Numerical relativity simulations in the era of the Einstein Telescope
No full textNumerical-relativity (NR) simulations of compact binaries are expected to be an invaluable tool in gravitational-wave (GW) astronomy. The sensitivity of future detectors such as the Einstein Telescope (ET) will place much higher demands on NR simulations than first- and second-generation ground-based detectors. We discuss the issues facing compact-object simulations over the next decade, with an emphasis on estimating where the accuracy and parameter space coverage will be sufficient for ET and where significant work is needed. <br/

Microbial enrichment culture responsible for the complete oxidative biodegradation of 3‑Amino-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (ATO), the reduced daughter product of the insensitive munitions compound 3‑Nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO)
No full text3-Nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) is one of the main ingredients of many insensitive munitions, which are being used as replacements for conventional explosives. As its use becomes widespread, more research is needed to assess its environmental fate. Previous studies have shown that NTO is biologically reduced to 3-amino-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (ATO). However, the final degradation products of ATO are still unknown. We have studied the aerobic degradation of ATO by enrichment cultures derived from the soil. After multiple transfers, ATO degradation was monitored in closed bottles through measurements of inorganic carbon and nitrogen species. The results indicate that the members of the enrichment culture utilize ATO as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen. As ATO was mineralized to CO₂, N₂, and NH₄⁺, microbial growth was observed in the culture. Co-substrates addition did not increase the ATO degradation rate. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that the organisms that enriched using ATO as carbon and nitrogen source were Terrimonas spp., Ramlibacter-related spp., Mesorhizobium spp., Hydrogenophaga spp., Ralstonia spp., Pseudomonas spp., Ectothiorhodospiraceae, and Sphingopyxis. This is the first study to report the complete mineralization of ATO by soil microorganisms, expanding our understanding of natural attenuation and bioremediation of the explosive NTO.Journal ArticleFinal article publishe
Nanostructured re-doped SiO<sub>2</sub>-base fluorescent materials and methods for production of same, U.S. Patent 7,407,604
No full textA new class of nanostructured RE-doped SiO2-base materials that display superior fluorescence properties is provided. In particular, high gain combined with a broad and flat spectral band width is observed in material composed of a high fraction of a nano-dispersed metastable silicate phase in a glassy SiO2 matrix, produced by partial devitrification (crystallization) of several glassy Al2O3/Er2O3- and Y2O3/Er2O3-doped SiO2 compositions. Also, a highly deconvoluted spectral emission, with several prominent peaks, is observed in completely devitrified material, consisting of a uniform nano-dispersion of an equilibrium silicate phase in a crystobalite SiO2 matrix. Such enhanced fluorescence properties were observed in heat treated nanopowders prepared by vapor-phase, solgel, rapid solidification, and spray-pyrolysis method
Early maladaptive schemas as a cognitive vulnerability factor for bipolar spectrum disorders
No full textTableau d’honneur de la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales, 2012-2013.Le trouble bipolaire est associé à plusieurs particularités cognitives et de personnalité. Parmi les facteurs proposés pour expliquer le déclenchement des symptômes et les épisodes affectifs à la suite d'événements de vie particuliers se trouve l'évaluation cognitive de l'événement. La théorie des schémas serait une théorie pertinente qui permettrait d'expliquer le style cognitif associé au trouble bipolaire (Young, Klosko & Weishaar, 2003). La théorie des schémas vise les patients avec des troubles psychologiques chroniques qui ne bénéficient pas autant que d'autres de la thérapie cognitive. Des composants principaux de la théorie sont les schémas précoces d'inadaptation, définis comme des traits de caractère larges et généralisés qui se développent pendant l'enfance comme réaction aux expériences inadaptées. La théorie des schémas et l'approche thérapeutique associée ont démontré un succès marqué pour le traitement des troubles de la personnalité. Étant donné les aspects cognitifs et les caractéristiques de personnalité associés au trouble bipolaire, il est possible que la théorie des schémas s'applique également au spectre bipolaire. Cette thèse constitue une exploration préliminaire de l'application des schémas précoces d'inadaptation, comme facteur de vulnérabilité cognitive, au spectre bipolaire. Premièrement, les caractéristiques du trouble bipolaire qui justifient l'application de la théorie des schémas (Chapitre 1) sont recensées, ainsi que, avec une vision large, la littérature portant sur la théorie des schémas aux troubles affectifs et anxieux (Chapitre 2). Les propriétés psychométriques de l'adaptation franco-canadienne de l'instrument de mesure des schémas, soit le Questionnaire des schémas de Young, sont examinées (Chapitre 3). Ensuite, les schémas chez les individus à risque de développer un trouble bipolaire (Chapitre 4) et diagnostiqués d'un trouble bipolaire (Chapitre 5) sont examinés, et finalement, comparés (Chapitre 6). Les résultats démontrent que la composante "schéma précoce d'inadaptation" de la théorie des schémas s'applique non seulement aux troubles affectifs et anxieux en général, mais aussi au spectre bipolaire spécifiquement. Les études illustrent l'activation générale des schémas chez les individus à risque ou diagnostiqués d'un trouble bipolaire, ainsi que des effets spécifiques pour certains schémas clés qui reflètent les caractéristiques du spectre bipolaire. Ceci inclut, notamment, l'activation du schéma Droits personnels exagérés/grandeur et l'absence d'activation du schéma Surcontrôle émotionnel. Les résultats sont discutés et des pistes de recherche future sont proposées (Chapitre 7). Cette thèse suggère que la théorie des schémas s'applique au spectre bipolaire et ouvre la porte à l'exploration de la schéma thérapie comme traitement possible pour les individus diagnostiqués d'un trouble bipolaire
