Landscape characteristics influencing the genetic structure of greater sage-grouse within the stronghold of their range: a holistic modeling approach
(Wiley, 2015-05-01)Given the significance of animal dispersal to population dynamics and geographic variability, understanding how dispersal is impacted by landscape patterns has major ecological and conservation importance. Speaking to the ... -
Landscapes for Energy and Wildlife: Conservation Prioritization for Golden Eagles across Large Spatial Scales
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Proactive conservation planning for species requires the identification of important spatial attributes across ecologically relevant scales in a model-based framework. However, it is often difficult to develop predictive ... -
Large Aperiodic Semigroups
(World Scientific Publishing, 2015-11-01)We search for the largest syntactic semigroups of star-free languages having n left quotients; equivalently, we look for the largest transition semigroups of aperiodic finite automata with n states. We first introduce ... -
Large eddy simulation of transitional separated flow over a low Reynolds number cambered airfoil
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2023-03)The accurate simulation of the aerodynamic behavior of low Reynolds number (Re) cambered airfoils requires the ability to capture the transitional separated boundary layer (BL) that occurs naturally on the surface of the ... -
Late-lumping backstepping control of partial differential equations
(Elsevier, 2019-02)We consider in this paper three different partial differential equations (PDEs) that can be exponentially stabilized using backstepping controllers. For implementation, a finite-dimensional controller is generally needed. ... -
Le devenir paysager. De quelques paysages postindustriels entre arts visuels et poésie
(University of Toronto Press, 2015)Abstract This essay proposes an analysis of the concept of landscape in contemporary Quebec visual arts and poetry. A brief archaeology of the landscape shows the pictorial origins of this genre, as well as the ... -
Le paysage chez Robert Melançon: Entre milieu citadin et scène baroque
(Université Laval, 2015)Cet article interroge le paysage urbain dans Le paradis des apparences (2004) de Robert Melançon en mobilisant tour à tour les concepts de « milieu » (Berque) et d’« espaces mineur et majeur » (Desportes), qui invitent à ... -
Learning about Ontario's Paleozoic Geology with Virtual Reality Google Expedition Tours
(2020-02)How well can you interpret or place into context the different geological features or rock types that are exposed along roadways, rivers, coastlines or construction sites? Here in the Department of Earth and Environmental ... -
Learning Filters for the 2D Wavelet Transform
(IEEE, 2018)We propose a new method for learning filters for the 2D discrete wavelet transform. We extend our previous work on the 1D wavelet transform in order to process images. We show that the 2D wavelet transform can be represented ... -
Learning to labor in high-technology: experiences of overwork in university internships at digital media firms in North America
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)Long working hours have become a normal and expected characteristic of employment in many sectors in the Global North. In this paper I examine subjective and affective experiences of overwork that define students’ discussions ... -
Learning Trustworthy Web Sources to Derive Correct Answers and Reduce Health Misinformation in Search
(ACM, 2022-07)When searching the web for answers to health questions, people can make incorrect decisions that have a negative effect on their lives if the search results contain misinformation. To reduce health misinformation in search ... -
Legacy Phosphorus Across Canada: Insights from a 60-Year Dataset
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-15)Human activities over decades of agriculture and urbanization have altered phosphorus (P) cycling, posing a threat to water quality and ecosystem function. Algal blooms have become a pervasive problem in both small and ... -
LES and FW-H Prediction of Aeroacoustic Noise for a SD 7037 Airfoil for Wind Turbine Applications
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc., 2019-05-18)The aeroacoustic noise generated by wind turbines poses issues with the implementation of this renewable energy technology. The use of a fully analytical model for predicting airfoil noise could serve as a crucial tool in ... -
