Pharmaceuticals are important to lead the healthy life in the current world. However, continuous and huge use of these pharmaceuticals led to constant release in the environment and in particular in water sources. And also, low absorption and metabolism of pharmaceuticals in humans and animals led to their continuous entry into the environment via feces […]

La performance acoustique et thermique qu’offre la chènevotte en vrac, ainsi que sa faible masse volumique en font un matériau très intéressant pour cette application, notamment en tant que matériau de ragréage et nivelage des planchers anciens. En termes de produit, la chènevotte possède notamment un coût qui rivalise nettement avec les autres matériaux granulaires […]

L’histoire et la dynamique des forêts en lien avec les incendies restent mal connues au Bas-Saint-Laurent. Les feux naturels sont relativement rares dans la région. Toutefois, l’omniprésence du peuplier faux-tremble semble étroitement associée à l’occurrence de feux récents, liés aux activités humaines. La FER de Macpès représente un terrain d’étude stratégique puisqu’une grande partie de […]

Recently, the near-surface temperature in the Arctic region has been increasing at a faster rate than the global average. Also, many studies show the distinct vertical profile of Arctic warming is determined by various driving mechanisms. Here, we will show how polar warming of different vertical structure affects the climate responses locally as well as […]

My main field of interest is environmental behavior, which deals with interrelations between physical environments and human behaviors regarding urban- and architectural safety planning. I am currently planning to conduct an experimental research on public safety issues (fire/escape, terror/crimes) in urban- and architectural environments utilizing Virtual Reality technologies, and although I have recently acquired fundamental […]

In order to overcome the drawbacks of the traditional approaches to steel structure damage detection and to improve reliability and safety of existing steel structures, this research proposes to develop an innovative autonomous SHM system that offers transformative enhancements over existing steel structure monitoring systems. This will involve: 1. Collecting Collecting image data from various […]

Recently, speleothems from various Korean limestone caves have received special attention as an invaluable paleoclimatic archive for both regional and global aspects. Although recent investigations show distinctive relationships between their stable isotope compositions and surface environmental conditions, the quantitative understanding on the relationship is needed for more accurate and precise reconstructions of past climatic factors […]

In this research, we construct an open evolving network model and study growing conditions of the model. We construct a simple network model that changes the structure and evolves according to time, and we examine the causes of macroscopic phenomena (e.g. earthquake and meteorological phenomenon, brain activity, etc.) through the characteristics of motif dynamics constituting […]

Cette recherche vise à analyser les impacts de l’implantation du projet de conservation Red River Innovation Center sur les modes de vie de la communauté locale, qui appartient majoritairement à la minorité ethnique Hani. Situé dans la province du Yunnan, dans le sud-ouest de la Chine, le projet de conservation vise à la fois le […]

The wild blueberry is an important crop in the Canadian Atlantic provinces with 140 million kg of fruit being produced in 2016 with a farm gate value of $155 million. However, gray mold disease caused by Botrytis cinerea can cause substantial damage with 20% crop losses being reported. This study seeks to the genes and […]

The industrial agri-food system is a major contributor to global environmental and social problems. One alternative with the potential to jointly address these issues is agroecology, defined as the application of ecological principles to the design of agricultural systems in a way that respects diverse local contexts. Yet farmers’ uptake of agroecological management practices has […]

This project will assess the value in measuring sustainability outcomes according to place-specific baselines rather than universal thresholds set by rating systems and frameworks. It seeks a stronger foundation for sustainable design that can acknowledge place-specific factors. Ultimately, this work will lead to the establishment of a decision-making protocol about sustainable design options and outcomes […]
