The project aims to analyze the existing psychoeducational materials that exist for individuals who have experienced psychosis and their families. A focus group will be developed to explore what skills or knowledge might support family members of individuals who are experiencing or have experienced psychosis. Using this focus group, we will develop educational materials with […]

At Western university, I have done lots of research for different sizes of gold nanoparticles/nanoclusters using different instruments (TOF-SIMS etc.) for characterizations of these gold nanomaterials. Dr. Per Malmberg group at Chalmers University of Technology, is an expert of TOF-SIMS (surface characterization method) and in addition NanoSIMS. Dr. Malmberg’s NanoSIMS (a better surface characterization method […]

Dans le cadre du développement des sources de production d’énergie renouvelable comme le photovoltaique et l’éolien, il est primordial de développer un réseau électrique plus flexible que celui reposant typiquement sur des sources conventionnelles. Un réseau flexible et intelligent (smart grid) permet en effet de s’adapter au mieux aux profils de production et demande. Un […]

My project is a comparative history of water development in Chile and British Columbia during the twentieth century. It explores how different societies conceptualized and responded to climatic uncertainty by comparing how Chilean and Canadian engineers involved in water infrastructure projects – namely, hydroelectric and irrigation development schemes – anticipated and dealt with extreme floods […]

Canada, Mexico, and United States are members of a free trade agreement (USMCA), which seek to build stronger local supply chains and stimulate financing in strategic industries, such as lithium batteries, semiconductor chips, and green energy sources. Because, due to the pandemic situation and the reduction of chips production, companies, and government from USMCA are […]

Quantum chemistry techniques can only be used in small-scale systems and the structure of biomolecules like proteins cannot be effectively examined by them. So, it is essential to develop a workable solution that could be applied to larger systems. Finding such a solution will then enable us to investigate the structure of larger molecules like […]

Considering the lack of a systematic and contextual revision of the academic knowledge in organizational communication developed in Latin America, and yet a consistent and increased development of the field of organizational communication in this region of the world, the research project aims to present a portrait of this field from and for the South. […]

Printed electronics is a field of electronics that involves printing of electronic devices and components on a variety of substrates, including paper, plastic, and textiles. This technology uses printing techniques including inkjet printing, screen printing and gravure printing to create circuits, sensors, displays and other electronic devices. Advantages of printed electronics include low-cost production, design […]

It is aimed to design and optimize a system which uses solar energy for electrification as well as providing the required electricity for pumping water. A Photovoltaic-battery autonomous standalone system will be considered. Furthermore, in some areas the radiation is lessened due to bad weather conditions. Therefore, it is common to use batteries to provide […]

The developmental programming of an organism ensures reproducibility of organ shape and size with accurate robustness. But, how an organ knows when to grow and when to stop is a key question that remains inadequately addressed. Both genetics and mechanics play a role in the maintenance of organ reproducibility and robustness, especially in plants. Mechanical […]

This project will conduct a systematic study on Master Taixu’s thoughts on layman education. Master Taixu was a pioneer in the reform of modern Buddhism and had a profound impact on the development of modern Buddhism. As the vast majority of Buddhist belief groups, lay Buddhists are the main participants in family and social activities, […]

Prajna and Nagarjuna’s Philosophy, whose main character is to dispel, eliminate, and integrate, has gained a new meaning structure after Tiantai Zhiyi’s interpretation. Judging from the appearance of the teachings, Prajna brings together the general teaching and other teachings, while the right teaching is the perfect teaching. In terms of insight wisdom, the wisdom of […]
