L’extraction et le partage de données sont au cœur de nombreux défis liés aux systèmes d’information, en particulier dans le domaine médical. C’est pourquoi nous avons développé une méthode de mise en correspondance entre de multiples sources de données médicales et un modèle de connaissance (ontologie). Cette méthode permet, suite à l’intégration d’une source, l’extraction […]

Eye tracking has been a staple of partially automated vehicles for the last several years and forms a standard part of a driver monitoring package: https://www.seeingmachines.com/industry-applications/automotive/ The next step is to understand if drivers are hovering over the steering wheel or pedals in preparation to take control. As part of the HumanDrive project: https://humandrive.co.uk/ we […]

Financial Markets represent complex systems where the dynamics between market participants drive the evolution of prevailing prices. For this reason, it is important for fund managers to understand how these market impacts shape liquidity, transaction costs and equilibrium returns. To cope with the vast uncertainties, the subject of stochastic control provides key insights and critical […]

Large scale monitoring and control systems are being increasingly deployed around us, from intelligent transportation systems to smart grids. In exchange of the benefits supplied by these systems, participating agents are required to continuously share data with these complex systems. This data often consists of highly privacy-sensitive information, including but not limited to location, power […]

Coastal areas are some of the most biodiverse environments in the world, and are constantly changing. Therefore, mapping projects for this near-shore area are extremely important. Many mapping procedures include optical methods, such as satellite imagery or underwater video, which is limited in effectiveness by cloud cover or water clarity. Other instruments, such as boat […]

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the lichen Umbilicaria muhlenbergii fraction(s) on osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma cells. MTT assay will demonstrate the activity of these fraction(s) against cancer cells. Appoptosis and inhibition growth analyses will be examined. The following objectives in the allocated time of five months (June 1-October 30, 2019) […]

The proposed project deals with a novel idea of combining lightweight design and synthesis of metallic nanostructured materials and their use as feedstcok in the development of high-strength thin layered coatings. The engineered design of particles holds the key to accommodate both strength and toughness in the derived coatings due to the very nature of […]

Description: During drying most real materials shrink depending on moisture content, physical structure and sometimes the rate of drying. Moisture and temperature dependent transport properties (such as moisture diffusivity, thermal conductivity etc.) that control the drying rate change significantly with the shrinkage of the product. A two-dimensional liquid diffusion model will be developed in MATLAB […]

My project is part of the BICEP Array experiment. This experiment has as a final goal finding an answer to the biggest question of all times: how did the universe begin? What happened in the very first moments? We are going to achieve this through a map of the Cosmic Microwave Background, the oldest (and […]

Afin de s’adapter à plus ou moins long terme à leur environnement, plusieurs organismes ont recours à des modifications épigénétiques, c’est-à-dire en périphérie de l’ADN. Ces modifications, comme l’addition d’une petite molécule sur la chaîne d’ADN, ne changent pas la séquence elle-même. Elles en changent plutôt la « lisibilité », à la manière d’une rature […]

Nowadays, buildings consume about 40% of the global energy, what corresponds to one-third of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To deal with this issue, the concept of Net-Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) was conceived. These buildings produce, by means of renewable energy sources (RESs), the total energy they consume on an annual basis. Since RESs, such as […]
