Super-Kamiokande is a Japan-based, Nobel Prize winning underground neutrino detector aimed at measuring differences in the behaviours of tiny fundamental particles called neutrinos and their antiparticle counterparts, antineutrinos. These measurements would provide part of the answer as to why our universe is dominated by matter and why so much antimatter is missing. The detector is […]

Ambrosia beetles are an excellent example for invasive species that show unusual success in establishing in new regions outside their native range. They pose threat to forest ecosystems and plant nurseries in many continental regions, where they were introduced. They have a mutualistic relationship with a group of fungi called ‘ambrosia’ which they carry with […]

Dans le cadre de mon travail de séminaire de Staatsexamen (équivalent d’une maîtrise) au sein de l’Université de la Sarre (Allemagne), je souhaite réaliser une étude comparée de droit français, européen et canadien. M’intéressant particulièrement au droit européen ainsi que au droit administratif, je souhaite saisir l’opportunité de l’entrée en vigueur de l’accord économique et […]

Skeletal muscle plays several different roles in the promotion and maintenance of health and well-being. The loss of muscle mass that occurs with aging, chronic muscle wasting diseases, and physical inactivity puts people at an increased risk of frailty and becoming insulin resistant. Some individuals fail to increase the size of their muscle following (low […]

The project will consist on visiting the Gravitation and Cosmology research group of the university of Sheffield in order to start a collaboration in a specific area of mathematical aspects of gravitation. The research in this area will: provide insights on quantum theories of gravity, in particular Group Field Theory; help to develop general mathematical […]

FluidPlanet.org is a non-profit organization that builds and runs gaming-based interactive digital twins (virtual versions of real places) with other non-profit organizations (e.g., universities, communities, etc.) to support the understanding and study of public environments. In this project, FluidPlanet.org will work with the University of Lethbridge and the University of Calgary to develop digital twins […]

Customers usually get confused buying an item online. Therefore, they consult with their friends, use their past experience, and survey reviews from other customers. Some of the main findings from a survey conducted by eMarketer, in which each participant could choose multiple answers are as follows: a friend’s recommendation (76%), previous experiences you had with […]

Le projet susmentionné consiste en l’évaluation des produits GenieLab actuels en ce qui a trait à l’accessibilité et à la rentabilité. Il vise à répondre à la question suivante. Dans quelle mesure nos trousses d’atelier à GenieLab sont-elles accessibles pour notre groupe démographique cible? (Notre groupe démographique cible est principalement les enfants âgés de cinq […]

Seismic lines – linear exploration corridors constructed for petroleum exploration – bisect the forests of northern Alberta and influence a host of ecosystem processes. There are an estimated 1.8 million kilometers of seismic lines in Alberta alone. Unfortunately, many of these lines are in a state of arrested succession and are unlikely to recover without […]

Les contaminants émergents dans les effluents miniers, tel que l’azote ammoniacal, font partie des sources principales de la toxicité aquatique. Ainsi, les priorités futures des industries minières en matière de gestion de l’eau devraient améliorer et développer des technologies de traitement durable pour traiter l’azote ammoniacal dans les milieux les plus sensibles tel que le […]

Over the past decades, Canada has witnessed a continuous increase in the frequency and magnitude of climate change-induced natural disasters. Flood events are considered the most occurring climate-induced hazards in Canada. Cities rely on a series of Critical Infrastructure Networks (CIN) to perform adequately, flood events can be the reason for serious disruptions in these […]

Les énergies renouvelables sont amenées à remplacer les énergies fossiles dans le mix énergétique mondial. Parmi les différentes technologies disponibles, les technologies photovoltaïques prennent une part importante. L’objectif de ce stage est de développer des méthodes de test de modules photovoltaïques à concentration en environnement extérieur, et d’appliquer ces méthodes pour caractériser des modules fabriqués […]
