Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and progressive autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS), including the brain and the spinal cord. In MS, the immune system attacks the myelin that covers the neuronal fibers, resulting in inflammation and damage of CNS that leads to a wide range of symptoms concerning movement, sensation, […]

Pour sa gestion interne, la compagnie utilise plusieurs outils qui touchent différents domaines comme par exemple: – la gestion des heures des collaborateurs, utile notamment pour la facturation; – la planification de l’affectation des ressources humaines sur les […]

The vehicle routing problem and its extensions have been successful in optimizing a measure such as time or cost, but only when these measures can be accurately estimated or approximated. However, this is not the case in complex environments. Particularly in urban routing, it is generally complicated, and efficient routing requires tacit knowledge of the […]

In applications arising in project management, warehouse stock management and project deliveries, several activities that use a common resource need to be executed in a sequential manner in order to keep nonnegative resource levels. As an example, consider newly produced items entering a warehouse, and the items that are demanded by the customers leaving the […]

Le travail de recherche consistera à répertorier un nombre maximum d’outils d’analyse dans le domaine du marketing et de la stratégie numérique, d’analyser ces outils afin d’en extraire une série d’attributs puis de bâtir un « méta-outil ». Le résultat final prendra la forme d’une méthodologie de service-conseil qui permettra d’élaborer des stratégies numériques permettant […]

The O’Tierney-Ginn lab in the Mother Infant Research Institute, Boston, seeks to understand how maternal-placental communication affects fetal growth and pregnancy outcomes. Specifically, they are investigating the mechanism of action of specific miRNAs produced by the placenta that were associated with maternal insulin resistance in pregnancy. In fall 2023, Ms. Lavoie will complete a 15-week […]

In artistic swimming, athletes must perform complex movement routines in the water, while holding their breath for up to 60% of the time, which greatly accelerates the development of hypoxia-induced fatigue. Research shows that hypoventilation training at low lung volumes improves energy metabolism, thereby reducing muscle fatigue and improving physical performance. Furthermore, inspiratory muscle training […]

Les sciences de la Terre comprennent principalement trois disciplines, dont la géologie, la géochimie et la géophysique. La plupart des informations géologiques ont une nature descriptive issues directement de l’observation. Les analyses géochimiques déterminent précisément la composition des substances terrestres solides et liquides et sont quantitatives à l’échelle microscopique. L’interprétation des relevés géophysiques détermine la […]

My project aims to complement the Toi, Moi, Bébé (TMB) program with a Virtual Reality (VR) system. The TMB program aims to prevent perinatal mood disorders, including depression and anxiety, by reducing experiential avoidance and improving self-soothing capacities, which are ideal targets for a VR system. Different applications will be developed for each component of […]

Brain research has advanced our understanding of the biological substrates of human behavior and its perturbation across a variety of neurophysiological states and disorders. Over the last 80 years, Brain Research has gained a lot of traction, culminating in the 1990s which was named “The Decade of the Brain” to enhance the visibility of brain […]

Carbon nanopearls are an exciting novel class of materials that present unique characteristics, and they turn out to be an excellent alternative to carbon nanotubes for different applications. Presently, they are experimented with success as material for cold cathodes for electron?beam based instrumentation applications and they can be used for the development of polymer nanocomposites […]
