My project proposes to analyze representations of the built environment in William McFarlane Notman’s photographs of the Royal Tour of Canada in 1901. Held at the McCord Museum in Montreal, the photographs picture the tour taken by the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York (later King George V and Queen Mary) across Canada on […]

Canadian Business for Social Responsibility (CBSR) Association is partnering with the CBSR Education Foundation to deliver a Sustainable Procurement Fellowship (SPF) program. The SPF program aims to educate and empower corporate sustainability professionals to deliver on corporate sustainability goals through improvements and integration of sustainable procurement practices. Carbon mitigation, circularity, and sustainable information technology (IT) […]

This research proposal will focus on identifying supplementary topics that will provide enriched learning opportunities for the Junior Achievement Dollars with Sense (DwS) middle school curriculum. The key areas to be investigated will include fundamentals of consumer credit cards, public stock market basics, and banks and banking. These areas are introduced in the Dollars with […]

Ce projet MITACS vise à exporter et à adapter l’approche pédagogique et scientifique de l’Université des jeux(nes) musiciens (UJM), laboratoire vivant situé à la Faculté de musique de l’Université Laval, au sein du campus Sobral de l’Université Fédérale du Ceara (UFC), état situé dans le nord-est du Brésil. La création de l’UJM/UFC-Sobral (Universidade de jogos(jovens) […]

La transition à l’âge adulte qui s’échelonne typiquement de 16 à 25 ans présente un ensemble de défi pour les jeunes adultes. Parmi les grands changements qui s’opèrent lors de cette période, on compte la transition école-travail, qui marque, comme son nom l’indique, la fin de la scolarité et l’entrée sur le marché de l’emploi. […]

The overarching goal of this project is to learn how to apply machine learning strategies to identify genes associated with breast cancer recurrence. The outcome of this project will be a working understanding of machine learning and its application for analyzing transcriptomic datasets. In addition, we will establish new collaborations with Dr. Sun Kim’s research […]

Globally the rate of Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission is on the rise. This is quite disturbing and hence there is the urgent need to understand and develop better preventive strategies. A canonical antiviral molecule called “Type 1 interferon” is known to interfere with viral replication. In a large-scale cytokine analysis of South Africa tenofovir […]

The process of identifying someone is talking to you and listening to that talker is one of the most complicated tasks people perform every day. This task is still not well-solved for robotics and it represents one of the fundamental barriers to effective human-robot interaction. For both humans and robots, several social cues must be […]

Photodetectors are one of the fundamental elements of optoelectronic circuits. Phototransistors produce current both by absorbing light and also taking advantage of the gate electrode to increase gain. Solution-processed electronics has many advantages, including low-cost and low-temperature fabrication. In thin-film transistors (TFTs), the channel can be made with carbon-based semiconductors such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs). […]

Horses have long held special cultural, spiritual and economic importance in many Indigenous North American cultures, offering teaching, healing and connection to the environment. There is research which supports the value of ‘equine therapy’ and even some that highlights the usefulness of equine assisted interventions for Indigenous ‘clients’, but this project is the first to […]

The research project has as a general objective to analyze the organizational climate and its interference in the Interprofessional Collaborative Practice (ICP) from the perspective of managers and health professionals in a hospital context in the face of COVID-19. To achieve the objective in the proposal of a mixed methods study, data will be collected […]
