The proposed research investigates the presence of sub-surface soil hardpans is one of the impacting factors. These are dense subsoil layers impervious to water and leading to soil structure degradation as well as a reduction in yield of most crops as they restrict plant available water. The project objective is to relate apparent soil electrical […]

Ce projet consiste à produire un guide méthodologique et conceptuel pour le compte d’une organisation oeuvrant notamment dans la mise en place de projets collaboratifs en mobilité durable (Coop Carbone – filière Mobilité durable et innovations sociales) et qui est impliquée dans des projets inter-organisationnels, dont certains portent sur la construction de programmes de mobilité […]

Infrasonic signatures are long wave acoustic signals in the under 20Hz range (below human hearing). The partner organization has been experimenting with infrasonic sensors to achieve 2 key outcomes: a) detection clear air turbulence to benefit commercial air travel and b) detection of ‘dark vessel’ marine traffic, i.e., illegal fishing. The ability to detect clear […]

Adults often struggle to learn new languages since their brains are not as plastic as those of children. The vagus nerve is the longest nerve in the human body, and its activity affects a variety of brain areas involved in attention, memory, and perception. By non-invasively stimulating the vagus nerve during language training, it may […]
