The alkylation of benzene is receiving increased attention in petrochemical industry. This is because it is potentially an alternative to produce xylene (used in production of polyester and plastic water bottles) from coal and natural gas. It is expected that changing the acidity of the reaction catalyst would improve the utilization of methanol in the […]

C2+ oxygenates synthesis directly from syngas is one of the most promising processes for utilizing non-oil fossil fuels cleanly and efficiently. Through previous experiments, it has been found that the reaction rates and selectivity of C2+ oxygenates increases remarkably with the addition of MnOx. However, the detailed mechanism for the promotional effect of MnOx on […]

This research will involve working alongside the community of Inuvik, NWT to develop culturally safe solutions to address men’s boating safety behaviours in the northern Canada. The intern will spend time in Inuvik to learn about men’s water safety practices in the community. Benefits to the research participants, communities, and NWT Recreation and Parks Association […]

The aim of project is to establish a secure remote proxy connection between two parties where one party is behind a firewall or say NAT. This strategy is required in Martello’s product, MarWatch where technician is remotely located from client. In case, client faces any trouble, services from technician are invoked making sure they do […]

The quality of projected video plays a huge role in the digital projector market. Methods to increase the quality of projected video at lower costs are constantly being researched. A promising approach to reducing cost and increasing the quality of viewed video is the combination of up-converting the frame rate of high-resolution video and projecting […]

There is an urgent need for the development of new tools that can provide a relatively highthroughput, objective assessment of brain function in individuals with neurodevelopmental, neurodegenerative or psychiatric disorders. The overarching objective of this research proposal is to use eye movement tasks to identify biomarkers that can be used in the assessment of brain […]

Currently, developing 3D pipeline GIS (Geographical Information System) with 3D data interoperability is not only highly required by pipeline industry but also essential for building 3D SDI (Spatial Data Infrastructure). This project proposes a novel approach to develop a new 3D GIS Web Services framework and components that is suitable for 3D Pipeline GIS and […]

The GEOIMPACT project aims to study several meteorite impact craters in Canada by using geophysical methods (for example seismic waves, electricity or magnetism). In the Solar System, meteorite impact craters are the most abundant morphologic features on rocky bodies (planets, asteroids) such as the Moon and Mars. However, the Earth has only about 180 known […]

OrthoEvidence gathers the most up-to-date, high-impact literature articles, summarizes them and sends out Advanced Clinical Evidence (ACE) reports to subscribers. A random group of residents in Pune, India at the Sancheti Institute of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation will have access to the mobile app?s targeted OrthoEvidence ACE reports based on their specialty while the control group […]

In embryos, cell differentiation occurs via the formation of spatial gradients of molecules called morphogens, which control the expression of a number of target genes determining cell identity. A common model system to study morphogen is the Bicoid gradient, which determine anterio-posterior patterning in the Drosophila fly. Here we propose to apply novel methods in […]

The proposed internship project deals with the compilation and preparation of relevant scientific content for the Association for Preservation Technology International (APTI) Technical Committee on Sustainable Preservation, which is currently developing an innovative ?Online Sustainable Conservation Assistance Resource.? Also known as OSCAR, this tool is aimed at becoming an ?interactive resource that establishes a clear […]

The project ? Strategic Asset Allocation from a Canadian Investment Perspective ? will focus on the efficient allocation design for a Canadian investor. This will be achieved throughforecasting of long-term (5-10 years) expected returns of Canadian fixed income and equities, as well as US and global equities. The forecasts mostly rely on economic/fundamental analysis such […]
