Marine fisheries are complex, multifaceted endeavors that are deeply interconnected with both the ecological and social systems within which they operate. To manage a given fishery resource effectively, practitioners have account in the past years for ecological interactions with other marine species and socio-economic interactions with commercial and subsistence harvesters. However, even fisheries management systems […]

The American Black Duck is the most abundant breeding waterfowl species in New Brunswick (NB), and, although previously common throughout New Brunswick (NB), notable declines in breeding black duck abundance have been reported in the commercially forested area of NB in the last 20 years. In NB, forestry operations must maintain >=30m buffers around waterbodies. […]

Since most capsules are made of gelatin, the aqueous coating process of capsules is very sensitive and requires a very long process time due to the aqueous solubility of gelatin substrate, resulting in high costs. Accordingly, it would be very advantageous to provide a method for dry powder coating capsules without using an organic solvent […]

Bacterial contamination of fresh waters is a concern for the Great Lakes region. Contamination can be prevalent due to direct faecal deposits, as well as environmental conditions, such as sand, serving as a reservoir. One of the major contributors to bacterial persistence in the environment is the formation of multicellular biofilms. RpoS, a general stress […]

L’immunothérapie est un traitement prometteur pour soigner le cancer et les infections virales. Ce traitement consiste à éduquer des cellules du système immunitaire, les lymphocytes T, pour qu’ils puissent éliminer les cellules problématiques du patient. Une des grandes difficultés est de fournir de l’aide spécialisée aux lymphocytes T pour faire leur travail. Cette aide vient […]

La production de bovins de boucherie représente la quatrième production animale en importance au Québec avec un volume de plus de 710 000 animaux commercialisés annuellement amenant des revenus à la ferme de 1 milliard de dollars. Le programme d’analyse des troupeaux de boucherie du Québec a pour but de récolter des données de performance […]

Agricultural practises in the North American prairies have intensified in the last several decades to increase food production, resulting in the drainage of up to 70% of prairie wetlands in some areas. Not surprisingly agricultural intensification is associated with the loss of biodiversity. Our research aims to assess whether retaining wetlands in agro-ecosystems can mitigate […]
