Homotopy Type Theory is a formal system that conjecturally can be used as a foundation for Mathematics. It has at least two advantages over other existing foundations of Mathematics. It has a flexible language in which the notion of space is as primitive as the notion of set, thus making it easier to work with […]

The project will undertake a review of the existing and ongoing research in the field of InsurTech. Here, “InsurTech” refers to the marriage of insurance and technology with a goal to transform the insurance industry by using modern technologies to generate efficiencies. It is proposed to develop new technology based solutions for more realistic insurance […]

Research on assessment accommodations for students with disabilities is well-documented in the literature. Assessment accommodations are the arrangements made by the teacher such as allocation of more time on the tests to give disability students a fair and equal opportunity to show their learning as well as possible. However, much of the research on this […]

Desertification and arid region expansion are critical global change issues. Temperature, variability in precipitation, extended drought periods, and radiation are probable factors affecting the function of foundations shrubs. The changes in the above weather parameters are primarily due to anthropogenic climate change that significantly modifies physical and biological systems in all continents. Micro-climatic-driven behavioural plasticity […]

The overall goal of our work is to use novel genetically modified rodent models to determine how two gene regulatory proteins known as ‘TIPARP’ and ‘AHR’ interact to influence mammalian responses to an important class of chemical toxicants that are found in certain foods and in the environment. These include the potential pesticide contaminant dioxin […]

Since the U.S. Common Core State Standards for Mathematics were introduced in 2010, states have been grappling with the implementation of revised mathematics instruction. Implementation challenges have meant fewer students are adequately prepared for the elementary to middle school transition. Educators’ professional learning networks (PLNs) may be effective in addressing this issue, yet minimal research […]

This project is designed to create a strong plan for both the environmental and economic sustainability of the Haliburton Highlands Land Trust and the properties they manage through the ecological gifts program. Another benefit to this project for the Haliburton Highlands Land Trust is that donors are much more likely to contribute land and dollars […]
