Sexually transmitted infections in immigrant and refugee populations in situation of social vulnerability in the state of Goiás-Brazil.

This project aims to support the data collection of a mix-method study to be implemented by a team of 6 undergraduate students. The study investigates the epidemiology and the lived experience of sexually transmitted infections of socially vulnerable English, Spanish and French speakers, immigrants/refugees. It will be done by uncovering issues of sexual and reproductive […]

Computer Modeling of Protein-Nanoparticles Interactions for Nanomedicinal Applications: Binding Thermodynamics of Endohedral Metallofullerenes (Gd@C60) and Toll-like Receptor 5

carbon-cage nanoparticles, provide a meaningful approach to nanomedicine owing to their resistance to metabolism and kinetic stability, and confinement prevents direct binding of the toxic metal ions to cellular components. Conjugation of endohedral metallofullerenes with proteins could overcome many physiological issues such as low biocompatibility, and the interaction of these supramolecular assemblies warrants further investigation.

Studying the Impact of Performance Issues on End Users

Performance assurance activities are an essential step in the release cycle of large software systems. However, prior research on software performance often does not consider the impact on end users; while developers may miss performance issues that lowers the satisfaction rate of end users, or the effort is spent on fixing those issues that may […]

Larval Ecology of the Invasive European common blue butterfly in Quebec

The European common blue butterfly was first spotted in Quebec and has since become well-established in open habitats and disturbed areas around Montreal. In late summer and early fall, it is one of the most abundant butterflies. This project aims first to set up laboratory breeding of the European common blue and second to test […]

Optical properties and climate impact of wildfire emissions

Biomass burning is the largest source of carbonaceous aerosol in the atmosphere. Biomass burning aerosol can alter the Earth’s radiative balance by absorption and scattering of solar radiation, resulting in a significant impact on global climate. However, because of the complexity of biomass burning aerosol, the magnitude of this climate effect is still uncertain. The […]
