Relation entre les leviers et la force chez des athlètes universitaires

L’objectif de cette recherché est de «mesurer l’influence de différents aspects de la composition corporelle et d’anthropométrie sur la force relative et absolue chez des athlètes universitaires américains.» L’hypothèse de ce projet de recherche est que l’incidence de plusieurs mesures de compositions corporelles et d’anthropométrie sur la performance sera dévoilée. Les sujets éligibles sont tous […]

Léger-Marie Deschamps; Réponse à la crise de l’ennui au XVIIIe siècle, en France

Léger-Marie Deschamps est un philosophe français du XVIIIe siècle ayant correspondu avec les plus grands philosophes de son temps : Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot, etc. Dans l’histoire des études menées sur cet homme, la majorité des commentateurs y ont vu un philosophe extrêmement rationaliste et intellectualiste, un philosophe affirmant que seule la vérité peut mener au […]

Helmet testing and impact modeling: an approach to better understand the problematic of concussion in short track speed skating

The sport of short track speed skating is an extremely fast paced sport, in which multiple skaters, reaching speeds upwards of 50 km/h, jockey for position on a narrow track. Although skaters wear protective equipment and helmets, concussions continue to plague the health of athletes. Currently, there are no statistics on the ratesand prevalence of […]

Guidance and Control of Hybrid Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with Thrust Vectoring Capabilities

Quadrotors are one of the most popular choices for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in situations where fast disturbance rejection, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capabilities, and maneuverability are required. However, the quadrotor is inherently underactuated, and as a result, it is impossible to independently control the orientation and position of the vehicle. One solution to […]

KickStarter

Social networks like maps with real-time traffic are good examples of streaming graphs. These streaming graphs are processed and analyzed to answer the queries in real time. Conventional iterative graph processing algorithms estimate the results by approximating the intermediate values. Upon receiving a query, the computation is performed on these intermediate values. This setting gives […]

Diluted mean field spin glass models

I want to master the modern mathematical theory of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick and related spin glass models. The field spin glass models originate in theoretical statistical physics. After learning current results, I plan to start working on some open problems, such as in the setting of the diluted Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model, which is not completely understood today. […]

La Barra, Colombia: Post-Disaster Relocation Planning

Many cities around the world and specifically Latin America are now being forced to relocate due to the effects of climate change. This is the case of La Barra, a small village located on Colombia’s Pacific coast. Due to its destruction by rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and increased erosion, the village is in […]

Microscope/Macrocosm: Early Modern Technology, Visualization and Nature

Undertaking this project through Mitacs Globalink will provide me with a rare opportunity for extended time with the expert scholars, specialized research institutions and archival material in England that will allow me to greatly enhance the research component of my dissertation while also forming important links to a community of international researchers. I will be […]

Biomechanical modelling of tissue stiffness following exposure to sub-concussive head trauma in collegiate athletes

In this project, we propose integrating well-known neuroimaging algorithms to model axonal integrity of the white matter over the course of a full season, in collegiate football players. Using these findings as a basis for further investigation, we intend to develop a novel imaging processing tool that will integrate information from different neuroimaging methods to […]

Activating Empty Storefronts Through Social Innovation

Vacant storefronts reflect the disinvestment and loss of retail activity that has accompanied suburbanization, while also creating impediments to revitalization. It is therefore important to consider alternative approaches, such as activating empty storefronts through social innovation. Social innovation focuses on public interest and social cohesion, rather than commercial success. In this research, we seek to […]
