Phase I: Development of Intellectual Property to Facilitate Partnership Agreements with Business and Non-profit Organization Before partnership agreements with the business sector (companies) and not-for-profit organizations can be undertaken, intellectual property rights need to be established. Thus, we will first develop and validate GaitreminderTM as a method for evaluating gait abnormalities in normal ageing and […]

L’Institut national de formation et de recherche-action (Infra) est un organisme à but non lucratif dont une partie de sa mission est d’offrir des formations destinées aux OBNL. Dans le but de développer un nouveau créneau de formation et de répondre aux besoins des collectivités, l’Infra souhaite élaborer et évaluer une formation portant sur l’intégration […]

For so many years, industries that are heavily reliant on geospatial data have been working with paper maps unfolded on tables. Some of these companies are still using paper maps to analyze huge amounts of data despite the current availability of geographic information system (GSI) for storing and managing geospatial data. Data management tasks using […]

Extending New Narratives in the History of Philosophy is engaged in retrieving historical philosophical works of women and individuals from other marginalized groups and sustaining their presence in the history of philosophy. Our overall goal is to change the ways we do history of philosophy to enable the discipline to become more inclusive and diverse. […]

Sugar alcohols such as Xylitol and Sorbitol are an abundant and renewable carbon resource obtained from plant-generated sugars and starches or – preferably – the breakdown of (hemi-)cellulose into the soluble sugars Xylose and Glucose. Already established industrial processes currently running at > 2 million tons/year allow the facile conversion of these sugar to the […]

This project will ultimately highlight the ways in which international students experience higher education (as framed by policy, racism, and student testimonies I will have collected prior to departure).The project is 2 pronged: one area focusing on a policy driven manuscript informed by international student testimonies to be used for my dissertation, and the other […]

We introduce Swarm Fabrication, a novel concept of creating on-demand, scalable, and reconfigurable fabrication machines made of swarm robots. We present ways to construct an element of fabrication machines, such as motors, elevator, table, feeder, and extruder, by leveraging toio robots and 3D printed attachments. By combining these elements, we demonstrate constructing an X-Y-Z plotter […]

This project aims to tackle the challenge of finding different ways Viva could optimize its existing work processes to generate maximum results, as well as innovating in the marketing domain. This requires the intern to observe technical insights such as user interaction and behaviour, as well as traffic across various virtual platforms. This understanding would […]

In our proposed research we will be performing numerical simulations of cavitation occurring around mantis shrimp appendages. The simulation results will serve to answer how evolutionary diversification in the species has enabled appendages to selectively cavitate only upon impact, and not during forward rotation, despite the appendage-acceleration being comparable with that of a bullet. Moreover, […]

The delivery of online education and training has increased significantly over recent years, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research on online course delivery has focused largely on offerings delivered by academic institutions for course credit. Little is known about learner outcomes during training courses that focus on skill development. Findings from this study will provide […]

Can health be understood differently in different cultures? Many studies (Murray & al., 2018; Glouberman & Millar, 2003) have already investigated the level and distribution of health in Canada. There are also studies assessing health literacy and its possible improvement among Aboriginal people (Smylie, Williams & Cooper, 2006). However, there are few (if any) studies […]

The popular idea of a successful career or livelihood is defined by the amount of money or fame earned. Most of the popular motivational books/speeches put forward the idea that a successful career can be achieved through personal hard work, resilience, and maximizing productivity. But the role of historical and socio-economic factors is not discussed […]
