New Canadian and American standards for concrete and bridges now provides guidelines for the design, production, curing, material characterization and installation of Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concretes (named UHPFRC or UHPC) on structures. However, some technical aspects require more research since fundamental knowledge about UHPC is...

L’hétéromorphisme des graines peut influencer la germination et ultimement l’établissement des semis, particulièrement dans des habitats perturbés. Cette étude a comparé les caractéristiques des graines et des semis de trois types morphologiques (morphes) de graines se distinguant les uns des autres par leur couleur (soit brun clair, brun et brun f...

Undervaluing the stakeholders’ attributes, salience, and potential to impact project results in stakeholders’ dissatisfaction, distrust and opposition. The existing stakeholders’ management typologies due to their inherent limitations are unable to offer an optimal and comprehensive solution. The present study proposes a framework to improve the st...

La répartition et le partage appropriés des risques sont des facteurs de réussite essentiels pour les projets de partenariat public-privé, mais les données indiquent que de mauvaises pratiques de répartition des risques prévalent. Cela signifie qu’il faut élaborer un modèle solide pour aider les intervenants à prendre des décisions en matière de ré...

We obtain accurate thermochemical properties for the ortho-, meta-, and para-dicarborane isomers (C 2 B 10 H 12) by means of explicitly correlated high-level thermochemical procedures. The thermochemical properties include heats of formation, isomerization energies, C-H and B-H bond dissociation energies (BDEs), and ionization potentials. Of these ...

This study combines a clinical approach and multiple level cellular analyses to determine the physiopathological consequences of the c.1392G>T (p.Lys464Asn) CFTR exon 10 mutation, detected in a CF patient with a frameshift deletion in trans and a TG(11)T(5) in cis. Minigene experiment, with different TG(m)T(n) alleles, and nasal cell mRNA extracts ...

The subacute use of corticosteroids has side-effects such as glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, anxiety, and depression, which could be halted with vitamin D, which is an immunomodulatory vitamin. Thus, we aimed to study the anti-asthmatic efficacy and side-effects profile of vitamin D, the corticosteroid dexamethasone, and their combination on ova...
