Le vieillissement de la population pose des défis majeurs. Le nombre croissant de cas de démence liée à l’âge souligne la nécessité de mieux comprendre le vieillissement pour prévenir le déclin cognitif. Ce projet propose d’utiliser la variabilité de la fréquence cardiaque (VFC) et la perspective temporelle comme indicateurs pour prévoir et influencer positivement le […]

This research is aimed at contributing to a larger research initiative, entitled “Rethinking the Foundations of Economics and Finance” that is principally being undertaken by Professor Robert F. Owen at the University of Toronto. The scientific context of the project lies within the intersection of economics, behavioral science, and complexity theory. It aims to integrate […]

This project will examine how the ways in which children perceive, experience, and relate to their neighbourhood environments have changed over three generations in Kunming, China. This project represents part of a larger study: the Negotiating Childhood Around the Pacific-Rim Project. The researchers will recruit intergenerational families to participate in the research together, with at […]

The electronic structure problem is the key for material and drug designs. Solving it accurately using quantum mechanical methods on regular classical computers leads to algorithms whose execution time grows exponentially with the system size (e.g., number of electrons and nuclei in molecules). Emerging technology of quantum computing recently provided a new hope to solve […]

Le projet de doctorat porte sur les liens entre illégalité et développement urbain aux Philippines. De manière à mener le terrain adéquatement aux Philippines (à l’hiver 2025), une session de recherche à Turin en Italie sera entreprise durant l’automne 2024. Cette session a pour but de me former aux sujets reliant illégalité et ville que […]

The project “Unveiling the Structure of Science: An Information-Theoretic Approach to Co-citation Analysis” aims to advance our understanding of the interconnected landscape of scientific research by applying principles of information theory to co-citation networks. By identifying significant intellectual linkages across disciplines, countries, and institutions, this research seeks to illuminate the underlying patterns and dynamics that […]

Teams in crisis management operate in uncertainty and time pressure conditions, which severely constrain team performance. Systems capable of detecting critical levels of cognitive functioning could help teams to adapt better to the situation they face by allowing an intelligent re-allocation of tasks across agents. Traditionally, adaptive systems are based on the operator behavioral response […]

Within museum collections, formalin fixed samples have long posed persistent challenges in acquiring viable nucleic acids for taxonomic and phylogenomic reconstructions. This proposal represents a vital first step in determining the presence or absence of formalin and its derivatives in the formalin fixed historic samples located at the Smithsonian Institution where the oldest can be […]

La science, la technologie et l’innovation (STI) n’ont jamais été aussi présentes à l’ordre du jour international. Dans un contexte post-COVID-19 dans lequel les relations entre les gouvernements, les décideurs politiques et la communauté scientifique ont changé, parmi les «?leçons apprises?» figure l’importance de développer des capacités productives de recherche et de développement. La science […]

Pour la communauté Jupaú, située au Brésil dans l’État de Rondônia, le recul de la frontière de l’Amazonie au profit d’acteurs allochtones locaux, nationaux ou internationaux est une réalité qui définit leur quotidien, aussi bien en termes de destruction environnementale qu’en termes de bris des relations qui y sont entretenues. Par la reprise du narratif […]

On January 25th 2019, Benoit Charbonneau and a team of volunteers attempted to construct a three-dimensional shadow of the omnitruncated dodecaplex, a four-dimensional geometric shape, built using Zometool pieces. Over the course of 14 hours, volunteers built and supported the prototype structure, which was ultimately disassembled as it could not support its own weight. Building […]

Water dynamics monitoring in agriculture plays a crucial role in optimizing resource use, maximizing crop productivity, and promoting environmental sustainability in agricultural systems. It provides valuable data for informed decision-making, helping farmers address challenges related to water management and climate variability. Canada’s RADARSAT Constellation Mission Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) continuously monitors the Canadian agriculture. This […]
