Quebec - Science topic

As we enter 2025 – the second quarter of the 21st century – the 45th/47th President of the United States of America is asking this important question:

"Should Canada officially become the 51st state of the United States?"

Let's reflect with the help of political science – and all the science that citizens are able to mobilize – to answer this important question raised by President Trump.

Hi everyone, I am currently working on building an econometric model to predict cost overruns in construction projects in Quebec. This model will identify various economic variables (inflation, exchange rates, labor costs, etc.) and use historical data tested over different time periods to evaluate the model’s robustness and accuracy.

Given the complexity of this topic, I am seeking advice and suggestions from the community. Here are some questions I have:

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance 😊.

Can anyone especially those in Quebec Canada recommend where (from databases maybe) I can get deadwood data collected in quebec temperate forest?

Hey dears,

I'm getting ready to create a genetic construction where I'll tag my protein with three flags. I'm aware that I must place it in either the C or N terminal, but I'm not sure which terminal would be best given each consideration ?. Additionally,I want to know whether there is a way to confirm how this 3-flag tag affects the structure and function of my protein ?

I would be very grateful for your help

Thank you

Where are independent higher education research centres specialising in TRUE Orthodox Christianity, not to be confused with Orthodox Christianity ? True Orthodox Christianity rejects the modernism with its roots in the Russian and earlier Revolutions, including the paracanonical (canonically impermissible) calendar reforms promulgated by incomplete Robber Synods starting with the Patriarchate of Constantinople in the 1920s and the genocide of True (aka Authentic, Genuine or Catacomb) Orthodox Christianity by modernist Orthodox Christianity, resulting ultimately in the response of the True Orthodox Christian 1983 Anathema against Ecumenism by the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR) aka Russian Orthodox Church in Exile (ROCIE), embraced by all True, Authentic, Genuine and Catacomb Orthodox Christians. The True Orthodox genocide is numerically by far the greatest Christian martyrdom ever, with tens of millions in the former Russian Empire alone (a large majority of the 110 million "The Economist" estimates were murdered by the Soviet regime alone), was triggered by the refusal of the World Council of Churches, meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, to allow a Greek True Orthodox bishop to speak about this matter, though the New York Times published his proposed address. In response the anathema was promulgated, in English, the WCC official language, at the ROCOR Synodical meeting at their monastery in Mansonville, Québec, also in Canada. Despite making up between 1 and 10% of the Orthodox Christian populations, in the broad sense of the term, throughout the world, I have been, even as an interested True Orthodox Christian, been unable to find any state recognised study centres devoted to the study of True Orthodox Christianity, as opposed to Orthodox Christianity. Some institutions, such as Cambridge University's Institute of Orthodox Christian Studies claim to have all locally active Orthodox Synods represented on their governing bodies, but didn't respond to my request for the publicly available details of the True Orthodox Christian Synods represented there. In any event, that Institute is not an Institute of TRUE Orthodox Christian studies.

I teach French as a second language in a college in Québec with 17-20 years old students. I do research on the effect of intercultural twinings on motivation, attitudes towards the other community and self-competence perception.

I am looking for two to three people who want to be co-authors in my paper on the role of watershed organizations in QC.

If interested, let me know!

Thanks in advance.

I'm conducting an anonymous quantitative survey on SurveyMonkey and some participants left the majority of the questions unanswered. How can we encourage participants to completely answer all questions in the survey?

To date, there is no quick screening test that could be used during routine office visits to accurately assess language disorders in neurodegenerative diseases. To fill this important gap, we developed the Detection Test for Language impairments in Adults and the Aged (DTLA), a quick, sensitive, standardized screening test designed to assess language disorders in adults and the elderly individuals. In Study 1, we describe the development of the DTLA. In Study 2, we report data on the DTLA's validity and reliability. Finally, in Study 3, we establish normative data for the test. The DTLA has good convergent and discriminant validity as well as good internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Norms for the DTLA obtained from a sample of 545 healthy, community-dwelling, French-speaking adults from 4 French-speaking countries (Belgium, Canada (Quebec), France, and Switzerland) are provided. The development, validation, and standardization of the DTLA constitute a significant effort to meet the need for a language screening test adapted to neurodegenerative diseases.

