This master's thesis in creative writing is composed of two parts: a critical study and a journal. The critical study, L'Exil romanesque, attempts to define and illustrate the nature of exile. More precisely, it analyses exile as a theme and…

During the Great Depression of the 1930s, many artists, writers, and dramatists joined the Communist Party of Canada and its cultural wing, the Progressive Arts Club. They produced plays, and contributed articles, poems and stories to socialist magazines, such as…

In a cross-sectional study we examined lipoprotein composition and CETP mass in 15 sedentary and 12 exercising, healthy male volunteers, aged between 17-35 years. The exercising group were defined as individuals participating in at least five weekly 45 minute exercise…

La notion de «primauté du droit» est difficile à cerner en théorie constitutionnelle canadienne. L'auteur se propose de préparer le terrain afin de permettre une meilleure compréhension de cette notion. L'obstacle principal à surmonter pour ce faire est, selon lui,…

This paper deals with diffuse-object holograms recorded in silver halide sensitized gelatin. Both the diffraction efficiency and the signal-to-noise ratio when reconstruction is done with different wavelengths are measured. The experimental results we obtained show that new theoretical models for…

A model is proposed which allows us to obtain the diffraction efficiency of photopolymeric materials with a nonlinear response to the refraction index, using the equations on the evolution of copolymerization reactions as a base. The photochemical material being analysed…

A model for simulating transport of reactive multispecies components has been applied to simulate the chemical changes occurring during salt water intrusion in a confined aquifer. One-dimensional reactive flow in permeable media is simulated by means of a numerical method…

Three numerical methods for calculating the point spread function for holographic optical elements in the presence of aberrations are analyzed. The starting point for the analytical formulation of the diffraction theory of aberrations for holographic optical elements is the Fresnel-Kirchhoff…

In the 19th century it was difficult for the growing number of medical practitioners in North America to access current medical literature. Various ways were suggested to solve this problem; one of them was the creation of physician-run medical library…
