La source LDTD-APCI ou source d thermo d6sorption par photodiode laser (Laser Diode Thermal D6sorption – Atmospheric Pressure Chemical lonization) est un appareil unique, developpe r6cemment par la compagnie Phytronix lnc de Qu6bec. Cette source d’ionisation particulidrement douce coupl6e avec un spectromdtre de masse de haute r6solution permet de simplifier I’appareillage analytique courant de type […]

My research project will explore how playwrights John Dryden and William Davenant used their 1667 adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Tempest to establish a normative model for socially acceptable masculinity in response to the rapidly changing gender dynamics of the Restoration stage. My project hypothesizes that Dryden and Davenant used the supernatural island setting of Shakespeare’s […]

Transformation of pulp and paper mills to the biorefinery is increasingly being conSidered by many Canadian forestry companies. In this internship sponsored by the MITACS Accelerate program, for approximately 4 months of the 8 month internship period, Cedric Diffo will conduct an internship with West Fraser Timber Company and FPlnnovations in order to better define […]

In the Copenhagen Accord of 2009, 23 parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) committed themselves to mitigating their greenhouse gas emissions by 2020. While the European Union will fulfil its commitment, other parties such as Australia, Canada and the US will not reach their envisaged targets. These four cases face […]

The climate of northern Quebec and Labrador is strongly influenced by natural variability on time scales ranging from years to decades. These internal modes of variability superimpose onto the anthropogenically forced global warming trend, thus making local climate variations difficult to anticipate in the short term. The communities living in Nunavik, Nunatsiavut and NunatuKavut are […]

Ce projet de recherche, dans le cadre de mes recherches doctorales, à la Faculté de droit de l’Université de Montréal, sous la supervision de Professeure Julie Biron, me permettra d’approfondir les recherches en ce qui concerne la conformité dans les sociétés canadiennes dont certaines opèrent en Afrique subsaharienne dans le secteur minier. A cet effet, […]

This project pertains to the modeling, detection and monitoring of crises in geopolitical dynamiC environments. As risks are inherent to crises, we need tools to cope with the uncertainty factors involved in these situations. The objective of this project is to conduct research activities to support the understanding of crisis situations and to model their […]

La maladie de Parkinson touche plus de 1,5% des personnes de plus de 65 ans et jusqu’à 90 % des personnes atteintes développent des difficultés à avaler ou à s’exprimer au courant de leur maladie. Ces difficultés nuisent aux relations sociales des personnes qui vivent avec cette maladie. Des thérapies en orthophonie peuvent aider à […]

An important challenge in developmental psychiatric research is to understand which are the neural mechanisms underlying language acquisition and speech comprehension. Auditory entrainment is the mechanism by which the brain faithfully entrains electrophysiological activity to rhythmically modulated stimuli, and it is seen as the mechanism that the listening brain use to attune to acoustic regularities […]

Contexte : La collaboration en robotique entre le laboratoire de robotique pédagogique de l’université de Montréal et l’université du Maine est vielle de plus de 20 ans entre Pierre Nonnon de l’Université de Montréal et Pascal Leroux de l’Université du Maine avec notamment l’organisation de coprésidence de 8 congrès sur la robotique pédagogique. Objectif : […]

The applicability of reinforcing slab-column edge connections with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars in resisting gravity loads has been validated through several investigations. The elastic nature of FRP reinforcement raises concerns about the feasibility of using this type of reinforcement in reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismic regions. To date, only one study has been conducted […]
