Global food demand of ever increasing population requires almost double the food production in the near future posing a great threat to our limited natural resources, such as soil and water, from the overutilization and upbringing of vulnerable lands into cultivation while the changing climate exacerbates these problems. While soil salinity may directly affect the […]

Colonie française depuis le début du XVIe siècle, la Nouvelle-France est cédée à la Grande-Bretagne à l’issu de la guerre de Sept Ans (1756-1763). Chez les Britanniques, une volonté de conquête du Canada est clairement exprimée dans l’opinion publique. Dans le cadre de ce projet, nous souhaitons voir au-delà des « quelques arpents de neige […]

Les réseaux de communications, notamment l’Internet, connaissent une importante croissance ses dernières années. Cette croissance s’accompagne d’une complexité grandissante ainsi que d’une consommation énergétique de plus en plus élevée. Les technologies actuellement déployées ne sont pas adaptées pour faciliter l’économie d’énergie sur des réseaux de grandes tailles. La technologie SDN nous offre un meilleur contrôle […]

This research explores ghost-cities in Hanoi, Vietnam, built mostly for speculative reasons, often lingering uninhabited for a prolonged period of economic uncertainty. The dive of Vietnam in market economy in the 90’s called for a large scale restructuration of what has previously been uncontrolled rapid urbanization processes. At the beginning of the 2000s, at least […]

The state of Michoacan in Mexico, where most of the drug war comes from, has a long history of exploitation against indigenous people and the natural resources concentrated in the state. Michoacan’s vast system of forests has been subjected to years of illegal wood trafficking, a fact very well known but little exposed, pushing the […]

The aim of this project is to better understand children’s actual and desired participation in discussions, decisions, and actions that affect them in a pediatric oncology setting in New Delhi, India. This study is within the emerging field of childhood ethics and will be guided by a moral experience framework, which means it aims to […]

Different types of the interconnected suspension systems have been suggested, designed and demonstrated. Although the ample work has been done in the area of interconnected suspension, the work for overcoming or satisfying practical limitations and commercialization of the suspension considering all the space and size constraints is not sufficient. The proposed research work involves In-Lab […]

This project aims to discover how policies around food security circulate. It seeks to understand what makes certain policies attractive and other not. The relevant literature ackowledges that local territories react differently to projects, because every locality has a unique configuration of actors which influence policy outcomes. Because of the bi-national context of the regional […]

This project targets the design of a highly accurate proximity sensing system that is capable of operating in a wide distance range under wide variations in temperature and for different sensor characteristics. The system is based on passive inductive proximity sensors that can withstand harsh environments, and, therefore, are widely used in avionic applications. Our […]

In the context of aircrew training on flight simulators, the simulation of the radar system requires a large amount of calculation which needs to be performed in real-time. Mapping the virtual environment (landmass, vegetation, buildings, roads, etc.), modeling energy propagation and performing the post-processing are among the most intensive tasks. Most of these are currently […]

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 […]

Cylindrical vector beams (CVBs) are a class of non-conventional beams of laser light that exhibit spatially varying polarization properties and zero intensity along the propagation axis. CVBs have received significant interest due to their peculiar focusing properties when used in combination with high numerical aperture optics. CVBs are also especially important at the limit of […]
