Simulation-based training is an critical supplement to current clinical training. However, implementing simulation technology into a curriculum to maximize training outcomes still presents a significant challenge. It is important to consider multiple factors and their impact on trainee cognitive load. In the past, we have adjusted the target stability to manage the cognitive load of […]

The project studies the green production of ammonia (NH3) for use in fertilizers and as a green fuel. In the method we are studying, connecting an electrochemical cell to a power source allows nitrogen (N2) gas to react with electrons (e-) and protons (H+) on the negative electrode (cathode) to produce NH3. To increase the […]

The proposed project aims to explore the significance of advance directives for people with cancer in palliative care in Medellín, Antioquia. This study is crucial for healthcare professionals and institutions involved in end-of-life care. The findings will provide valuable insights for direct caregivers, training programs in healthcare, administrative decisions in palliative care settings, and the […]

L’histoire de l’Amérique française est, assurément, en plein renouvellement : sous le double coup des avancées de l’histoire globale et de l’histoire impériale, la Nouvelle-France est désormais réinsérée dans un jeu à plusieurs échelles où interagissent les espaces caribéen, nord-américain et européen. Pour autant, si l’histoire sociale et l’histoire urbaine ont déjà bénéficié de l’élargissement […]

This project aims to explore the mechanical behaviors of ferroelectric polymers, focusing on P(VDF-TrFE), through atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. By investigating the frictional properties of P(VDF-TrFE) and similar materials using AFM-based methods such as transverse shear microscopy (TSM) and friction force microscopy (FFM), the project seeks to uncover the relationship between electrical polarization and […]

In the last decade, “Conditional Cash Transfers” (CCTs) have spread across Latin America. CCTs involve small, monthly cash transfers to poor families on the condition that children attend school and obtain vaccinations. Studies suggest that these transfers are relatively effective at alleviating extreme poverty. But what are their impacts beyond the material realm? This project […]

To respond to the lack of digital tools for small-scale farmers, our team has been developing Litefarm (https://www.litefarm.org), a free and open source multifunctional web app which can be used by farmers to enter data for farm management, obtaining organic certification, and participatory assessment of agroecological outputs. Launched in 2020, LiteFarm is now the world’s […]

This project, a collaborative effort between TU Munich and the University of Calgary, aims to use an innovative electrotactile tongue display system for robotic teleoperation in surgery. In robotic-assisted surgeries, surgeons lack the direct ‘touch’ feedback that traditional surgery offers, often leading to a reliance on visual cues for force application. This gap can affect […]

Le suicide est un enjeu majeur de santé publique représentant environ 700 000 décès par an dans le monde. Alors que la prématurité concerne environ 10% des naissances, les études corrélationnelles ont montré des associations inconsistantes entre la prématurité et le risque de suicide. Ainsi, nous ne savons pas si cette relation reflète une conséquence […]

Abdominal aortic aneurysms are a critical cardiovascular disease with a mortality rate over 80% when ruptured. With limited treatment options, especially for early-stage aneurysms, this project proposes the use of a novel therapeutic to limit growth and effectively treat early-stage AAA. The overall objective is to develop and evaluate the efficacy of stem cell delivery […]

À la suite de la crise immobilière de 2008, le gouvernement vietnamien met en place des politiques favorisant la conversion de projets de logements commerciaux en logements sociaux. En raison du grand nombre de promoteurs cherchant à convertir leurs projets, la planification du logement social par l’État se voit bouleversée. Il est donc d’intérêt d’en […]

Our goal is to uncover patterns and structures hidden in complex biological data measured at the single-cell resolution. We propose to incorporate multiscale information, comprising both local and global information, to describe the shape of datasets as a whole. Current work typically only focuses on local structures, like groups of similar cells and transitions between […]
