Monitoring of training and performances in Quebec biathletes

To ensure optimal physical development and competitive performances, specific training parameters such as intensity and volume (i.e., the training load) should be appropriately manipulated during and across training phases. Athletes in biathlon perform large amount of physical training that can lead to excessive fatigue and ultimately hinder physiological adaptations. Monitoring fatigue is therefore paramount to […]

Coalescence Free Surfaces

Water injection in the industrial gas turbines is frequently used to improve the turbine performance during hot days. Injected water evaporates in the compressor section providing effective cooling leading to increased gas density and improved performance. Water injection technology poses several technological challenges. The injection system needs to be optimized to provide a uniform droplet […]

In vivo characterisation of a newly engineered D-serine biosensor with a micro-optrode

The brain’s 100 billion neurons communicate through the release of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators across small junctions (synapses). The last two decades have seen remarkable advances in understanding the role of such molecules in the nervous system. Amino acids such as D-serine, are now recognized as a vital neuromodulators for synaptic plasticity but also for their […]
