Large earthquakes (mainshocks) are sometimes preceded by small-magnitude events called foreshocks. Foreshocks are the only detectable earthquake signals before the mainshock and thus, attract interest in using foreshocks’ properties to predict mainshock. It has been hypothesized a two end-member triggering mechanisms of foreshock, the cascade model and the aseismic slip model but results are often […]

Windsor, Ontario is recognized for its prowess in advanced manufacturing and automation and this project with PROTO Manufacturing Ltd. aims to draw from the innovative atmosphere of our region. PROTO is in the midst of developing a state-of-the-art robotic platform aimed at revolutionizing molecular structure determination—a vital component in diverse domains such as drug discovery […]

This project will compare and contrast how students in grades 4-6 learn art in Canada and China. This study explores how students in Canada and China learn art, how it’s taught and tested, and how their cultural backgrounds affect what they learn. How people in both countries think about art will also be explored. We […]

Biopharmaceuticals are pharmaceuticals that are produced in biological systems, as opposed to being made synthetically using purely chemical approaches. Biopharmaceuticals are becoming increasingly important today, as biological systems are very good at making pharmaceuticals with very precise activity within people and with fewer side effects. However, most of the conventional approaches used to make biopharmaceuticals […]

This project will explore the differences in food education between China and Canada. The intern will research how food-related education is implemented in Chinese public middle schools. This may appear in formal learning (eg home economics or nutrition class), or informal learning (eg, through government subsidized school lunch programming, or opportunities outside of school for […]

For my proposed research, I will primarily make participant observations in Chinese schools and classrooms to study the motivation factors that influence young English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in China, focusing on both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and their impact on language learning outcomes. Two specific motivation strategies I am planning to focus […]

Based on various research papers, present methods of Climate Change Education have been noted to instill feelings of eco-anxiety ultimately leading to avoidance of the topic. For students to be inspired to take meaningful action for a sustainable future, hopeful education is needed. Current methods of Climate Change Education will be observed in Canada and […]

Our project will be reviewing and comparing the differences in curriculum for kindergarten to grade 6 between Canada and China. We will conduct a comparative analysis of curricula, noting the variation in the topics, depth and span of the content. We will be observing how the different curriculum will be implemented in a classroom by […]

The objective of this research is to develop an Ontario-based Wastewater Management Standard (WWMS), which is aligned with the currently statutorily required Ontario Drinking Water Management Standard (DWQMS) and with ISO 14001 for environmental management systems. This proposed research will bring much needed standardization for the quality and environmental management for municipal and non-municipal wastewater […]

The intern will evaluate disparities in the use of diabetes technologies among individuals from historically marginalized communities in Canada, explore barriers and facilitators to use of diabetes technologies, and identify novel strategies to improve equitable use. The intern will determine associations between marginalization and the use of insulin pumps and CGM, as well as interactions […]

The main objective of this research project is to contribute to developing a model that can provide robust early warning to changes in influenza cases and help to reduce ILI spread globally. The model, Modified Exponential Growth Algorithm (MEGA), will characterize the early ascending phase of epidemic disease and will be used to detect changes […]
