Increasing concentrations of colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) due to land-use permafrost thawing and landscape vegetation are darkening Northern Hemisphere freshwaters. In addition, mining activities increase water turbidity. In Chile, the same phenomena are observed, and melting glaciers are also responsible for increased turbidity. CDOM and turbidity are part of the optical habitat of fish, […]

This research project focuses on regulating the levels of the catalytic subunit RPB1 of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) in complex eukaryotic organisms. Dr. Svejstrup’s lab has engineered a degradable cell line to rapidly adjust RPB1 levels, allowing the exploration of regulatory elements in the POLR2A gene. The aim is to identify promoter regions sensitive to […]

This project in collaboration with Oxford University focuses on improving how robots work together through coarse Collaborative Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). SLAM technology is crucial for autonomous navigation, allowing robots to map and understand their surroundings while providing real-time localization estimates. The coarse approach we aim to develop would simplify how robots map their […]

This research proposes a systematic workflow, which utilizes theoretical approaches to identify the complex fluid flow mechanisms and quantify the phase behaviour of confined fluids for geothermal reservoirs. Due to the complexity of tight geothermal reservoirs, conventional EOS cannot be efficiently applied since it does not take into account the interactions between molecules-molecules (m-m) and […]

The chart of synaptic connections within a mammalian brain will serve as a reference map for generations, rivaling the impact of reference genomes. However, such maps have been elusive because current microscopy-based methods do not scale and necessitate sample destruction, losing the developmental history of synapses. We propose a novel “DNA tape” system that uses […]

La pair-aidance est un mode d’accompagnement entre pairs qui composent ou ont composé avec des expériences de vie difficiles de même nature. Au cours cet accompagnement un pair-aidant (PA) met à disposition d’autres patients son savoir expérientiel, issu de sa vie avec la maladie, pour offrir un soutien émotionnel, expérientiel et informationnel aux patients accompagnés. […]

The proposed research aims to apply the capabilities of machine learning to study molecular models of cell membranes. Cell membranes are composed of fluid lipid bilayers with a highly dynamic nature. By developing neural network models for the simulation of lipid bilayers, we seek to overcome the shortcomings of current computational methods, providing superior accuracy […]

Notre séjour de recherche à l’Université de Rome – La Sapienza s’inscrit dans le cadre de notre thèse doctorale en sciences humaines la poésie d’amour en langue romane, premier mouvement culturel et littéraire à diffusion internationale dans l’Occident médiéval. Œuvre des troubadours issus du sud de la France, composée en langue occitane, puis de plusieurs […]

Heart disease bears a heavy burden on the health care system. Curative approaches are extremely limited and surgery is often the best course of treatment. Heart disease encompasses a variety of disorders, but among these, myocardial infarction (MI), or a heart attack, presents an especially difficult case for treatment. MI is caused by destruction of […]

Les mesures par contact des vibrations structurelles sont effectuées traditionnellement à l’aide d’accéléromètres. Les mesures de vibrations sans contact ont été initiées avec la vibrométrie laser Doppler, mais le nombre d’applications à des excitation transitoires reste limité car la vibrométrie nécessite une opération de scan. Les techniques photographiques, comme la déflectométrie ou la corrélation d’images […]

The objectives of this Globalink research project are to study in China and compare it to that of Canada, more specifically the philosophy behind teachers, classrooms, and schools. One sub- objective includes comparing the difference between China and Canada’s teaching philosophies. For example, what specifically do these countries do differently in the grades 4 – […]

We propose a semi-automated brain lesions segmentation method utilizing deep learning techniques and point prompting such as foundation models (SAM). This developed approach aims to assist physicians in the follow-up of multiple sclerosis disease at different stages, enhancing the likelihood of successful treatment for patients. The key contribution of this research lies in the advancement […]
