In this context, the aim of this PhD work is the synthesis of different nanostructured materials based on ALD oxide thin film (Al2O3, ZnO and Al2O3/ZnO nanolaminates) deposited on different types of substrates such as silicon substrate, glass, nanofibers, multipores and...

This thesis presents the mathematical analysis of models in augmentative biological control, from which practical guidelines are the derived. Biological control provides a means to fight pest invertebrates that attack crops with their natural predators. It is an essenti...

Industrial parks, commonly defined as physical spaces developed for the use of several firms simultaneously and managed by a designated manager, currently face challenge pertaining to their development and operation. Sustainable development, regarded as the conjunction ...

Great River watersheds, as the Mississippi River in North America, integrate climate and environmental changes (climate fluctuations, precipitations, streamflow, sediment loads) at near continent scale, as well as anthropogenic changes in physical environment (land uses...

This thesis presents a new Linear Voltage Stabilization System (LVSS) specially designed for µ-hybrid vehicles using the Stop-Start function. The LVSS stabilizes the battery voltage during the start-up of the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) limiting the start-up curren...

For several years, technological developments in telecommunications and microwave circuit tend to miniaturization, low cost and mass reduction, in these devices. SIW Circuits (Substrate Integrated Waveguide) are developed in this manner and are currently the subject of ...

The International Linear Collider (ILC), a high precision electron-positron machine with centre of mass energy extending up to the TeV scale, is curently being proposed and designed. With unprecedented small beam size and high intensity the ILC aims at luminosities of t...

Non disponible / Not available; Une étude comparative a été menée entre deux groupes d'adolescents, dont un était issu de milieux défavorisés, sur leurs connaissances, leurs attitudes et leur comportement alimentaire. Une importante revue de la littérature a été centrée...

Alzheimer’s disease is a complex neuropathological disorder that constitutes the prime form of dementia. Intimately related to ageing, it is associated to the gradual loss of memory and cognitive functions in individual suffering from the pathology. With nearly 30 milli...
