Social networks have become an important information hub with a huge customer base. Hence businesses try to leverage social networks in their advertising and marketing campaigns. One of the advantages of social networks is that the users can influence their community and friends. Detecting influential users provides multiple benefits for businesses such as more effective […]

This research will involve working alongside the community of Inuvik, NWT to develop culturally safe solutions to address men’s boating safety behaviours in the northern Canada. The intern will spend time in Inuvik to learn about men’s water safety practices in the community. Benefits to the research participants, communities, and NWT Recreation and Parks Association […]

Proper brain development is required for normal cognitive functions in mammals. Recent studies have shown that both protein-coding genes and noncoding RNAs, especially microRNAs (miRNAs), play crucial roles in brain development. We have identified several miRNAs that are expressed in specific regions in the embryonic and adult mouse cerebral cortex, and demonstrated their important roles […]

For people with lower limb amputations, the interface between the amputated limb and a prosthetic socket is very important. Suspension, or how the socket is held on the limb, is one factor that affects a person’s ability to walk efficiently and safely, movement confidence, limb health, and quality of life. This project will assess, evaluate, […]

This research project with the industry partner DataWind inc. is an interdisciplinary project that joins together Education, Learning system engineering, and Human-machine interactions. The challenge is to combine these four disciplines’ contributions in order to create a learning system for mobile devices that will be adapted to the individual self-learning, particularly for children in developing […]

The proposed collaboration project between the Richeson and Journaux groups has a primary purpose of identifying new magnetic phenomena derived from common, inexpensive transition metals. The focus is on compounds containing cobalt and iron metal centers since these metals have larger than usual magnetic anisotropies. In order to design these compounds, specific chemical groups will […]

Les catégories strictes sont utilisées pour étudier des propriétés géométriques et calculatoires en algèbre, tandis que les catégories faibles sont importantes pour formaliser les mathématiques sur ordinateur. Si les premières sont bien comprises aujourd’hui, possédant des méthodes de calcul efficaces, la théorie mathématique des secondes est encore peu développée car elles sont bien plus complexes. […]

The relationship between the structure of rocks near the Earth’s surface and their geophysical properties is little understood. Rock samples from a large, exposed fault will be collected from Serifos, Greece, a region strongly affected by earthquakes and recent tectonism. These samples preserve varying degrees of deformation and structural complexity. The amountof deformation affects the […]

This project will be conducted by Myriam Lapierre (University of Ottawa), and will be supervised by Professor Andrés Salanova (University of Ottawa) and Professor Luciana Storto (Universidade de São Paulo). The aim of the project is to provide a thorough phonetic analysis of the vowels of Mebengokre, a Jê language spoken in the Brazilian Amazon. […]

OrbitHub is a web/mobile platform that helps its clients coordinate activities more efficiently and maximize the utilization of their resources and time. In addition to being a global social network, OrbitHub also offers tournament, league and ladder management functionality, as well as registrations, payments, rankings, court booking and more. This project aims to focus on […]

This research project investigates the experiences of women accessing abortions in Istanbul, Turkey. I will conduct interviews with approximately 40 women about their abortion experiences and their experiences with family planning and other reproductive services. I will also interview relevant figures in Istanbul who can speak about the quality of reproductive healthcare in Istanbul, including […]

The proposed research will develop a virtualized cloud-based multi-tenant environment tor testing and developing software defined networking products on a national scale. Similar centers are being built in other jurisdictions (Japan, Europe) but this is the first such initiative in Canada. We are partnering with CENGN, which is a consortium of industry partners who wish […]
