Les figures grand-parentales dans le soutien autour de la naissance

L’arrivée d’un bébé entraîne d’importants bouleversements physiologiques et psychologiques chez les devenant-parents. Dépendamment de leur contexte personnel, familial et culturel, les parents vont faire appel à des personnes de leur entourage faisant fonction de figures grands-parentales, pouvant les soutenir émotionnellement et matériellement. Cette recherche clinique s’appuie sur un protocole de suivi des parents et de […]

Assemblage et évolution de la structure de génomes anciens et actuels

Depuis tout temps, l’homme ne cesse de vouloir déterminer son origine. La phylogénie est la branche de la science s’intéressant à la reconstruction des liens de parentés. Depuis les années 60 et l’avénement de la biologie moléculaire, il est possible de reconstruire les liens de parentés non plus uniquement par les caractères morphologiques mais également […]

Justice sociale et enjeu ethnolinguistique dans le travail d’organisation communautaire à Montréal. Etude en sociolinguistique urbaine d’un organisme de l’arrondissement Verdun

L’arrondissement Verdun à Montréal est un espace de pluralité sociale et linguistique (plurilinguisme historique, immigration, rénovation urbaine, etc.) dans lequel coexistent nécessairement, comme ailleurs, une multitude de représentations et d’attitudes vis-à-vis des espaces, des langues et des identités. Cette diversité sociale, et les enjeux de justice qui l’accompagnent, pourraient s’interroger via les discours (et donc […]

Modelling of Surgical Workflows

Minimally invasive interventions are becoming increasingly common as they improve patient outcomes such as recovery time and infection risk; however, these procedures can be difficult for operators to learn. To improve surgical training efficacy, computer-assisted training, which must provide feedback in the form of instruction and skill evaluation, can be used. The training system must […]

Improving bend gesture accuracy using simulated tactile properties

Bend gestures on flexible devices allow users to provide subtle and continuous input to a computing device by bending a corner or a side of the device in question. The depth of bend can be used to control, for example, the speed at which the user scrolls through a document. This kind of input could […]

The development of olfaction in Sepia officinalis

As a complex species of mollusk, the common cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis, has a unique physiology with multiple traits, such as their complicated brains that are similar to vertebrates. With these similarities, S. officinalis provides a novel perspective for understanding olfaction. Critical across the animal kingdom, olfaction allows for complex behaviors such as detection of food, […]

Le pouvoir des femmes kaingangs pentecôtistes

La question de la relation entre la religion et la conceptualisation des rôles des genres commencent à préoccuper chercheurs du monde entier. Dans une religion en forte expansion comme le pentecôtisme, où plus des deux tiers sont des femmes, cette question mérite d’autant plus d’attention. Depuis 20 ans, le nombre d’adeptes du pentecôtisme a significativement […]

Selling Awareness: Comparing Media Representations of Domestic Violence in France and Canada

Both Canada and France evidence high levels of domestic violence and, as such, various governmental and non-governmental bodies attempt to address the problem through media awareness campaigns. The Mitacs Award will support the media analysis of recent French media campaigns developed to create awareness around domestic violence, comparing these with depictions of domestic violence employed […]

Tailoring the Anisotropy of First-Row Transition Metal and Their Interactions

The proposed collaboration project between the Richeson and Journaux groups has a primary purpose of identifying new magnetic phenomena derived from common, inexpensive transition metals. The focus is on compounds containing cobalt and iron metal centers since these metals have larger than usual magnetic anisotropies. In order to design these compounds, specific chemical groups will […]

Investigation of Borohydride Oxidation by Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM) for the Application on Direct Borohydride Fuel Cells

The direct borohydride fuel cells (DBFCs) are a much simpler system compared to the hydrogen fuel cell, in terms of fuel infrastructure. The mystery behind the borohydride oxidation reaction mechanism hinders its commercial utilization. To effectively tackle the challenges with DBFCs, it is crucial to identify a highly active catalyst and understand the nature of […]

Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy as a tool to study the transcription rate of Bicoid targets during Drosophila embryonic development

In embryos, cell differentiation occurs via the formation of spatial gradients of molecules called morphogens, which control the expression of a number of target genes determining cell identity. A common model system to study morphogen is the Bicoid gradient, which determine anterio-posterior patterning in the Drosophila fly. Here we propose to apply novel methods in […]
