Type d'Item : Item , Proceedings of the 21st Canadian Semiconductor Science and Technology Conference(2026-10-06) Hinzer, KarinThese are the official proceedings of the 21st Canadian Semiconductor Science and Technology Conference, held at the University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada, from August 25 to 27, 2026. The proceedings include welcome messages, committee information, sponsor and exhibitor acknowledgements, award recipients, as well as abstracts of keynote, plenary, invited and contributed presentations from researchers representing universities, government laboratories, and industry. Topics cover semiconductor science and technology broadly, including epitaxy, materials, characterization, electronic, sensors, solar, photonics, micro-electromechanical systems, low dimension, quantum, nano, organic semiconductors and additive manufacturing. The volume serves as a permanent archival record of the conference and its scientific contributions.Type d'Item : Item , Introduction au TEI XML(2026) Defours, AliceAtelier d’introduction à l’encodage de texte avec TEI et XML pour l'analyse de texte, enseigné par Alice Defours.

Retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS), for example, are increasing in frequency across the Canadian Arctic, including High Arctic locations. Most knowledge of the hydrological impacts of thaw slumping is based on studies in the Western Canadian and Alaskan Arctic, where thaw slumping is pluvial driven. In the Eureka region, thaw slumping is widespread and linked to warmer summer air temperatures. However, the hydrological impacts of thaw slumps on local streams remain unquantified. This PhD thesis therefore (1) quantifies regional landscape change, (2) isolates the geochemical effects of thaw slumping on nival streams, and (3) evaluates how regional climate influences stream activity in the region of Eureka, Ellesmere Island, Nunavut. Landsat trend analysis spanning from 1999 to 2024 shows that 79.3% of the Fosheim Peninsula experienced significant positive change in greening (vegetation increase), 42.3% in brightness (surface reflectance) and 31.2% in wetness (surface water and ground moisture). Notably, 26% of areas with positive greening trends occur on barren land. Random-forest classification indicates aridification processes on 3.7% of the peninsula. LARCH visual analysis shows substantial geomorphic reorganization, including widespread fluvial erosion and channel migration in the Slidre River system. Over the 25-year period, nine lakes fully or partially drained, and 139 thaw slumps were identified, 60 of which were active in 2024. Stream chemistry from two nival-dominated streams shows that RTS had no impact on stream δD-δ18O but increased dissolved organic carbon and solute concentrations, including elevated chloride downstream of disturbances. Stream-climate interactions indicate that intra-stream temperature variability is governed primarily by channel morphology and temperature inversion rather than thermokarst activity. Climate–temperature relationships shifted between years: air temperature strongly controlled stream temperature in the cold–wet year (avg among sites r = 0.76), whereas solar radiation dominated in the warm–dry year (avg among sites r = 0.56). Stream discharge was greater and more variable in 2022, while suspended sediment and dissolved particulate loads were significantly elevated downstream of RTS during the dry 2023 season (p < 0.001). Collectively, these results show that the region is undergoing rapid climate-driven landscape change, RTS significantly alters stream geochemistry and sediment loads, whereas climatic conditions directly control stream discharge and temperature.Type d'Item : Item , A Journey with Maps: Cartography in the Works of Joseph Conrad(Université d'Ottawa | University of Ottawa, 2026-10-06) Coleman, Ethan; Brooke-Smith, JamesThis thesis demonstrates how Joseph Conrad’s prose style was influenced by his professional experience as a sailor. By doing so, this thesis proposes a new approach to reading and mapping Conrad’s fiction with maps that spatialize the cartographic experience of the fictional narrative rather than its geographic boundaries. Even though most editions of Conrad’s fiction have a map to go with the text, very few maps ever break from the dogmatic process of marking the places of Conrad’s fiction in our world’s geography. This geographic spatialization of Conrad’s fiction (i.e., reading Heart of Darkness with a map of the Congo river), however crucial to understanding the very real geographic and historical basis for many of Conrad’s stories, also limits our reading of Conrad’s fiction to this one spatiality. Using Linda Hutcheon’s The Theory of Adaptation (2006) and by juxtaposing a number of alternative maps and adaptations of Heart of Darkness and Almayer’s Folly, I demonstrate how the process of adaptation maps these stories beyond their geographical bounds in ways that facilitate a richer understanding of their phenomenological and spatial dynamics. These alternative maps include Conrad’s “Up-River Book”, his notebook from navigating the Congo river; British Admiralty charts and their textual supplements; and film adaptations, such as Chantal Akerman’s La Folie Almayer (2011) and Rob Lemkin’s African Apocalypse (2020). Alongside these media, I refer to Michel de Certeau’s concepts of “space” and “place” in The Practice of Everyday Life (1984), Frances Yates’ theory of architectural mnemonics in The Art of Memory (1969), and more recent theory about literary cartography. Using this interdisciplinary framework, this thesis demonstrates how nautical navigation presents a cartographic perspective of fictional world-building that is uniquely phenomenological. Conrad’s texts are prime examples of how books can be mapped differently, and how as readers we can work to be more conscious of the effects that maps have in shaping our cognition of the texts we read.
