La prosopagnosie acquise se caractérise par un déficit de reconnaissance des visages dû à diverses lésions cérébrales. Ceux souffrant de lésions postérieures utilisent davantage la région de la bouche au lieu de celle des yeux pour l’identification des visages, bien qu’elle soit la région la plus diagnostique dans cette tâche. Ces patients présentent également un […]

The proposed research will contribute to an empirical analysis of the utility of the Electronically Activated Recorder (EAR) and Athlete Coding System for Social Environments in Sport (ACSSES) to assess auditory observational data for meaningful social processes related to social identity in youth sport teams. We anticipate that observational data collected from participants’ social interactions […]

Research has found that mindfulness-based meditation practice, when guided by professionals, can improve emotional well-being and attention. This has led to interest in offering meditation practice to autistic people. Indeed, whilst autistic people are able to process more sensory information than non-autistic people, which can lead to strengths in some areas, it can also lead […]

The proposed project aims to develop dynamic control systems for the autonomous operation of agricultural Wide-Span Implement Carriers (WSICs). The dynamic effects will be integrated into the control algorithms for the stationary and mobile mode of WSIC to further improve the precision and efficiency for path tracking of the machine. The proper control laws will […]

Within species, there is variability among individuals in their characteristics and resource use. This variability is frequently represented as discrete forms, or morphs, that have differences in genetics, physical characteristics, and resource use. The evolution of morphs within fish species has occurred independently dozens of times within lakes at northern latitudes. This phenomenon is perhaps […]

When an earthquake happens, the soil underneath structures loses all or parts of its resistance. This condition is called liquefaction (for loose sands) or cyclic softening (for sensitive clays) as the soil acts as water during the earthquake. Liquefaction or cyclic softening can damage considerably man-made and natural earth structures and cause serious loss of […]

Le projet consiste à comprendre la trajectoire des pratiques transgressives des militant.e.s qui vivent dans les municipalités de San Salvador Atenco, Texcoco et Chimalhuacán, dans le contexte de la construction du Nouvel Aéroport de la Ville de México, au Mexique, dans l’État de México. À partir de la collecte des histoires de vie de 5 […]

We study an interferometer where light is injected via a fixed number of input ports. Inside the interferometer, light coming from different ports interacts, generating non-trivial outputs. Simulation of the output is exponentially hard for a classical computer: validating the output cannot be done under realistic conditions. We seek to formulate a validation procedure, i.e. […]

The Beaver Hills Biosphere is a newly established biosphere reserve that needs to communicate why it is a special place to its residents and visitors. The UNESCO Biosphere program wants biosphere reserves to promote the exchange and transfer of knowledge on environmental problems and solutions, and to foster environmental education for sustainable development. Research related […]

Cognitive functions decline with aging and a vascular contribution to neuronal damage has been proposed. Accumulation of senescent cells (SnC) is associated with age. SnC remain metabolically active and release numerous factors of Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype potentially harmful. Our hypothesis is that accumulation of cerebrovascular senescent endothelial cells (SnEC) contributes to vascular cognitive impairment and […]

Ce projet vise à développer une méthode de prédiction et d’atténuation précise et abordable du bruit induit par l’écoulement. L’approche innovante, basée sur les développements récents en simulation et en modélisation fondée sur les données, promesse de réduire la pollution sonore, d’améliorer la santé publique et atténuer l’impact de l’urbanisation. À ce jour, les limites […]

Terrestrial Laser scanning is a surveying tool that can create 3D point clouds by shooting a web/mesh of laser points in a 360° range of its surroundings, determining the coordinates at each data point. This research will determine its applicability to measure deformations of a Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining wall by comparing measurements to […]
