Feasibility study to determine the applicability of using reclaimed and remanufactured lumber in mass timber (CLT)

Finger-jointed lumber made from reclaimed and recycled lumber cut-offs/waste will be manufactured and used to produce mass timber panels (i.e., cross-laminated timber (CLT)). The mechanical properties of these panels will then be measured. The project therefore consists of two phases. The first one will focus on assessing the mechanical properties of the finger-jointed lumber made […]

Modélisation numérique de l’écoulement diphasique au sein d’une turbine hydroélectrique aérante

La simulation numérique d’écoulements diphasiques air-eau au sein de turbines hydroélectriques aérantes sera effectuée. Le premier objectif est de déterminer la distribution de taux de vide dans l’aspirateur afin de qualifier ultérieurement le taux d’oxygénation de l’eau turbinée. Le deuxième objectif est de déterminer le rendement de la turbine après ajout de dispositifs aérants. Les […]

Deploying GABA metabolism to boost plant immunity to phytopathogens: From fundamental research to practical application

?-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a non-protein amino acid that has recently been discovered to play an important role in plant-pathogen interactions. In this proposal, we will comprehensively investigate the potential of GABA metabolism to boost plant immunity against fungal and bacterial pathogens using tomato and Arabidopsis as model plant systems. The effectiveness of exogenous applications […]
