The lack of robust sound awareness in robotics and autonomous machines is a crucial limiting factor in their usefulness and adoption. Taking a biologically inspired approach offers novel computational mechanisms to solve a variety of challenges in this field. The primary objective of this proposal is to finalize and evaluate a Bayesian auditory artificial intelligence […]

Le Canada est un leader international en trampoline depuis plusieurs olympiades. Afin de maintenir ces performances, il convient d’innover dans les techniques des saltos vrillés. En collaboration avec l’INS Québec, nous allons créer, pour des trampolinistes, une variété de techniques optimales de vrilles aériennes au moyen de simulation informatique. Le défi est de développer 1) […]

The student’s PhD research focuses on the relationship between the dairy policy and dairy cooperatives in Germany in the context of agricultural industrialization and globalization. Traditionally, dairy cooperatives and producers were regarded as “sitting in the same boat” because dairy cooperatives are owned by producers and help producers collectively bargain to gain a fair price […]

Plasma is a gas of charged particles which is the most common state of the matter in the visible universe. It is also widely used in laboratory and industry for numerous practical applications such as plasma processing devices, spacecraft thrusters, and future fusion reactors. Therefore physics of plasmas addresses a number of fundamental problems such […]

Adenosine is a naturally occurring molecule that is found in many living systems that can be used as to slow rapid heartbeat and other ailments. Its efficient use as a medication depends on adenosine receptors present on many tissues within the human body. This family of receptors consist of four subtypes with the A1AR subtype […]

Cette recherche porte sur les formes d’urbanité invisibles, la guérison spirituelle et les imaginaires de l’urbain dans la métropole d’Abidjan en Côte d’Ivoire. Au travers d’une perspective ouverte à la diversité des pratiques religieuses (animistes, chrétiennes et musulmanes) et des représentations culturelles des citadin.e.s sur les afflictions, la guérison et la santé présentes dans cette […]

Aujourd’hui, les avancées de la robotique permettent aux personnes atteintes de trouble musculo-squelettique de s’équiper d’un bras d’assistance, habituellement placé sur leur fauteuil motorisé, qu’ils peuvent contrôler via une manette spécialement calibrée à leur niveau de force musculaire. Il a été démontré que ces bras robotiques sont bénéfiques à l’autonomie et à l’habileté de ces […]

The aims of the project are to address: why female international STEM students choose Denmark; what hurdles international students face in applying for post graduate work in the innovation sector and permanent residency and if there are any distinct hurdles for female students; what strategies stakeholders are utilizing to retain foreign talent;and how can existing […]

n power generation and delivery systems, there are always a number of control/design parameters and set-points that should be tuned to some optimum values for maximizing efficiency and output power. For example, in photovoltaic cells, there is an optimum load value that maximizes the output power. This value may change over time depending on the […]

La vulgarisation scientifique suppose de préparer du contenu dit « expert » en vue d’être diffuser et lu par des publics non experts. Ce passage vers un contenu profane demande de comprendre l’information d’origine, mais également des différents publics auxquels il s’adressera : il faut alors communiquer un message pertinent pour ce public au regard […]

The aim of this project is to design fast computing a fundamental mathematical object called algebraic relations, particularly on Pade approximants and multivariate interpolants. This is motivated by numerous important applications, within computer algebra itself and in related fields such as cryptology, coding theory, and polynomial optimization. The goal is twofold: first, to design algorithms […]

Bacterial biofilm formation on medical devices remains an unsolved medical challenge. Biofilms are communities of bacteria within which bacteria are able to become highly resistant to antibiotics and the host’s immune system. Developing materials that prevent biofilm formation is limited by a lack of understanding about how bacteria attach to and form biofilm on surfaces. […]
