The state of Michoacan in Mexico, where most of the drug war comes from, has a long history of exploitation against indigenous people and the natural resources concentrated in the state. Michoacan’s vast system of forests has been subjected to years of illegal wood trafficking, a fact very well known but little exposed, pushing the […]

This three-year research program investigates schools and communities in Calgary, Winnipeg, Charlottetown and St. John’s to learn about their shared and disparate approaches to career development for refugee and newcomer children. This knowledge will prepare counsellors and teachers who provide career development programs and services and it will create stronger networks between community partners, universities […]

The physical properties of materials not only depend on the chemical composition but also their microstructure. The properties and their relationship with the composition and microstructure were mainly studied by experiments and try-and-error method before. With the combination of physical principles and computers, now people may study the properties of materials through computer simulation. First-principle […]

Scientific literacy and life-long scientific education is becoming increasingly important for everyday life in our society. One of the mediums through which the public can find accessible information on science and technology advancements is their local science centre such as Science World. Science World would like to increase their adult-oriented content by 2020 and support […]

Concerns about the regimenting and homogenizing effect of technological advancement on the distinctness of place and culture have triggered conversations on regionalism and identity in architecture leading to renewed interest in and deliberation on vernacular building traditions. This research proposes a study of the historiography of Indian Architecture with special emphasis on the Architecture, Urbanism […]

In China, there are several airports located in high altitude, mountainous and highly populated cities with many high-rise buildings and man-made obstacles nearby. In order to comply with flight safety regulations, civil aircraft must takeoff and climb-out under the requirements of relevant certification regulations (FAR25, CS25, CCAR25, etc.) and operation regulations (FAR121, JAA-OPS, CCAR121, etc.). […]

As a major field of science, materials behavior plays vital role in engineering applications and various industries. Many researchers are investigating the properties of different materials to propose better and more reliable materials for different applications. Bulk metallic glasses are one of the most recent developments in material science. The aim of this research is […]

This documentary film on environmental policy in china is an international collaboration with Dr. Wang Xi, the director of the Institute of Environmental and Resource Law at Jiao Tong University in Shanghai, China. Dr. Wang Xi has worked on the amendment to China’s Environmental Law in 2014. This policy-driven research is innovative in its methodological […]

Proper brain development is required for normal cognitive functions in mammals. Recent studies have shown that both protein-coding genes and noncoding RNAs, especially microRNAs (miRNAs), play crucial roles in brain development. We have identified several miRNAs that are expressed in specific regions in the embryonic and adult mouse cerebral cortex, and demonstrated their important roles […]

Le sujet de ce stage portera sur la climatologie, l’analyse géologique, géographique, hydrologique et morphologique de certains bassins dans la région centrale de l’état de Veracruz. Le climat est grandement influencé par des caractéristiques physiographiques côtières comme les montagnes faisant réagir rapidement l’apparition d’évènements spécifiques et de cyclones tropicaux en saison des pluies. Certains endroits […]

Aujourd’hui, l’élevage des poules pondeuses dans des cages conventionnelles est considéré comme un mode d’élevage ne répondant pas aux nouvelles aux exigences de bien être animal malgré que certaines études précédentes affirment son intérêt sur l’échelle environnementale. Deux autres modes d’agencement des cages ont été proposés pour remplacer les cages conventionnelles soient : les volières […]

La pyrolyse rapide est procédé thermochimique qui permet de transformer une biomasse en trois produits : une phase liquide (majoritaire) appelée biohuile, une phase solide appelée biochar et une phase gazeuse. Ce projet de recherche Mitacs consiste à étudier cette phase gazeuse produit par pyrolyse rapide de déchets agricoles et à en évaluer les valorisations […]