The wound myiasis causing flies of animals are potential human myiasis agents. Monitoring the animal myiasis helps to more precisely identify the dominant and aggressive species in the province.

In Canada, Quebec is the only province with a comprehensive family policy. Why isn't the rest of Canada following suite? What do you think we need to do in order to rearrange funding at the federal level in order to provide adequate support to families nation-wide?

Hi, nice meeting and talking to you in Quebec. I cannot find your e-mail address anywhere so I try here. Your new generic name for D. habilis? I can't remember it. What is it? and could you also provide me with a reference?

I am finishing a very big MS with a revision of the Jurassic stratigraphy of East Greenland and D. habichi occurs scattered in the paper. It would be useful with a more up-to-date name.

Cheers

So I'm starting an experiment in the upcoming weeks where I want to "compost" nitrogen rich ramial chipped wood trough the winter. I'm not expecting the pile to be extremely active (C:N of around 200) but I have colleagues who build gigantic pile (3m high and several meter wide) that produce lot of heat and even make the snow melt on the surface of the pile. I don't have that much material so I'd like to find the smallest size possible which would allow the center of the pile to stay warm. I work near Montreal, Quebec, Canada, we get temperature of -30°C (-22F) for 1-2 week during the winter.

I will be conducting a cost-benefit analysis of the impact of the freedom space river managing approach in Québec.

The first and only example I have in hand is of: Thomas Buffin-Bélanger, Pascale M. Biron, Marie Larocque, Sylvio Demers, Taylor Olsen, Guénolé Choné, Marie-Audray Ouellet, Claude-André Cloutier, Claude Desjarlais, Joanna Eyquem, Freedom space for rivers: An economically viable river management concept in a changing climate, Geomorphology, Volume 251, 2015, Pages 137-148,

ISSN 0169-555X, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2015.05.013.

I am looking for more papers and ideas in that regard.

Thank you for your collaboration!

Hi,

My name is Céeleste Robert and I am a master student at l'Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue (UQAT). I am interested in your project as I am also working with PLA and natural fibers. I was wondering how your project is going. Have you encountered any difficulties while processing your composites? i am having some difficulties right now with the injection molding of my PLA. I started by practicing on the pure PLA, but they are giving me a lot of difficulties. The test specimen have defects in them and air bubbles. I tried tunnin many injection properties such as: the mold temp, the processing time and the time left in the mold before taking out the samples, the pressure, the injection time, and the injection temperature (nozzle and the different zones), but nothing seems to help.

Do you have any tips you could give me to make my injection adventure a little less chaotic? I am using a Haitian MA 600 II machine with a screw diameter of 24mm.

Thank you,

Céleste

I'm currently working on a highway project in Quebec (Canada) and we are at the stage of designing wildlife passageways for small and large wildlife.

We are looking for, idealy, a study on comparative tests between different types of wildlife passages. If not available, report on monitoring programms and summary reports on what passage work best or not.

We are interested in case study from all around the world (Europe, America, Australia, etc), if you know someone or have good reference, please contact me at sarah-claude.lachance@norda.com.

Thanks you so much for your help!

I am the president of the recent Quebec association of electrosensitive people the Rassemblement ÉlectroSensibilité Québec. As such and as a researcher in the health field (now retired), I am interested in the possible impact of EMFs on human health, in particular on children. Several members of our association have children, and the skyrocketing increase in the proportion of children with autism is really worrysome. Thanks. If you want me to keep the information confidential, I accept. I would like to know where the study will be done, how, when, what will be the experimental group and the group control, and who will finance it. Thanks a lot.

Ce bref extrait dans Les Normes résume l'intention de M. Séguin à entrevoir l'explication de l'histoire des deux Canadas. Ce qui soulève le problème des interprétations en histoire du Canada et de l'histoire du Québec. Autrement dit des rapports entre les nations avec tout ce que le concept de nation peut impliquer dans l'analyse historique du phénomène des deux sociétés nationales en cause. D'où le Chapitre troisième, le plus important, qu'il a intitulé «Sociologie du national». Il le présente sous cinq thèmes :

- Les nations et le nationalisme

- Quelques situations type de nations

- Le fédéralisme

- L'assimilation

- Vie et organisation internationales.

