Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are the power generators in hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) that can help to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions in the form of sustainable, zero-emission transportation. However, there are still multiple factors that are hindering FCEV commercialization, including the high cost and short lifetime of electrodes and catalyst layers, […]

Automatically assessing a pilot performance during a flight training session is a capability that can enhance the flight instructor during his duty. From data gathered during a flight maneuver, we are looking for a way to automatically assess pilot performance to augment instructor performance and provide objectivity during flight training assessment.

Panjiao ??, or “doctrinal classification” is a practice unique to Chinese Buddhism that was established during the early period when Buddhism spread to China. Panjiao allows a Buddhist school to envision its place (usually at the supreme position) in the overall Buddhist tradition. Panjiao represents the broadest look of a philosopher vis-à-vis the entire doctrinal […]

Continuous flexible systems such as aircraft wings, pipelines, risers, bridges, power towers, and transmission lines are always subjected to unwanted vibrations induced by unsteady wind loading. The typical engineering solution is to add a tuned-mass damper to these structures. This typically works in removing the unwanted resonance, but it creates new problems as it adds […]

Early childhood (up to age 5 years) is an important and vulnerable period of development. Cognitive and socio-emotional skills during this period are strong predictors of later life outcomes such as employment status, mental health, and overall well-being. Children are particularly sensitive to external factors in this period, and it is therefore important to understand […]

La transition de l’adolescence à l’âge adulte est une étape charnière qui coïncide avec l’apparition et la chronicisation de problématiques coûteuses pour l’individu et la société (ex. : chômage,sous-scolarisation, pauvreté chronique). Bien que ces problématiques soient plus fréquentes auprès des populations vulnérables, ces dernières sont sous-représentées dans la recherche, qui se centre typiquement sur les […]

The PDF research will consist of two main tasks. The first task will be to assess carbon stocks in soils, terrestrial vegetation, and lake sediments from the 1970s to present-day around the Sudbury region. This task will involve using remotely-sensed imagery (Landsat, MODIS) validated with targeted ground-truthing collected as part of the broader L-CARE project […]

ans cette proposition de recherche, une étude connexe est proposée en vue d’investiguer trois questions de recherche clés. Dans l’étude, nous chercherons à determiner si la perte auditive (PA) et l’utilisation d’aides auditives (AA) chez les personnes âgées ayant une perte auditive liée à l’âge (PALA) ont un impact sur la qualité de vie (QV) […]

The proposed project seeks to better understand how contingency, dynamic capability, and task-technology theories factor in business process management models that apply to the business needs of SMEs and allow multiple system integration. Because a lot of research shows that the alignment of the business and IT goals of a company is crucial for business […]

Dans le cadre de mon doctorat, j’ai pu mettre en évidence que 30 min d’engagement dans une tâche cognitive exigeante induit une la fatigue mentale associée à une augmentation de la perception de l’effort lors d’une tâche motrice subséquente. Des données du laboratoire de Dr Pageaux suggèrent une interaction entre la douleur et l’effort nécessaire […]

In Green Sulphur Bacteria, the chlorosome is the organelle responsible for the harvesting of solar energy, and for the transportation of this energy to the rest of the photosynthetic system. This is attained through the use of many pigment molecules, on the order of thousands, that are present within the chlorosome. These pigments absorb the […]

Mon mémoire de maîtrise invite à repenser la coopération mondiale au-delà des frontières nationales et appelle à l’intégration d’une plus large gamme d’acteurs autour des tables de décisions internationales. Pour ce faire, je m’intéresse au cas de l’environnement et, plus particulièrement, à la pollution du plastique dans les océans. À travers ce cas d’étude, mes […]
