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 […]

Subject: Concept design is the first phase of the design process, the time needed to make basic decisions that set the specifications for a proposed artifact and begin to determine its ultimate shape. Starting from very general and very high level requirements (desires and needs), a first set of requirements is created; several concepts are […]

Doctoral candidate Yung-Yu Lin is hoping to visit New York to conduct a complete research on George Rochberg’s 50 Caprice Variations for solo violin with Professor Janette Tilley at Lehman College, the City University of New York (CUNY). 50 Caprice Variations draws on a vast array of historical stylistic references from the Baroque to the […]

The aim of this in vitro study is to explore demineralization detection abilities and conduct a volumetric assessment of caries in extracted teeth using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), ultrasound and Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM), and x-rays imaging (micro CT). Sound and carious extracted human molars were collected under ethical approval at the Eastman Dental Institute […]

The objectives of the proposed research internship is to develop a model of the critical airflow velocity at which the droplets start to move according to the arrangement of the droplets, the wettability of the surface, and the interaction between the droplets on the various functional surfaces and the airflow passing over them, which is […]

The aim of the project is to contribute to reshaping conceptual design by incorporating state-of-the-art design theories and model-based systems engineering. Concept design is the first phase of the design process, the time needed to make basic decisions that set the specifications for a proposed artifact and begin to determine its ultimate shape. To better […]

This project is to study the sensors (e.g., accelerometers, gyros, magnetometers) which used to measure the flight control system. These sensors are usually are effecting with bias, drift and noise effects. Therefore, the use of sensors fusion algorithms is key to estimate accurately measured and filtered values and to ensure the correct behavior of the […]

In a conventional solar cell, over half of the incident sunlight goes to waste, due to failure by the stable semiconductors to absorb the lower energy ranges of the solar spectrum. Attempts to improve the semiconductor absorption capabilities have proved difficult, with relatively little progress made thus far. An alternative solution is to make the […]
