La biomasse est considérée comme une source disponible et une alternative viable au pétrole. La lignine est actuellement une des formes de biomasse la plus ciblée car elle possède une structure polymérique unique contenant des unités aromatiques. Pour accéder aux motifs aromatiques a faible masse moléculaire, les chimistes ont ciblé la liaison ?-O-4 de la […]

Le projet étudiera par une modélisation par prime-editing dans une lignée marcophagique des anomalies génétiques d’une protéine régulant la destinée cellulaire entre réponse inflammatoire et mort cellulaire. La compréhension des mécanismes régulant ces deux phénomènes antagonistes devrait permettre le développement de thérapies ciblées dans les domaines de la cancérologie et de l’inflammation.

In recent years ·complex deep neural networks have achieved outstanding performance on challenging tasks such as language models, classifiers and machine translation but they have remained as a mystery for the users. Due to their hidden and difficult to comprehend internal structure, as well as to their sheer size, they are often referred to as […]

L’établissement au XVIIe-XVIIIe siècle d’immigrants d’origine française à Montréal a entraîné le développement d’un centre urbain en marge d’un vaste territoire Autochtone. Si les fondateurs de Montréal y entrevoyaient une population biculturelle, mais catholique, l’élite commerciale et religieuse a imprimé son identité sur l’histoire de la ville, en marginalisant la présence autochtone. Le cimetière de […]

As the climate change problem has been a serious global issue, we have been making effort replace internal combustion engine to electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce carbon emission. As demand for EVs increases, it is necessary to research an infrastructure; such as an efficient and intelligent EV charging system, to support various charging services. Wireless […]

Sujet du stage : L’étudiant effectuera un stage de recherche portant sur l’exploration de l’adéquation des besoins exprimés par les personnes vivant avec de la douleur chronique face aux soins de physiothérapie et les politiques cliniques et organisationnels des milieux de soins privés et publics de physiothérapie au Québec. Des soins éthiques reposent sur la […]

The economy is an important factor of the vote choice. Understanding how perceptions of the economy are formed is therefore crucial. These perceptions have been presented as an echo of partisan preferences or as a reflection of citizens’ level of sophistication. A number of scholars have recently started to reconsider how perceptions of the economy […]

The proposed research project will aim to measure the reliability of changes in brain activity induced by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). rTMS is a non-invasive therapy that has been used to evoke changes in local and network-level brain activity in various clinical populations, including stroke and depression. The proposed project will test rTMS effectiveness […]

Virtual agents based on artificial intelligence have become increasingly popular on social media. Examples of Lil Miquela or Shudu Gram show how completely artificial agents can have a significant influence on our social lives, and especially social media marketing. However, it stands to question how these virtual influencers are actually perceived by consumers, whether they […]

Aflatoxins (AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, AFG2) are poisonous mycotoxins that are produced by two common molds, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, in cereal grains and maize. When dairy cows ingest AFB1 toxin through contaminated feed, it is metabolized into carcinogenic AFM1 toxin, and it is transferred in milk. AFM1 contamination of milk poses a significant health […]

Cancer is a disease that involves the uncontrolled division of cells in the body. Cancer begins when the cells disobey normal cell division and cell death processes and is a disease that affects millions of people worldwide. There is a type of cancer that is caused by a mutation in the epidermal growth factor receptor […]

Nous étudierons les mécanismes moléculaires des interactions virus-hôte du virus de la diarrhée épidémique porcine (PEDV), un important coronavirus porcin à ARN enveloppé. Ce virus est responsable de graves pertes économiques et constitue le principal agent pathogène émergent du porc au Canada et dans le monde. Nous proposons d’étudier les mécanismes moléculaires des interactions hôte-PEDV, […]
