The inquiry will involve observations of two Chinese classrooms of different grades (11, 12), research of articles examining stress levels and academic success, and observations of after-school programs in order to gauge the available academic support for students in high-stress positions. I will refer to the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) results between Canada […]

Using maps is an integral part of our life especially in our digital era whether it is for navigation, used in geographic information system,resources monitoring, surveying and many others. The pace of technological progress in the mapping sensors is rapidly accelerating. LIDAR sensors and optical sensors are two different types of mapping sensors. LIDAR and […]

Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. Despite of development of arsenal of medications to treat cancer, the efficiency of marketed medications has been drastically compromised by their unwanted and uncomfortable side effects. To address this problem, we have developed new nano-sized drug transportation carriers to deliver the drugs to the tumor tissue and […]

Design problems need creative solving method, solution and specific knowledge and experience. Design problems and solution methodologies have been studied for many decades. Environment-Based Design (EBD) method is one of the modern and comprehensive methods which reflects the state of art in the design methodologies. In this project EBD technics including environment analysis, right-questions presentation, […]

Poisonous mushrooms play important roles in the ecosystems they inhabit, yet they produce chemical toxins that can be lethal when ingested, making these fungi interesting organisms to study. Many species of Amanita mushrooms contain toxins that result in hundreds of deaths globally every year. While numerous studies have examined the chemical properties of these toxins […]

Meat contamination is a severe public health risk and therefore the development of highly precise, rapid, and reliable monitoring devices are necessary. Chemical hazards in meat such as the presence of nitrites and antibiotic residues have potentially carcinogenic, toxic, and/or allergenic effects when exceeding threshold limits set by governing health agencies. Conventional methods to monitor […]

Observations of large numbers of galaxies in the universe have shown that the vast proportion of galaxies are either blue in colour and actively forming stars, or red in colour with little to no star formation. One goal of the study of galaxy formation is to establish any physical links between these types of galaxies. […]

The research project deals with the development of a targeted drug delivery system for cancer treatment. This drug delivery system features the use of nanoparticles (NPs) as efficient carriers for cancer drugs. Current cancer therapy regularly involves the use of chemotherapy to kill cancer cells; however, chemotherapy affects normal healthy cells and patients may experience […]

I would like to study how play based learning is used and viewed in the Chinese school system, and how children learn through play in these conditions. Through observation I intend to examine classroom structures in the primary grades, kindergarten to grade 3, in Chinese school system, and observe how students learn through play from […]

I would like to study what history is emphasized in Chinese middle and high school classrooms. Through observation, I would like to see what elements of Chinese history are focused on, and in turn, how this may contribute to the Chinese identity. Compared to Canada, China has a rich history spanning thousands of years, yet […]

Current wastewater treatment facilities are relatively large and located in centralized populated areas. A major issue arises in an area such as Tianjin China because there are a number a small communities and villages located a great distance away from the centralized treatment plant within the city. Because of this, those villages require a transportation […]

Failure of a material under a repetitive load is called (mechanical) fatigue. Our goal is to substantially improve the understanding of the fatigue process by following continuously the material’s properties/response to a specific type of load during a test. We have developed some understanding for tests in torsion, allowing us to detect macroscopic cracks instantaneously […]
