The Health and Physical Education (HPE) programs of Chinese schools will be analyzed and compared to that of schools in Canada. To do this, there will be three primary areas of focus. Firstly, the Chinese philosophical approach to physical education will be examined. This includes the sports, games, dances, and other exercises that are taught […]

Parenting an adult child with autism spectrum disorder and an intellectual disability (ASD-ID) presents unique challenges, which often leads to parental distress, anxiety, depression, and uncertainty of their child’s future. To date however, there has not been an intimate, authentic account of this parental experience. Moreover, this strength-based approach will provide an important addition to […]

In this project, we would model the underwater acoustic behavior. Using the model, we will calculate the distance to the source of the sound with high accuracy despite the underwater environmental conditions. The second part of our project is to classify the source producing the sound. Our algorithm will be able to detect and distinguish […]

This research project aims to investigate how Chinese international graduate students perceive Individual Writing Consultations (IWCs), and the findings will be used to provide constructive suggestion for writing IWC administrators. Two questions will be used to guide this study: 1. What are international graduate students’ opinions of IWCs? 2. How can IWCs improve their service […]

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a process family in which layers of material are deposited to create components. It can also be used to repair complex 3D parts. The scope of this research is to establish a process planning framework for metal-based bead deposition processes that considers the various heat cycling, materials, and process parameters. The […]

Gingival thickness (biotype) and quality of soft tissues have a significant impact on the outcome of dental restorative and regenerative therapy for many patients. Assessment of periodontal biotype is critical when selecting appropriate protocols in the field of dental surgery. Chosen methodology will have significant ramifications on the restoration of the soft and hard oral […]

Green Shield Canada (GSC) is going to achieve the capability of data analytics in order to make data-driven decisions in various care management use case scenarios. One of these use cases is to detect specific patterns and associations between dental hygiene and health care costs of the individuals covered by them, predict points of intervention […]

There is an increase in brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases as the number of aged individuals is increasing. Currently there is no treatment available that can halt the progression of these diseases. Previous work has shown that a natural compound CoQ10 can prevent brain cell death. Similarly an Ayurvedic Herbal extract, Ashwagandh Root […]

The purpose of this research is to create a framework which investigates the different factors that play a role in the effects that SME’s present to a society. This project will be case study based. It will define the differences between the micro-region of Detroit and a macro-region, the country of Brazil. The framework will […]

The aim of this in vitro study is to explore demineralization detection abilities and conduct a volumetric assessment of caries in extracted teeth using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), ultrasound and Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM), and x-rays imaging (micro CT). Sound and carious extracted human molars were collected under ethical approval at the Eastman Dental Institute […]

Heart’s electrical activities are traditionally collected by employing multiple electrodes that are connected the patient’s body and collected and recorded on an electrocardiogram. The objective of this project is to enhance the patient’s comfort and allow for a continues ECG monitoring with improved flexibility while minimizing the sacrifices of detected and accumulated data. In this […]

Pancratistatin (PST) has been shown to selectively eliminate human cancer cells, but has not been used extensively in clinical trials due to its low availability in nature. Recently, different forms of PST have been synthesized and have demonstrated anti-cancer activity. These synthesized PST molecules have been tested on prostate, pancreatic, osteosarcoma and colorectal cancer cells. […]
