Aujourd’hui, les avancées de la robotique permettent aux personnes atteintes de trouble musculo-squelettique de s’équiper d’un bras d’assistance, habituellement placé sur leur fauteuil motorisé, qu’ils peuvent contrôler via une manette spécialement calibrée à leur niveau de force musculaire. Il a été démontré que ces bras robotiques sont bénéfiques à l’autonomie et à l’habileté de ces […]

Pancratistatin (PST) has been shown to selectively eliminate human cancer cells, but has not been used extensively in clinical trials due to its low availability in nature. Recently, different forms of PST have been synthesized and have demonstrated anti-cancer activity. These synthesized PST molecules have been tested on prostate, pancreatic, osteosarcoma and colorectal cancer cells. […]

The aims of the project are to address: why female international STEM students choose Denmark; what hurdles international students face in applying for post graduate work in the innovation sector and permanent residency and if there are any distinct hurdles for female students; what strategies stakeholders are utilizing to retain foreign talent;and how can existing […]

n power generation and delivery systems, there are always a number of control/design parameters and set-points that should be tuned to some optimum values for maximizing efficiency and output power. For example, in photovoltaic cells, there is an optimum load value that maximizes the output power. This value may change over time depending on the […]

Qu’est-ce que la supraconductivité non-conventionnelle? C’est un phénomène quantique se produisant à haute température dans certains matériaux et associé à la disparition de toute résistance électrique et par l’expulsion des champs magnétiques, une fois ces derniers refroidis sous une température critique Tc et en présence d’un champ magnétique inférieur à un champ magnétique critique Hc. […]

This research project is an exploration of the salient health benefits of participating in chant-based music experiences, ultimately to determine whether or not such music making can have perceived therapeutic impact. Merging the fields of music therapy and medical ethnomusicology, I will examine kirtan chanting as ‘sacred community music therapy’ and utilize a five-dimensions model […]

The aim of this project is to design fast computing a fundamental mathematical object called algebraic relations, particularly on Pade approximants and multivariate interpolants. This is motivated by numerous important applications, within computer algebra itself and in related fields such as cryptology, coding theory, and polynomial optimization. The goal is twofold: first, to design algorithms […]

Bacterial biofilm formation on medical devices remains an unsolved medical challenge. Biofilms are communities of bacteria within which bacteria are able to become highly resistant to antibiotics and the host’s immune system. Developing materials that prevent biofilm formation is limited by a lack of understanding about how bacteria attach to and form biofilm on surfaces. […]

The goal of this work will be to explore different ways to visualize and interact with knowledge extracted automatically from very large heterogeneous document collections. This extracted knowledge will be in the form of a multi-attribute graph of extracted entities and relationships between them. These relationships will be associated with both temporal and spatial information. […]

Comment les enfants grandissent-ils au sein des communautés juives hassidiques de New York ? Quelles représentations guident les pratiques des mères dans ce processus ? De quelle façon le genre, la langue et l’école sont pensés et interviennent dans la socialisation des enfants ? Et enfin, comment se déroulent les interactions entres mères et enfants […]

Des fausses nouvelles aux the?ories du complot, la question de l’e?valuation de l’information est au cœur de l’actualite? sociale, e?conomique ou environnementale. En effet, pour certains, Internet et les re?seaux sociaux contribueraient a? la diffusion de rumeurs vis-a?-vis desquelles les jeunes et, par conse?quent, les e?tudiant·e·s ne seraient pas suffisamment outille?s. Pourtant, plusieurs de ces […]

This project will combine specialized land cover, climate, and ecosystem services models into a single platform via the Dinamica EGO platform, linking them together using feedback systems. Using a deforestation model in Costa Rica as a baseline, with a climate change model, CORDEX, and a water services model, SWAT, we can produce a more complete […]
