Liang Shuming’s”reciprocal centeredness”shows us a new way of gaining rights, he suggests that the realization of one’s personal rights will be naturally entitled via his fulfillment of necessary obligations.It’s likely that people lead a meaningful life among harmonious interactions rather than through the “outward demand” of rights,though the status he assigned to rights needs to […]

Creative research to investigate what types of Augmented Reality experiences cause users to feel co-presence. A set of prototypes will be created that explore different ways that users can experience presence in virtual worlds at the same time as other users. A publicly accessible artwork in Victoria, BC, will be created based on learnings from […]

Access to appropriate mental health services is critically limited for many people living in low and middle-income countries. Making services for depression available in primary health care increases the successful diagnosis and treatment of depression and improves the quality of people’s lives. As the first point of contact with patients, primary care workers are essential […]

The system mainly relies on the power transfer in a wireless manner. It means no wire is required for charging the objects like cellphone, laptops, etc. anymore. Given that the partner focus is mainly on the wireless power transfer and that the proposed system can transfer the power in a wireless domain, the partner can […]

Our proposed research project aims to answer the overall question: how do new arthritis medications taken during pregnancy affect mothers and their children? Many types of arthritis strike in females during their childbearing years. Even though we now know more about the effects of arthritis drugs when taken during pregnancy, the picture is not yet […]

Urban streams are commonly unsuitable for salmon. One reason is pollution that rainfall washes from roads into waterways. For instance, coho salmon are very sensitive to a car tire additive present in road dust. It has killed adults before they spawn and likely affects young salmon too. This problem has been described in the US […]

Our proposed research project aims to answer the overall question: what is the actual risk of infections or cardiovascular events for patients with inflammatory arthritis that take novel arthritis medication (biologics) and how does it compare between different classes of these drugs, in real-world settings? As well as asking if the safety and effectiveness of […]

Holdr aims to modernize the fan club experience by offering artists an easy way to partner with their most dedicated fans. This initiative promotes inclusivity within the music industry, ensuring every artist, regardless of their background or resources, has equal access to opportunities.

This study will assess the behaviour, physiology, reproduction and survival of individual birds breeding on reclaimed mine tailings and waste rock, and will provide a robust measure of the effectiveness of reclamation efforts on the Highland Valley Copper operating area. By examining a range of life-history traits in two ecologically distinct species, and comparing birds […]

This project aims to develop a user-friendly visualization system for Thrive Health, a digital health solutions company. The visualization interface will be designed to effectively present a person’s health journey. This will be particularly helpful for patients with complex health conditions, as it will enable them to communicate their situation more clearly to their healthcare […]

Humpback whales are filter feeders that can engulf massive quantities of prey. However, because of their indiscriminate feeding strategies, humpback whales often ingest more than their intended prey alone. Alongside fish and zooplankton, microplastics are likely becoming a frequent menu item for humpback whales foraging along the coastlines of BC. Microplastics are a concerning environmental […]

This research is to develop a gallium nitride-based transistor used in high-power applications such as in electric vehicles and in solar power grids. Current gallium nitride transistors break down around 600-800 V. We propose to develop a technology that enable them to have more than 1200 V breakdown voltages. We also keep the balance between […]
