Évaluation de la performance dans les tribunaux administratifs : synthèse critique de la littérature et agenda de recherche

Canadian Public Administration, EarlyView.
Sommaire À première vue, l'évaluation de la performance s'accommode difficilement avec les principes de fonctionnement des institutions investies d'une fonction juridictionnelle. C'est pourquoi une littérature émergente, mais fragmentée, s'intéresse à son adoption dans les tribunaux administratifs.

Home ranges, feeding sites, and daily movement behavior of the highly threatened Livingstone's fruit bat revealed through GPS tracking

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Livingstone's fruit bat GPS tracks during day‐ and nighttime on Anjouan, Comoros, identifying likely feeding sites. Abstract The highly threatened Livingstone's fruit bat, Pteropus livingstonii, is endemic to only two islands of the Union of the Comoros, a country with some of the highest deforestation rates worldwide.

Biomechanical Analysis of 3D Printed and Thermoformed EVA Custom‐Made Mouthguard: Experimental and Finite Element Analyses

Dental Traumatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objective 3D printed materials have been evaluated for fabricating mouthguards; however, little is known about their biomechanical performance in preventing dental trauma. This study aimed to compare two 3D printed polymers and three ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) sheets used for mouthguard fabrication regarding their mechanical ...