There is commercial fisheries on Sea Scallops in DFO-Quebec waters, so this is the reason why I'm asking if specimens from Quebec waters were included in that genomics research. Virginie Roy, DFO researcher in benthic ecology, Maurice-Lamontagne Institute.

I'm working on a report about the formation of the Magdalen Islands in Quebec for a university paper and it seems that there's a grey zone on whether the archipelagos have been glaciated or no... but i am not able to find an article answering that question.

Thanks!

Considering that MOOC providers place priority on creating content for professional training, can we trust that MOOC can be a disruptive technology for university teaching ?

I am researching on dysfunctionalism of international criminal law, using the ICC/AU crisis as a case study. I want to find out what damages have being done to the vision of international criminal justice system by the standoff. I do not intend to dwell on who is at fault as most literature on the subject have. What are the benefits of the international criminal justice system? Are these benefits being met in Africa and elsewhere? With the Posture of the ICC and the AU, how do we make the project work? Is the problem of a dysfunctional international criminal justice system occasioned by the textual formulation of the Rome Statute, UNSC referrals, State self-referrals, emergent Anti-ICC AU resolutions, immunities and lack of, politics, etc, etc. HOW DO WE MAKE THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM WORK?

The increasing and alarming rate of Caesarean Section across the world is a worrisome issue. What are the solutions to address it?

From cultural relativism emphasizes the idea of defending the validity and richness of all cultural systems. Well, although it is true that from a moral point of view all the traditions, customs and values of a particular culture must now be respected without that reigns ethnocentrism, from an ethical perspective when certain cultural patterns threaten the physical integrity of the human being, and they violate their rights and freedoms, under no circumstances must be defended or supported , and much less respected, as is the case with the ablation of the clitoris. For this practice, in addition to depriving women of the pleasure of female sexuality, can cause serious problems at the organic level such as infections, sterility, bleeding, pain and problems during childbirth, and in the worst case death itself.

¿Es la mutilación genital femenina justificada por el relativismo cultural?

Desde el relativismo cultural se hace hincapié en la idea de la defensa de la validez y riqueza de todos los sistemas culturales. Ahora bien, aunque es cierto que desde un punto de vista moral todas las tradiciones, costumbres y valores de una determinada cultura han de ser respetados sin que impere el etnocentrismo, desde una perspectiva ética cuando ciertos patrones culturales atentan contra la integridad física del ser humano, y vulneran sus derechos y libertades, bajo ningún concepto han de ser defendidos ni respaldados, y mucho menos respetados, tal como ocurre con la ablación del clítoris. Pues esta práctica, ademas de privar a la mujer del placer de la sexualidad femenina, puede causarle graves problemas a nivel orgánico tales como infecciones, esterilidad, hemorragias, dolor intenso, problemas durante el parto, y en el peor de los casos la propia muerte.

I need to know on what grounds the question to what extent  is an arbitral tribunal free to apply identified Lex Mercatoria principles can be answered?

First a question: Did anyone approach Dr. Alex Roland (Duke History Dept., Emeritus)? He is a Vietnam Vet. His insight might be useful.

 Second, I would be curious how the sample distribution is among the services?

Third, as an ex-Marine, Viet Vet (12/67-7/68 [Quang Tri, Hue City, Khe San and DMZ, for a couple of days) and Duke History alum (1976) I read your paper with interest. When in-country you would hear stories of people raising a hand or foot out of a bunker hoping to pick up a piece of shrapnel, or picking up a cut from you P-38 (a can opener). These stories usually had the ring of urban legends.

 I don’t want to be judgmental but does a sense of “shame” play a part in the increase in suicidal tendencies. Service/unit esprit/cohesion inculcates an obligation to the group. You will never feel a stronger bond with anyone like the one you have with the people who you share a combat experience. When you leave the group (either by rotation or wounds) you feel a sense of guilt, survivor’s guilt. Especially after I got out of the service and the war dragged on, I often felt a sense of failure to my fellow Marines. God only know I really didn’t want to be in Vietnam, but neither did I want to let down my fellow Marines.

 I apologize for my rambling. Best of luck.
