The forests of Canada are under acute risk of been introduced to new non-native forest invasive alien species (FIAS) due to increase in free trade, climate change, anthropogenic activities, lack of natural enemies and environmental considerations that will limit the control and eradication process. In recognition to FIAS ability to threaten the country’s environment and […]

Monitoring is fundamental to network management. Accurate and timely statistics at different granularities (e.g., per-user, per-device etc.) are essential for many network management applications (e.g., traffic engineering, failure detection etc.). Contemporary monitoring solutions (e.g., Cisco Netflow) are proprietary, inflexible, and incur a large up-front licensing and setup cost. Alternatively, dedicated hardware devices for monitoring can […]

The field of genomics is a rapidly developing field that offers many innovative insights into how living organisms function, adapt to their environment and evolve over time. Genomics studies genomes, i.e. complete sets of DNA present in every cell, and their functionality. In the proposed project I will refine the genome for the North American […]

La radiochirurgie stéréotaxique sans cadre est une technique avancée de radiothérapie permettant de localiser très précisément une dose de radiation sans avoir recours à des technique d’immobilisation douloureuses pour le patient. Ses applications principales sont le traitement de tumeurs cancéreuses et la névralgie du nerf trijumeau. De par la recherche et le développement des deux […]

Les préoccupations environnementales et les législations sur la production porcine ont exercé une énorme pression pour réduire l’excrétion de certains nutriments, en particulier le phosphore (P). Les scientifiques doivent relever le défi de faire un régime approprié en P et calcium (Ca) pour maximiser les performances et la santé de l’animal tout en assurant l’acceptabilité […]

It is well known that fluids can be drawn along a small fibre with a conical shape. This strategy is used in nature, for example the beaks of some birds, the spines on cacti, and the needles on some carnivorous trees, are shaped so that water can be efficiently transported. Our hope is that the […]

L’objectif de ce projet est de développer une biopuce capable de détecter et quantifier des cellules dans un échantillon liquide. Son ambition est d’améliorer la limite de détection et la facilité d’utilisation actuelle des biopuces en amenant les cellules cibles jusqu’à la partie sensible du capteur, sans marquage préalable. L’effet utilisé pour concentrer les cellules […]

The World Health Organization recommends countries adopt a sugary drink tax to curb consumption. My project aims to explore the acceptability of a sugary drink tax among Indian university students. In order to meet this aim, I will spend three months living on-campus at the University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad. During this time, I will […]

The World Health Organization recommends countries adopt a sugary drink tax to curb consumption. My project aims to explore the acceptability of a sugary drink tax among Indian adults who consume sugary drinks. In order to meet this aim, I will spend three months living in Dharwad, India. During this time, I will keep detailed […]

The proposed community-based research project will explore what factors influence mothers’ food choices when they plan meals for their children 6-8 months old in Faizabad district,Uttar Pradesh. Introducing a variety of soft, semi-solid and solid foods into a child’s diet, at 6-8 months of age, is critical to the child’s growth and development, preventing the […]

This project will investigate, reflect on, and compare the pedagogical frameworks of human ecology/home economics education in the three Australian education streams: State, Private, and Catholic. It will assess how Victorian human ecological pedagogy incorporates curriculum, and consequently, classroom content in several domains, including HMEC and Indigenous peoples. Additional aspects that will be examined include […]

La jonction sacro-iliaque (JSI) est une articulation du bassin ayant des déplacements en translation et rotation très limités, difficiles à mesurer. Des vis traversant la JSI et menant à sa fusion sont utilisées comme dernier recours en cas de douleurs chroniques. Toutefois, les configurations utilisées varient selon le chirurgien puisqu’il n’y a pas de consensus […]
