Silicon photonics can be used to increase the versatility of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Ultra-dense wavelength division multiplexing (uDWDM) shrinks channel spacing between WDM channels to decrease guard bands and increase spectral efficiency. Microring modulators (MRMs) provide a simple solution for uDWDM transmitters - they require no multiplexer/demultiplexer. When used with comb lasers, MRMs provide extremely compact and low power solutions. The spectral efficiency is limited...
Thousands of new phages have recently been discovered thanks to viral metagenomics. These phages are extremely diverse and their genome sequences often do not resemble any known phages. To appreciate their ecological impact, it is important to determine their bacterial hosts. CRISPR spacers can be used to predict hosts of unknown phages, as spacers represent biological records of past phage-bacteria interactions. However, no guidelines have been established to standardize host prediction...
The ability to perceive speech in noise (SPiN) declines with age. Although the etiology of SPiN decline is not well understood, accumulating evidence suggests a role for the dorsal speech stream. While age-related decline within the dorsal speech stream would negatively affect SPiN performance, experience-induced neuroplastic changes within the dorsal speech stream could positively affect SPiN performance. Here, we investigated the relationship between SPiN performance and the structure of th...
L’apprentissage expérientiel est une approche qui vise à utiliser les notions apprises dans le cadre d’un cours et à les appliquer à des situations réelles. Cette approche est pertinente pour les formations professionnalisantes puisqu’elle permet le développement de savoirs professionnels. Dans le contexte de la pandémie de COVID-19, plusieurs universités choisissent de miser sur l’enseignement à distance. Cet article fait état d’une modalité d’apprentissage expérientiel dans le cadre d’...
