Learning Management Systems (LMSs) enable schools to offer education online. This is helpful during the current COVID times. It is important that every learner is able to participate in the online learning experience. For this, the needs of learners with disabilities must be supported. Many of these are cognitive needs; they involve thinking, feeling, focusing, […]

Inorganic elements, such as silver and copper, have long been used as effective antimicrobial and antifungal agents. Although the introduction of antibiotics in the early 20th century diminished the use of inorganic antimicrobials, increasing incidence and prevalence of antibiotic resistance has led to a resurgence of interest in alternative antimicrobial technologies. However, valid concern over […]

Users and businesses have been relying on internet connectivity more than ever before since the COVID-19 pandemic. It is critical for modern network services to be well-planned, organized and monitored by system administrators and network service providers to ensure the highest possible availability, reliability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Network traffic characterization and pattern prediction in-advance can […]

Benzodiazepines (BZs), including drugs such as diazepam, are used in the treatment of chronic anxiety disorders. However, dependence develops with long-term use. Much needed new antidepressant drugs with better safety profile include honokinol (extracted from Magnolia plants) and its derivative dihydrohonokiol-B (DHH-B). While honokinol requires chronic treatment to induce an anxiolytic effect in rodents, DHH-B […]

When a patient seeks treatment, it is crucial to involve them in the decision-making process. One way to do this is to have a scale/measure that allows for the patient’s input on the goals that are most relevant to them. Goal attainment scaling is one measure that involves patients by including a collaborative goal setting […]

Today’ssociety consumes chemicals daily in its food, in care products but also thecomposition of pharmaceutical drugs, research on methods of extracting cannabisoils and their therapeutic effects support and emphasizes-for the productionof more effective and beneficial drugs for health with fewer side effects,thanks to its virtues and antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuro-regulatorycapacities, capable of contributing to the […]

Water ice exists near the Moon’s poles due to the very cold temperatures caused by the limited exposure to direct sunlight in these regions. To understand the extent of water that exists on the Moon, we need to locate the areas where the temperatures are favourable for the preservation of water (less than -175°C/-280°F). To […]

This research is about technologies for ‘DIY’ or ‘novice’ home-construction. The research asks if high energy efficiency homes could be built by novice and non-expert builders. Energy efficient construction is an increasingly expert craft: with specialized knowledge, tools, and practices now required to achieve excellent building energy performance, this presents barriers to building efficiency for […]

Il est bien connu que certains problèmes inhérents au soudage par fusion des alliages d’aluminium comme le soudage TIG ou le soudage MIG ne se rencontrent pas en soudage par friction malaxage (FSW en anglais). Le FSW permet une soudure à l’état solide qui donne une zone affectée thermiquement moins importante, ayant des propriétés mécaniques […]

The proposed project is an extension of an ongoing project with American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), which aims to develop a performance-based winterization guideline for assets operating in harsh environments. The project has led to a novel approach of assessing need of winterization and evaluating extent of winterization required to maintain assets in safe operating […]

Thales Canada, Transportation Solutions has a long history of developing automated train systems. The company has designed a new autonomous train system that contains a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), e.g., GPS, sensor input using corrected GNSS measurements. Thales and York University’s GNSS Laboratory are proposing in this Mitacs Accelerate proposal that one senior doctoral […]
