Deformed fiberglass bars used to reinforce concrete has the potential for better bond to concrete than other types. Currently, design guides and codes for concrete structures include design provisions for bond strength of spaced bars only. Also, these provisions are based on sand-coated bars, which are different from deformed bars. Finally, code equations are based […]

My project for the Elevate Fellowship aimed to develop the “Narreme Engine” application to assess the validity of “Narreme Theory” — a concept I devised during my PhD, positing that stories consist of atomic narrative units called Narremes, which combine into more complex “Compounds” to convey narratives over time. The Narreme Engine sought to apply […]

The project develops innovative delivery of beginning literacy lessons. While learning to read and write stories of their own choosing, early learners have many urgent questions. Many of these questions have answers that can be easily explained using a multimedia demonstration. Children can access the answers independently, on demand, when the answers are in a […]

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is proven beneficial for patients with cardiovascular diseases. Currently, most healthcare systems in China provides limited CR program toward patients after the cardiac intervention. This is particularly true among the rural areas. Home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) is used to alternative center (hospital) based in many developed countries. In this proposed research, a […]

This project will help PandoPartner train its clients on how to use our software to better their sponsorship marketing operations, as well as help PandoPartner promote its software. It will involve the creation of User Guide Content & client resources, Marketing materials, and more to help clients and prospects understand how they can leverage PandoPartner’s […]

Scoring essays is important for learning and business. With AI and machine learning, we can save time and resources by automating the process. This project looks at automatic essay grading from three angles. First, we generate more data using automatic methods called data programming. This helps improve the machine learning models. Then, we refine the […]

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

The proposed project is to develop a method to cross-couple organic feedstock molecules using base metals and photocatalysts. The method will utilize photocatalysts to convert inert C-H bonds into highly reactive radicals that can be captured using a base metal catalyst. The hydrogen atom is an ideal coupling handle, considering its abundance in organic molecules […]

Linamar aims to advance the development of computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools for the design of highpressure hydrogen storage cylinders in transportation applications. This research project focuses on characterizing the deformation behavior and fracture characteristics of two specific two-dimensional (2D) biaxially braided carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials.

The goal is to support inclusive economic development in Toronto through understanding current gaps and providing an evidence-based approach to monitoring progress over time. This research aims to assess the degree to which Toronto’s economic growth has been ‘inclusive’ in the past 20 years, assess how Toronto compares to other peer jurisdictions, and provide policy […]

Parenting is challenged by the pace of change in information technology, impacting child development and parent-child relationships. Children learn and grow in online environments and their development, perspectives and understanding of the world are impacted by multiple communities, which creates risks to safety, relationships and experiences. Supporting technologies will help bridge this gap, intervening with […]
