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

The proposed project aims to investigate the effectiveness of using music-based interventions (MBIs) to enhance memory and cognitive function in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), particularly Mandarin Chinese-speaking individuals. The project involves two main objectives: a behavioral study to assess the impact of music-assisted verbal learning on memory recall, and an fMRI study to […]

Semiconducting polymers (SPs) are at the forefront of the next generation of organic electronics. They enable seamless integration into various biological and industrial applications. SPs can be engineered to be mechanically compliant and soft, giving them an advantage over silicon-based electronics. Their electronic and solid-state properties also make them promising candidates for emerging organic electronics. […]

High performing asphalt pavements are vital to the continual operation of North America’s transportation network. Asphalt, which is a mixture of asphalt cement, aggregates, and fillers, is paved at high temperatures and compacted to provide a smooth, waterproof, and safe wearing coarse for vehicles. Over the 15-to-20-year lifespan of the pavement, the asphalt surface can […]

Understanding the underlying factors that cause inherited diseases to develop is an important step in improving the health status of individuals, and identifying effective prevention and control measures. This project aims to apply fundamental know of genetics, genome sequence analysis, modeling and simulations, and bio-informatics to uncover the relationship between these factors and assess the […]

The aim of this project is to explore how ELLs’ (English language learners) self-criticism in sounding native-like affect their language learning motivation in Canadian and Chinese universities. Although achieving a ‘native-like’ pronounciation is far from being proficient in a language, many language learners’ goals are to sound linguistically authentic for many different reasons. It is […]

This project proposes the development of a comprehensive Portable Charging System (PCS) for Electric Vehicles (EVs) integrating Level III DC fast charging and wireless charging technologies. The system aims to enhance EV charging convenience and flexibility by providing a compact and portable solution for on-the-go charging. The Level III DC fast charging capability ensures rapid […]
