L’objectif du projet présenté ici est d’établir le potentiel d’utilisation de plantes indigènes et de leur combinaison face à la décontamination du triclosan au sein d’infrastructures phytotechnologiques innovatrices ; des marais filtrants intégrés aux paysages québécois. Pour ce faire, des marais en mésocosmes seront mis en place en fonction de la diversité, de la capacité […]

The school closures due to COVID-19 accompanied with the change to remote learning had further exacerbated disparities in the already existing achievement gaps of African Nova Scotian learners in Canada. We propose a technology innovation to be co-developed with the African Nova Scotian community and teachers, offers flexibility in delivery, with content and pedagogical approaches […]

L’objectif du projet est de tester l’adaptation de la forme des fleurs de l’Impatiente du cap aux milieux urbains à l’aide d’une expérience de type jardin commun. Des plants de l’Impatiente du cap provenant de 16 populations de 4 villes canadiennes différentes seront étudiées: Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal et Québec. Dans chaque ville, les graines de […]

This project aims to challenge unjust systems and policies and support Indigenous people in their efforts to establish their food systems and adapt to the new COVID-19 world. It will explore ways to address long-term pandemic-related food security challenges led by Indigenous organizations. The intern will gather information from experiences and existing research across Indigenous […]

The research project seeks to understand why some regional governments (the governmental level below central states) are more internationally active than others, a phenomenon known as paradiplomacy. I hypothesize this variation is influenced by the presence/absence of a patron state. A patron state is a foreign state which acts as an advocate of a region’s […]

The project’s aim is to develop SlicerAR, free open-source software infrastructure for rendering native scenes (medical images, anatomical structures, etc.) on the augmented reality devices within the 3D Slicer (www.slicer.org) medical image analysis platform, to allow end-user applications to display anatomical models overlaid on the real-world view.

Bridges Institute is a counselling centre in Nova Scotia with a mission to help people practice healthy, loving and respectful relationships with their partners and families. Bridges seeks to prevent domestic violence. Changing traditional male role norms may not only increase healthy help-seeking behaviours but may play an upstream role in the prevention of domestic […]

Food freshness is an essential consideration for food quality control and consumer acceptance, especially for fish and related products which are highly perishable due to their special biological and physicochemical characteristics. Conventional methods to detect fish spoilage are generally not suitable for on-site application due to the complexity of procedures and high testing requirements. Thus, […]

Network parameter configuration is crucial for optimizing performance in a cellular network. Often, such parameters are too numerous and their interdependence too complicated for them to be efficiently configured by human experts. Therefore, it is of great interest to study network parameter configuration as a machine learning problem. We aim to expand on the machine […]

La voie Hippo est une voie de signalisation intra-cellulaire régulant différents processus tels que la prolifération et la différentiation cellulaire. Il a été démontré que la voie Hippo est impliquée dans le développement et la physiologie de l’utérus chez différentes espèces, dont la souris. Ses rôles dans la physiologie utérine bovine sont toutefois méconnus. De […]

Ce projet de recherche s’articule autour des enjeux e?thiques de l’acte de lecture et des questions esthe?tiques pose?es par la mise en sce?ne de l’effacement de la voix narrative dans le roman contemporain. Dans les œuvres de Laurent Mauvignier Des hommes (2009) et Ce que j’appelle oubli (2011), cet effacement rend le texte immersif et […]

Hybrid organic–inorganic halide perovskites nanocrystals (HPNCs), such as CH3NH3PbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I), have recently experienced extraordinary development in optoelectronic applications due to their promising optical and electrical properties. Although most investigations have been mainly focused on improving and optimizing photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, and photodetectors efficiencies of HPNCs, there is great interest and potential […]
