I would like to study what history is emphasized in Chinese middle and high school classrooms. Through observation, I would like to see what elements of Chinese history are focused on, and in turn, how this may contribute to the Chinese identity. Compared to Canada, China has a rich history spanning thousands of years, yet […]

Current wastewater treatment facilities are relatively large and located in centralized populated areas. A major issue arises in an area such as Tianjin China because there are a number a small communities and villages located a great distance away from the centralized treatment plant within the city. Because of this, those villages require a transportation […]

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 […]

The aeronautic and aerospace industries are exploring new approached to reduce the mass of cables, bulky electronic systems. This rationally leads onto aircraft weight reduction as well as the amount of CO2 and greenhouse gas emitted by aircrafts. To reduce the mass of cables, merging/embedding different electronic systems in a single chip is an alternative. […]

Failure of a material under a repetitive load is called (mechanical) fatigue. Our goal is to substantially improve the understanding of the fatigue process by following continuously the material’s properties/response to a specific type of load during a test. We have developed some understanding for tests in torsion, allowing us to detect macroscopic cracks instantaneously […]

La fabrication numérique d’une ville historique Ce projet de fabrication numérique d’une ville historique est une déclinaison du projet de fabrication de ville intelligente #SmartCityMaker (Romero & Lille, 2017 ; Romero, Lille, Girard, Cohen, & Spence, 2017). Il vise aider les élèves à étudier rigoureusement le passé dans une séquence d’apprentissage technocréative. Dans ce projet, […]

Suppose there are a number of committees of people, which we represent by vertices of a graph and draw an edge between two vertices if those committees share a common member. Then the list-colouring number is (informally) the minimum number k so that as long as each committee comes up with a list of k-many […]

Phytoplankton produce more than half of the world’s oxygen annually, and make omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are healthy fats that are passed marine food chains to fish for human consumption. These healthy fats are essential to our diet, meaning our bodies either cannot produce them at all or not in high enough quantities […]

Buried pipelines may go under large lateral deformations in different occasions such as ice gouging, ground movement, significant thermal gradients, and dragging by anchors, etc. In practice, the backfilling material is much softer than the native trench material because of the impact of functional, environmental, and constructional loads. This important aspect which is less considered […]

Water electrolysis (splitting water into O2 and H2; 2H2O 2H2 + O2) is a promising way to creating hydrogen gas as a storable chemical fuel. While H2 is the desired fuel, the evolution of oxygen hinders hydrogen production as it is kinetically challenging and requires potent and expensive catalysts to be driven at an appreciable […]

Depuis la fin des années quatre-vingt, l’insécurité est au cœur des débats en Amérique latine ; notamment au Brésil et au Mexique. Les forces de l’ordre sont employées pour répondre à ces problèmes toutefois, les taux de criminalité ne diminuent pas et la brutalité policière est répandue. Certaines villes latino-américaines mettent alors en place des […]

Drilling risers are vertical pipes typically used with subsea blowout preventers (BOP), well conductors and various casings and tubing elements deployed from mobile drilling units for drilling of subsea wells. Drilling risers are subject to wave induced motions from vessel fluctuations, direct wave actions and vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) due to current flow passing the riser. […]
