This research project aims to develop culturally sensitive mental health programs for Indigenous pregnant girls and young mothers. The project will create intervention strategies promoting well-being and cultural empowerment by collaborating with Indigenous communities and drawing on traditional practices. Through interviews, community engagement, and data analysis, the intern will adapt successful models like “Mama Pods” […]

The healthcare sector generates an enormous amount of sensitive data, ranging from patient medical records to billing information. The mishandling or unauthorized access to such data can lead to significant legal, financial, and ethical consequences. Despite increasing awareness of the importance of data security, healthcare institutions often still employ outdated or inadequate encryption methods, posing […]

Zika virus is an important mosquito-transmitted human pathogen endemic to tropical and subtropical parts of the world and was responsible for the pandemic in South America in 2016. In pregnant women, the virus can cross the placenta and infect the brain of developing fetus leading to congenital abnormalities and life-long sequelae in newborn babies. Currently […]

Vertical jumping is important for athletic performance (for example, basketball, volleyball), but could also involve injury risk if done incorrectly. Our purpose is to explore whether a stretching program of the calf muscles enhances vertical jump performance and decreases some of the risk factors for injury in adolescent athletes. Having more flexible calf muscles increases […]

In this research project, the intern will use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models for multiphase flow to investigate particle deposition in the interceptor-pit of a carwash. Interceptor-pits are designed to remove the suspended sediment in the water that flows through the unit. The study will reproduce the geometry of the interceptor-pit and use numerical simulations […]

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing, global problem. Our arsenal of effective antibiotics against drug resistant bacteria and fungi is quite limited and innovative approaches are needed. Focusing on cannflavins, this proposal will evaluate if these hemp-derived molecules with anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effects (1) are candidates for interacting with pathogen protein targets, (2) are effective to […]

Business incubators have the proven ability to significantly improve the success rate of startup companies. A key factor in the potential for positive impact is ensuring alignment between the services and mission of the incubator and the needs and values of the startup company. An in-depth introduction program offers an innovative approach to assessing alignment […]

This project aims to enable Duesytech Online to provide services to match a customer’s technology service needs with the technologist or technician (tech) who is best equipped to provide that service. This matching is achieved through Machine Learning (ML) algorithms that are applied to find the best match given all the criteria set by the […]

Carbon dioxide is considered one of the main greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The gas causes huge environmental and social negative impacts. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce gas emissions to benefit the communities and societies. The project focuses on CO2 capture by amine solutions and solid materials. Besides the laboratory measurements, the work continues […]

Recent advances in genetic technology have significantly lowered the cost of molecular microbiology, opening the doors to application in the mineral exploration industry. The Geomicrobial Surveys proposed in this application represent a novel method for mineral exploration using the patterns of microbial communities as proxies for invisible subsurface features, like rare earth metal deposits. Because […]

Long-term decision making strategic investment planning under the condition of great uncertainty is of great importance to power utilities such as Manitoba Hydro. However, existing analysis methods lack the definition of clear formal methods to define the framework for these uncertainties nor to coordinate the decision-making methodologies to support the definition of robust investment programme […]
