The project tests musicians and non-musicians with auditory feedback perturbation paradigms in speech and music. In auditory feedback perturbation studies, speakers speak or sing a sequence into a microphone and hear their own productions via special in-ear headphones, while specific parameters in the feedback signal are altered in real-time. In the two speech conditions, parts […]

Ce projet de collaboration vise à développer de nouveaux procédés à flux continu pour produire des dérivés organothiocyanates. Ces motifs sont importants en chimie organique, notamment dans les principes actifs agrochimiques et pharmaceutiques. L’objectif spécifique du projet est de développer des stratégies durables pour synthétiser des cibles contenant des SCN méta-substitués. Ces avancées scientifiques permettront […]

The goal of this proposal is we aim to develop an injectable drug delivery system for intratumoral delivery of a combination of an AXL-inhibitor and FDA-approved chemotherapy drug (e.g.Dox). AXL inhibitors in combination with chemotherapies that target the DNA of cancer cells is a promising approach for treating cancers. The device is integrable to a […]

Photoacoustic (PA) imaging has shown great potential in cancer detection, tissue characterization, and therapeutic applications. Laser diode-based PA imaging is a new development in this field that can be used for image guidance, nerve or cancer imaging, and the localization of a needle target during biopsy procedures. The PA imaging requires very accurate time synchronization […]

A partir d’un corpus d’articles de presse publiés au Québec en français, nous cherchons à comprendre les mécanismes linguistiques de la subjectivité dans les textes journalistiques. Notre objectif est de confronter l’efficacité des méthodes statistiques d’analyse de la subjectivité, basées sur la théorie linguistique, avec les performances inégalées mais peu transparentes des approches utilisant l’apprentissage […]

The project between Plato Testing Inc. and NBCC has been built to support indigenous students of the software testing program to gain industry experience and utilize the skills they have developed in class. The software testing industry is ever growing, and requires talented students with an understanding of programming and software development to make software […]

Au Canada comme en France, les systèmes de santé doivent faire face à un engorgement important des services d’urgence. Cette problématique majeure risque de s’amplifier dans les prochaines années. Au Québec, un essai clinique randomisé contrôlé (ECR) en cluster impliquant huit services d’urgence est mis en place. Celui-ci a pour objectif d’évaluer l’efficacité d’un nouveau […]

The main objective of this international research project is to answer fundamental chemistry questions on the molecular interactions between high-performance polymers of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and polyetherimide (PEI). This research project is a subpart of my Ph.D. project that aims to develop new high-performance polymer blends for the aerospace sector, i.e. to replace aluminum in the […]

With climate change driving more severe and unpredictable weather, countries around the world are facing higher probability of extreme weather events, particularly in the form of flooding, storm surges, and hurricanes. The overall objective of this research is to explore how Canada, a (low-probability of risk country) and Japan (a high-probability of risk country) compare […]

Driven by the awareness of the full environmental impact of fossil fuel mass consumption, the world is gradually transitioning to sustainable energy sources to eventually eliminate CO2 emissions. Inspired by this, we seek to develop an inexpensive photocatalytic system composed of earth-abundant organic polymer semiconductor and molecular cocatalysts that is capable of utilizing the energy […]

Dans le cadre du stage, le stagiaire sera amené à créer des outils d’analyse informatique afin de caractériser la turbulence du plasma (un gaz contenant des électrons libres) de fusion nucléaire. La fusion nucléaire est une technologie émergente permettant de créer de l’énergie propre en grande quantité par la fusion d’atomes en éléments plus lourds. […]

The medical practice, criminal prosecution, and political organizing around abortion is not well studied in early twentieth century Mexico. The catalogue of the Supreme Court of the Federal District of Mexico (TSJDF) indicates the court opened over one hundred cases for the crime in the 1930s and a further 90 cases in the 1940s. However, […]
