A multilevel intervention to increase physical activity and improve healthy eating and physical literacy among young children (ages 3-5) attending early childcare centres: the Healthy Start-Départ Santé cluster randomised controlled trial study protocol
(2016)Abstract: Background: Childhood obesity is a growing concern for public health. Given a majority of children in many countries spend approximately 30 h per week in early childcare centers, this environment represents a ... -
A non linear analysis for clean and noisy speech
(1991)Abstract: The research in speech analysis is recognized to be an important aspect in the area of speech processing, with applications in speech coding, speech recognition, etc. Depending on the application, the speech ... -
A non-exponential communication network statistical study
(Université de Sherbrooke, 1973)In large data communication network applications, message switching concentration technique is known to be the most advantageous among various line-sharing schemes. Existing network model for analysis and synthesis of such ... -
A novel fuzzy digital image correlation algorithm for non-contact measurement of the strain during tensile tests
Other titre : Développement et validation d'un algorithme de corrélation d'images numériques utilisant la logique floue pour mesurer la déformation pendant les tests de traction(Université de Sherbrooke, 2016)Cette thèse a pour objet la mesure de déformations sans contact lors d'un essai de traction à l'aide de la méthode de corrélation d'images numériques DIC (Digital Image Correlation). Cette technologie utilise le repérage ... -
A novel measure of physiological condition based on multivariate distance predicts maximal thermogenic capacity and inflammation in a migratory shorebird
Other titre : A novel integrative method for measuring body condition in ecological studies based on physiological dysregulation(2014)Abstract: The body condition of free-ranging animals affects their ability to fulfil their vital needs, their response to stress, their decisions, and ultimately their fitness, with important evolutionary consequences. It ... -
A novel statistical approach shows evidence for multi-system physiological dysregulation during aging
Other titre : A novel measurement approach and evidence for multi-system physiological dysregulation during aging(2013)Abstract: Previous studies have identified many biomarkers that are associated with aging and related outcomes, but the relevance of these markers for underlying processes and their relationship to hypothesized systemic ... -
A numerical method for the CREEP analysis of thin cylindrical shells
(Université de Sherbrooke, 1974)The objective of this thesis is to present the governing equations for the creep analysis of thin cylindrical shells. A numerical model for steady-state creep conditions is presented using von Mises' criterion and the power ... -
A numerical model for turbulent boundary layer excitation to predict interior noise in automobile
Other titre : Un modèle numérique de l’excitation couche limite turbulente pour prédire le bruit à l’intérieur d’une automobile(Université de Sherbrooke, 2018)Abstract: The main objective is to develop a Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) based numerical approach to model the turbulent boundary layer (TBL) excitation and later predict the interior noise. In this regard, two ... -
A paradigm of Earth : traduction performative et science-fiction queer
(Université de Sherbrooke, 2017)L’utopie constitue l’un des genres de prédilection de la littérature féministe et queer, parce qu’elle permet de redéfinir certaines catégories, comme celle des représentations de sexe et de genre. La science-fiction, ... -
A parallel supercomputer implementation of a biological inspired neural network and its use for pattern recognition
(2012)Abstract : A parallel implementation of a large spiking neural network is proposed and evaluated. The neural network implements the binding by synchrony process using the Oscillatory Dynamic Link Matcher (ODLM). Scalability, ... -
A restricted image of man
(Université de Sherbrooke, 1983)Résumé : Conçue traditionnellement comme une science positive, la géographie se veut maintenant plus critique et plus réfléchie. La présente étude se penche sur ce changement de conception. Depuis Descartes la logique de ... -
A review of the Reflective Narratives of Students enrolled in a Diploma Nursing Program: a descriptive study.
Other titre : Un examen des récits de réflexions d'étudiants inscrits dans un programme pour diplôme en soins infirmiers: une étude.(Université de Sherbrooke, 2013)This research study with an emphasis on reflection, focused on identifying and describing thoughts and ideas that students in a three-year diploma nursing program have about clinical practice issues. The study describes ... -
A rose in sawdust : the theme of engagement in the novels of Morley Callaghan and Robert Charbonneau and other Canadian writers
(Université de Sherbrooke, 1971)This thesis is principally a study of one theme - engagement - in sixteen Canadian novels of the Twentieth Century. Eight contemporary novelists are represented, four of whom have written in French and four in English. Two ... -
A semiparametric IV estimation of the government debt/GDP-growth relationship for OECD countries.
(Université de Sherbrooke, 2015)Abstract : In this study, we use an up-to-date econometric method, namely the semiparametric IV estimator, to investigate the functional form of the government debt/GDP-growth relationship for OECD countries. The relationship, ... -
A silicone nanocrystal tunnel field effect transistor
(2014)Abstract : In this work, we demonstrate a silicon nanocrystal Field Effect Transistor (ncFET). Its operation is similar to that of a Tunnelling Field Effect Transistor (TFET) with two barriers in series. The tunnelling ... -
A study of the factors suspected to influence the grilse ratio of Atlantic salmon (salmo salar linnaeus)
(Université de Sherbrooke, 1969)The fact that some salmon spend only one year and a little more feeding in the sea before returning to their home river has been clearly demonstrated through scale reading and tagging experiments. These fish are called ... -
