The intern will analyze pre- and post-training survey and interview data from the SARE Centre’s EAAA Train the Trainer workshops in order to improve the quality of this training. These surveys/interviews assess trainees’ previous experience, skills, knowledge, and confidence in relevant areas as indicators of the workshop’s effectiveness. The intern will also conduct exploratory research […]

L’utilisation des antibiotiques pour améliorer la croissance chez les animaux a contribué à l’émergence d’une résistance aux antibiotiques. D’où la nécessité de développer des alternatives à l’usage des antibiotiques. Dans ce contexte, ce projet vise à développer une alternative économique, efficace et écologique, soit une formulation à base de levures à l’utilisation d’antibiotiques chez le […]

The Ciena Environment for Network Innovation (CENI) is a research project at Ciena which looks in to future computer communications networks with special focus on increased capacity (bandwidth) and control (SDN, or Software Defined Networks). This project operates an international testing network that connects Ciena’s Ottawa research facility to university based network researchers in Chicago, […]

The alignment of the dissertation and the CE in terms of preparing students as researchers in today’s environment or for innovative work outside the academy is in question. The purposes and structures of these basic PhD components have not changed significantly since the origin of the modern PhD, which was developed primarily as a vocational […]

Thales Canada Avionique développe entre autres des produits constitués de calculateurs (des modules contenant des cartes électroniques constituant des ordinateurs) jumelés à des modules d’interfaces, utilisés présentement à bord d’avions d’affaires produit par Textron, Bombardier Inc et Gulfstream Aerospace. Ces produits contiennent un nombre trop important de composants électroniques discrets de basses et hautes tensions […]

UBC and Microsoft intend to collaborate on an applied research project where 3D models of the brain will be used to create an interactive Holographic lecture using Microsoft’s new augmented reality device, the HoloLens. The will form the basis for a lesson or “HoloLecture,” and will feature new interactions to take advantage of the HoloLens’s […]

To investigate whether IO alters skeletal muscle adiponectin sensitivity and the mechanisms involved. 1. We will use L6 skeletal muscle cells treated with iron to determine if excess iron leads to adiponectin resistance. 2. We will examine temporal regulation of i) NLRP3 inflammasome and ii) oxidative stress by IO and using gain or loss of […]

The regeneration of the moss layer after a disturbance has been studied in different ecosystems, for example in harvested and burned forests, in borrow pits for road construction, on mine tailings and in peatlands. Bryophytes play a key role in the soil formation, particularly in terms of the considerable amount of terrestrial biomass they represent […]

This project seeks to explore the historical relationship between disability, technology and society, with a focus on Canada, but with global applicability. Through rigorous secondary, primary, oral and archival research, the team will investigate historical instances of innovation, technological use and activism by and for people with disabilities, building relationships and conducting oral interviews with […]

A large number of civil engineering structures in North America have long survived their expected service life. As they continue to age, there is a significant demand to minimize damage under severe environmental impacts such as earthquake. The main objective of this project is to develop and validate vibration-based monitoring and control strategies using modern […]

Title of the Project: Smart Oceans:Instrumented, Interconnected, Intelligent Systems for Efficient Data Analysis and Querying This project proposes three main objectves. The first two objectives serve to provide a deeper investigation of the problem space while the third objective will build on this investigation by exploring the application of new technologies to this problem domain. […]

The phonology of a second language (L2) is rarely acquired at a native level by adult speakers, both in terms of perception and production of non-native speech sounds. In the native language (L1), evidence for a close link between speech perception and production has been found, whereby perception affects production and vice versa. When exposed […]
