Reports of in vivo total hip replacement failures have raised concerns over their load bearing capacity, safety, reliability and service life particularly as hip arthroplasty is being extended to even younger patients. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure continual patient monitoring and develop proper testing standards. This study focuses on investigating retrievals and in vitro […]

The use and burning of fossil fuels, such as oil and gas for transportation and industrial activities, are sources of both air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. While air pollution affects human health, greenhouse gas contributes to climate change. Therefore, reducing fossil fuel use can improve air quality as well as help fight climate change. […]

The surgical practices involving fat are constantly evolving at the cutting edge of technology. Procedures involving fat manipulation, such as liposuction, contain a degree of subjectivity which is mainly guided by the surgeon’s visual or tactile perception of the underlying fat. This lack of subjectivity raises an important issue regarding the surgeon’s ability to replicate […]

There is a need for research on electronic CBT (eCBT) in real-world settings, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic as access to face-to-face treatment is limited. Understanding the challenges in delivering eCBT will be crucial for improving access to care during the current pandemic, and in preparing a response to future pandemics. The intern will lead […]

The main areas of focus for this project will be EOS, Youth and Families, and CED. With a new all-season greenhouse set for construction in late August 2020, SNA intends to hire youth in the community to operate the facility and develop a social enterprise that will provide food security, job training, and revenue to […]

When utilizing and implementing ML for prediction using administrative health data, two key issues are ML algorithm evaluation and generalizability21. Current approaches evaluate model performance by quantifying how closely the prediction made by the model matches known health outcomes. Evaluation metrics include sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value, as well as measures such as the […]

The interns will work on improvements to algorithms using geometry and deep learning for estimating human pose of individuals and the distance between them. This is a difficult task to do from videos as it involves 1) the detection and 2) 3D metric reconstruction of persons in all kinds of poses and apparel. The interns […]

Imagine having the full use of your arm to perform everyday tasks like brushing your teeth, combing your hair, or putting on a shirt, and then losing that ability because you can no longer rotate your shoulder. Such severe shoulder damage is common in almost 1 in 10 adults over 65. Their only chance to […]

The objective of the project would be to develop a Strategic Plan that incorporates all facets of HSH’s services. Beyond end-of-life care, HSH is committed to changing the conversation around death and dying through programming which includes hosting Death Cafes and facilitating educational workshops on end-of-life planning. They also offer end-of-life Doula services, and public […]

Nous utilisons de nombreux appareils électriques et électroniques afin d’alléger nos tâches quotidiennes, simplifier notre travail et profiter de nos loisirs. Pour rester compétitifs, les fabricants doivent rendre leurs produits attractifs en améliorant les technologies utilisées, les nouveaux produits remplaçant les anciens à un rythme très soutenu et générant ainsi beaucoup de déchets électroniques. Le […]

The opioid epidemic is a serious health crisis and opioid treatment strategies are at the forefront of efforts to tackle this crisis. Replacement therapy is the current approach taken using medications such as methadone. To be more effective, the dosage needs to be tailored to individual tolerance which requires a point-of-care type analytical measurement of […]

Disengagement is not a “steady state” rather it is better conceptualized on a continuum with engagement in some areas as well as disengagement in others (Christenson and Thurlow 2004). The proposed research will explore how issues of access and equity factor into student engagement within the university setting. In particular, this research explicitly examines “push” […]
