Electromagnetic (EM) waves are becoming more prevalent due to the rapid development of electronics, which pose serious risks to human health, electric devices, and the environment1,2. In order to overcome the above problems, engineering and fabrication of multifunctional EM shielding materials are indispensable. Thus, recently, a wide spectrum of materials ranging from metals to soft […]

De nombreux problèmes décisionnels réels issus des domaines des transports, de la logistique et de l’administration publique partagent une structure commune dans laquelle un décideur cherche à adopter des politiques permettant d’optimiser un objectif qui dépend de la réaction d’une population. Pour adéquatement formaliser ce type de problème, l’hétérogénéité des préférences et des objectifs des […]

Early childhood educators are a crucial element of children’s early learning and child care experiences. The state of their well-being is known to influence the quality of care and influence retention/turnover within the field. The early childhood education field in Nova Scotia has experienced considerable changes over the last few years, with the implementation of […]

Decomposition is the dynamic process whereby a compound is disintegrated into its elementary constituents through physical, chemical and biological mechanisms. Matrices associated with decomposing human remains, such as soil, are an omnipresent source of physical evidence in forensic casework. Previous research has already emphazied the use of these matrices to evaluate their potential to capture […]

ZrB2-B4C composites are potentially very attractive for aerospace applications exposed to ultra-high temperatures > 2000 degree C. While monolithic composites in this material system are well-known, development of a functionally graded composite (FGM) is a novel idea. Recently, we have published a research article [1] in which the FGM concept in this system has been […]

Today’s wind energy prediction procedures ignore the flow deceleration, also known as blockage, caused by the wind farm on the approaching wind, resulting in a power overprediction bias that pervades the entire farm. Numerical large eddy simulations (LES) of wind farms immersed in atmospheric boundary layers (ABL) will be used to study the phenomenon and […]

PSR Canada is a grassroots volunteer professional organization that provides education to practitioners in the field of mental health and addiction. Using its Competencies of Practice for Canadian Recovery-Oriented Psychosocial Rehabilitation Practitioners, a document compiled through the Scientific Committee of the organization, it offers a national certification program for people who want to demonstrate their […]

Messenger RNAs (mRNAs) need to be decoded and translated into proteins in our bodies. This process must be tightly regulated by RNA-binding proteins such as LARP1. This protein is found in several organisms and by regulating mRNA translation it also regulates cell growth, but its function is poorly understood. LARP1 has been found in higher-than-normal […]

L’abondance naturelle et renouvelée de la lumière solaire fait de sa conversion en électricité l’une des meilleures sources d’énergie propre. Pour exploiter cette énergie verte et la convertir en électricité, le partenariat international préparera des pérovskites hybrides organiques-inorganiques. Cette génération de matériaux devrait avoir des propriétés optoélectroniques améliorées par rapport aux pérovskites courantes. L’objectif du […]

Cette étude a pour but de mettre en œuvre un programme de formation en matière d’intégration sociale des familles immigrantes destiné aux organismes d’action communautaire autonome (ACA) non spécialisés en immigration. Cette recherche valorisera l’expertise développée par des centres communautaires de loisir et permettra plus largement aux autres organismes d’ACA non spécialisés en immigration d’acquérir […]

The number of students requiring special education support in middle and high schools across Canada continue to rise, but teachers are challenged in implementing accommodations within students’ individual education plans due to large class sizes, limited time and lack of resources. Therefore, the objective of this project is to develop a prototype of a holistic […]

Dans la Zone d’entraide d’Alloprof, les élèves peuvent poser leurs questions. Présentement, Alloprof a un système automatisé de recommandations de contenus pédagogiques qui, à partir des questions posées dans la Zone d’entraide, propose des rubriques d’aide à lire. Toutefois, plusieurs élèves posent des questions qui sont transmises sous forme d’images, par exemple, une photographie d’une […]
