Software Engineering Framework for Users in Indigenous Communities

Technology is not neutral. Look at the keyboard it assumes right handedness. For example, the number pad and arrow keys are on the right. Similarly, the inherent biases of software computer programs are at best foreign entities and at worst tools of colonization when introduced to Indigenous communities. In line with CanadaCanada’s goals to promote […]

Understanding the sources of atmospheric chlorine in a midcontinental megacity

Atmospheric oxidants are responsible for the degradation and ultimate removal of the vast majority of emissions into our atmosphere. A complete understanding of this chemistry is therefore essential if we are to develop effective and timely policies that address the pressing societal problems of air quality and climate change. Chlorine atoms are the least understood […]

Condensation Droplets Shedding in Microgravity

Our experiments will investigate the shedding of condensates when exposed to airflow (aerodynamic forces) in the microgravity environment. Shedding of droplets from a surface is a critical part of the dropwise condensation process to improve heat transfer. Because the use of gravity as a droplet removal technique is not available in space, the use of […]

Exploration of inhibitors metabolization and their effect on Rhodosporidium toruloides

Lignocellulosic biomass has been widely accepted as a alternative and inexpensive substrate for biofuel production. The liquid hydrolysate generated from biomass contain sugars (such as glucose, xylose, fructose, arabinose and galactose) and inhibitors (such as furans, organic acids and phenols). However, inhibitors generally alters the sugar consumption, growth profile and metabolic activities of microorganisms. Hence, […]

Effects of Geomagnetic Disturbances on Power Transformers

Explosive eruptions on the sun’s surface eject charged particles that may travel the earth path. They cause disturbances in earth’s magnetic field and as a result, a low frequency current is induced in electrical power system transmission lines. The induced current increases operating temperature of power transformers. This overheating reduces lifetime of the transformer and […]

Signalling Bodies as Resistant: Coded Queerness in Visual Culture

Through historical research, I examine the role of queer history to demonstrate how, and in what ways, oppression evolves into resistance. Focusing on visual culture, such as photographs, home video’s and films, as well as ephemera, letters and personal papers, the goal is to shed light on the dark corners of queer history.
