In Martian history, asteroids have continuously collided with Mars. The catastrophic activity (impact) can produce high pressure, and finally affected properties of minerals in meteorites, which means the minerals were shocked. The force of impact for ejecting Martian meteorites can be 60 GPa, about 600,000 times of the atmosphere pressure on Earth surface. When the […]

Artificial Neural Networks are powerful tools used in the field of artificial intelligence. Inspired by the human brain, they have shown very good results in certain tasks, such as image classification and even in the generation of new images. The problem with neural networks is that we do not understand why they are working so […]

Currently, self-employment is one of the non-standard and precarious work relationships internationally. Unlike regular employees in Canada, self-employed workers can expect little from the state in terms of social securities. While some self-employers may feel financially secure without supports from the state, this reality does not reflect the experiences of all self-employed workers. Despite the […]

Ionic liquids are organic-cation salts that feature the property of being liquid at lower temperatures than their inorganic counterparts. This peculiar characteristic added to their versatility and recoverability make those compounds excellent candidates for many applications such as a replacement for conventional toxic and hardly recyclable organic solvents, among others. However, their high viscosity is […]

Approaching this project from an international perspective, I plan to use cross-disciplinary methods to explore Buddhism’s influence on the birth, evolution and gradual recession of female rule in East Asia, with a comparative study of several Chinese and Japanese empresses as the focus. My approach will be interdisciplinary and multimedia, subjecting a plethora of relevant […]

(Re)development of public spaces in order to improve liveability may contribute to undesirable neighbourhood change including gentrification or excessive tourism. The creation of new green spaces – sorely needed in many neighbourhoods – may also be accelerating gentrification processes. Young families and children are residents that are highly affected by neighbourhood change, but understudied. This […]

This project will investigate the impact of foreign accent on native listener’s semantic processing in Spanish. As such, participants will listen to Spanish words that are produced by native Spanish speakers or native Chinese speakers. Stimuli will include commonly mispronounced words in Spanish (e.g. pelo, ‘hair’) and words that are non-commonly mispronounced in Spanish (e.g. […]

The purpose of this project is to conduct a document review of select philanthropic foundations to investigate the policies and practices used by foundations to address DEI. The intern will also lead knowledge generation and knowledge mobilizations activities in the form of issue briefs and learning sessions to engage foundation staff and board members to […]

Galactic Magnetic Fields (GMF) have always been an intriguing topic to astronomers: they play a big role in star formations, Galactic structures, interstellar medium (ISM) distribution, etc. Therefore, understanding these structures becomes a crucial part to unravel the mystery of our Galaxy. A main signature of magnetic fields is that they can rotate polarized light […]

Le projet de recherche réalisé a pour but d’étudier la dynamique temporelle du réseau action-observation chez l’enfant hémiplégique. Pour ce faire, 20 enfants âgés de 3 à 12 ans atteints de paralysie cérébrale hémiplégique ou d’hémiplégie acquise dans un contexte de tumeur cérébrale ou d’accident vasculaire cérébral seront étudiés par électro-encéphalogramme haute densité dans 4 […]

Social media and other real-time messaging applications represent valuable sources of real-time information that remain untapped by many service operators. The project is aimed at developing methodology for detecting suspicious and/or abnormal real-time events from textual live data feeds, based on predictive and/or anomaly detection algorithms applied to time series and text features. TRT Canada […]

La rhino-sinusite chronique (RSC) est une inflammation chronique de la muqueuse nasale et sinusale laquelle est l’un des troubles chroniques les plus courants en Amérique du Nord. Deux symptômes communs sont observés chez les patients atteints de RSC, soit une obstruction nasale et une réduction de l’odorat nommée hyposmie. En plus d’une réduction du système […]
