Forests play a vital role in the environment, biodiversity, and human societies. To safeguard these crucial ecosystems, effective risk assessment and management strategies are essential. Our initiative employs Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis, Geographic Information Systems, Remote Sensing, and satellite imagery to assess and alleviate risks to forest species. This approach integrates diverse variables to create comprehensive […]

This project aims to provide much needed evidence to community organizations who want to use evaluation findings to better understand how to support vulnerable children and their families in schools. The All in for Youth initiative and its collaborative partners offer integrated, wraparound supports to improve academic outcomes and resiliency of vulnerable children, support family […]

The proposed project is for the intern to develop an algorithm to decide on the suitability of a group of chemical compounds to transfer from one detection instrument (low throughput) to another detection instrument (high throughput). For ease of use and cost considerations it is preferable for these chemical compounds to measured using a high […]

Buried pipeline systems form a key part of effective and safe infrastructures for the transportation of natural resources such as natural gas and liquid. However, they may be constructed in areas prone to landslides where ground movement may exert excessive strains on the pipe sections causing rupture. This project develops and presents a methodology for […]

This project seeks to enhance the impact of leadership training and development by evaluating the effectiveness of a digital program tailored for early-career leaders. Despite the vital role of leadership training, its success often remains uncertain. This research program, spanning two years, aims to bridge this gap by conducting three studies. Study 1 will validate […]

It’s estimated that more than half of all fish species in Canada are threatened by anthropogenic pressures, including pollution. Two chemical classes that are ubiquitous in freshwater ecosystems- polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and benzotriazole ultraviolet stabilizers (BUVSs) – can cause toxicity to early life-stages of fishes by activating of the aryl hydrocarbon (Ah) receptor protein. […]

Independent retailers can’t compete with the convenience and assortment offered by online and omnichannel retailers. At Fitzba.com, we are making local shopping as convenient as online. Our product development team is in a race to achieve product-market fit. We need a Brand UX intern to help us design the website’s user interface. But the other […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

We are studying how to transport CO2 efficiently and safely after capturing it from places like power plants. To do this, we have to compress the CO2 above a specific point to avoid any problems during transportation. But this compressed CO2 can be very corrosive and harmful to the materials used in pipelines, especially steel. […]

The proposed research project aims to explore and study natural substances called antioxidants that can be found in plants native to Canada. Antioxidants from plants are natural products that promote wellness by protecting our bodies from harmful molecules called free radicals. Certain plants that flourish under the conditions found in the Canadian prairies are likely […]

The clinical and cost effectiveness of immunizing children WIth PCV7 and PCV13 is well established in the scientific literature. However the success of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines in children has given rise to questions from payers regarding whether continued investment in PCV13 for children is needed. The proposed research project undertaken by the intern will help […]

FluidPlanet.org produces and publishes digital twins (virtual versions of real places) for academic, educational and enterprise use. By combining the latest technologies in mapping (GIS), sensors (IoT) and visualization (gaming), we create realistic looking and behaving simulations of real locations. These can then be populated with virtual people, animals and buildings to tell stories that […]
