Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is proven beneficial for patients with cardiovascular diseases. Currently, most healthcare systems in China provides limited CR program toward patients after the cardiac intervention. This is particularly true among the rural areas. Home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) is used to alternative center (hospital) based in many developed countries. In this proposed research, a […]

Ce projet de recherche portera sur un sujet précis : “La protection de la victime en droit pénal suisse et canadien : ses rapports avec la police et les centres de consultations”. Par une approche en droit comparé d’abord, il conviendra d’étudier la place de la victime en procédure pénale canadienne par rapport à la […]

The proposed project is to develop a method to cross-couple organic feedstock molecules using base metals and photocatalysts. The method will utilize photocatalysts to convert inert C-H bonds into highly reactive radicals that can be captured using a base metal catalyst. The hydrogen atom is an ideal coupling handle, considering its abundance in organic molecules […]

There is a need for alternative and renewable methods to produce liquid fuels and commodity chemicals and decrease the world’s dependence on fossil resources. In this regard, the modification of simple, non-food (plant) biomass-derived chemicals is an important goal towards providing a sustainable access to high-energy molecules as potential fuels and other starting materials for […]

This project aims to study how species form in the Amazon using the Silvered Antbird as a model. This species has diverged into two morphologically divergent forms. Where these forms come into geographic contact, populations appear morphologically and genetically intermediate suggesting they form a hybrid zone. To investigate the extent of genetic mixing between these […]

Accurate modelling of the climate is of paramount importance in developing strategies to mitigate the effects of climate change. The ocean is a crucial component of the climate and simulating accurate ocean conditions in climate models is therefore extremely important. However, the energy required to reach a high degree of accuracy in modelling the ocean […]

In recent years, there has been a noticeable surge in the prevalence of dialogues across various domains. The widespread adoption of dialogues, also facilitated by technologies such as ChatGPT, Bard, and Claude, underscores the considerable significance of comprehending their intricate structures. The analysis of dialogue structures offers invaluable benefits, particularly in sectors like healthcare, where […]

Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) have tremendous therapeutic potential, as recently shown by the development of messenger RNA vaccines against COVID-19. To fulfill their function in a patient, nucleic acids need to be encapsulated inside lipid-based nanoparticles (LPs), such as liposomes, but their synthetic nature leads to clearance by the immune system. This hampers nucleic […]

The performance of solar cells in underpinned by many parameters. Of importance is the constitutional composition of the light harvesting material and its periodic structure. Towards developing efficient materials, the effect of molecular structure of the light harvester and the subsequent electron transfer processes must be adequately understood. The project goal is to fill the […]

Our bodies respond to disease and pathogens by changing the expression levels of many different genes. These changes are currently only measurable using expensive instruments and analyzed using complex software, both of which are often unavailable at low-resource and remote settings. The goal of this project is to establish a novel technology for measuring these […]

En 2019, la société des Ponts Jacques Cartier et Champlain Incorporée (PJCCI) a lancé un programme de R&D associé à la déconstruction du Pont Champlain. Réalisé dans ce contexte, le présent projet consistera à déterminer en laboratoire la teneur en alcalis solubles d’échantillons de béton prélevées dans les différentes sections du Pont Champlain fournies à […]

Dans le cadre de ce projet collaboratif avec l’industrie dans lequel sont impliqués plusieurs étudiants-chercheurs, le stage consistera en l’exploration de différentes approches d’analyse et de mise en valeur de données par l’apprentissage machine. Les données à exploiter sont obtenues de capteurs embarqués sur des camions-toupies partout en Amérique du Nord. Ces capteurs permettent d’enregistrer […]
