Sexual assault support centres and services across Canada are working to adapt their resources to the reality that an increasing number of young Canadians are meeting romantic and sexual partners through geo-social networking apps (GSNAs): dating and hook-up apps like Tinder and Bumble. Combined, the world’s top four GSNAs have over 90 million users. While […]

This community-based research project is a collaboration with a not-for-profit Indigenous partner organization, the Gwich’in Renewable Resources Board, that explores the impact of permafrost degradation on ?uk dagaii (broad whitefish, Coregonus nasus) habitat in the Peel River Watershed, Northwest Territories. A postdoctoral intern leading this research will use spatial overlay analysis combining Indigenous and scientific […]

À la suite d’une demande spécifique du partenaire souhaitant obtenir des données probantes pour documenter les potentiels bienfaits psychologiques ressentis par les grimpeurs de tout âge et de tout niveau, le présent projet souhaite évaluer les effets psychologiques perçus de la pratique de l’escalade en salle en identifiant ainsi qu’en comparant les divers profils des […]

Narrow-vein steeply dipping deposits are challenging to mine economically because they are poorly oriented for surface mining, and underground mining normally requires development of extensive underground infrastructure before mining the vein. Memorial University is collaborating with Novamera for the development of innovative narrow-vein mining technology called Sustainable Mining by Drilling (SMD). The SMD technology is […]

The current project aims to design and optimize the cryogenic CO2 capture process in terms of CO2 removal efficiency and energy requirement. The serious concern of global warming due to increasing CO2 emission has urged policymakers to employ various CO2 capture methods. Note that among different CO2 capture methods, the cryogenic capture is a favorable […]

Scientists use hydrophones (underwater microphones) to listen and record to ocean sounds from marine wildlife as well as ship noise. To produce trusted results, hydrophones must be calibrated using tanks. This is done by checking the hydrophone measurements against reference sounds. Scientists can easily calibrate hydrophones for sounds that are very high pitch and very […]

With the development of imaging technology, camera trapping becomes one of the best ways to record the presence and activities of large mammals in a given area. The approach to monitoring the animals can assist people in the community with decision making about preserving biodiversity. In the past, experts analyzed such images manually, which required […]

Moderco Inc. produit des cloisons amovibles en vitrage double qui doivent respecter des exigences d’isolation acoustique, principalement vis-à-vis des bruits de conversation. De façon générale, la double cloison (deux panneaux séparés par une cavité d’air) est un principe de construction très répandu, qui garantit une perte par transmission acoustique élevée en même temps qu’une structure […]

Many seniors are spending their time lying in bed or sitting in recumbent chairs because of chronic conditions that limit their mobility. It is crucial to assure that their position is changed regularly to prevent bedsores. Therefore, a monitoring system is required to not only remind the caregivers or family members to reposition the patients […]

By combining the information contained in the visual, audio and text content of videos, it is possible to extract complex information about their content. It’s then possible to analyse a query from a search engine to find the video segments that best matches this query. During this project, the intern will be using state-of-the-art deep […]

The overall goal of this research project is to analyse and understand the gaps and needs of the functioning of the subnational legislatures in Ukraine concerning their mandate, composition, and the performance of their legislative, oversight and representation roles, including their engagement with the civil organizations and the local communities. Based on the analysis, recommendations […]

Using simplified language understandable to a layperson; provide a general, one-paragraph description of the proposed research project to be undertaken by the intern(s) as well as the expected benefit to the partner organization. (100 – 150 words) A series of laboratory tests and field trials will be carried out to validate the capability and performance […]
