Valorization of Byproducts from Bio-diesel and Pulp/Paper Plants into Green Chemicals and Fuels

Glycerol is generated in a large quantity as a byproduct in bio-diesel plants, and hence utilization of crude glycerol for value-added chemicals (such as 1,2-propanediol – an important commodity material used in the production of polyester resins and pharmaceuticals) will yield both economic and environmental benefits to bio-diesel plants. On the other hand, the declined […]

A study of the efficacy of IAMT as an assessment tool for prediction of progression of Parkinson’s Disease

The research project aims to investigate the efficacy of Improvised Active Music Therapy (IAMT) in assessing the motor and cognitive functioning of patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD). As an emerging treatment, music therapy has been embraced as an effective rehabilitation alternative for neurodegenerative conditions, such as PD. In IAMT, the music therapist facilitates a spontaneous […]

Seismic Behaviour of Mass Timber Beam Hanger Connections

The need for more sustainable buildings has driven demand for tall mass timber structures in Canada. However, these structures must be designed to prevent structural collapse and protect human life in the event of a large earthquake. As a result, it is crucial that the structural members and their connections be designed to have sufficient […]

Empathy and synchronization in social and non-social contexts

Synchronization with others appear to promote empathy and people with higher empathy are better at synchronizing to others. Why there is this bidirectional relationship between empathy and synchronization is unclear, but a prevailing theory suggests that the ability to perceive yourself as another (i.e., internal simulation) is responsible. The current study will help in understanding […]
