The objective of this internship is to develop a multidisciplinary collaboration to better understand the complex factors that influence industry adoption of fault detection and diagnostic (FDD) tools for commercial buildings. More specifically I will focus on how interface design influences usability and perceived usefulness, and how information from FDD tools ultimately lead to fault […]

The proposed doctoral research aims to use Igbo Hometown Associations in Nigeria as a context to explore identity-based associational groups that operate locally but with ties to transnational migration dynamics and their diaspora. Specifically, it will examine how these ties enable their acting as non-state governance actors that self-organize to provide public goods, despite weakness […]

Heart-rate variability (HRV) may be used to index important aspects of brain control of the heart during emotional regulation. Yoga may enhance athletic performance, in part, by facilitating emotional regulation. Lululemon Athletica is interested in developing biofeedback devices designed to further enhance yoga related emotional regulation and for use to educate both their in-store work-force […]

Ce projet s’inscrit dans la rédaction du mémoire travail de fin d’études de Effie DAUM menant à l’obtention de son diplôme d’ingénieur à l’Ecole Supérieure des Géomètres et Topographes. Et aura pour objectif la publication d’un article apportant des connaissances nouvelles de géomatique dans le domaine de la robotique pour la conférence IEEE International Conference […]

The objective of this research program is the development of new green synthetic methods with emphasis on metal-free procedures for the simple preparation of biologically and commercially important molecules. In particular, fluorinated sp3-enriched Nitrogen-containing compounds will be prepared by radical reactions of redox-active esters (i.e., N-hydroxyphthalimide, N-hydroxy-2-thiopyridone, etc.) derived from fluorinated alicyclic carboxylic acids with […]

Crystal shape and size are among the most important features of crystalline product that are prevalent in the pharmaceutical industry. Extremely fine and needle-like crystals pose various problems in the downstream processes including filtration, tableting, handling, and storage. Rufinamide is an anticonvulsant medication, and its most stable and therapeutically advantageous crystalline form shows notoriously undesirable […]

The volume of data being transmitted (streaming, blockchain, machine learning, etc.) continues to increase exponentially. To carry this data, the traditional metallic transmission systems (typically copper) are being replaced with light-based (photonic) medium to reduce both the space and power consumption. This implies integrating photonic/optical components within the microelectronics infrastructure for electrical to optical conversion […]

Chronic pain is a major public health problem affecting at least 10 percent of the worldwide population. Pain and its impacts also affect disproportionately women, people living in poverty, indigenous people, racialized people, LGBTQIA2S+ communities and people who have experienced trauma, among others, resulting in social health inequalities. Despite the attention given to racism and […]

At present, networks for the studying of fashion exist globally in Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States, among others. Canada, too, is home to some of these collaborative sites, for example the Canadian Fashion Scholars and the Canadian Arts & Fashion Awards. Many of these networks have flourished through the publishing of an […]

Les ordinateurs quantiques promettent de réaliser des calculs et des simulations en manipulant l’état quantique de particules. Ainsi, le développement de cette technologie demande de concevoir des systèmes pouvant réaliser ces manipulations. Dans les dernières années, plusieurs modèles ont été proposés pour permettre le déplacement d’états quantiques. D’autres ont aussi été proposés afin de créer […]

The main goal of this project is to target a missing niche for tidal energy distribution. There is a growing interest in utilizing tidal currents for power generation, which has led to extensive research on this source of renewable energy. Among all the different ways to collect kinetic energy from ocean tides, the tidal turbine […]
