The objective of the “rTMS for post-covid-19 condition: A sham-controlled case series involving iTBS-300 and iTBS-600” project is to determine the efficacy, feasibility, and tolerability of several iTBS variants (iTBS-300, iTBS-600) and sham stimulation in PCC patients. Secondarily, the aim is to examine signs of improvement in cognitive, affective, and functional symptoms following each iTBS […]

This narrative inquiry, situated within Xu and Connelly’s SSHRC Partnership Grant Project, has two purposes: (1) understanding the strengths of the generalist teaching model in Canadian elementary schools and the specialist teaching model in Chinese elementary schools in mathematics education, and (2) investigating what can be reciprocally learned in terms of curriculum and pedagogies for […]

Women are the fastest growing prison population in both Canada and Australia. This heightens the need for gender-specific health care, including abortion care, for incarcerated individuals. In order to identify barriers to accessing abortion in prisons in Canada, I previously co-created an inventory of the facilities in Canada designated to incarcerate women and calculated the […]

Le but du projet est de concevoir un dispositif sur papier pour la détection du lactate dans les cellules en culture. Le lactate est un sous-produit du métabolisme et un marqueur du caractère invasif du cancer. En effet, les tumeurs deviennent hypoxiques durant leur croissance, ce qui altère le métabolisme. La consommation de glucose dans […]

The objective of this research project is to systematically review and analyze existing literature on Japanese international nursing missions to understand the scope and impact of these missions on a global scale. This will involve examining the various aspects of Japanese nursing missions on global healthcare, including the geographical reach, activities, outcomes, and understanding their […]

We propose to combine large language models with transdermal optical imaging (a novel contactless imaging technology we invented to decode human psychophysiology) to develop an AI-assisted tutor to teach children mathematical problem-solving while monitoring their psychophysiology. This research endeavors to bridge the gap between technological innovation and pedagogical efficacy. The seamless integration of these advancements […]

Photonic technologies offer promising prospects for quantum information processing and simulations. Quantum states are usually encoded in photonic degrees of freedom like polarization and spatial modes, enabling the mimicking of target evolutions via a number of devices linearly growing with their temporal extension. This constraint intrinsically makes them lossy and inadequate for extreme quantum dynamics, […]

Our proposed project will examine how invasive species spread. We plan to address this question by studying an invasive fish species, the round goby, and compare individuals at the invasion front with individuals in the established areas of the range on two continents (Europe and North America). Our aim is to determine if there is […]

A PhD student from the IMDEA Nanoscience research institute in Spain will travel to Canada for an internship at the University of British Columbia. This internship will initiate a new collaboration to develop materials, methods, and devices for detecting a protein malfunction in white blood cells that reflects the emergence of the neurodegenerative disease, amyotrophic […]

Climate change is a significant challenge we’re facing today, affecting ecosystems, economies, and societies globally. In Canada, there’s a strong push to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, with British Columbia leading the charge through initiatives like CleanBC, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030. In order to support these goals, the British […]

Déterminer les lois de scalabilité du cadre algorithmique GPBO pour l’appliquer à la résolution de n’importe quelle disponibilité de ressource physique en termes de mémoire et capacité computationnelle, à partir des microcontrôleurs jusqu’au clusters de computation. En particulier, évaluer : 1) le contraintes physiques et mathématiques qui déterminent la fonction multivariée entre la disponibilité de […]
