The intern in this study will review relevant literature and interview employees of a skateboard architecture and design company to better understand how the company can improve their data collection process. To date, skateboard architecture and design companies have mainly used number-driven methods to explore potential skateboard locations, these methods include statistical surveys, reports and […]

The one-to-Zero (OTZ) Tension Adjustment is a chiropractic technique which corrects articular dysfunction of the articulation between the skull and the top vertebrae of the neck, also called the atlas. The goal of this study is to determine whether correcting dysfunction using OTZ affects brain processes and overall health and well-being. Participants will complete questionnaires […]

Representation theory of algebras is an active area of research with numerous contributions to different areas of pure mathematics and theoretical physics. This is because it often represents very technical and complicated concepts in terms of concrete oriented graphs that are equipped with some additional data. In this area, as any other mathematical concept, the […]

Ring-billed gulls (Larus delawarensis) living in the metropolitan area of Montreal (QC, Canada) have been documented to be highly exposed to a class of industrial and potentially toxic contaminants, the halogenated flame retardants (HFRs), that might also negatively affect humans. Interestingly, those gulls showed intraspecific variations in tissular concentrations in HFRs, related to their foraging […]

My research project will involve completing vital preparation work for two upcoming high impact experiments at a world leading research facility. I will take a lead role in preparing analysis software and equipment for these upcoming experiments at Jefferson Lab which will run towards the end of my project. I will ensure these experiments run […]

Intimate partner violence (IPV), also known as spousal assault and domestic violence, is the most common form of violence experienced by women worldwide. Fortunately, IPV risk assessment tools, training, and practices have improved immensely over the last 20 years. One of the areas that can still be improved is training those using violence risk assessments […]

Le projet de recherche entrepris à l’Université de Leipzig servira à identifier des feuilletons, courts textes de la presse écrite des années 1920-1930 en Europe centrale, traitant de procès. Ces textes connaissaient un vif succès à cette époque particulièrement dû à l’effervescence des quotidiens mais aussi dû à la méthode d’écriture propre à ce genre. […]

This project seeks to understand the role different European Union (EU) institutions play in the global competition for highly-skilled migrant professionals. While EU member states still retain sovereignty over the long-term admission of third country nationals, the EU Commission, Council and Parliament have started to propose and push policy initiatives related to high-skilled migration. Triggered […]

La fatigue représente le symptôme le plus fréquemment rapporté par les patients atteints de la sclérose en plaques (SP). Cette fatigue liée à la SP s’avère limitante pour les tâches du quotidien. Jusqu’à maintenant, peu d’études ont mesuré la fatigue neuromusculaire à la suite d’un exercice fatigant exigeant de larges masses musculaires comme celles exigées […]

Numerical simulation is a cornerstone of modern science and industry, and is used in many facets of our everyday lives. While many of us are familiar with short-term weather forecasting, substantially more computational effort is dedicated to longer-term simulations of the Earth’s ocean and atmosphere, for climate and other reasons. In such simulations, certain properties […]

Microplastics (Mps) are usually defined as plastic particles

There is little known about the extent to which native bees can incorporate non-native plants into their diets, and the costs or benefits associated with their use. Many wild bees are dietary specialists, collecting pollen exclusively from certain plant families, and many specialists prefer pollen from the daisy (Asteraceae) family. In our high-elevation study system […]
