Ce projet étudie les eskers, qui sont des formations géologiques spéciales faites de sable et de gravier laissés par les anciens glaciers. Ces eskers stockent une eau potable propre et abritent des écosystèmes uniques. Cependant, les activités forestières peuvent modifier ces milieux et impacter les plantes et les animaux, surtout les petits insectes du sol […]

This research proposes a comprehensive techno-economic assessment of an innovative graphene oxide-based technology for CO2 capture, developed by the Computed Tomography Research Group (GIT) at the Industrial University of Santander (UIS). The study aims to evaluate the feasibility and impact of this technology through a comparative analysis between Colombia and Canada, focusing on its efficiency, […]

Canada’s education system is facing mounting challenges. Educators are reporting high levels of stress and burnout, largely due to administrative burdens that take time away from teaching. Simultaneously, students—particularly in STEM subjects—are struggling to keep pace in a system that often lacks the capacity to provide individualized support. These issues are especially pronounced in under-resourced […]

Au Québec, certains plans d’eau sont régulièrement ensemencés en poissons afin de répondre à des objectifs de conservation. Ces introductions de poissons ne sont toutefois pas sans conséquence. Elles modifient le réseau trophique aquatique par l’ajout de compétition et de prédation. Les impacts écologiques sont, eux, plus importants lorsque ces poissons sont introduits dans un […]

The upcoming research internship will explore hypothetical molecules derived from pyridine, which could be integrated in ligands for olefin polymerization and, potentially, depolymerization. Olefin polymerization is a catalytic process by which polyethylene and polypropylene are manufactured using catalysts incorporating unique ligand frameworks. This computational study aims to 1) determine the best ligand design for molecules […]

The proposed research aims to develop a novel and cost-effective method for producing carbon fibers using silane-grafted polyethylene (PE) as an alternative precursor. This approach integrates silane grafting, melt-spinning, stabilization, and carbonization processes to enhance the thermal stability and cross-linking of PE, making it suitable for carbon fiber production. By leveraging silane chemistry, the project […]

Ce projet de recherche cherche à comprendre comment les couples gèrent leurs désaccords lorsque leurs objectifs sont opposés. Par exemple, si une personne veut discuter d’un problème (objectif d’approche) tandis que l’autre préfère l’éviter (objectif d’évitement), cela peut créer des tensions. L’étude veut savoir si ces différences entraînent plus d’émotions négatives comme la frustration ou […]

When students use mobile devices in a classroom, teachers cannot easily know if students are actively engaged in group activities or if they are distracted. For example, a student may be observing the activities of others rather than contributing to group workspace. Even though students are in close proximity, they can be too focused on […]

The purpose of this project is to contribute to our understanding of the development of Yogacara (Jp. Hosso) thought in pre-modern Japan between Heian and Kamakura periods (794-1333). To do so, it examines the writings of the Hosso monk-scholar Jokei (1155-1213), a neglected yet important reformer who lived in an era marked by political instability […]
