Department of Mechanical Engineering alumnus Kieran Humphries is featured, along with electrical engineer Diego Mascarella, in the May 2015 edition of 缅北强奸's French-language publication 缅北强奸 dans la ville. "Diego and Kieran are both young and bright 缅北强奸-trained research engineers," said Prof Benoit Boulet, who supervises their work on the e-drivetrain APC project, which engages industry partners such as Linamar, TM4, Infolytica and Purolator.
The brain is a privileged organ in the body. So vital to life, the brain is protected from alterations elsewhere in the body by a highly regulated gateway known as the blood-brain barrier, which allows only selected molecules to pass through.
Dancing the Argentine tango could have potential benefits for people at certain stages in the development of Parkinson鈥檚 disease (PD), according to findings in a new study by researchers at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital -The Neuro, 缅北强奸 and the Research Institute of the 缅北强奸 Health Centre.
Domestic violence takes many forms. The control of a woman鈥檚 reproductive choices by her partner is one of them. A major study published in PLOS One, led by 缅北强奸 PhD student Lauren Maxwell, showed that women who are abused by their partner or ex-partner are much less likely to use contraception; this exposes them to sexually transmitted diseases and leads to more frequent unintended pregnancies and abortions. These findings could influence how physicians provide contraceptive counselling.
笔谤辞蹿听Xinyu Liu is one of 10 缅北强奸 researchers to receive a听2015听NSERC听Strategic Project Grant. His proposal, entitled "Paper-based microfluidic devices intergrating inGaN/GaN semiconductor microtubes for ultrasensitive detection of disease markers," has been awarded听$394,300 to investigate听portable, ultrasensitive biosensors that can quickly detect disease markers.
The Great Lakes have been invaded by more non-native species than any other freshwater ecosystem in the world. In spite of increasing efforts to stem the tide of invasion threats, the lakes remain vulnerable, according to scientists from 缅北强奸 and colleagues in Canada and the United States.听
Current government-mandated nutrition labeling is ineffective in improving nutrition, but there is a better system available, according to a study by 缅北强奸 researchers published in the December issue of the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences.
A quiet time scheduled every afternoon could improve the health of newborns and mothers in maternity wards according to researchers at 缅北强奸.
Professor Jeffrey Bergthorson in the Department of Mechanical Engineering has been named the first Panda Faculty Scholar in Sustainable Engineering and Design at the Trottier Institute for Sustainability in Engineering and Design (TISED). Also recently appointed Associate Director of TISED, Prof Bergthorson began a 3-year term in both roles on January 1, 2015.
Research led by Prof Fran莽ois Barthelat in the Department of Mechanical Engineering earned a spot on听Quebec's list of top 10 scientific discoveries in 2014. Inspired by natural structures like seashells, Barthelat and his team developed a technique to strengthen glass. They were able to make glass 200 times more resistant to breakage by engraving micro-cracks in wavy configurations on its surface. The pattern of micro-cracks guided larger cracks and absorbed impact energy.
Take a look in your pantry: the miracle ingredient for fighting obesity may already be there. A simple potato extract may limit weight gain from a diet that is high in fat and refined carbohydrates, according to scientists at 缅北强奸.
In 2007, a treasure hunting company found a 19th Century shipwreck in the Atlantic, off the coast of Portugal. The company, Odyssey Marine Exploration, claimed property of the shipwreck and its cargo, some 600,000 silver and gold coins.
