Development of carbon storage technology for peatlands using microbial decomposition mechanisms

The goal of this study is to identify mechanisms of microbial decomposition activity over the restoration periods of peatlands, which play an important role in carbon storage, thereby contributing to improvement of development of ‘carbon neutral technologies’ and incomplete ‘global carbon budget’. Real-time qPCR will be used to quantify the abundance of 16S rRNA (Bacteria), […]

Functional investigation of the dynamics of TERRA in cancer cells

The research project is focused on the study of TERRA (Telomeric Repeat containing RNA) dynamics in cancer cells to understand the relationship between cancer and telomere. TERRA long noncoding RNAs have been proposed to play important roles in telomere biology. However, the dynamics of TERRA molecules are yet to be elucidated. Indeed, in human cells, […]

Situated Knowledge on Dementia Care Practices: Comparing Israel and Canada

The research project will look at modes and types of localized knowledge on the span of diseases under the umbrella of dementia. The project will try to detect and compare modes of knowledge transition, dispersion, and production about dementia prevention and early detection within and across two different cultural and social settings: the Canadian and […]

Engineering of glycan-binding proteins for mapping cancer glycomics

Over the last decade, chemical biology approaches have proven increasingly successful, delivering new solutions to problems that were previously unresponsive to traditional chemical and biochemical techniques. In the fields of proteomics and genomics, new diagnostics and therapeutic strategies are revolutionizing healthcare. However, in the field of glycomics, tractable strategies to study glycan (carbohydrate)-mediated processes remain […]

Effets d’un entraînement à l’effort sur les adaptations hémodynamiques de patients coronariens: vers la détermination de variables prédictives de réponse à l’entraînement.

L’impact bénéfique de l’activité physique dans le traitement de nombreuses pathologies est largement démontré et son importance dans la réadaptation cardiaque est avérée. En parallèle, l’utilisation de différents biomarqueurs comme évaluation des processus physiopathologiques relatifs à la maladie coronarienne et l’IC est de plus en plus répandue. Cependant, il n’existe pas à ce jour « […]

Testing of a MEMS gravimeter on a drone over the Mt Meager volcanic complex

Gravimetry is an important geophysical method for remote sensing of sub-surface geological structures and systems via detection of mass and/or density changes. Applications are both academic and industrial. Currently, gravimetry surveys are carried out using sensors that are very sensitive, but also heavy and expensive. Both specifications make gravimetric studies expensive and practically very difficult, […]

Développement de nanoparticules ciblant les neutrophiles de faible densité pour la prise en charge potentielle du lupus érythémateux systémique.

Ce projet pluridisciplinaire vise à développer des nanoparticules combattant la nétose, réaction immunitaire des neutrophiles qui est détournée par certaines maladies et qui conduit à la production massive et délétère de “filets d’ADN” qui compliquent le fonctionnement normal de l’organisme. Ce phénomène, qui provient du terme “NETs” en anglais, a été récemment identifié comme un […]

Artificial Intelligence based pavement distress detection and monitoring system

The Road Pavements are subjected to distress due to heavy traffic load and environmental factor and is a common cause of accidents resulting in loss of valuable life and economic losses. Regular monitoring and timely maintenance is the key to ensuring a healthy roadway infrastructure. Traditional methods of manual monitoring are time consuming, expensive and […]

Transport Properties of Layered 2D and TMD Materials Based Devices

My doctoral research work is based on the optoelectronic, and transport properties of layered two-dimensional (2D) and transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials-based devices. Currently I am fabricating devices and studying their electron transport properties. The next target, to characterize the heat transportation in these devices, can’t be completed at my home institution because it requires […]

Les visages du Platonisme dans la doctrine de l’image de Fichte

Le pre?sent de projet de recherche s’inscrit dans le cadre de ma the?se de doctorat, consacrée, d’une part, à l’influence de l’œuvre de Platon et de certains de ses he?ritiers (Plotin, Maitre Eckhart, etc.) sur la pensée du fondateur de l’idéalisme allemand J.G. Fichte, d’autre part, à la reconfiguration active, et en un sens à […]
