Depuis son institutionnalisation en 1970, la Francophonie n’a eu de cesse de faire évoluer ses caractéristiques identitaires. Elle est ainsi passée de centrer sur la France à une multitude de centres au sein de l’ensemble des pays francophones, et de culturelle à politique et diplomatique. Le projet de recherche s’attache alors à identifier, à travers […]

The quality of parent-child interactions is among the most important active ingredients of early language development. Many interventions, which vary in approach, content and format, focus on improving the quality of these interactions between children and their caregivers in order to promote early language development. Understanding the relationship between the characteristics of these interventions and […]

The overarching goal of my research is to investigate how the brain learns in order to develop brain-inspired learning algorithms that will reduce the computational cost for many machine learning applications. The standard learning algorithm (or learning rule) for training artificial neural networks (ANNs) can be extremely costly in terms of computation and storage, driving […]

Cette recherche a pour but de contribuer à la recherche sur la coopération internationale et plus précisément la coopération inter-organisationnelle dans le cadre des opérations de la paix en Afrique. Les conflits étant de plus en plus nombreux et complexes, la coopération inter-organisationnelle est devenue extrêmement sollicitée, multipliant la présence d’acteurs dans les régions affectées […]

The aim of this project is to assess the long-term impacts of transport poverty in Canada using mixed methods approach. Transport poverty is the combined effect of transport disadvantage (including but not limited to inadequate public transport options, poor public transport accessibility, not owning or having access to car, perception of safety) and various socio- […]

Aim of the study: The aim of this study is to compare the SARS-CoV-2 sequencing data available from the north American/Canadian SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks in mink to the Danish SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks in mink, and compare genetic similarities. Moreover, a secondary aim is to investigate the antibody response in relation to SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in Canadian mink to […]

Plants are fundamental to the survival of humankind. They create the oxygen we breathe, provide the food we consume, and supply raw materials for numerous industries. We want to know how plants cope with stress. This requires a deep understanding of how plant tissues and cells react to stress cues, which includes understanding how proteins […]

The CookieBox is an angular streaking detector developed for LCLS-II which extracts intrinsic characteristics from an X-ray shot. Those characteristics can then be used to classify and determine if the X-ray shot respects the pre-established experimental framework. However, to be of any value to the rest of the experiment, this classification must be done quickly, […]

L’objectif de mon travail est d’améliorer l’efficacité globale du rendement énergétique dans le domaine de l’installation de l’entreprise Stace, spécialisée dans le CPV (Photovoltaïque à concentration). Pour ce faire, la solution retenue consiste à insérer un étage intermédiaire de conversion DC/DC entre les panneaux CPV (en configuration série) et l’onduleur branché à chaque tracker. L’idée […]

The proposed work will involve the development of a fully coupled Thermal-Hydro-Mechanical (THM) model to study the behavior of cold CO2 fluid injection with surrounding rock. The numerical solution is based on the 2-D thermo-poroelastic displacement discontinuity method (DDM), which is a nonlinear joint deformation model, coupled with the finite element method (FEM) for solving […]

Les lansquenets constituent, au début de l’époque moderne, le plus imposant groupe de mercenaires en Europe. Or, bien peu d’études dans les mondes anglophone et francophone ont comme sujet ces mercenaires allemands. Ainsi, le projet cherche à mettre en lumière cette figure importante de la première modernité. Pour se faire, un travail de recherche dans […]

Bone graft substitutes are used when the defect in the bone is so large that the body cannot heal naturally. Tissue engineering involves the production of materials that when combined with cells are able to fill the volume of the defect. Over time, degradable materials are replaced by bone and the natural state is eventually […]
