In this research project, our focus is on the development of novel, safer methods of birth control. Our investigation centers around a reproductive hormone known as AMH, which can help prevent pregnancy without the side effects of traditional methods. Building on our exciting progress in animals like cats and mice, our immediate objective is to […]

The objective of the project is to develop robust path coverage algorithms for applications arising in search and rescue in earthquake struck urban areas and fault detection in energy distribution networks. The salient feature of the algorithms that will be developed is that they take uncertainty about the model into account and provides worst case […]

Li-ion batteries are currently comprised of materials which are fairly energy intensive to mine and process which reduces their degree of sustainability. One promising approach to overcome this obstacle is to develop high capacity anode and cathode materials that use sodium which is significantly more abundant and less energy intensive to process from either sea […]

Primary liver cancer (PLC) is one of the fastest growing cancer in Canada and is a heavy global burden. To efficiently allocate the health care resource to the patients with PLC, outcome and cost analysis of the patients with PLC may be a right direction. In order to obtain enough information to accurately assess the […]

Microneedles are small sub-millimeter projections that allow for pain free access to the dermal layers of the skin. This allows for enhanced drug delivery and biosensing capabilities that are much more accessible and comfortable for the patient. This work aims to improve the capabilities of a solid metal microneedle system designed for use in electrical […]

Pain is a complex unpleasant experience that varies from a person to another. Learning, priors and expectations are known to have a substantial influence on subjective pain experience. For example, having expectations or being told that an event will be painful can be sufficient to shift a person’s pain experience into a more painful realm. […]

In the emerging sector of fintech, a novel concept known as a home equity investment is gaining traction, offering homeowners a way to access their property’s value without selling it. This financial instrument involves an investor providing a cash infusion to homeowners in exchange for a 20% ownership stake in their home. Homeowners then have […]

Les récents changements institutionnels de l’Union européenne, tels que le Traité de Lisbonne, ont renforcé son rôle et son impact, tandis que les crises, comme le Brexit et la crise migratoire, ont touché divers domaines politiques et la vie quotidienne des Européens. Ce projet explore comment les crises ont pu avoir un impact sur les […]

La mastication est une fonction vitale dont le rôle principal est de préparer les aliments pour la déglutition et la digestion en les réduisant par une série de mouvements rythmiques. Elle est régie par des circuits neuronaux du tronc cérébral, appelés générateurs de patrons centraux. Des données préliminaires du laboratoire d’accueil indiquent que la mastication […]

Le projet de recherche explore l’augmentation du nombre de groupes parlementaires à l’Assemblée nationale française, passant de quatre en 2007 à dix en 2022, en examinant les facteurs qui expliquent cette évolution. Il examine si les modifications des règles de procédures de l’Assemblée, et notamment celles relatives aux groupes parlementaires, ont contribué à cette croissance. […]
