My MA thesis consists in the use of imperative sentences in Mandarin Chinese conversation. I plan to collect 9 hours of video data and analyze the actions speakers perform when they imperatives in naturally occurring Mandarin conversation. Based on grammar books, the imperative sentences perform a command, however an observation of everyday Mandarin conversation has […]

The most fascinating property of diblock copolymers (DBCP) is their ability to self-assemble into a wide range of ordered structures. In the simplest case, DBCPs can assemble into two distinct spherical phases, the familiar body-centered and face-centered cubic phases. The situation changes upon introducing conformational asymmetry, in which the statistical length of the two monomer […]

While the fact that social media, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Snapchat, are changing our lives is undeniable, management scholars are only beginning to understand their effects on social interaction and societal inequality. One area of great importance is the effect of social media on how people look for jobs. While some see social media […]

This research proposal is looking at the differences between the teaching style, classroom climate, and classroom setup; I will be looking at the differences in these between Canada and China. The focus is to take note on what is working best to get the most in student engagement and learning. There are two different models […]

Offshore Wind Energy is one among the viable renewable energy sources which could help meet our future energy needs. The main concern about the offshore wind energy is the high cost of energy. The cost of Offshore wind energy is very expensive when compared to onshore cost. The success of offshore wind energy highly depends […]

Having a strong background in the arts, I will research the use of the arts in Chinese Middle schools. I will be observing grade seven and grade eight classes. I am interested in seeing the differences in how the art impacts the Chinese Education System. One of the topics I will be observing is the […]

The inquiry will involve observations of two Chinese classrooms of different grades (11, 12), research of articles examining stress levels and academic success, and observations of after-school programs in order to gauge the available academic support for students in high-stress positions. I will refer to the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) results between Canada […]

Design problems need creative solving method, solution and specific knowledge and experience. Design problems and solution methodologies have been studied for many decades. Environment-Based Design (EBD) method is one of the modern and comprehensive methods which reflects the state of art in the design methodologies. In this project EBD technics including environment analysis, right-questions presentation, […]

Meat contamination is a severe public health risk and therefore the development of highly precise, rapid, and reliable monitoring devices are necessary. Chemical hazards in meat such as the presence of nitrites and antibiotic residues have potentially carcinogenic, toxic, and/or allergenic effects when exceeding threshold limits set by governing health agencies. Conventional methods to monitor […]

Observations of large numbers of galaxies in the universe have shown that the vast proportion of galaxies are either blue in colour and actively forming stars, or red in colour with little to no star formation. One goal of the study of galaxy formation is to establish any physical links between these types of galaxies. […]

The research project deals with the development of a targeted drug delivery system for cancer treatment. This drug delivery system features the use of nanoparticles (NPs) as efficient carriers for cancer drugs. Current cancer therapy regularly involves the use of chemotherapy to kill cancer cells; however, chemotherapy affects normal healthy cells and patients may experience […]

I would like to study how play based learning is used and viewed in the Chinese school system, and how children learn through play in these conditions. Through observation I intend to examine classroom structures in the primary grades, kindergarten to grade 3, in Chinese school system, and observe how students learn through play from […]
