Le territoire du delta du fleuve Rouge est constamment façonné par l’eau; on y construit des digues pour se protéger en cas d’inondations depuis plus d’un millénaire. À Hanoï, on creuse plus profondément les lacs existants et on les remblaye afin qu’ils puissent recueillir les eaux pluviales lors de forts orages. Le paysage des lacs […]

Le but du projet sera de documenter de façon empirique les effets du jeu Classcraft sur le climat de classe. Nous adhérons à l’idée que ce jeu puisse être intégré en classe en tant que TIC pour favoriser un climat de classe positif et une ambiance propice aux apprentissages, en raison des caractéristiques spécifiques de […]

Cities are the engines of creativity, wealth creation and economic growth in our society. Despite the increasing importance of cities in modern world, our ability to understand them scientifically and to manage them well in practice is limited. The greatest difficulties and challenges to any scientific approach to cities have resulted from their many interdependent […]

This proposed researched aims to examine online Knowledge Building Communities (KBC) for teacher professional development. KBC is a community, which is composed of a group of individuals working collaboratively to create collective knowledge rather than construction of a specific product or completion of a task. There is a commitment among the members of KBC to […]

In the past four years, the number of battery-powered rickshaws in New Delhi has grown from a few dozen to around 100,000. These vehicles have zero-emissions, play an important role in the urban transport system and provide employment opportunities for low-income groups. However, they are not covered by existing transport regulations and there is currently […]

Urban mobility results from human movements from one region to another for interaction such as working, trading goods and other social events. Urban mobility has caused not only urban prosperity, but also some problems in the urban system, such as congestion, air pollution, energy consumption, public health and disease transmission. Therefore, understanding urban mobility is […]

Cahn-Hilliard, appears in mathematical physics, describes the motion of two phase separating from each other. It has a wide range of applications in diverse fields such as material sciences, nanotechnology and semiconductor fabrication. There is a considerable research interest in studying the solution of the equation; however, the exact solution is hard to find. Therefore, […]

Despite the amazing level of shared neural machinery between humans and nonhuman primates, only humans appear to sense and react to musical rhythm. This ability spontaneously occurs very early in development, and has played a major role in human culture for millennia. The goal of this project is to advance our understanding of the neural […]

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is one of the least understood neurological injuries. Increasing evidence shows that the effects of mTBI are not transient and may be associated with significant long-term consequences on brain function and may lead to long-term changes in the functioning of the brain with impacts on many areas related to information […]

Maternal complications such as miscarriage or fetal loss are important reproductive issues that can affect up to 30% of pregnant women worldwide. While these complications are worldwide health problems, their mechanisms are not yet clear. Using a well-established mouse model of fetal loss, our goal is to detect localization patterns of important genes that may […]

The goal of this project is to study the Hitchin–Kobayashi correspondence which relates solutions of certain differential equations to certain geometric objects with algebraic structure. The differential equations of interest are related to those studied in particle physics. By viewing them from an algebraic perspective, we can often find properties of the space of solutions […]

There is a controversial relationship between the levels of democratization and violence. Although it is assumed that more democratic a country becomes less violence occurs, there are some counterarguments (Tezcur 2009). This project is an attempt to test the viability of whether democracy leads pacification. We will compare two time periods to evaluate the impacts […]
