C-Myc, N-Myc and L-Myc were shown to have a partially redundant function in cells. Since their identification, extensive efforts were made to characterize their respective function at homeostasis and their role in various infamous diseases. Still, very little is known about those proteins at a biophysical level, except for c-MYC. Interestingly, despite being critical for […]

Les performances des modules PV ont considérablement évolué ces dernières années, atteignant des valeurs supérieures à 20%. Cette amélioration est due à des progrès dans l’architecture des cellules solaires, notamment pour les cellules bifaciales. L’utilisation des modules dans des conditions d’enneigement peut considérablement modifier leurs performances. Cela est dû à l’ombrage lié à la neige […]

La recherche proposée a pour objectif de documenter les contributions historiques de la population afro-sherbrookoise et de participer, ainsi, à la lutte contre le racisme et les discriminations à Sherbrooke. La recherche vise à sensibiliser la population sherbrookoise à l’importance des apports de la communauté afro-descendante de la ville et de la région afin de […]

There are three main problems in construction sector which are addressed through our startup. The first one is the high negative environmental impacts and energy required for conventional concrete or earthen constructions. The second problem is the high pre- and post-construction costs which results more building costs and maintenance fees. Lastly, there is the necessity […]

The extreme cold weather of Canada requires innovative solutions to provide efficient options to for heating of water domestically, industrially and commercially. Heat pump water heaters might be the answer as efficient heating systems and cost-effective on the long term. Hence, this project studies heat pump water heaters as a potential efficient and environmentally-friendly substitution […]

Breast cancer remains a major global health concern, with high prevalence rates in new case diagnoses across the world. The primary challenge in breast cancer detection centers on achieving early and precise diagnosis as actual methods have limitations. The primary challenge in breast cancer detection lies in achieving early and accurate diagnosis. Current methods face […]

In recent years, factors like thermal comfort, indoor air quality, and energy consumption in school buildings have received increasing attention. Lecture theatres and chemistry labs pose significant challenges for HVAC design due to thermal stratification in lecture theatres and ineffective ventilation in chemistry labs, caused by large spaces and pollutant generation, respectively. Despite many studies […]

Nous allons faire l’analyse par résonance magnétique nucléaire du solide de bétons contenant du métakaolin (argile calcinée). Il est considéré que le métakaolin pourrait éventuellement remplacer le ciment Portland, dont la fabrication est l’un des principaux contributeurs à l’émission de gaz à effet de serre. Ce stage se fera dans le laboratoire de Science et […]

Le projet de stage en stratégie d’entreprise du stagiaire se concentre sur la validation de marché pour les batteries innovantes développées par l’entreprise, spécifiquement destinées aux applications de stockage d’énergie stationnaire. L’objectif principal de ce projet est d’évaluer la demande et le potentiel commercial de ces batteries sur différents segments de marché. Cela implique une […]

Pfizer, a leading global company, is constantly striving to deliver breakthroughs that improve patients’ lives. They achieve this through a dedication to research and development (R&D) and by optimizing their manufacturing processes. The student’s contributions will support Pfizer’s mission of innovation. In this two-part project, we will explore the automation of various tasks with the […]

CarbOne Biodiversité has engaged with our research team to evaluate potential uses for lightly contaminanted soils to further develop the circular economy. The project will evaluate geotechnical properties of lightly contaminated soils to develop a list of proposed uses (e.g., foundations, fill materials, etc.). CarbOne Biodiversité aims to merge the needs of economic development with […]

This research project focuses on understanding climate change’s effects on air quality and human health. It acknowledges that exposure to chemical and physical stressors also increases as extreme environmental events (like heatwaves, floods, droughts, …) become more frequent. This could potentially lead to new adverse health impacts or amplify existing ones. The project’s primary objective […]
