Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) is a versatile method to prepare nanoparticles of various morphology. Traditionally, nanoparticles are prepared via self-assembly of pre-formed polymers in H2O. Rigorous optimization is often required in these systems, involving iterative cycles of polymer synthesis, self-assembly, and evaluation of the self-assembled morphologies. PISA offers an elegant solution to the tedious procedures of conventional self-assembly by forming the particles in situ as the polymerization progresses.

Description: Researchers from the Centre for Educational Technology (CET), Oranim College of Education, and University of Ottawa's Faculty of Education discuss the why, what, and how to integrate S-T-E-A-M in teacher education programs and school curriculum with a focus on elementary school. This event is hosted by Olga Fellus, PhD, from the University of Ottawa, Yaniv Biton, PhD, Head of the Mathematics Department at CET, and Ruti Segal, PhD, Department Chair of the Master's program in Primary School Mathematics and Science at the Oranim College of Education.

Automated executions of chemical synthesis and discovery has risen as a critical enabling technology. New tools combining advanced robotics with experiment planning by machine learning, known as self-driving labs, are now attainable. However, the optimal deployment of these technologies remains under development, requiring a recursive design-make-build cycle dedicated to tuning and evolving the robotic platform.

L’Observatoire sur l’éducation en contexte linguistique minoritaire est une initiative dirigée par la professeure Nathalie Bélanger, de la Faculté de l'éducation, en collaboration avec le Collège des chaires de recherche sur le monde francophone de l'Université d'Ottawa. Le but de l’Observatoire est la mobilisation des connaissances et de faire connaître les recherches récentes afin que les praticiennes et praticiens se les approprient.

La recherche en droit, au-delà de la doctrine et de la jurisprudence, peut s’ancrer dans les pratiques du terrain et les besoins exprimés par différents milieux. Dans ces contextes, les collaborations interdisciplinaires apportent une grande richesse aux problématiques traitées, aux cadres d’analyse utilisés et aux méthodes employées, tout en posant certains défis. Cette conférence propose le récit d’une collaboration de recherche entre droit et médecine dont le point de départ est le suivant : comment améliorer le consentement aux soins en cours d’accouchement ?

Abstract

I will start by discussing the advantages of alkynes as high-energy carbon-rich precursors for extended polyaromatics, stereoelectronics of alkyne cyclizations, the two general patterns of oligoalkyne folding into an aromatic ribbon, and the use of supramolecular effects in the design of traceless directing groups for radical reactions.[1]
