Land cover, more than monthly fire weather, drives fire-size distribution in Southern Québec forests: Implications for fire risk management by Jean Marchal (3319485)

“…Our results imply, for example, that if 30% of a conifer-dominated landscape were converted to hardwoods, the probability of a given fire, occurring in that landscape under mean fire weather conditions, exceeding 100,000 ha would be reduced by a factor of 21. …”

DataSheet1_Soil Surface Micro-Topography by Structure-from-Motion Photogrammetry for Monitoring Density and Erosion Dynamics.docx by Annelie Ehrhardt (11954732)

“…The micro-topographical changes resulting from rainfall–induced soil mass redistribution within the plots were determined from the differences in SfM maps before and after rain. The largest decrease in mean soil surface elevation and roughness was observed after rain for the middle slope plot and primarily in initially less compacted regions. …”

Modulation of cell viability by 8-Br-cGMP/vardenafil. by Sara D’ Alessandro (14886399)

“…<p>COS7, K1 and Nthy-ori 3–1 cell lines were treated 24 h with increasing 8-Br-cGMP and vardenafil (100 nM– 500 μM range). Cell viability was evaluated by MTT assay and indicated as an absorbance detected at the 570 nm wavelength. 4 μM thapsigargin served as a positive control (Tha) for cell viability decrease and results were compared by Kruskal Wallis test and Dunn’s post-test (*significantly different <i>versus</i> untreated sample; p < 0.05; means ± SEM; n = 6 to 8). …”
