This research will look at the main differences between Chinese and Canadian music education through observing Chinese music classes. Seeing how Chinese music classes are taught will allow me to pinpoint the main differences in music is education within these two countries. I want to see the main differences of musical instruments that are taught […]

The purpose of this research is to understand that the developmental framework for integrating Visual Arts and Technology into literacy in a different culture.

In this proposed study I will observe the informal life lessons taught by teachers and student behaviors in Chinese and Canadian classrooms. I expect to find evidence that supports the idea that these lessons have an equal or greater impact on the student’s overall academic and social development. These less obvious lessons will revolve around […]

This project focuses on the research and development of a novel two-stage anaerobic digestion (AD) process to create an array of renewable products such as transportation fuels, chemicals, and plastics from sustainable biomass sources i.e. lignocellulosic crops, and to use wastes such as agricultural residues or municipal green bin collections or animal manures. The novel […]

Important information in determining dental implant success is the anchorage provided by the width of the alveolar bone ridge at the location of the implant site calculated during the presurgical assessment. Currently used methods are invasive (x-rays radiation, needle based mapping or direct exposure) and to date, there is no real-time ultrasonic dental tool dedicated […]

Intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual violence (SV) are unfortunately common occurrences in women’s lives. Women with a disability are at higher risk of these experiences. Disabilities such as depression have been researched and we now turn our attention to a condition that has not been researched: acne. This research project aims to find the […]

A recent report released by the Ontario HIV Treatment Network (OHTN) highlighted that considering health literacy […]

Al6022 alloy has excellent physical and mechanical properties suitable for a number of applications. In particular, its high strength/weight ratio makes it an ideal metal for automotive applications, where weight reduction is of significant concern. Unfortunately, this alloy, as many other Al-based alloys are susceptible to denting. At present, the repair possibilities for damaged Al6022 […]

Modular construction has been gaining its popularity and momentum because it is a cheaper and faster way to build buildings and other structures. Vectorbloc Corp., located in Toronto has developed the concept of steel tubular modular construction using hollow structural steel (HSS) members. This modular construction will use various connectors and assemblies. The primary connector […]

Dental hygienists (DH) are exposed to many potentially injurious physical demands, such as prolonged exposure to awkward neck, trunk, and shoulder postures. The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in this group is alarmingly high (62-93%). DH would benefit from ergonomics-specific workplace safety education, but it is unknown what sort of instruction, if any, is currently offered […]

SYM-TECH Inc. is looking to develop new corrosion-free precast concrete members (sleepers and piles) reinforced with fiber-reinforced-polymer (FRP) rods and using fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) for railway foundation applications. Such precast concrete members are usually reinforced with conventional or pre stressed steel reinforcements. Steel bars and strands used for reinforcement have a limited service life […]
