In October 2017, Mexico’s Congress passed the General Law on Disappearances, the first federal-legal measure of its kind. After eleven years of extreme violence that coincide with the War on Drugs, more than 37,000 (RNPED, 2018) persons are officially disappeared, though it is widely suspected the figure is now in excess of 40,000. This research […]

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has published a set of guidelines to assist designers in the task of designing digital content which will be accessible to users with a wide range of abilities. These guidelines are known as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), version 2.1. Students in the Inclusive Design program learn to […]

This project will concentrate on the 60 volumes Chinese translation Mah?samnip?ta s?tra , examine the quotation and annotation of this scriptures from the later works. With the interdisciplinary research methods including Buddhist philosophy, philology, ancient medicine, history, astronomy and geography , I will put this s?tra under the perspective of intellectual history and conduct a […]

Les meilleurs joueurs prennent la bonne décision, au bon moment et peu importe le contexte. Les habiletés de prise de décisions sont essentielles au développement du jeune joueur rêvant d’atteindre les sommets de son sport. En partenariat avec l’Académie Ulysse, le présent projet vise, pour commencer, à élaborer une approche par problème pour améliorer la […]

The proposed project is part of a larger effort to develop more suitable conceptual design methodologies for aircraft that account for the complex aerodynamic interactions of novel concepts, for example as present with distributed propulsion concepts. For the project an advanced aerodynamic code will be integrated in an existing larger design methodology. The advantages will […]

Globally, industries are seeking to develop new products and services from the large-scale data sets they hold. As these systems move from prototypes into fully operational 24/7/265 commercial solutions additional services must be provided to detect and address system faults and failure as they arise. Within classical engineering plants, e.g., those of the telecommunications, petrochemical, […]

Meteorite impact events into water-bearing targets, though initially detrimental, can provide an environment for rock/water interactions promoting metabolically relevant chemistry required for early life to assemble. The resulting hydrothermal systems are found on Earth as well as Mars. Based on the biological implication of impact-generated lithologies on Earth, there is reason to believe Mars may […]

This is a study by a postgraduate under the guidance of a professor from UBC about the dialogue of Buddhism and Christianity during the Ming and Qing Dynasties in China, focusing on the views of the Ultimate World, such as the Kingdom of Heaven in Catholicism and the Pure Land in Buddhism. Through research methods […]

Much is known about how our mind guides our attention as we visually process our environment. Visual search is guided by a marriage between internal (i.e., our explicit goals and objectives) and external (i.e., physical properties of objects) factors that influence our perception of the world around us. Recent work has shown that individuals vary […]

Digital signatures are used as electronic alternatives to handwritten signatures, and are built upon mathematical problems. Such problems are computationally unfeasible to solve with classical computers, and give the security basis for signature schemes. With the possible advent of quantum computers, conventional signatures created by currently used schemes cannot be considered secure. Thus, the need […]

The project consists on the construction of a system of innovation management indicators (framework) for managing innovation in technology-based companies. For this, studies will be carried out together with companies, since the lack of harmony between the theoretical frameworks and companies’ needs is a highlighted problem. There will be three main activities in the research […]

The purpose of the proposed research is to identify the factors and indicators that enable, or block community actors from taking ownership of a solution previously led by a social leader or government actor. The project will allow our partner and the communities they work with to gain a better understanding of factors that enable […]
