Having more stable soil organic matter (SOM) in a land use systems means that less CO2 maybe emitted per unit area of land when the land is subject to an increasing temperature (global warming). The objectives of the project are two-fold: 1) to analyze short-term biological SOM stability in hedgerow and shelterbelt agroforestry systems, and […]

L’herpèsvirus humain 6B (HHV-6B), virus de la roséole, infecte près de 95% de la population avant l’âge de deux ans. Il est connu qu’HHV-6B intègre son matériel génétique aux télomères de la cellule qu’il infecte, régions des chromosomes qui contrôlent la durée de vie des cellules. Il est anticipé qu’une insertion d’HHV-6B à cet endroit […]

As our population ages, the burden of dementia is growing. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia; currently we do not have any disease-modifying treatments for AD. There is motivation to better understand the mechanisms of AD development and expression to control the burden of disease. Frailty is related to neuropathological features […]

Mon projet consiste à explorer l’interface entre électrode et électrolyte solide pour le développement des batteries lithium-ion tout solide en utilisant la DFT (chimie computationnelle). La batterie aux ions lithium est le système de stockage d’énergie le plus prometteur qui puisse être couplé aux énergies renouvelables. Néanmoins, la présence de solvants inflammables dans l’électrolyte liquide […]

Proteins make up a large part of every organism, comprising a significant portion of teeth, hair, bone, tissue, and horn. The composition of proteins is highly variable, and these differences cause the physical differences between, species, populations, and individuals and give rise to many of the pathologies that can affect organisms. Studying proteins and their […]

This innovative investigation into cross-border, online biliteracy curriculum is a timely response to Canada’s two major future challenge areas, namely, how to leverage emerging technologies to benefit Canadians and what knowledge to produce for Canada to thrive in an interconnected, evolving global landscape. Led by experienced researchers in the areas of cross-border literacy curriculum and […]

The deployment of WSN in various field actually boost the quality of our daily life. Unfortunately, with the increasingly exponential growth of devices and vulnerability of wireless transmission being exposed to the air, secure transmission of WSN has drawn plenty of attention both in the community of communication and signal processing. For the sake of […]

Participating to the Mitacs Globalink program will give me the chance to carry on research at TUM, joing the research group at the Lehrstuhl fur Technische Chemie II. I will work under the supervision of Prof. Johannes Lercher and I will learn how to combine advanced physicochemical methods to characterize the methane reaction on surfaces […]

Ca2+ is a very important signaling molecules for animals and plants alike. Ca2+ signaling has been heavily studied in animals but relatively less is understood in plants. Cyclic Nucleotide Gated Ion Channels (CNGCs) are important channels that are thought to be important in regulating Ca2+ homeostasis under different conditions in plants. The goal of this […]

This research will (i) identify and quantify potential flexibility that is inherent in gas and heat systems (e.g. gas and thermal storage and demand response capability) across various scales (i.e. buildings, district heating system, national gas transmission systems), (ii) optimize the provision of flexibility from gas and heat systems to support the operation of a […]

Partant des concepts de droit à la ville (Lefebre, 1968) et de justice spatiale (Soja 2010), cette étude considère les espaces publics (Paquot, 2015) comme une ressource urbaine, indispensable à l’utilisation du transport en commun (TC). Les adolescentes sont confrontées à l’exclusion, en particulier dans les villes du Sud: les filles sont responsables des tâches […]

Pyrite is an important mineral known to incorporate significant amounts of precious-metals (i.e. gold) within its crystal structure. Previous studies have suggested that when pyrite is subjected to high temperature conditions and plastically deforms, it releases such metals that are remobilized and concentrated into important economic ore deposits. However, the plastic behavior of pyrite and […]
