L’objectif du projet Mitacs Globalink est d’intégrer l’outil de visualisation Cosma à l’éditeur de texte Stylo. La stagiaire sera la seule stagiaire affectée à cette tâche. Cette intégration permettra un enrichissement des données des articles sur Stylo, pour les auteur·e·s comme pour les revues. Les auteur·e·s pourront valoriser les liens entre leurs propres textes, dans […]

Cyber-physical systems (e.g., planes, cars, medical devices) are systems where the software extensively interact with their working environment. The software of these systems is typically made by multiple software components. Effectively managing these software components is challenging since software failures can lead to catastrophic consequences. To ensure safety, engineers need to ensure that hazards are […]

Within museum collections, formalin fixed samples have long posed persistent challenges in acquiring viable nucleic acids for taxonomic and phylogenomic reconstructions. This proposal represents a vital first step in determining the presence or absence of formalin and its derivatives in the formalin fixed historic samples located at the Smithsonian Institution where the oldest can be […]

Candida albicans is an important human fungal pathogen and commensal member of the microbiota. It colonizes the skin, gut, and reproductive tract of most healthy individuals without complications – a state known as commensalism. However under conditions that weaken the immune system, antibiotic use, and damage to the lining of the gut, C. albicans can […]

The electromyography (EMG) signals are biological signals, which are related to the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles. To measure and analyze EMG signals, we will use noninvasive EMG surface electrodes. The EMG signals allow knowing the intention of the movement before that the movement happens; this is because of the electromechanical delay of the […]

The upcoming research internship will explore how a specific class of ligands incorporating cyclopentadienyl and carbene moieties can stabilize less common, low oxidation states of certain heavier elements like germanium, tin, antimony, and bismuth. This computational study aims to understand the unique bonding and reactivity patterns of these compounds. By simulating these reactions computationally, the […]

The rural poor of Northeast Brazil do not have time to waste; their entire livelihood is dependent on using their time wisely. The objective of the proposed project is to better understand not only how access to clean water impacts the time-use decisions of the rural poor in Brazil, but why these patterns exist. A […]

Representation and accountability are essential for the proper functioning of democracy. Through a close examination of Brazil since the 1990’s, this project investigates the conditions that make a country move toward stronger representation and accountability. Like many Latin American countries, Brazil was neither an institutionalized nor a representative democracy in the 1990s. Although the president […]

La science, la technologie et l’innovation (STI) n’ont jamais été aussi présentes à l’ordre du jour international. Dans un contexte post-COVID-19 dans lequel les relations entre les gouvernements, les décideurs politiques et la communauté scientifique ont changé, parmi les «?leçons apprises?» figure l’importance de développer des capacités productives de recherche et de développement. La science […]

The Canadian-Chilean Array for Radio Transient Studies (CHARTS) project is a collaborative effort between the University of Toronto in Canada and the Universidad de Chile in Chile. CHARTS is dedicated to detecting and analyzing powerful extragalactic signals known as Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). The primary goal of the Globalink research project is to develop and […]

The proposed research project aims to analyze trends in psychopharmacology research, focusing on how different funding sources influence research topics. This analysis will help understand how the field has evolved over time and whether corporate interests dominate the research agenda. By conducting this study, the participating institutions will gain valuable insights into the current state […]

Le statut des lanceurs d’alerte dans le secteur public est un sujet complexe qui soulève des questions juridiques, éthiques et sociales importantes. La définition légale précise et les garanties de confidentialité offrent en France une protection substantielle, mais des défis subsistent quant à la réaction institutionnelle et à la perception sociale. Les lois sur les […]
