Étude de l’interaction entre CHOP et HIF en réponse à l’hypoxie dans les cellules épithéliales alvéolaires

La fibrose pulmonaire idiopathique (FPI) est caractérisée par un remodelage des voies aériennes lié à des agressions répétées des cellules épithéliales alvéolaires (CEA). Ces CEA subissent une mort cellulaire programmée. Chez les patients atteints de FPI, des marqueurs du stress du réticulum endoplasmique (RE) et de l’hypoxie sont présents, tels les facteurs de transcription CHOP […]

A statistical method for competing risk survival analysis with clustered big data

Over the last few years, the data revolution occurred with the emergence of “Big data”. In medical field, the term big data refers to large databases in terms of patients and/or information from varied sources. Nevertheless, heterogeneity is encountered in this kind of data. Indeed, data arise from different medical centers. Furthermore, we can’t perform […]

Comparative analysis of reliability-surrogate measures using an ensemble of realistic water distribution networks

To evaluate the reliability of a water distribution system, surrogate measures are commonly used because of its easy computation and intuitive behavior. Some recent researchers have acknowledge the need to identify correlations between these indexes in order to select the ones that may be measuring similar properties of the networks and therefore are not adding […]

Automatic 3D reconstruction of Indoor Environments from Consumer-graded Cameras

With the increase demand of 3D models in urban environment, automatic indoor modeling has attracted more attention for human trajectory identification, facility management and indoor navigation. To reconstruct indoor models quickly and reliably, this project will propose a new indoor reconstruction method to automatically generate indoor semantic building models through building ground maps and images […]

Coherence of discourse of individuals with mild cognitive impairment: Relationships between language and memory.

The objective of this study is to uncover the relationship between cognitive deterioration and language performance in populations with dementia. The method used for this protocol does not require that words and grammar be taken into consideration but rather investigates coherence of discourse, which has the potential to be applied to studies of languages other […]

Cross-cultural perspectives and experiences of food addiction

Researchers have recently proposed the concept of food addiction, postulating that certain foods can provoke addictive symptoms, similar to drugs of abuse. Current understanding of food addiction is, however, limited by a paucity of qualitative research examining the validity of this construct, and of cross-cultural research examining how food addiction is experienced in non-Western societies. […]

Étude expérimentale des capacités de reprise et de croissance d’espèces arbustives pour une utilisation en génie végétal

Le génie végétal est une alternative efficace et durable dans la stabilisation de berges, conférant aux sites une plus grande naturalité que les techniques classiques de génie civil. Il se base sur différentes approches, elles-mêmes faisant intervenir plusieurs espèces selon les conditions du milieu (pédologie, hydrodynamisme) et les contraintes en présence. Ce projet de recherche […]

Sound source localization in reverberant rooms using time-reversal processing

In this project, we aim to apply the Time-Reversal (TR) principle to locate sound sources in a reverberant environment using a small hemispherical microphone array. Previously, sound source localization has been demonstrated using TR and a hemispherical array where all sources were located inside the hemisphere – however, the feasibility of using a smaller hemispherical […]

Optimization of novel UV-LED flow-through reactor

Current UV technology used to disinfect drinking water and wastewater is energy intensive, hazardous, and bulky; and the advent of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit in the ultraviolet (UV) range provides a unique opportunity to rethink how we design and implement disinfection technology. The overall objective of this project is to investigate the how […]

Inversion de la zone convective et assimilation des données de la granulation solaire

L’intérieur, la surface et l’atmosphère du Soleil sont inter-dépendants physiquement. Un bon modèle doit donc les traiter simultanément. Les données receuillies nous proviennent principalement de la surface. La recherche proposée est l’inversion de la zone convective du Soleil à partir des observations de la granulation solaire. Les granules correspondent aux sommets des cellules convectives. L’inversion […]
