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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

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 […]

Non-communicable diseases account for 70% of all deaths worldwide and are primarily attributed to health risk behaviours, including insufficient physical activity, low quality diets, and smoking. Despite widespread awareness of these, 43% of Colombians lead sedentary lifestyles, 28% fail to eat enough fruits and vegetables, and 12% smoke, underscoring the need for interventions aimed at […]

Dans le cadre de ce stage, nous renseignerons le potentiel porté par l’hydrothermie fluviale comme source d’énergie. Ce potentiel sera étudié en considérant le territoire montréalais comme zone d’étude et dans un contexte de transition énergétique et de lutte au changement climatique. Nous suivrons une approche méthodologique et scientifique et développerons un argumentaire visant à […]

Optical gyroscopes are instruments capable of measuring rotations. The creation of miniature optical gyroscopes could lead to the development of self-navigating small crafts such as drones. Microresonator-based optical gyroscopes, where light is trapped in a ring-like structure and propagates differently depending on whether it is moving clockwise or counter-clockwise, are the best candidates to create […]

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes more developed and integrated into society, it will no longer consist of single isolated systems, but networks of AIs interacting with humans in socio-technical systems interwoven into the functioning of our society. When systems have many interacting components, they start to interact in unexpected ways and become hard to predict […]

The applications of the future will require support for ultra-low delay, high bandwidth, and multiple data streams into the gigabit-per-second range. 5G-Advanced and 6G networks with the assumption that width bandwidth will be available through the utilization of high-frequency spectrum. However, this increased bandwidth comes at the cost of unpredictable scenarios, such as sudden changes […]

In an existing geothermal power plant found in Aydin, Turkey, three parabolic solar trough collectors have been installed to develop a hybrid solar-geothermal power plant. The main reason for such a hybridization is mainly to compensate the inefficiencies in the geothermal power plant due to changes in the ambient temperature. The parabolic solar trough collectors […]

This project focuses on the ways in which ancient thinkers conceptualized the notions of “body”, “soul” and their relationships, as well as the receptions these concepts had in classical, modern and contemporary posterity. This will allow studying the physical and mental dimension of the explanations produced by ancient thinkers for the phenomenon of life, mind, […]
