Artificial reproductive technics (ART) have been widely utilized to maximize the use of genomics for animal improvement. In the forefront of novel expectations in ART is the ability to derive sperm and oocytes in vitro by differentiating pluripotent stem cells into germ cells and then into gametes. However, a major hurdle in the derivation of […]

Raymor Industries is a Canadian high-tech company using thermal plasma technology to produce single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and graphene. As synthesized, the SWCNTs inevitably contain carbon impurities and catalyst metal particles that must be removed to continue a separation process according to their electronic properties (metallic or semiconducting). Once purified and electronically separated, the SWCNTs […]

L’objectif de ce projet est d’évaluer la gestion des veaux laitiers Holstein dans les fermes laitières qui ont un historique de vente de veaux performants en engraissement. À cette fin, une enquête téléphonique est d’abord menée auprès de 150 exploitations laitières. Parmi ces exploitations, 25 seront sélectionnées pour une enquête approfondie à la ferme durant […]

“Le concert augmenté” est un projet pionnier de recherche-création qui prévoit, pour la première fois d’une façon structurée, l’utilisation des nouvelles technologies audio (les écouteurs à conduction osseuse) dans le contexte de concert de musique électroacoustique. Ce nouveau médium de diffusion permettra des expériences de concert en réalité augmentée sonore, c’est-à-dire des performances immersives où […]

Weeds can negatively impact agricultural fields, which compete with crops for nutrients, water, light, and space. Herbicides are still the most used control method. However, over time, this strategy may negatively impact the environment, and organic farming standards forbid the excessive use of herbicides. For efficiency, drones collect images from fields to automatically sense and […]

Research problem: Ensuring the SuccessFinder psychometric test is updated and has solutions to meet client needs for data-driven HR. In addition, refining the application of personality to person-job fit, team effectiveness and leadership. Significance: closing the research-practice gap, equipping HR with the most relevant people data to weather upcoming disruption and change in the job […]

To guarantee progress and adherence to the Dreven platform the company must solve a major issue to which no traditional solutions tested have provided reliable and efficient answers. This issue is linked to the complexity and diversity of information exchanges that Dreeven must use for different reasons. To be efficient, the Dreeven platform must be […]

Social mobilization and contestation have long been associated with left-leaning forces in Colombia. This activity has often been stigmatized as being promoted by left-wing guerrilla groups. However, right-wing actors have in recent years increasingly adopted modes of contentious action that were traditionally associated with the left in Colombia. How can we explain this change in […]

La commotion cérébrale suite à un traumatisme crânien peut entraîner des conséquences diverses au niveau cognitif. Il est notamment possible de développer un syndrome post-commotionnel dans les suites d’une commotion et cet état peut perdurer dans le temps. Il peut être marqué, entre autres, par des troubles de l’apprentissage notamment au niveau moteur. Cela peut […]

Emulating topological phases of matter in photonic systems appears particularly promising for engineering new generations of quantum devices more resilient to noise or external perturbations. Indeed, the great versatility of these platforms could allow developing specific architectures that have no counterparts in condensed matter. The goal of this project is to experimentally explore the fundamental […]

La recherche effectuée lors de mon séjour au sein de la Faculté de droit de l’Université de Montréal se penchera de manière générale sur les possibilités de proposer des mesures positives liées à des situations de discrimination ainsi que d’ancrer un droit à l’intégration en vue de favoriser le parcours d’intégration des personnes étrangères. A […]

Malassezia species are amongst the most abundant fungi in humans, found mostly in mucosal surfaces and on the skin. However, Malassezia can cause damage when present in tissue in Crohn’s disease and pancreatic cancer, but knowledge of Malassezia’s involvement in diseases of internal organs remains fragmented and incomplete. The project will involve determining if Malassezia […]
