The CD36 scavenger receptor has […]

Mobile Network Carriers are experiencing data traffic at such high levels that congestion is becoming an increasing problem. High levels of malicious traffic generated from smartphones could potentially bring down the carriers network. As such, mobile carriers are exploring new methods to reduce this congestion. This research focuses on simplifying the problem of identifying which […]

Les mines à ciel ouvert génèrent de grandes quantités de stériles miniers. Selon leur composition, les stériles peuvent être potentiellement contaminants lorsqu’exposés à l’air et à l’eau. Une bonne connaissance des propriétés des stériles permet donc de mieux planifier leur gestion afin de réduire les risques environnementaux. Le projet consiste à réaliser une modélisation géo-environnementale […]
