This project will involve the calculation of a global country risk measure for each of the 45 countries included in MSCI All Country World Index. Two alternative approaches will be used to develop our measures. The first is based on market segmentation and will use, for each country, the GICS industry group data consisting of […]

The decline of Pacific salmon on the south and central coast of British Columbia has resulted in well-recognized economic, ecological, and cultural impacts. Numerous factors are considered to have contributed, including marine conditions, climate change, and changes to freshwater habitats. Forest harvesting is often considered to have altered freshwater habitats where salmon spawn and rear […]

Youth concussion rates are rising nationally. Accordingly, efforts are being made to enable the recovery of injured youth. However, little is known about what recovery ‘is’ from the perspective of youth (eg, the care youth need to support recovery). This represents a major gap in knowledge of youth concussion. This research project will partner with […]

Violacein is a molecule naturally produced in some bacteria such as Chromobacterium violaceum. It has been shown that violacein has promising antibiotic, anti-tumor proliferation, anti-leishmanial and anti-fungal properties. Violacein is commercially available. However, it is very expensive. The objective of this proposed research study is to measure the effects of violacein produced by Escherichia coli […]

Currently, embryo implantation success rates in in vitro fertilization (IVF) are low, partly due to subjective and invasive tests. An assay that can quantify embryo potential while preserving its integrity is necessary. Small RNA sequences, microRNAs (miRNAs), are promising, quantifiable, and non-intrusive markers of developmental potential in embryos. Due to ethical concerns with human embryos […]

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

Bagged salads have been linked to foodborne illness outbreaks implicating Salmonella, E coli and Listeria. It was commonly believed that the post-harvest washing applied prior to bagging would remove field-acquired contamination. However, through various lines of research has illustrated that washing can result in cross-contamination of produce rather than decontamination. The majority of research performed […]

The City of Toronto, as a sanctuary city, is committed to ensuring that “residents have full rights to access City services without fear, regardless of their immigration status”. Consultation on the renewal of the Toronto Newcomer revealed that the City falls short of this commitment with regards to issues of safety that involve the Toronto […]
