Endothelial cells( ECs) form the inner surface of blood vessels. If they break down, they may lead to vascular disease, heart failure,and high blood pressure. Endothelial cells(ECs) functions are regulated by permanent mechanical stresses such as shear stress and pressure from blood stream. When some cells are damaged, the adjacent cells are induced by them, […]

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a major area of interest for the aerospace community, especially considering aging aircraft where the growing maintenance costs, estimated to $10,4 billion worldwide annually, can reduce their economic life. The long-term goal of the industry is to deploy SHM systems which will 1) meet the in-service inspection requirements with sensors […]

Ce projet s’inscrivant dans le domaine de l‘ingénierie de visualisation 3D a pour principale objectif de permettre la manipulation de différents types de formats de CAD (Computer Aided Design). Actuellement, les manipulations de formats tel que les nuages de points ou les éléments maillés se font de manière séparée, empêchant le plein potentiel d’un modèle […]

STAGIAIRE1 (PhD1, ISR) Génération et propagation des requis de conception vers le sous-système électronique embarqué. Les objectifs spécifiques du projet de l’étudiant PhD1 (tâches 1.1 et 1.2 du projet global) sont : 1) l’élaboration, la mise en oeuvre et la validation d’une stratégie permettant de déterminer la robustesse inhérente des autres éléments du système global, […]

Printable electronics is a new advanced manufacturing technology, which allows a low-cost and simple fabrication of optical devices. The production consists of three main steps: choosing the materials, printing, and sintering. At first, a metallic ink and a substrate must be chosen. The second step is a printing which could be realized even with a […]

the physics-based modeling of the impact of road pavement characteristics on UHI can be complex and inaccurate. On the other hand, advances in data science and machine learning along with the ever-increasing computational power offer data-driven modeling opportunities that are relatively easy to setup. In recent years, with the rise of the Internet of things […]

In traditional control systems such as industrial plants, automobiles, HVAC systems, etc. consist of a single dynamical system that is controlled by a single controller. Such systems are referred to as centralized control systems. Many of the modern control systems such as networked control systems, Internet of Things, mobile robotics, vehicular platoons, and smart grids […]

Stroke is the most frequent neurological disorder leading to long-term disability by an impairment in movement control. In this project we aim to quantify the damage to a patient´s brain with a newly developed method: Tractography-based Lesion Assessment Standard (TractLAS). This tool provides a patient-specific quantification of the whole-brain structural network damage caused by stroke. […]

In this proposed research project, I plan to study the lived experience of migration, and the factors underlying psychological distress, among international students in Montreal, Canada. I propose to analyze archival data and conduct interviews in order to accomplish this. Upon completion of the project, I will return to Japan and conduct a parallel study […]

Does corporate philanthropy affect firm performance? Over the past decades, a considerable amount of scholarly attention has been devoted to examining this relationship. Some studies provided evidence for the positive relationship between corporate philanthropy and corporate performance, while others found no empirical support for such relationship. This mixed and inconclusive evidence calls for the need […]

Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in concrete can induce degradation in its mechanical properties, leading to compromised serviceability and even loss in load capacity of concrete structures. Dams and bridges have been reported to be affected by ASR which lead to expensive mitigation operations as well as demolishing of the structure in Canada and Australia. This research […]
