Dans les dernières années plusieurs déversements de produits pétroliers ont conduit à la contamination d’un grand nombre de terrains au Canada. Actuellement, les bio-surfactants sont utilisés dans plusieurs techniques de réhabilitation de sol grâce à leur faible toxicité et leur biodégradabilité. Les bio-surfactants sont des surfactants produits par une diversité de micro-organismes afin de solubiliser […]

Where observations of air pollution are unavailable, e.g. from emissions of future facilities or in remote areas, air pollution is simulated with computer models. These models require input of emissions from nearby sources but also of background concentrations that are caused by sources outside of the modelling domain, because the domain is limited by computational […]

This project is designed to analyze a list of insurance policies and past claims, and to determine which variables have had a significant influence on the cost of house reconstruction in the case of insurance claims. It is also planned to use a hedonic pricing model to include, where appropriate, the influence of location variables, […]
