This project will explore the dialect of China English at Southwest University in Chongqing, China. The research will attempt to connect the study of China English to the purpose of offering a more inclusive and comprehensive education for English language learning students in Canadian schools. The project will involve an observation of China English as […]

The main objective of my research project is to compare the Canadian Geography curriculum with the Geography curriculum in China within grades 7 and 8. Over the course of 3 months I will be able to analyze the major topics covered by the Chinese geography teachers, explore the resources available to students and analyze how […]

La vie en Arctique est contrainte par la photopériode et le spectre de la lumière solaire. Le spectre auquel les microalgues diatomées sont exposées dans l’eau est similaire à celui de l’œil humain. Les diatomées et les humains possèdent des horloges biologiques permettant de synchroniser la physiologie à l’environnement. Elles sont régulées par des photorécepteurs […]

La tomodensitométrie biénergie est nouvellement utilisée en radiothérapie. Ses informations complémentaires sont utiles pour améliorer la précision avec laquelle les tissus sont caractérisés dans les géométries des patients. La curiethérapie consiste à utiliser une ou plusieurs sources radioactives pour irradier des tissus malsains pouvant menacer la santé des patients. Pour localiser précisément les sources et […]

Face au changement climatique, les espèces doivent s’adapter à de nouvelles conditions environnementales. Le mécanisme majeur qui permet aux espèces de s’adapter à ce changement rapide est un mécanisme appelé “plasticité phénotypique”. La plasticité phénotypique est le mécanisme par lequel un code génétique produit des caractéristiques biologique différentes chez les organismes en fonction des conditions […]

The business management literature defines an innovative startup as a “human institution, which delivers a new product-service in conditions of extreme uncertainty”. For its part, the design engineering literature proposes methods to experiment the prototype of a new product-service before its launch on the market, but without systematically analyzing its business implications. Thus, few research […]

Over the last few years, the data revolution occurred with the emergence of “Big data”. In medical field, the term big data refers to large databases in terms of patients and/or information from varied sources. Nevertheless, heterogeneity is encountered in this kind of data. Indeed, data arise from different medical centers. Furthermore, we can’t perform […]

With the increase demand of 3D models in urban environment, automatic indoor modeling has attracted more attention for human trajectory identification, facility management and indoor navigation. To reconstruct indoor models quickly and reliably, this project will propose a new indoor reconstruction method to automatically generate indoor semantic building models through building ground maps and images […]

The objective of this study is to uncover the relationship between cognitive deterioration and language performance in populations with dementia. The method used for this protocol does not require that words and grammar be taken into consideration but rather investigates coherence of discourse, which has the potential to be applied to studies of languages other […]

Dans les sports impliquant l’utilisation du membre supérieur au-dessus de la tête, comme le tennis, les blessures à l’épaule sont fréquentes. Un des facteurs de risque de ces blessures est la faiblesse des muscles stabilisateurs de l’omoplate, en particulier le trapèze inférieur. Au cours des gestes sportifs, la faiblesse de ce muscle pourrait modifier les […]

In this project, we aim to apply the Time-Reversal (TR) principle to locate sound sources in a reverberant environment using a small hemispherical microphone array. Previously, sound source localization has been demonstrated using TR and a hemispherical array where all sources were located inside the hemisphere – however, the feasibility of using a smaller hemispherical […]

Current UV technology used to disinfect drinking water and wastewater is energy intensive, hazardous, and bulky; and the advent of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit in the ultraviolet (UV) range provides a unique opportunity to rethink how we design and implement disinfection technology. The overall objective of this project is to investigate the how […]
