Free ranging and wild animals sometimes experience challenges of physical wellbeing and optimal movement ability, but assessing if they are stressed in these situations can prove difficult. My research will be focusing on a population of Japanese macaques on Awaji Island, Japan that are born with very high incidences of limb malformations that cause physical […]

Choices allow us to navigate through physical space, to literally or figuratively problem-solve, to achieve goals. While this behavioural phenomenon is common across time and space for our human species, many other species make movement choices as well. The objective of my research is to assess how individual and social factors influence route choice decisions […]

The call center managers at Hydro-Quebec (HQ) need to deliver both low operating costs and high service quality. Their task is made especially difficult because they need to meet an incoming demand which is typically both time-varying and uncertain. The current techniques of forecasting future call volumes at HQ are often unreliable, and there is […]

La plateforme élévatrice Hydro-Mobile de série M s’adresse au marché de la maçonnerie. L’application requiert le déplacement de charges lourdes à faibles vitesses sur des hauteurs allant jusqu’à 76 m. Afin d’améliorer la sécurité et simplifier l’opération de la plateforme, Hydro-Mobil souhaite développer un nouveau système de levage complètement conforme aux nouvelles normes en vigueur. […]

We propose the development of tools that can help identify cognitively normal subjects at risk for developing Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). The tests will use small volumes of peripheral fluids (blood, saliva, urine). Our goal is to evaluate the potential of exosomes to be used as “carriers of AD biomarkers”. These markers will be essential for […]

Feedback from students is considered essential to continuous improvement in teaching at all levels, particularly in learner-centered education. This project looks at universities’ privacy and confidentiality policies and frameworks on the use of student feedback data, to inform decisions on program/curriculum enhancements and resource allocations for student success.

I will focus on the Ramanandi Sampraday, which formed around the fourteenth-century Hindu guru Ramananda and is still one of the largest ascetic sects in Hinduism today. There are many stories written […]

L’application de certains types de plasma sur une surface biologique permet la stérilisation du milieu en question. Il est également possible de rendre cette stérilisation sélective par rapport au choix des cellules devant être affectées par le plasma. Ce faisant, la stérilisation sélective de cellules cancérigènes ou de pathogènes par un actionneur à plasma est […]
