Vulnérabilité des forêts et des activités forestières aux changements climatiques

Les feux de forêts naturels sont les perturbations majeures à la base de la dynamique végétale boréale. Les changements climatiques induiront une augmentation des régimes de perturbations. Les régimes de perturbations, la structure et la composition forestière pourraient se diriger vers une variabilité naturelle différente de celle connue précédemment. Ce projet de recherche vise à […]

Mitigating Hydrogen Production in the End Shield Cooling System of CANDU Reactors

Radiolysis of water produces hydrogen, oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, which can be deleterious to system components. The radiolytic production of these species can be mitigated through appropriate chemical dosing with small amounts of dissolved hydrogen or oxygen-scavenging chemicals such as hydrazine. Corrosion of carbon steel components in the End Shield Cooling system of a CANDU […]

Parallel intelligent multiple-run facility for optimal design of power systems

The research aims to develop a new computer algorithm for automating simulations of complex power systems when simulations are used for design. The new algorithm will be able to find multiple optimal solutions, which will give the designer the ability to scrutinize and select the most suited option. Additionally the algorithm will be parallel in […]

« Lieux de mémoire » et transmission aux générations futures : une perspective archéologique. Études de cas sur des sites autochtones et euro-canadiens au Québec

Ce projet s’intéresse aux « lieux de mémoire » au Québec. La transmission volontaire d’une mémoire et d’un héritage par les populations passées aux générations futures crée des sites archéologiques particuliers, dont les traces sont délibérément conçues pour traverser le temps. La découverte en 2023 d’une « capsule temporelle » dans le « monument Price […]
