Transcranial Stimulation as a Tool for Cognitive Enhancement

Attention is a key process to many daily tasks but it is characterized by limited resources. In many high-stake domains, operators must perform complex tasks for long durations, which deplete attentional resources and promote error making. Some studies have shown that neurostimulation can be used as a tool to improve cognitive abilities. Yet, studies investigating […]

Implications of Comprehensive Sex Education on Female Genital Mutilation on Conakry

The objective of this research is to observe the implementation of a sexual health education program called “Fondation Binta Ann pour les Enfants et les Femmes” (FONBAL) and to subsequently document any change in attitudes of parents of children enrolled in FONBALE through parent-child interactions. As noted by the World Health Organization and The United […]

Defending Containerized Applications against 0day Vulnerabilities

Network operators and telecom vendors intend to ensure the security of mobile networks. However, the time between discovering a new security vulnerability in the network and developing and deploying its effective fixes can be delayed weeks and more often in months. Thus, it leaves a window to the attacker to cause more damage. Most of […]

Abrasive Waterjet Polishing of Large Hydraulic Turbine Blades

The objective of this project is to improve the quality of the hard-to-reach areas of the hydraulic turbine blades using abrasive waterjet polishing method. By this way, the energy lost caused by parietal friction between the turbine blades and the flow will be decreased and consequently the efficiency of the turbine will be improved. Previously, […]

Validation d’indicateurs de la manifestation myoélectrique de la fatigue à l’aide de capteurs électromyographiques à haute densité

L’activité musculaire mesurée à la surface de la peau permet de rendre compte de la fatigue musculaire. Toutefois, il existe une multitude de variables pour la mettre en évidence. L’objectif de ce projet sera de déterminer quelles sont les variables les plus précises pour mettre en évidence la fatigue musculaire. Nous nous attendons à ce […]

Printed Metamaterial Lenses – Faisibility Study

INO, is currently developing thin, flexible and large area printed optical sensors for multiple imaging applications spanning visible to terahertz wavelengths. These applications often require the need of specialty optics, this is where superlenses and metamaterial passive optical components are thought to be advantageous. Superlenses and metamaterial passive optical components are advanced technologies that can […]

Bioremediation potential of a bacterial inoculant, Inocul-M consortium, on switchgrass(Panicum virgatum L.) plants grown in soils amended with biochar and spiked withpolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (

Remediation and reclamation of contaminated lands could be achieved by incorporating biofuel agro-ecosystems that utilizes large biomass plant species with low-nitrogen requirements and have high bioremediation potential, such as switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), in conjunction with biochar, a carbon–rich soil amendment, and inoculated with beneficial plant and soil microbes. Our partner industry, Inocucor, has developed […]

L’attractivité des territoires par les productions cinématographiques

Ce projet se concentre sur l’attractivité des territoires (économiques, touristiques, résidentiels…) en relation avec l’activité générée par les productions cinématographiques. L’objectif est d’analyser comment les institutions publiques abordent les impacts associés aux productions cinématographiques sur leur territoire (dimension comparative France-Québec), les comprendre et d’étudier les différentes stratégies utilisées par les institutions publiques pour stimuler cette […]

Cyberentrepreuneur profiles based on the vulnerabilities they exploit and sell

The project aims to distinguish profiles of software vendors that allow the exploitation of computer security vulnerabilities. Data about the vendors and the vulnerabilities they exploit in their software will be collected from illicit software sales forums. The vulnerabilities will be classified according to what they can do when exploited. Then profiles will be developed […]

Social structures in Brown Bears

The research project focuses on getting new insights in the social behavior of Brown Bears. The social system of a species describes the pattern of relationships between and among individuals and social groups and how these are distributed across the landscape. Animal sociality can affect individual fitness, and vice-versa, and is often a crucial factor […]
