La damnation de la mémoire dans les écrits historiques de Suétone

Suétone fut le biographe des Césars. Ses écrits historiques dressent un portrait personnel et unique de chacun des Julio-Claudiens et des empereurs qui leur succédèrent. Certains Julio-Claudiens, tel que Caligula et Néron, ont une réputation sulfureuse, en partie pour deux raisons. Les deux ont été frappés de la damnation de la mémoire (une action politique […]

Bio-Aggregate Based Construction Materials for Sustainable Farm Buildings

This research aims in utilizing agriculture wastes in production of sustainable eco-friendly construction materials for farms building. The mechanical and durability performance of the proposed eco-friendly construction material exposed to the aggressive agriculture environment will be evaluated. The research will investigate the effects of different factors mainly related to physical properties of used wastes and […]

Highly selective hydrogenation Rh-MxOy catalysts using Rh@M core-shell nanoparticle precursors

Catalytic selective hydrogenation is a method that can be used in reaction chemistry to selectively increase the amount of desired product that is formed after a reaction. This ultimately increases the efficiency of a reaction and decreases operation costs, providing significant theoretical and industrial value. However, within catalytic selective hydrogenation, research regarding oxides-modified noble metal […]

Amélioration de la digestibilité des fourrages et diminution de la production de méthane chez les ruminants par l’optimisation de l’efficacité des protozoaires du rumen

Les camélidés partagent certaines caractéristiques anatomiques et physiologiques avec les ruminants. Bien que les camélidés aient une particularité microbienne telle que la présence d’un type de protozoaire spécifique à eux ‘’type B’’ et un genre spécifique nommé Butchlia permettant une meilleure digestibilité des fourrages par rapport aux protozoaires ‘’type A’’ chez les ruminants, on dispose […]

Potentiel pesticide des liquides pyrolytiques

Le monde agricole québécois est à la recherche d’alternatives écologiques aux produits phytosanitaires conventionnels dont l’utilisation massive provoque des effets négatifs sur l’environnement et la santé humaine. Dans cette optique-là, le projet Mitacs propose d’étudier le potentiel antifongique et herbicide de liquides produits par pyrolyse de biomasse lignocellulosique. La pyrolyse est un procédé qui décompose […]

Reciprocal invasion potential of North American and European spruce bark beetles

The goal of our research project is to estimate the risks of the North American spruce beetle and European spruce bark beetles becoming invasive in their counterpart’s range. These species can be accidentally spread through global trade and can cause considerable mortality of their host spruce. To estimate invasion risk, we aim to predict the […]

Learning Generative Models of Images and Patterns

This Project is an continuation of our SIGGRAPH Asia 2017 paper on “Learning to Group Graphical Patterns”. The paper introduced a novel deep learning approach for grouping discrete patterns common in graphical designs. The approach was based on a convolutional neural network architecture that learns a grouping measure defined over a pair of pattern elements. […]

Complete classification of Littlewood cyclotomic polynomials

The objective of this proposal is to study Littlewood cyclotomic polynomials of odd degree. In algebra, the cyclotomic polynomial is one such that has all its roots on the unit circle. Since all the coefficients of Littlewood polynomials are -1 or +1, its associates a finite binary sequence with -1 or +1 entries. Therefore, their […]
