Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is the leading cause of blindness in premature neonates. ROP is associated with inflammation largely mediated trough interleukin (IL-1), which triggers an initial critical phase of ocular vascular degeneration. ROP is also an excellent model of ischemic retinopathies in general. The formation of new blood vessels after tissue ischemia is not […]

In recent years, a dramatic increase in computer processing power and storage allowed the exploration of new frontiers in science by analyzing large, complex datasets. The field of neuroscience is evolving towards larger and more complex studies creating a huge amount of data that is hard to understand using classical analyses. Thus, the development of […]

Following a spinal cord injury (SCI), sensory and motor impairments affect the ability to perform daily life tasks independently, such as transferring or grabbing an object. Intuitively to accomplish these tasks, the use of the upper and lower limbs is obvious, but the trunk is equally essential. Trunk control alterations generate deficits in the functional […]

In recent years, the interest given to disease biomarkers has boomed. Biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies are exploring ways to use biomarkers to speed up the drug development process, as well as to rapidly assess a diseases state, staging, progression and response to therapy. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) Mass Spectrometry (MS) has been shown to be […]

State-of-the-art computer graphics technology allows for the generation of images and animations that border on photo-realistic quality; however, this level of fidelity is often reserved for feature-film productions where the time budget is much more flexible. In the case of interactive graphics, such as approaches that are used in video games, similar demands are made […]

Le projet a pour objet l’étude des conséquences de la pandémie sur la garantie des droits économiques, sociaux et culturels des migrants en situation de mobilité, volontaire ou contrainte, pour des motifs économiques ou des considérations d’ordre humanitaire. Le contexte d’urgence sanitaire à l’échelle mondiale a conduit de nombreux gouvernements à adopter des mesures d’exception. […]

Dirigeants et chercheurs insistent sur l’importance du développement du leadership pour assurer un fonctionnement organisationnel optimal. Les études qui se sont attardées au développement du leadership stipulent que les programmes utilisés à cette fin doivent être développés en se reposant davantage sur la logique de l’utilisation des données probantes en gestion (evidence-based management) pour en […]

Financial data are known to be generated from complex distributions, often assumed to be changing over time. The aim of this project is to build a simulator of multivariate time series, parameterized as simply as possible by a user, with the freedom to build different models, to assess their general behavior and key properties. This […]

Ce projet de thèse doctorale, en cotutelle entre l’Université Libre de Bruxelles (sous la direction de Carla Nagels, Département de criminologie) et l’Université de Montréal (sous la direction de Valérie Amiraux, Département de sociologie), propose une analyse comparée des modalités d’entrée dans des mouvements extrêmes de nature diverses, à partir d’un terrain auprès de collectifs […]

The call center managers at Hydro-Quebec (HQ) need to deliver both low operating costs and high service quality. Their task is made especially difficult because they need to handle a large-size workforce (more than 1000 employees) while meeting an incoming demand which is typically both time-varying and uncertain. The current techniques of determining the schedules […]
