The main aim of the project is to find new mechanisms by which Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression is regulated in human cells. Regulation of iNOS through post-translational mechanism stage can give better results. That is why in this project iNOS expression is controlled at the post-translational level. High concentration of NO can cause […]

To what extent do changes in the size of the informal sector affect changes in the quality of goods consumed in developing countries? It is well known that a poor assessment of the quantity and quality of goods consumed by households could lead economic models to underestimate the fluctuations of most macroeconomic variables. However, in […]

L’objectif de mon se?jour de recherche en Belgique est de consulter des documents d’archives pour mener a? bon port la troisie?me et dernie?re e?tape de mes recherches doctorales. Mon projet de the?se porte sur une technique cine?matographique que j’appelle la perspective « exo-centrique », soit une image inhabituelle et encore largement méconnue qui traverse néanmoins […]

The Jomon Period (ca. 16,500 – 2,300 years before present) represents a significant part of prehistory in the Japanese Islands, and this longevity is largely tied to the complex human-environment relationships in Jomon society. My project examines these environmental interactions through microscopic plant remains from Jomon grinding tools, using the residues of human activities to […]

With the fast growing information available on the web, students are often greeted with countless learning materials. As such, personalization is an essential strategy for facilitating relevant learning materials to satisfy students’ needs. The scope of this project is to design a recommendation system by using a deep learning process for personalized learning based on […]

A spoken sentence means more than the sum of its words’ meanings. A speaker’s voice, more specifically, the way a speaker shapes speech melody, also conveys emotional information. Healthy brains easily distinguish fear and anger even in short utterances without any meaning. Yet, when we interact with people face-to-face, our brains seemingly ignore this auditory […]

The purpose of this project is to evaluate the pore network with a particular focus on micro CT-Scans to obtain detailed rock structure in Hebron core samples above and below the oil-water contact (OWC). As part of the rock structure, morphological information such as pore shape, spatial distribution, and connectivity are going to be analysed. […]

Rhodopsins are a family of light sensitive proteins which are photosensory in complex organisms (such as humans) but have other functions (ion pumps and channels) in microbial organisms. We have discovered a new and unique group of rhodopsins which were isolated from a microbe in a fresh water lake in Antarctica, called Lake Fryxell. Through […]

Inferring underlying properties of a dataset is a fundamental task in the fields of learning, statistics, and data analysis. In recent years, the amount of data which we have access to and would like to analyze continues to grow at an astronomical rate. Algorithms that were previously considered efficient for learning properties of the data […]

The small business sector plays a critical role in stimulating economic development. In the last two decades, the Internet of Things (IoT) has attracted significant investments by diversifying entrant firms like Amazon and Netflix, and startups like Airbnb and Spotify to bundle resources, including generic technology and market assets from different markets, to design and […]

There is an abundance of evidence from astronomical and cosmological observations that suggests approximately 85% of the matter in the universe is dark matter, an unknown form of matter beyond the description of the standard model of particle physics. To date the effects of dark matter have only been observed through its interactions via gravity; […]

Le présent projet vise à mettre sur pied un outil d’intervention utilisant la réalité virtuelle afin de favoriser le développement de saines habiletés sociales et affectives chez les adolescents. En collaboration avec la Fondation Jasmin Roy, le stagiaire sera ainsi appelé à participer à la création de scénarios sociaux qui seront projetés par le biais […]
