Parkinson’s disease is mostly known for the extensive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the brain that results in motor impairments in patients living with the disease. The causes for this neuronal death are under active investigation, and recent studies suggest that disease onset/progression could originate from or be aggravated by peripheral factors. Therefore, molecules located […]

Energy Disaggregation is to find the energy consumption of individual appliances from only a single measure of household electricity consumption. Accurate energy disaggregation helps identify major energy guzzlers in the house and motivates users to take proper actions for energy saving. To pursue aneasy-to-use and scalable solution to energy disaggregation for contemporary large-scale appliances, we […]

Quantum entropy inequalities fundamentally limit how information can be distributed in a quantum system. However, it is an open problem to list and show all the entropy inequalities for the quantum setting beyond 3-party systems, which has proven extremely challenging both numerically and analytically. As the number of qubits we can experimentally initiate and control […]

Project explores two key aspects of civilian involvement in national security: the evolution of Ukraine’s policies on civilian firearm ownership and the development of “Territorial Defence” institutions in Ukraine and similar “home guard” entities in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as the Nordic/Baltic region. The goal is to understand how these elements contribute to […]

Si la recherche est abondante à étudier l’insécurité linguistique chez les locuteurs ayant le français comme langue maternelle, moins nombreuses sont les études intéressées au phénomène chez les locuteurs de français langue seconde et étrangère (FLSE) et particulièrement chez les enseignants de FLSE. Pourtant, quelques études suggèrent que ceux-ci subissent de l’insécurité linguistique en raison […]

Understanding droplet interactions with surfaces is crucial for large-scale oil recovery, coating industries, and microfluidic devices. To address the remaining challenges, including the need for a universal timescale and improved theoretical and computational models, this project brings together the SoftSimu group at Western University and the Soft Materials Modelling (SMM) group at Aalto University, Finland. […]

Transitioning patients from hospital to at-home care is vital for health care operations. However, there is a general concern that these at-risk populations would not be receiving the same level of care at home as they would in a dedicated medical facility. Elderly populations experience a significantly higher risk of readmission after discharge from acute […]

Thermoelectric systems can produce electricity using temperature difference and heating/cooling effect using electricity. Thermoelectric systems are basically combination of p and n-type semiconductor materials. Thermoelectric systems have many advantages such as, environment friendly, no moving parts, silent in operation, and long service life. However, at this stage thermoelectric systems have very low efficiency so they […]

This project aims to develop a smart textile-based solution for early detection and management of sleep apnea, a condition that significantly impacts health, especially in those with chronic illnesses like heart failure. Traditional diagnostic methods are often inconvenient, uncomfortable, and expensive. To address these challenges, the project focuses on creating a comfortable, non-invasive, and cost-effective […]

Mon stage au sein du laboratoire de microélectronique (LME) du département des systèmes électroniques (PSI) de l’École polytechnique de l’Université de Sao Paulo, (EPUSP) sera d’une durée de quatre mois. Mon mandat sera de développer un dispositif (coupleur) qui sera utilisé dans des systèmes de communication sans fils à courte distance (quelques mètres). Le matériau […]

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a rare childhood cancer that affects part of the brainstem. DIPG is typically diagnosed in children aged 5-10 years old and does not have any effective forms of treatment. Since there are no treatments, the average survival time for children who are diagnosed with DIPG is only 11 months. […]

The proposed project aims to investigate the link between tRNA maturation and mitochondrial disease using yeast as a model system. Researchers from Carleton University in Canada will collaborate with experts from Comenius University in Slovakia to develop advanced gene-tagging techniques in yeast. This collaboration will allow for the creation of new reagents, tools, and technologies […]
