Most computers and materials work on scales such that quantum effects can be comfortably ignored. But as we aim to make computers ever smaller, quantum effects will cause difficulties; however, they also provide opportunities. Spin-crossover (SCO) materials are molecules that can “Flip” between two states: either high or low spin binary states, making them essentially […]

The overall goal for the Active Worker Strategy is to increase movement within the workplace. Office workers tend to be inactive within their working environment, which may cause an increased risk of developing work-related pain later in life. This investigation is going to look into creating office layout guidelines in order to promote a more […]

In an era where AI can write articles, create reports, and even craft stories, ensuring this content is accurate, free from errors, and trustworthy is crucial. Our project, “Building Trust in AI-Generated Content: Innovative Strategies for Quality and Integrity Verification,” aims to tackle this important challenge and to measure and increase the reliability and trustworthiness […]

Companies can realize the cost-saving benefits of having access to large amounts of data provided they have digital tools that allow efficient and accurate extraction of information from the dataset. The goal of this project is to conduct the research required for machine learning algorithms to provide reliable engineering predictions for industrial applications. To achieve […]

Semiconducting polymers (SPs) are at the forefront of the next generation of organic electronics. They enable seamless integration into various biological and industrial applications. SPs can be engineered to be mechanically compliant and soft, giving them an advantage over silicon-based electronics. Their electronic and solid-state properties also make them promising candidates for emerging organic electronics. […]

The aim of this project is to explore how ELLs’ (English language learners) self-criticism in sounding native-like affect their language learning motivation in Canadian and Chinese universities. Although achieving a ‘native-like’ pronounciation is far from being proficient in a language, many language learners’ goals are to sound linguistically authentic for many different reasons. It is […]

Amblyopia, also called lazy eye, is a significant visual problem in childre n worldwide. Lack of proper visual development during the first 8 years after birth leads to deficits in sensory and perceptive stimuli processing. Around 5% of children in the world are commonly affected with amblyopia. When left untreated, amblyopia affects everyday activities, quality […]

This research project aims to improve the comfort of automotive seating by evaluating a new vibration massage system developed by our partner company and developing a pressure sensing software that can monitor how people respond to the vibration massage system. The project will integrate the vibration system with the software and introduce additional features such […]

The project will provide drinking water systems using ozone/AOP, or planning to use ozone/AOP in the near future, to operate with the optimum ozone/AOP concentrations, pH during different temperatures for the effective removal of three cyanotoxins. The findings of the research project will provide the operation of drinking water systems with optimum operation procedures to […]

The superplastic metal blow forming process involves using air pressure to force a metal sheet at very high temperatures into the shape of a die for the purpose of manufacturing a component part. It has been shown that by subjecting the forming pressure to small pulsations within a range of amplitude and frequency, results in […]

The objectives of this Globalink research project are to study in China and compare it to that of Canada, more specifically the philosophy behind teachers, classrooms, and schools. One sub- objective includes comparing the difference between China and Canada’s teaching philosophies. For example, what specifically do these countries do differently in the grades 4 – […]

This proposed project aims to inquire into Canadian novice teachers’ induction by exploring the long-term impact of international intercultural learning experiences they had during their pre-service teacher education. More specifically, my study expects to answer the three key questions: 1) What are the professional experiences of the Canadian participants in the Reciprocal Learning Program as […]
