Dynamique de contamination des nanoplastiques dans les réseaux trophiques dans un contexte de stresseurs multiples

Les écosystèmes aquatiques englobent une biodiversité importante fournissant une multitude de fonctions et de services. Toutefois, ces écosystèmes subissent une pression sans précédent due à l’empreinte humaine. Parmi les menaces environnementales, les nanoplastiques, des particules de moins d’un micron, émergent comme une source de préoccupation environnementale. Ces particules sont ingérées par une variété d’organismes, du […]

Synthesis and characterization of antimony and bismuth substituted Polyoxometalates

Polyoxometalates (POMs) represent a class of inorganic compounds, which are cluster compounds that can be formally described as oxo-metal complexes. Prominent transition metals are molybdenum and tungsten from group 6 and vanadium, niobium and tantalum from group 5 of the periodic table. A popular research area in POM chemistry is the selective substitution of one […]

Incorporating the offspring sex into estimates of reproductive costs for women in pre-industrial Quebec

Chez les espèces à reproduction sexuée, les individus peuvent être divisés en deux catégories : les mâles d’un côté, les femelles de l’autre. Parmi les espèces où les mâles sont plus grands et lourds que les femelles, les besoins énergétiques masculins sont généralement plus élevés. Une telle différence peut apparaître très tôt dans le développement. […]

Ylid functionalization of carbon suboxide

This project deals with chemical reactions between carbon suboxide and strong carbon-based bases. Carbon suboxide is the bigger relative of carbon dioxide with two more carbon atoms between the outer oxygen atoms which makes it much more reactive. The reactivities of carbon monoxide to common organic molecules have been reported mid-to-end of last century. The […]
