Evaluating the Influence of Student-Teacher Relationships on Chinese and Canadian Elementary School Systems

I will look at the interactions between Canadian elementary students as well as Chinese elementary students and their respective teacher. Through observation and casual conversations I will record how the relationships affect the learning of of students and what kind of effects this produces outside of the classroom setting. This information will be compared with […]

Using soil water stable isotopes (?18O and ?2H) in the unsaturated zone to assess groundwater recharge and evapotranspiration in Nordic humid region dominated by snowmelt

The groundwater recharge is the quantity of water reaching, through infiltration, the groundwater already existed in the geological formation. The groundwater recharge is considered as relevant parameter for evaluating the water resources. In Nordic countries including Canada, the highest groundwater recharge is often associated with snowmelt, and it is affected by the geology of site […]

Synthèse d’inhibiteurs ? en structure d’épingle à cheveux du point de contrôle PD-1 / PD-L1

Il a été démontré que les tumeurs exploitent certains mécanismes liés aux récepteurs immunitaires (point de contrôle) pour échapper à la réponse immunitaire. La mise sur le marché d’anticorps monoclonaux (mAbs) approuvés par la FDA, pembrolizumab et nivolumab en tant qu’inhibiteurs du récepteur immunitaire programmed death-1 (PD-1), et du durvalumab et de l’avelumab qui ciblent […]

Higher versus lower load resistance training in young men

There is substantial variability in an individual’s ability to increase muscle mass following resistance exercise training (RET). The final chapter of my doctoral thesis is designed to explore the relative influence extrinsic (e.g., the load lifted per repetition) vs. intrinsic (e.g., rates of protein turnover) factors have on RET-induced muscle hypertrophy. I am applying for […]

Diluted mean field spin glass models

I want to master the modern mathematical theory of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick and related spin glass models. The field spin glass models originate in theoretical statistical physics. After learning current results, I plan to start working on some open problems, such as in the setting of the diluted Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model, which is not completely understood today. […]
