Global trends in automotive industry for weight reduction drives an interest for casting of structural aluminum parts. High pressure die casting (HPDC) is chosen for this purpose since it enables manufacturing of large series parts where complexity and repeatability is demanded. Aluminum alloys have hence been developed through the years to obtain ...
The electronic properties of Triphenylamine (TPA) in gas phase and adsorbed on gold(111) have been simulated with Quantum Espresso using Density Functional Theory (DFT). To better understand how the presence of a gold surface affects sunlight absorption in the system, partial Density Of States (pDOS) and Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (N...
Marine lakes are emerging ecological and evolutionary natural experimental systems, with genetically isolated resident populations that exhibit extreme population dynamics and rapid phenotypic change. Marine lakes are posited to be marine islands, however, unlike terrestrial islands for which rich models have been developed over the past half-centu...
The interbreeding of individuals coming from genetically differentiated but incompletely isolated populations can lead to the formation of admixed populations, having important implications in ecology and evolution. In this simulation study, we evaluate how individual admixture proportions estimated by the software structure are quantitatively affe...
Les impacts d'une formation, d'une intervention éducative (que ce soit auprès de patients, d'élève, d'étudiants, ou autres) , sont, potentiellement, tellement nombreux qu'il est utile d'en proposer une classification. La taxonomie proposée a deux axes (deux dimensions), chacune comportant 5 catégories, d'où le nom "5 sur 5" (un clin d'oeil à l'expr...
The connection between breast and prostate cancer in relatives within a family is an intriguing question in the field since this information is valuable when diagnosing patients with either type of cancer as it may contribute to cancer prevention. The aim of the thesis is to ascertain whether these two cancers are inherited together. Markov Chain M...
Social choice theory provides a theoretical framework for analyzing how to combine individual opinions, preferences, interests or welfare so as to reach a collective decision. Social choice theory is one of the areas in economics that has seen a boom in simulations work using models based on the behavior of individuals involved in collective decisi...
In this work, a PET detector modeling method using the detector response function (DRF) is presented, which is derived from Monte Carlo simulations using the GATE package. Based on this DRF, a simplified simulation framework to directly obtain the coincidence for the BrainPET is developed, which has been validated against the GATE. With these basic...
In spite of the fact that there are plenty of recent studies on Si/graphene composite anodes, the influence of graphene on Li diffusion at the interface and lithiation associated mechanical behavior have not been well-understood. Furthermore, it is still a technical challenge to maintain a high capacity and an ultralong cycle life with high mass lo...
