Eamon de Valera et l'utilisation de l'histoire la mise en scène du passé au coeur de son discours entre 1932 et 1948
(Université de Sherbrooke, 2007)À travers ce mémoire, nous avons tenté de répondre à la question suivante: comment et pourquoi Eamon de Valera, le plus illustre représentant nationaliste irlandais au XXe siècle, a-t-il utilisé l'histoire dans de son ... -
Eau Québec, quel avenir pour l’or bleu?
(Université de Sherbrooke. Faculté de droit, 2012)Des centaines de personnes meurent tous les jours, faute d’accès à une eau potable. Or, la population québécoise, qui est choyée puisque le Québec possède 3 % des réserves mondiales d’eau douce renouvelable, commence à ... -
Ecocriticism and Science Fiction Theory: the Role of Environments and Representations of Post-Nature in Starfish, Maelstrom and Behemoth by Peter Watts and The Road by Cormac McCarthy
(Université de Sherbrooke, 2014)(Résumé) Ce mémoire propose une analyse des représentations de la nature et de l’environnement dans deux œuvres de science-fiction: la trilogie des Rifters—de l’auteur canadien Peter Watts—, qui comprend trois romans en ... -
Ecological immunology in a fluctuating environment: an integrative analysis of tree swallow nestling immune defense
(2013)Abstract : Evolutionary ecologists have long been interested by the link between different immune defenses and fitness. Given the importance of a proper immune defense for survival, it is important to understand how its ... -
Economic instruments for biodiversity conservation
(Université de Sherbrooke, 2007)Biodiversity loss has become a global concern. We now realise that biodiversity directly affects our well-being, providing various services (esthetical values, goods, fibres, spiritual, regulation of climate, of illnesses, ... -
Effect of different carbon black types on single-walled carbon nanotube production by induction thermal plasma
(Université de Sherbrooke, 2008)Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are important new class of technological materials that have numerous novel and useful properties. Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) have exceptional electrical, mechanical and chemical properties. ... -
Effect of geometric parameters on the behavior of bolted GFRP pultruded plates
(2016)Abstract : This paper presents the effect of geometric parameters on the behavior of bolted GFRP pultruded plates for civil engineering applications. After a literature review, results of an experimental analysis investigating ... -
Effect of geometrical parameters of aluminum-to-steel bolted connections
(2015)Abstract : Through experimental and numerical studies, this research work aims to provide directions on the optimal geometric configuration for single-lap and double-lap bolted connection between aluminum alloy 6061-T6 and ... -
Effect of glycerol hyperhydration before exercise in trained triathletes on endurance performance and cardiovascular and thermoregulatory responses
(Université de Sherbrooke, 2001)This experimental project determined the effect of glycerol hyperhydration in 4 trained male triathletes on endurance performance and cardiovascular and thermoregulatory responses. For this purpose, the subjects received, ... -
Effect of haptic guidance and error amplification robotic training interventions on the immediate improvement of timing among individuals that had a stroke
(Université de Sherbrooke, 2016)Abstract : Many individuals that had a stroke have motor impairments such as timing deficits that hinder their ability to complete daily activities like getting dressed. Robotic rehabilitation is an increasingly popular ... -
Effect of multiple ionization on the radiolysis of liquid water irradiated with heavy ions a theoretical study using Monte-Carlo simulations
(Université de Sherbrooke, 2007)Water makes up a predominant part of the milieu of living tissue, and, not surprisingly, plays a central role for understanding the interaction of ionizing radiation with biological systems. Most aqueous radiation chemistry ... -
Effect of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy on experimental pain : a double-blind, randomized study in healthy young adults
(2016)Abstract : Past studies have suggested that pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy can decrease pain. To date, however, it remains difficult to determine if the analgesic effect observed in patients are attributable ... -
Effect of various chemical admixtures and binder combinations of workability of high-performance, self-consolidating concrete used in repair
(Université de Sherbrooke, 2005)Abstract : It is well known that the winter in Quebec is particularly harsh and poses high demand on concrete performance, especially that used in infrastructure applications. Government agencies, in charge of repair and ... -
Effectiveness of a rehabilitation dog in fostering gait retraining for adults with a recent stroke: A multiple single-case study
(2010)Introduction: Gait retraining approaches and walking aids currently used for patients with recent stoke present limitations regarding their utilization in clinical and real life settings. A rehabilitation facility implemented ... -
Effects of an aerobic exercise program on driving performance in adults with cardiovascular disease
(2016)Abstract: Objective: Cardiovascular disease has been linked to decreases in driving performance and an increased crash risk. Regular exercise has been linked with improved driving performance among healthy adults. The aim ... -
Effects of caffeine and/or nasal CPAP treatment on laryngeal chemoreflexes in preterm lambs
(2013)Current knowledge suggests that laryngeal chemoreflexes (LCR) are involved in the occurrence of certain neonatal apneas/bradycardias, especially in the preterm newborn. While caffeine and/or nasal continuous positive airway ... -
Effects of categorization method, regression type, and variable distribution on the inflation of Type-I error rate when categorizing a confounding variable
(2015)Abstract: The loss of signal associated with categorizing a continuous variable is well known, and previous studies have demonstrated that this can lead to an inflation of Type-I error when the categorized variable is a ... -
Effects of DP and CRTH2 activation on osteoblast function
(Université de Sherbrooke, 2011)Modulation of PGs by inhibition or stimulation is a promising approach for the management of pain and inflammation in patients with rheumatic disease. Based on recent results from our laboratories as well as on the literature, ... -
Effects of isoproterenol, an adrenergic agonist, on resting skeletal muscle
(Université de Sherbrooke, 2009)Data in this study show the effects of isoproterenol (ISO), a [bêta]-adrenergic agonist, on the total calcium content of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), denoted [Ca[subscript T]][subscript SR]. Tetramethyl murexide (TMX), ... -
Effects of moderate hyperbilirubinemia on nutritive swallowing and swallowing-breathing coordination in preterm lambs
(2015)Background: Hyperbilirubinemia (HB) occurs in 90% of preterm newborns. HB induces acute neurological disorders (somnolence, abnormal tone, feeding difficulties, auditory dysfunction) and alterations in respiratory ...
