Computation of inverted singlet-triplet energy gaps by machine learning enhanced computational chemistry methodologies

Ce projet est axé sur l’amélioration de la conception des matériaux, en particulier pour des applications telles que les diodes électroluminescentes organiques (OLED). Des modèles d’apprentissage automatique modernes et des méthodologies spécialisées en chimie quantique sont utilisés pour enquêter systématiquement sur ces matériaux. L’initiative consiste à établir un ensemble de données complet issu d’une sélection […]

Atmospheric cold-plasma modification as a sustainable clean technology for improving protein functionality, digestibility and tribological properties

With the increased global protein demand, it is necessary to effectively utilize protein extracted from plants, particularly with limited uses, which has poor digestibility and techno-functional properties. Therefore, the proposed project will aim at developing novel protein ingredients from alternative plant proteins with improved techno-functional properties using innovative, sustainable, nonthermal clean processing technology, thereby improving […]

The Politics of Drafting Decisions in International Organizations

Those who draft resolutions and treaties in international organizations (IOs) can significantly influence their content and acceptance. It is therefore puzzling that not all states are interested in drafting, so-called “pen-holding”. Veto powers Russia and China barely draft any United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions, and in the African Union (AU), international bureaucrats or independent […]

Exploring the Methods and Mechanisms of Prosocial Development in Middle Childhood

Prosocial behaviors (i.e., acts that benefit others) appear early in human development and are associated with numerous positive developmental outcomes. Despite decades of research, the mechanisms underlying childhood prosociality remain relatively unclear. To further the field of prosocial development, an international and multi-institutional collaboration led by three prominent prosocial behavior researchers (Kristen Dunfield, Markus Paulus, […]

Hydrothermal Deoxygenation of Triglyceride aided by in-situ Hydrogen Production from Glycerol Reforming

Nowadays, many studies are engaged in improving sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) technologies to advance the utilization of cleaner energy sources and aviation fuels. However, as of today, SAF accounts for less than 1% of jet fuel consumption due to production costs associated with feedstocks, catalysts, and renewable hydrogen. Our project focuses on lowering SAF production […]

Étude sur le défaut septal ventriculaire – L’impact de la patient-spécificité sur des accidents de la route

Ce projet étudiera l’impact des accidents de route et les mécanismes associés à la communication interventriculaire post-traumatique. Deux théories dominantes ont été décrites: 1) une compression aiguë du cœur entre le sternum et la colonne vertébrale, entraînant une augmentation soudaine de la pression intracardiaque à la fin de la diastole ou de la systole isovolumétrique, […]

Évaluation quantitative et modélisation des services écosystémiques associés aux forêts de laminaires (kelp forests) de l’Arctique Canadien

Partout à travers le monde, les forêts de laminaires sont un lieu de rassemblement de la vie marine. Elles jouent un rôle analogue, en milieu tempéré, à celui des récifs coralliens en milieu tropical. De nombreuses expéditions récentes dans l’Arctique Canadien ont mis en lumière la présence récurrente de ces forêts et en ont dévoilé […]

Advanced computing applied to nuclear waste storage and low-carbon construction materials

In a collaborative effort to promote environmental sustainability and clean technology in nuclear waste management, Canadian and French research institutions are joining forces. The project focuses on advancing computational models to better understand bentonite clay, which is essential for safely encasing nuclear waste. The Canadian team contributes advanced computer simulation techniques, while the French team […]

Development of dual dynamic covalent network materials

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are a new type of energy harvesting device converting mechanical stimuli, such as vibration, human motion, wind, and water waves, to electrical signals through the combination of triboelectric effect with electrostatic induction. However, conventionally-designed TENGs have major challenge that includes the failure of their self-charging power and the suppression of their output […]
