L’origine de l’hydrogène naturel, une alternative aux énergies fossiles, est encore mal contrainte dans les roches continentales. Nous avons récemment proposé un nouveau modèle dans lequel l’hydrogène est produit lors de l’altération des gisements d’or. Ce projet vise à effectuer des mesures de terrain dans la ceinture verte de l’Abitibi pour tester notre modèle. Il […]

The aim of this project consists in developing a resilient control architecture for LFC problems in networked multi-area power systems able to match the power generation to the load demand and deal with the occurrence of anomalies along the network medium due to the actions of external intruders. Accordingly, the proposal will move along two […]

Les performances des dispositifs opto-électroniques tels que les cellules photovoltaïques ou les photo transducteurs sont intrinsèquement liées aux vitesses de recombinaison des porteurs de charge sur les surfaces. Ceci est d’autant plus important que les couches actives sont fines, et que les dimensions des dispositifs sont réduites. Pour réduire les vitesses de recombinaison, il est […]

Notre projet vise à aborder le vieillissement au prisme d’une approche territoriale afin de renouveler le regard à travers de questions renouvelées (qu’est-ce qui pousse les aînés à sortir marcher ? Comment un espace public est-il plus/moins accessible pour eux ?), des méthodes innovantes adaptées (cartographie, « parcours commentés », méthodes-mixtes, …) et des avenues […]

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an ideal technique for looking into the body. Lungs, however, give poor quality images due to their low water content, necessary for MRI to work. Currently the best way to image the lungs is with CT scanning, an approach using X-rays. Alternatively, people can breathe in a special inert gas […]

Phthalates are plasticizers used in plastic manufacturing especially polyethylene terephthalate, and polycarbonate. This is predominantly used in food packaging, bottles, cosmetics, infant products, etc., The plastic conversion into ‘microplastics’ along with its plasticizer tends to leach out from the products and cause numerous health and environmental impacts. The major health effects imparted by dibutyl phthalate […]

In this project, considering the rate-dependent behavior of permafrost, a multiphysics-based hazard ??assessment tool will be developed to investigate the life-cycle performance of infrastructure subject ?to ?different seasonal climate projections and climate change scenarios. For this purpose, first, an ?advanced thermo-elasto-viscoplastic (TEVP) constitutive model is being developed based ?on the ?framework of critical state soil […]

The project “My UKRainian World” aims to create, pilot test and revise educational video resources for learners and speakers of Ukrainian, whose first or primary language is not Ukrainian. It will attempt to bring Ukrainian language video resources on par with other international languages. The current phase of the project consists of: an analysis of […]

This project will explore the strengths of one existing Indigenous-led school-based ecocultural restoration program, PAPAKEN HAUTW, and support the program in dreaming and designing of a larger and more sustainable youth land stewardship/land-based learning program within the tribal school where it is currently housed and beyond, to the community and Greater Victoria School Board-SD61.

The overall goal of the project is too improve the precision of CMS, a detector used in particle physics experiment. The project will focus on two aspects: improving photon and electron detection and improving jet detection (a shower of particles). In the detector, multiple particles are detected at the same time. Photons and electrons are […]

The project attempts to document two visual traditions- Ahoi Asthami and Dev Uthan Ekadashi conducted by and for Haryanvi Indo-Canadian women which happens only once a year, is fast changing due to rapid modernization by offering an ethnographic study and subsequent translation in Canada. An extensive literature review revealed an almost complete lack of theoretical, […]

CoDES est un projet de recherche mené dans la ville de Québec qui vise à mieux comprendre les quartiers dans lesquels grandissent les jeunes enfants. Nous nous intéressons aux caractéristiques de ces quartiers qui aident ou nuisent au développement de la naissance à 5 ans. Pour obtenir un meilleur portrait global de la situation, nous […]
