Abstract:
Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is an economically important pathogen that has been studied for over one hundred years. Seedlings, seed coats, and nutrient solution were assayed for the presence of the virus and seed treatments were tested on seeds. Double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS ELISA) and biological local lesion assay data were collected. Seed coats from seed collected from TMV infected plants were always positive for TMV regardless of chemical treatment. Seed from infected source plants have lower germination than seed from healthy plants. Trisodium phosphat

Abstract:
The spread of fruiting tree species is strongly determined by the behavior and range of fruit-eating animals, particularly birds. Birds either consume and digest seeds or carry and cache them at some distance from the source tree. These carried and settled seeds provide some form of distribution which generates tree spread to the new location. Firstly, we modal seed dispersal by birds and introduce it in a dispersal model to estimate seed distribution. Using this distribution, we create a population model to estimate the speed at which juniper and pinyon forest boundaries move. Secondly, we in

Abstract:
Radioactive seed implant brachytherapy is a common radiotherapy treatment method for prostate cancer. In current clinical practice, a seed consists of a single isotope, such as 125I or 103Pd. A seed containing a mixture of two isotopes has been proposed for prostate cancer treatment. This study investigates a method for defining a prescription dose for new seed compositions based on matching the biological equivalent dose (BED) of a reference plan. Ten prostate cancer cases previously treated using single isotope seeds (5 using 125I seeds and 5 using 103Pd seeds) were selected for this study

The naturalisation and subsequent spread of non-indigenous plant species (NIPS) is a major problem for most regions of the world.

Ma thèse s'inscrit dans l'étude de la physique extragalactique. Pendant mes trois années de thèse j'ai travaillé sur les méthodes d'ajustement de la distribution d'énergie spectrale des galaxies (ou SED fitting) en effectuant un bilan énergétique entre l'émission en ultraviolet et l'émission en infrarouge. A cet effet j'ai très largement utilisé le code CIGALE (Burgarella et al. 2005, Noll et al. 2009) qui permet d'estimer les paramètres physiques des galaxies à partir de l'analyse de leur émission dans des bandes larges et intermédiares de l'ultraviolet au submillimétrique.

Some European policies are appearing focusing soil’s protection and the management of contaminated sites, in order to recover land for other uses. To regulate the risk assessment and the management of contaminated soils, many European member states adopted soil guideline values, as for example soil screnning values (SSV).These values are particularly useful for the the first tier of the Ecological Risk Assessment

Abstract:
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) of the Caribbean are one of the world’s ‘hottest’ ‘biodiversity hotspots’. However, this biodiversity continues to be threatened by habitat loss, and now, by climate change. The research reported here investigated the potential of species distribution modelling (SDM) as a plant conservation tool within Caribbean SIDS, using Trinidad as a case study. Prior to the application of SDM, ancillary analyses including: (i) quantification and mapping of forest cover change (1969 to 2007) and deforestation rates, and (ii) assessment of the island’s vegetation commun

Abstract:
This thesis proposes and discusses a statistical model for interpreting forensic DNA mixtures. We develop methods for estimation of model parameters and assessing the uncertainty of the estimated quantities. Further, we discuss how to interpret the mixture in terms of predicting the set of contributors. We emphasise the importance of challenging any interpretation of a particular mixture, and for this purpose we develop a set of diagnostic tools that can be used in assessing the adequacy of the model to the data at hand as well as in a systematic validation of the model on experimental data.

Le but de cette thèse a été de mieux comprendre l'histoire cosmique de la formation des galaxies grâce au plus grand sondage cosmologique réalisé avec l’interféromètre ALMA. Cette observation a été réalisée dans une région du ciel, le champ GOODS-Sud, qui bénéficie des observations les plus profondes du télescope spatial Hubble, des observatoires infrarouges Spitzer et Herschel, ainsi que des données de l’observatoire X Chandra et l’interféromètre radio VLA. Ces observations à 1.1mm avec ALMA complètent donc ce panorama multi-longueurs d’onde, et font de cette région du ciel un laboratoire de

Abstract:
En dosimétrie, la distribution énergétique des photons émis par une source constitue un paramètre incontournable. Dans la gamme des basses et moyennes énergies (i.e. E&lt;150 keV ici), le LNHB possède 5 tubes à rayons X ainsi que des grains de curiethérapie à l’iode 125, présentant des hauts débits de fluence. La détermination du spectre émis par calcul (déterministe ou Monte-Carlo) est limitée, dans la gamme d’énergie considérée, par les incertitudes élevées sur les bases de données ainsi que par les approximations du modèle.

This thesis determines the soybean sales volume required for an investment in bulk soybean infrastructure to become financially feasible. A total of 1,456 soybean sales data points were used to run a regression model. Based on the results of the regression model, a correlation was determined between those agents that have bulk soybeans and soybean

Abstract:
Microsite disturbances – including mounds created by burrowing mammals – increase local plant community diversity by supporting unique species assemblages. I investigated whether Richardson’s ground squirrel (Urocitellus richardsonii) mounds support unique plant assemblages within five Manitoba prairie pastures, and explored the factors contributing to the plant assemblages documented. Richardson’s ground squirrel mounds supported unique species assemblages relative to bare-ground disturbances with removal of vegetation but no soil disturbance. These detectable shifts in plant community struct
