Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is the most widely used additive manufacturing technique,involving a movable heated nozzle through which a molten thermoplastic polymer fiber is extruded onto a platform. Deposited filaments weld together and solidify to form a layer, and successive layers form the final part. In most scientific literature, incomplete weld formation between the filaments […]

Construction industry is responsible for emitting a significant amount of CO2. To stay within the scope of 1.5°C increase in atmosphere temperature by 2050, It is essential to reduce the embodied carbon of buildings. Mass timber buildings become more popular in the construction industry and the tendency to move toward more sustainable materials has increased. […]

Ce projet a pour but de faire communiquer le projet GenderedNews et le projet Mind The Gap. Ces deux projets utilisent des technologies automatiques et des méthodes innovantes issues du Traitement Automatique du Langage Naturel (TALN) pour mesurer les inégalités de genre dans les médias francophones. Le projet Mind The Gap s’intéresse aux représentations des […]

Le biais de négativité désigne la tendance générale à être plus affecté par les informations et les événements négatifs que par ceux positifs. Dans ce projet, je fais l’argument que la culture est un facteur explicatif important mais peu étudié du biais de négativité. J’attends à ce que la culture collectiviste réduise le biais de […]

Le retrait est un phénomène de contraction volumétrique des matériaux cimentaires lors de leur prise et durcissement. Il est dû à l’évaporation de l’eau du béton. Ce phénomène n’est pas sans impact sur la fonctionnalité et la durabilité des ouvrages. Car il se caractérise le plus souvent par des fissures qui nuisent aux aspects esthétiques […]

Mechanochemistry uses physical, mechanical mixing in order to break and forms bonds in solvent-free conditions, which can yield different mechanistic outcomes compared to the traditional solution-based method. The highly concentrated mixing of reagents would be typically the last method thought to synthesize medium-sized ether rings, as the molecules require high dilution to promote ring closure […]

SDI Group has 10 Divisions and more recently, in seeing the need for more innovative ways to service the clients opened up SDI Mobile Company with majority owner, Rosalie Gray […]

My PhD dissertation is going to be focused on the Kubrawiyya Sufi order, a very influential spiritual community, which despite its massive importance has not received due attention from academics; the available modern scholarship on them has been predominantly concerned with the Kubrawis’ mystical doctrine, and the history of this order with all its crucial […]

People who have severe brain injuries that lead to a complete loss of consciousness are often admitted to an intensive care unit for aggressive life-sustaining therapies. Currently, there are no tools available to doctors to determine which patients will regain consciousness and have a good recovery. This makes discussions surrounding continuing treatment vs. withdrawal of […]
