Music reading is a very challenging and frustrating aspect of learning music that often leads to the cessation of lessons in the early stages of music learning. Despite this, there has been very little experimental research to understand the music reading process. To address this need, we will administer a group of cognitive and music […]

Given the starting premise, depression and chronic pain are often manifest in the same patients, I intend to investigate genetic and brain structural commonalities between these two conditions. This work would have two components: genetic association analysis and brain imaging. First, I would take the list of genetic variants previously associated with chronic pain conditions […]

The aim of this collaboration is to investigate best practices and innovative strategies for the design of food production systems for cold-weather climates that can be integrated into Eco-industrial networks by using available waste energy and additional by-products as part of the operational function. Using a “sustainable design” and biomimicry lens, the intention is to […]

En étudiant les champs magnétiques d’objets immenses, par exemple une planète, nous sommes capable de déterminer s’il y a une atmosphère autour de cette planète. Récemment, le groupe recherche en astrophysique numérique de l’Université d’Antioquia a réussi à montrer qu’il existait des régions stables pour des particules chargées dans des champs magnétiques d’exoplanètes (contrairement à […]

Dans la Grèce hellénistique et impériale, quelques riches citoyens décidaient parfois d’affecter une partie de leur fortune à la réalisation d’un projet. Ce placement était productif, de sorte que les intérêts sur le capital en assuraient la pérennité. Ainsi, à l’image des fondations privées contemporaines qui offrent des bourses à des étudiants pour leur permettre […]

As new technologies are rapidly being integrated in postsecondary institutions, the question is often where to focus investment and how to facilitate adoption of new technologies by faculty and students. The advent of an era that will increasingly rely on the use of augmented and virtual reality in the instructional arena necessitates the creation of […]

il s’agira d’étudier les interactions entre entités biologiques, notamment des cellules, et des substrats nano-micro-structurés servant par ailleurs à la bio détection plasmonique. Cette étude sera centrée sur la nature et les propriétés des interactions qui gouvernent la fixation, le positionnement relatif des entités et leurs mobilités éventuelles. Elle pourra déboucher sur de nombreuses applications, […]

L’incidence des troubles alimentaires tels que l’anorexie et la boulimie est jusqu’à trois fois plus forte chez la femme que chez l’homme. Afin de mieux comprendre cette susceptibilité plus élevée chez les femmes, je me suis intéressée au peptide relaxine-3. Ce peptide est produit dans le cerveau et il est impliqué dans la motivation vers […]

The purpose of this research is to create a framework which investigates the different factors that play a role in the effects that SME’s present to a society. This project will be case study based. It will define the differences between the micro-region of Detroit and a macro-region, the country of Brazil. The framework will […]

The project that you will be working on is titled “Microscope adapter for smart phone camera”. As such we have made quite a bit of progress and have made two prototypes of microscope that can be interfaced with a smartphone. However, now we will like to have advanced features like fluorescent microscopy. So the final […]

Communities in Northern Saskatchewan have overwhelming epidemic rates of suicide. This loss is compounded by the unresolved grief and inter-generational trauma associated with the legacy of residential schools. There is a clear connection between high suicide rates and the historical trauma experienced by Indigenous people. Mental health services for Indigenous youth in rural and remote […]

The objectives of this research project are to design and evaluate scheduling and assignment models to minimize travel costs and maximize the service level delivered for non-emergency patient transportation. This will be done using operations research, a branch of applied mathematics where models of a system are formulated to predict the system’s performance based on […]
