Droplet-containing plasma discharges (so-called “misty plasmas”) provide an exciting new route to the deposition of technologically important nano-structured and nano-composite thin films. These films have many potential applications in important technology sectors. The aim of this project is to study the plasma response to the injection of nanoparticle-containing microdroplets, and to correlate the evolution of […]

Le programme Mitacs Globalink est pour moi une remarquable opportunité de travailler avec un chercheur spécialiste dans de nombreux domaines des mathématiques. En effet, dans le travail que je mène actuellement en thèse, j’ai été conduit à arpenter diverses spécialités des mathématiques. Pour obtenir des résultats plus généraux que ceux que je suis en train […]

This study compares Taiwanese and Canadian teachers’ perspectives on teaching the history and nature of science (NOS). We aim to understand how cultural, societal, and educational factors influence these decisions. Understanding NOS is crucial for developing scientifically literate citizens. For this goal, we conducted a comparative analysis of science teachers’ beliefs and practices in Taiwan […]

Cereal grains are essential to human diets, providing vital nutrients and serving as key sources of carbohydrates and protein. With climate change posing challenges, identifying adaptable crops is crucial for global food security. Barley and sorghum stand out due to their resilience and nutritional benefits. They contain various phytochemicals, notably phenolic compounds, which offer health-promoting […]

Major depressive disorder (MDD) affects 20% of the population, with females twice as likely to develop it. Cognitive symptoms like negative cognitive bias (NCB) are resistant to treatment and understudied. Pilot data suggest sex differences in hippocampal activation and functional connectivity between brain regions in NCB. This is significant, as altered brain connectivity affects therapeutic […]

Le lancement d’une alerte se définit comme la dénonciation d’un acte illégal, immoral ou illégitime, se produisant au sein d’une organisation, afin que des mesures soient prises pour résoudre le fait dénoncé. Cependant, la dénonciation de faits répréhensibles se complique dans des contextes d’institutions clientélistes et de cooptation de la société civile, comme en Amérique […]

Le séjour de recherche de Mme Megan Collins visera, dans un premier temps, à cerner les impacts liés à la prise de drogues stimulantes chez les travailleurs de la construction et les actions déployées par les syndicats du secteur au chapitre de la prévention de cette même problématique. Dans un deuxième temps, ce stage cherchera […]

Our commitment to customer satisfaction drives us to continually improve our services and operations, our vision is to streamline payment […]

The project focuses on developing machine learning (ML) techniques to improve quantum tomography and control, specifically addressing scalability issues in large quantum systems. By collaborating with experts in photonics and quantum machine learning from both the University of Ottawa and the University of Rostock, the project aims to create more efficient quantum state reconstruction methods, […]

Le projet s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un projet Franco-Québécois soutenu par les Fonds France Canada pour la Recherche de l’ambassade de France au Canada. Ce projet de recherche vise à explorer des solutions innovantes pour la gestion de la sarcopénie (déclin musculaire) chez les personnes âgées. L’objectif principal est de tester, pour la première fois, […]

A Ph.D. student will be trained in an interdisciplinary area of algal functional genomics and molecular plant physiology. Combining these two areas in this project will solve two major issues. (1) Currently, there is a limitation in the study of brown algal functional genomics; brown algae, including Ectocarpus, are not yet amenable for genetic transformation, […]

Learning a motor task is dependent on many cortical regions. As a skill is learned, changes take place within the circuitry of the brain to optimize efficiency of the movement execution. Following stroke, motor deficits in the upper extremity are common, emphasizing the need for intact skill learning to reacquire motor function. Advancements in rehabilitation […]
