Social mobilization and contestation have long been associated with left-leaning forces in Colombia. This activity has often been stigmatized as being promoted by left-wing guerrilla groups. However, right-wing actors have in recent years increasingly adopted modes of contentious action that were traditionally associated with the left in Colombia. How can we explain this change in […]

La commotion cérébrale suite à un traumatisme crânien peut entraîner des conséquences diverses au niveau cognitif. Il est notamment possible de développer un syndrome post-commotionnel dans les suites d’une commotion et cet état peut perdurer dans le temps. Il peut être marqué, entre autres, par des troubles de l’apprentissage notamment au niveau moteur. Cela peut […]

Emulating topological phases of matter in photonic systems appears particularly promising for engineering new generations of quantum devices more resilient to noise or external perturbations. Indeed, the great versatility of these platforms could allow developing specific architectures that have no counterparts in condensed matter. The goal of this project is to experimentally explore the fundamental […]

Modern code review (MCR) is broadly adopted as an established and effective software quality assurance practice, with an increasing number of open-source as well as commercial software projects that adopt code review as a crucial practice. The MCR process is most effective when developers follow best practices, such as efficient, collaborative and timely review discussions […]

The context of the project is fundamental research on human hearing, which has the overarching goal to improve hearing protector devices and hearing aids. The aim of the project is to predict the increased perception of physiological sounds such as one’s own voice due to a blocking of the earcanal using numerical simulations. This is […]

Le candidat à ce stage se joindra au groupe de la professeure Zhang et travaillera sur son projet de production d’hydrogène vert soutenu par ses fonds de la Chaire de recherche en génie Marcelle-Gauvreau et la nouvelle subvention académique du Fonds de recherche du Québec – Nature et technologies (FRQNT). Au cours de ce stage, […]

Le Building Information Modeling (BIM) est une innovation qui regroupe un ensemble de méthodes, processus et outils de travail permettant d’alimenter et d’exploiter des informations d’un ouvrage bâti tout au long de son cycle de vie. Les CDE (Common Data Environment) sont des « espaces numériques » ou « plateformes collaboratives » qui supportent les […]

Telomeres are nucleo-protein structures at the ends of chromosomes that are essential for preserving genomic integrity. Although many protein components of telomeres are known, their nature was studied in a relatively narrow range of organisms. The proposed research is aimed at the identification of novel players involved in telomere maintenance in a nonconventional yeast species […]

Self-driving laboratories are becoming more feasible thanks to the advances in the robotics and machine learning fields. Development of these laboratories to deal with scientific challenges are promising as they can operate faster while being cost and labor efficient. Despite harvesting of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power is becoming cheaper and […]

Most mammals require care from older individuals during early life. Mothers tend to be the primary caregivers during this time, but in some mammals, notably social carnivores, rodents, and primates, care can be provided by conspecifics. In most primate species, allomothers tend to be female, making infant care by males a rare behaviour. Recently, we […]

The City of Calgary has identified four locations along the Elbow River where erosion may be(come) of concern for the safety of the nearby urban areas. This project will study the change in the shape of the Elbow River over time and in different conditions in order to enhance the understanding of its behaviour. This […]

Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLBs) are considered the “holy grail” of battery chemistry because of their high capacity and energy density and will remain the dominating technology for the foreseeable future. However, lithium-metal anodes may trigger dendrites growth at high current, which reduces their cycle life, and safety, making SSLBs more challenging to commercialize. Also, […]
