Nuclear structure of 116Sn studied through 115Sn(n, ?)

A nucleus of tin composed of 50 protons and 66 neutrons, called 116Sn, is the subject of our investigation. Only certain energies are available to nuclei at any one time, and when a nucleus reaches one of these energy states, it acquires features unique to that state. To create the examined nucleus, a beam of […]

Leveraging Computer Vision to improve the estimation of Postural Balance.

Improving postural balance is a part of many rehabilitation programs and plays an important role in clinical evaluation of residual motor ability. The assessment of center of pressure (COP) displacement is commonly done by laboratory-grade force plates that are expensive and require specific measurement set-up. The Nintendo Wii Balance Board (WBB) was proposed as an […]

Ultrafast Laser Interaction for Chemical and Topological Functionalization of Metallic

This project is to understand the chemical modifications induced by laser irradiation leading to the formation of periodic nanostructures on the surface of metals. Such a study is very significant since it will allow to tune metallic surface properties to control for instance wettability, i.e. whether surfaces are hydrophillic (attract water) or hydrophobic (repel water). […]

Effects of host plant quality on the transcriptional signatures of flight in migratory butterflies

Migratory insects surpass migratory terrestrial vertebrates in biomass and play essential roles in global ecosystems and agroecosystems serving as pollinators, biological control, or food and nutrient sources. They can also have detrimental effects as vectors of plant and animal diseases or as ecological pests. It is therefore essential for food, ecological, and human security to […]
