Our experience of music is multifaceted, including aspects of movement, emotion, timing, and expectation. Accordingly, music cognition recruits a wide range of brain areas during both passive listening, and musical performance. However, the extent to which these brain regions interact with each other is not fully understood. Recent research has indicated that synchronization of neural […]

The proposed project will use machine learning to predict vegetation biomass across the state of California using climate variables (precipitation, temperature). This will create a map of what vegetation is expected to be in a given climate regime. This modeled vegetation distribution will be compared to a map of observed vegetation to identify regions where […]

Le bien-être du personnel et fidéliser les employés potentiels représentent des préoccupations dont les employeurs essaient de trouver des solutions au sein de leurs organisations. Ainsi, trouver l’outil le plus adéquat pour faciliter cette tâche est le souci de chaque gestionnaire. C’est le but de ce présent projet et ceci à travers la mise en […]

The project aims to model hydrogen flame/wall interaction in an in-cylinder-like condition using CFD tools and validate the model by in-house experiments on the existing test-bench at SFU, to study different mechanism and structure of the air entrainment and mixing mechanisms associated with it, and quenching distance, in different impingement wall distances, ignition source distance. […]

Le but du stage est d’étudier l’expression génique par transcriptomique unicellulaire des enzymes impliquées dans la O-GlcNAcylation et le métabolisme énergétique mitochondrial en condition de choc septique. Deux modèles animaux sont étudiées, par injection de lipopolysaccharides ou par ligature de ponction caecale. On étudiera également l’impact des niveaux de O-GlcNAculation chez des souris déficientes en […]

There are many commercialized active noise cancellation (ANC) headphones and headsets that try to reduce unwanted background noise. You can simply listen to your favorite music or talking with your loved ones in crowed areas using them without any distractions. The overall working principle of them is to generate an inverse signal to unwanted noise […]

We will design novel BO strategies to parallelize multi-target neurostimulation optimization. The development of large-channel-count neural interfaces aims at obtaining high-throughput communication with the nervous system by parallelizing the flow of information over multiple subregions. For instance, the motor cortex, spinal cord and nerves host representations of multiple bodily movements within highly-interconnected topographies. Neural interfaces […]

Actuellement, les applications de synthèse vocale manquent de qualité ou sont fortement payantes. Nous travaillons à la mise au point d’une synthèse vocale librement accessible, dont les paramètres sont manipulables et dont la qualité est comparable à celle de la parole humaine. Ceci a des applications immédiates dans l’accessibilité pour les personnes aveugles, les livres […]

Dans ce projet, nous voulons valider la faisabilité et la désirabilité de notre concept en réalisant d’une part une étude de marché approfondie sur le potentiel de nos développements au niveau local et par la suite en testant notre concept auprès d’une liste de manufacturiers de niche des véhicules électriques mais aussi d’un groupe d’utilisateur.trice.s […]

Microbial contamination of surfaces in specific environments is a significant public health issue. Nosocomial infections and those linked to the installation of implants claim many victims each year. To effectively fight against this proliferation, several methods are available or under development to confer antibacterial properties to surfaces. Chemical functionalization and physical nanostructuring are the most […]

iGen Education Group opened in the Kerrisdale Community of Vancouver, British Columbia at the end of 2018. Previously, Sparks Academy offered high quality enhancement programs in STEAM learning for students aged 3 to 15. iGen Education Group has expanded to include three learning pathways and provides a range of choice when it comes to the […]

Increasing soil carbon and nitrogen storage is critical for mediating climate change and sustaining soil fertility. A large number of biodiversity manipulation experiments have collectively suggested that high plant diversity increases soil carbon and nitrogen stocks; however, it remains untested whether such conclusions hold in natural ecosystems. We will analyse Canada’s National Forest Inventory database […]
