The proposed research project is a theoretical study on the group silencing of Indigenous communities and advocacy groups in South Africa and Canada. The aim is to look into the historical and current systems, mechanisms, and some seemingly innocent acts that silence Indigenous groups and their advocacy groups and shed light on the significance of […]

This project aims to explore how changes in the cytoskeletal network influence nuclear morphology in plants, focusing on transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana that overexpress the nucleoporin Nup136

Cranes are essential equipment in construction sites lifting and moving heavy loads. Due to the large structure, accidents can lead to significant casualties and property damage. Studies shows crane accidents are due to human error and miscommunication, and identifying the person responsible is important for preventing future accidents. A large number of reports are generated […]

Cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada. Cancer patients suffer from the side effects (e.g., hair loss) of the chemotherapeutics, as they lack selectivity, killing both cancerous and non-cancerous cells. Thus, there is a need for more selective drugs. Cancer cells need sugar for fast growth, having high levels of glucose transporters to […]

L’objectif du projet est de reconstituer l’historique des feux à la Forêt d’enseignement et de recherche du Lac Duparquet (FERLD), dans la forêt boréale mixte de l’ouest du Québec, à partir des sédiments de deux lacs. Ces reconstitutions seront réalisées en identifiant et en mesurant les fragments de charbon de bois séquestrés dans les sédiments […]

Les vieilles forêts sont des écosystèmes fournissant de nombreux habitats associés à une biodiversité spécifique ainsi que des services écosystémiques essentiels aux sociétés humaines. Les coupes forestières à échelle industrielle causent toutefois une perte et une fragmentation des vieilles forêts, ce qui interroge sur la durabilité de ces pratiques. Développer de nouvelles approches de sylviculture […]

The proposal aligns with an ongoing project conducted by the Gilbrea Dementia SHARE group which investigates the impact of a nature-based support program for older adults with dementia and their caregivers. This study focuses on social health and well-being outcomes for individuals living with dementia. The proposed project aims to identify the socio-ecological factors influencing […]

This project will explore the role of traditional Filipino homes in preserving cultural stories and building community, focusing on how spaces like verandas and common areas support social interaction and storytelling, especially among women. By studying these architectural features, the project aims to highlight how Filipino culture is passed down through generations, with a particular […]

Mon projet est focalisé sur la recherche de nouveaux métabolites bioactifs provenant de sources naturelles, plus spécifiquement de champignons, en particulier ceux du Nord du Québec. Cette région a été particulièrement négligée pour la recherche de nouveaux produits naturels et nous pensons que les organismes qui s’y trouvent produisent des métabolites spécialisés uniques en raison […]

Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions posing significant physical and mental health harm to those affected. While anorexia nervosa (AN) – a condition characterized by food restriction resulting in low body weight is likely the best-known eating disorder, there are several other types of eating disorders, including atypical anorexia nervosa (AAN). However, eating disorder […]

This project re-examines the Commonwealth of Nations to consider the role of Commonwealth membership in the constitutional development of former colonies of the British Empire. Looking at Canada, the United Kingdom, and the Commonwealth Caribbean, this project situates these countries within the larger history of decolonization and national independence in the twentieth century. The methodology […]

This work suggests an innovative microfluidic approach for complex biological sample separation, emphasizing the need for methods that enhance efficiency while considering the delicate nature of such samples. This project aims to deploying a continuous, portable microfluidic sorter that can effectively process heterogeneous organoid samples, enhancing throughput and preserving sample integrity. The findings will contribute […]
