Asbestos was once used extensively in the fabrication of a variety of products and materials. After being declared a carcinogen and linked with a variety of lung diseases more than 2 decades ago, the use of asbestos was banned in many countries. Yet, asbestos remains a public health concern worldwide and one of the leading […]

The CookieBox is an angular streaking detector developed for LCLS-II which extracts intrinsic characteristics from an X-ray shot. Those characteristics can then be used to classify and determine if the X-ray shot respects the pre-established experimental framework. However, to be of any value to the rest of the experiment, this classification must be done quickly, […]

L’objectif de mon travail est d’améliorer l’efficacité globale du rendement énergétique dans le domaine de l’installation de l’entreprise Stace, spécialisée dans le CPV (Photovoltaïque à concentration). Pour ce faire, la solution retenue consiste à insérer un étage intermédiaire de conversion DC/DC entre les panneaux CPV (en configuration série) et l’onduleur branché à chaque tracker. L’idée […]

This proposal focuses on the development of an innovative material combining a soy-based resin system with advanced unidirectional flax fibers that would result in a bio-inspired composite material with outstanding mechanical performances. The soy-based resin system developed is a polyurethane reactive resin that with further studies may form a thermoplastic structure offering the advantages of […]

The proposed work will involve the development of a fully coupled Thermal-Hydro-Mechanical (THM) model to study the behavior of cold CO2 fluid injection with surrounding rock. The numerical solution is based on the 2-D thermo-poroelastic displacement discontinuity method (DDM), which is a nonlinear joint deformation model, coupled with the finite element method (FEM) for solving […]

Les lansquenets constituent, au début de l’époque moderne, le plus imposant groupe de mercenaires en Europe. Or, bien peu d’études dans les mondes anglophone et francophone ont comme sujet ces mercenaires allemands. Ainsi, le projet cherche à mettre en lumière cette figure importante de la première modernité. Pour se faire, un travail de recherche dans […]

Bone graft substitutes are used when the defect in the bone is so large that the body cannot heal naturally. Tissue engineering involves the production of materials that when combined with cells are able to fill the volume of the defect. Over time, degradable materials are replaced by bone and the natural state is eventually […]

Notre projet de recherche vise au développement d’un nouveau système neuroprosthétique. Cette étude nous permettra à raffiner les paramètres d’une lésion médullaire cervical à fin d’investiguer la récupération de la motricité fine à l’aide d’une neuroprothèse intra-corticale. Nous avons démontré l’efficacité de cet outil de neuromodulation dans la restauration de la marche du membre postérieur. […]

Recent telescope observations have discovered clusters of galaxies when the universe was only 10% of its current age. They formed stars vigorously at rates of up to 10,000 solar masses per year, quite the opposite of nearby galaxy clusters that are predominantly quiescent. The cause for their extreme starburst nature of the most distant protoclusters […]

In order to enable spot application of farm inputs such as pesticide and fertilizers using general purpose boom sprayers, the sensors that detect variation of the field (mainly machine vision systems) should be integrated to the boom sprayer using its standardized ISOBUS communication protocol. During this internship, a single board computer designed by the intern […]

The purpose of this research project is to analyze and understand the relationship between the European Union and the Polish political party Law and Justice (Prawo i Sprawiedliwo??, PiS) in both the party’s present and past, with an emphasis on how the party has formed an identity in opposition to “European values” and creating a […]

We propose to produce a self-contained analysis and reduction of the equations of motion of the much-studied three body problem, making application to the Great Inequality (GI) of Jupiter and Saturn. The GI is a result of the mutual gravitational attraction between these two planets. Their orbits are very nearly in resonance (integer ratio of […]
