Exploring The Effects Of Functional Connectivity To Depict Key Differences Between Stages Of Sleep To Determine Why REM Protects Against Seizures

The purpose of analyzing the different stages of sleep by means of functional connectivity metrics is due to the overwhelming unlikelihood of seizures occurring during REM sleep. The functional connectivity metrics are computational algorithms run on a computer that determine if the signal from one node is similar to another in any way. These nodes […]

A Serious Approach to Sickness Prevention in Motion Base Simulators

Training personnel to operate machinery in the construction workplace requires a major devotion of time, resources, and safeguards. Recent methods involving virtual reality and motion base simulators have drastically enhanced the training process, but some users of these new methods report sickness and discomfort. This research aims to remedy this issue with a theoretical and […]

Investigating the use of mixed reality technologies as a solution to help mitigate the challenges under the COVID-19 restrictions for artistic collaboration and education

Traditionally, artistic communities relied on face-to-face encounters to learn their skills, collaborate, and showcase their work. Due to COVID-19, performances in the arts have been abruptly halted and traditional music lessons take place at a studio has stopped. This project aims to examine and provide a prototype solution to mitigate the challenges in artistic collaboration […]

Sources and sinks for potentially hazardous elements in mine waste

Mining is important to the Canadian economy but also generates large quantities of waste rock. Water percolating through some waste rock piles dissolves metals that can become hazardous to ecosystems. Laboratory tests are used to simulate this process. The intern will examine a suite of samples from a multi-year laboratory test to identify the source […]

Modeling and forecasting the popularity of YouTube videos

Many YouTube content owners currently make money from their videos by allowing YouTube to display ads next to them. For these content owners, increasing the popularity of the video leads to more revenue, and therefore it is of great importance. The purpose of this project is to design an algorithm to predict the popularity of […]

Validation of Novel, Tumor Microenvironment-targetedImmunomodulatory Biological Therapeutic

ImmunoBiochem is developing novel anti-cancer therapeutics to address unmet need in intractable solid tumors. Because solid tumors are highly heterogeneous and evasive, recognizing cancerous cells, while avoiding damage to normal tissue, is a challenge. As a result, many targeted therapies quickly come up against resistance, resulting in patient relapses. ImmunoBiochem is solving the issue of […]

Developing and Validating a Robust Sample Preparation, Separation and Quantitation Method for Pesticide Residues in Cannabis

Mandatory reporting limits established by Health Canada for pesticide testing in cannabis are typically lower than those published in various U.S. states. Because dried cannabis leaves and flowers generate many co-extractives that can negatively impact testing results, a simple and cost-effective sample preparation and analytical method needs to be developed to meet the demanding testing […]
