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 paradigm of Earth : traduction performative et science-fiction queer

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 ... -
A study on radiochemical errors in polymer gel dosimeters
Other titre : Une étude sur les erreurs radiochimique dans les dosimètres à gels de polymère(Université de Sherbrooke, 2012)À ce jour, les seul dosimètres purement tridimensionnels (3D) sont basés sur la détection d’une propriété physique résultant d’une série de réactions chimiques radio-induites dans un volume de gel ou de plastique. Les ... -
A study on telomere protection and telomerase-and-cap-independent mechanisms of telomere maintenance in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(Université de Sherbrooke, 2008)An SGA approach to discover cdc13-1ts supressors. Telomeres, the DNA-protein complexes at the end of eukaryotic chromosomes, are essential for chromosomal stability. In yeast, the telomeric single-strand binding protein ... -
