Organic feedstock chemicals such as those from extracted from natural gas and petroleum refinement are employed as fuels, however their abundance and relative inexpensive makes them attractive candidates as starting materials for other useful chemicals. This remains a difficult yet highly desired task for chemists, as these compounds are notoriously unreactive. We plan to develop […]

Dans le domaine de la santé, l’étude de l’immunologie et des maladies infectieuses est un sujet de recherche important, car certaines maladies, tel que le VIH et le cancer, restent incurables à ce jour. Nos recherches s’intéressent à la réponse immunitaire adaptative et plus particulièrement aux lymphocytes T CD8, un type de globule blanc. Dans […]

Plusieurs stratégies pour restaurer la vue ont été tentées depuis les années 60 en équipant les patients d’une caméra et en stimulant directement le cerveau. Toutefois aucune de ces tentatives n’a pour l’instant pu se concrétiser et ceci est en grande partie imputable à la façon dont le cerveau est stimulé. Grâce au développement de […]

e curriculum Montessori se démarque par sa longévité et sa large diffusion à l’international. Les études portant sur ses retombées suggèrent des effets positifs en ce qui a trait aux performances scolaires, aux habiletés sociales et au développement de l’autonomie des élèves. Cela dit, la fidélité de l’implantation est l’une des plus importantes limites de […]

The outer covering of organisms often come in the form of a cellular plasma membrane, providing protection from harsh external factors. However, protection is not its only function; it acts as a matrix for important cellular reactions and processes (e.g. signal transduction, protein interactions, and more). At its basis, the membrane is a lipid bilayer […]

This project will involve the research and production of micro-histories of non-profit humanitarian organizations based in Canada. By examining small moments in the foundation and work of these organizations, our goal is to contribute to a better understanding of the role of Canadian civil society organizations in international humanitarian programs. Our partners work in a […]

The project will foster high-quality analysis of taxation and other public policies in Canada. We will assemble data on public finances of governments in Canada and, to make them more useful for policy analysis, we will transform the data to make them consistent over time and across geographic units of Canada. We will make the […]

In October 2017, Mexico’s Congress passed the General Law on Disappearances, the first federal-legal measure of its kind. After eleven years of extreme violence that coincide with the War on Drugs, more than 37,000 (RNPED, 2018) persons are officially disappeared, though it is widely suspected the figure is now in excess of 40,000. This research […]

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has published a set of guidelines to assist designers in the task of designing digital content which will be accessible to users with a wide range of abilities. These guidelines are known as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), version 2.1. Students in the Inclusive Design program learn to […]

This project will concentrate on the 60 volumes Chinese translation Mah?samnip?ta s?tra , examine the quotation and annotation of this scriptures from the later works. With the interdisciplinary research methods including Buddhist philosophy, philology, ancient medicine, history, astronomy and geography , I will put this s?tra under the perspective of intellectual history and conduct a […]

Les meilleurs joueurs prennent la bonne décision, au bon moment et peu importe le contexte. Les habiletés de prise de décisions sont essentielles au développement du jeune joueur rêvant d’atteindre les sommets de son sport. En partenariat avec l’Académie Ulysse, le présent projet vise, pour commencer, à élaborer une approche par problème pour améliorer la […]

The proposed project is part of a larger effort to develop more suitable conceptual design methodologies for aircraft that account for the complex aerodynamic interactions of novel concepts, for example as present with distributed propulsion concepts. For the project an advanced aerodynamic code will be integrated in an existing larger design methodology. The advantages will […]
