He famously founded a university, supported humanists, spoke five languages and wrote an autobiography. But of his four wives, Blanche of Valois (1316–1348), […]

The Canadian Association for Graduate Studies (CAGS) has created aTask Force on Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action and Graduate Education (Reconciliation Task Force). This Reconciliation Task Force will examine the implications for graduate education in relation to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s (TRC) Calls to Action, to reflect on the role of […]

The applicant will be participate in the Vital cities project alongside Professor Jurian Edelenbos and his colleagues.

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 […]
