My research explores the relationships between land use land cover (LULC) change and local perceptions of natural resources (built on traditional ecological knowledge) in Lào Cai Province, Vietnam. Vietnam’s mountainous uplands are home to over 5.2 million ethnic minority individuals, yet there is little research on their land use decision-making processes. How policy interacts with […]

First, particulate matter from air pollution caused by the burning of biomass fuels will be collected on filters at a field site in Sichuan, China. The samples will be comprised of personal exposures (from devices attached to women in the study population) as well as emissions (from devices near the source of the pollution). Next, […]

Le but de ce projet de recherche est de déterminer les paramètres de conception des barres d’alternateur affectant la performance de celles-ci lors des essais de cyclage thermique. Des essais expérimentaux de vieillissement et des cyclages thermiques seront effectués ainsi qu’une simulation numérique par éléments finis de ce type d’essai. L’influence des différents paramètres de […]

Autism is a growing public health challenge in Canada and internationally. Despite major scientific advances in autism research and improvements in practice, families still experience serious delays and complications in diagnosis and access to care. Moreover, community capacity, e.g., treatment and support programs, remains very limited relative to the needs of those affected. In turn, […]

This project attempts to develop new solution to two problem types that are known to be intractable optimization problems. These include a scheduling problem, the PSP (Project Scheduling Problem), and a problem found in trading (leg-pricing). These problems are investigated to evaluate the applicability of recently developed quantum annealing processors, which specialize in optimization problems, […]

Le mémoire porte sur la gamification, un nouveau terme qui désigne une pratique qui consiste à utiliser des éléments de jeu dans d’autres contextes que le jeu (ex: éducation, travail, applications web et mobile, etc.) dans le but d’engager et de motiver les utilisateurs à résoudre des problèmes et à atteindre des objectifs. L’objectif de […]

Le territoire du delta du fleuve Rouge est constamment façonné par l’eau; on y construit des digues pour se protéger en cas d’inondations depuis plus d’un millénaire. À Hanoï, on creuse plus profondément les lacs existants et on les remblaye afin qu’ils puissent recueillir les eaux pluviales lors de forts orages. Le paysage des lacs […]

Le but du projet sera de documenter de façon empirique les effets du jeu Classcraft sur le climat de classe. Nous adhérons à l’idée que ce jeu puisse être intégré en classe en tant que TIC pour favoriser un climat de classe positif et une ambiance propice aux apprentissages, en raison des caractéristiques spécifiques de […]

During maturation, juvenile rats have dramatic histomorphometric changes within their tissues, including marked proliferation and cell death. These background changes should not be mistaken with drug-induced pathologic features. This is critical for optimal drug toxicity studies. The main objective of this study is to build a database on apoptosis and proliferation at different time points […]

Most current propulsion and ventilation systems still suffer from poor efficiency, noise issues and too high emission levels. Little efficiency gain could yield significant reduction of energy waste, noise pollution, gas consumption and pollutant emission. Moreover a lot of the large rotating facilities do not meet their target performances and suffer from early degradation and […]

Path programming for various robot applications in the industry involves precise specification of data for coordinated control of the different moving parts, arms, limbs, joints, etc. in order to optimally perform application specific tasks. Robotmaster™ software from Jabez Technologies is used to plan and simulate robotic operations and generate robot code for industrial applications. Robotmaster […]

Pour faire face à la congestion en milieu urbain, de plus en plus de citoyens se tournent vers le covoiturage pour permettre de partager leurs véhicules pour effectuer des déplacements vers leur lieu de travail. Il existe des plateformes web permettant aux gens de trouver des itinéraires communs, mais ces sites sont limités, car il […]
