apply Nonnegative matrix factorization for EEG signal enhancement for BCI applications to mitigate the limitations of existing BCI system such as slow speeds, limitation […]

Stormwater from urban areas has continuously contributed to degradation of stream health in Ontario, despite a number of measures being put in place for new developments. More recently, a Low Impact Development (LID) approach, aimed at controlling the rain runoff at the source, has been promoted and implemented. This project will focus on developing a […]
