Pharmacists are providing increasingly patient-centered clinical services such as Pharmacists Prescribing for Minor Ailments (PPMA). However, several factors delay pharmacists’ ability to implement PPMA including integration with workflow and time constrains. Technology solutions aim to support PPMA can be important innovative tools to help pharmacists to perform PPMA. The aim of this project is to […]

Working directly with the Growth team, under the supervision of the Marketing Manager, the intern will jump two feet into Anovas current projects. Anova is a small but mighty team working with tools like HootSuite, Canva, MailChimp & Monday.com; Anova takes pride in seeing other fertility clinics struggle to keep up with its ontent and […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has produced a heightened interest in, and need for, mutual aid: a collective effort to meet community needs and redistribute resources. Mutual aid has been a long-standing practice of Black communities, and existed before terms like ‘caremongering’, ‘crowdfunding’ and ‘the sharing economy’ became popularized. Mutual aid is also more than just a […]

La factorisation matricielle nonnégative (FMN) est une méthode populaire d’analyse de données consistant à exprimer les données comme une combinaison linéaire nonnégative d’un petit nombre de facteurs caractéristiques nonnégatifs. Cela permet de réduire la taille des données, de filtrer le bruit présent dans celles-ci et de mieux les comprendre et les analyser. Cette technique possède […]

The use of new monitoring technologies such as the Motus wildlife tracking system and autonomous recorders currently allow detection of animals and their movements in a variety of ecosystems. Although, the biology of migratory birds in northern latitudes is well understood, there is a lack of information on migration routes, stopovers, and overwinter sites in […]

Bacterial cultures are sometimes added to groundwater to increase the rate of degradation of contaminants. Three cultures that are able to completely biodegrade their primary compound to non-toxic end products in the absence of oxygen have been enriched from contaminated soils. The goal of this project is to demonstrate the efficacy of these cultures in […]

The YWCA aims to evaluate, through partnership with McMaster University, the impact of Good Beginnings, a program providing support for mothers/birthing parents who are vulnerable, precarious, and at-risk for postpartum depression. The program provides service for approximately 70 postpartum people and their babies annually, for a total of 500 people since 2014. During these six […]

Titanium alloys are used to manufacture aerospace components that require high strength at high operating temperatures such fan blades, heat shields and jet engine exhaust cones. Parts that have complex geometries are commonly formed at high temperature (around 900°C) so as to achieve maximum ductility during the forming process. By applying a small oscillating load […]

Multicellular organisms begin as a single cell with instructions encoded by the genome. During development this cell multiplies many times generating an enormous number of cells, each with its own specialized role. For example, developed humans are composed of trillions of cells but our organs and limbs have the right form, location, and function with […]

Additive manufacturing is rapidly employing the Internet of Things and cyber-physical systems to facilitate its reliability and relieve human supervision. However, with 5G network and cloud computing intertwining with the physical machines placed locally, the service is vulnerable to prospective cyberattacks. Various researchers have already stressed the urgent need to ensure the users’ and businesses’ […]

Many Canadians currently do not meet government guidelines for weekly physical activity, particularly among people who identify as women. Media health (mHealth) such as fitness apps and tracking devices can help people to be more physically active. One such resource that has been developed for individuals living in Canada is the ParticipACTION mobile app. However, […]
