Au Canada et au Québec, la contamination de l’eau par les hydrocarbures pétroliers représente un problème environnemental actuel et sérieux. Un autre problème est l’accumulation des matières résiduelles des textiles rendus à la fin de leur vie utile, un des éléments importants des déchets urbains au Québec. Cette étude évalue la faisabilité de l’utilisation de […]

This project addresses two specific challenges related to promotional planning in the consumer-packaged goods sector. The first output will be to develop and evaluate models that statistically predict the impact of Unilever promotions on category and product share across different retailers. This effort will lead to the creation of trade promotion optimization techniques that enables […]

Mindfulness meditation has recently received considerable interest in clinical and in broader contexts for its mental health and cognitive benefits. It has been proposed that giving people feedback about their meditation relevant brain activity during or after meditation can help people learn this difficult skill, and initial work looks promising, but there are a number […]

Heterosis is a natural phenomenon where offspring (hybrids) outperform their parents in many agronomic traits, although exploited in breeding the mechanisms controlling heterosis remain elusive. Genetic distance between parents has been positively correlated with heterosis, yet does not adequately explain the phenomenon. Dividing lines from any crop into heterotic groups that provide optimal combining ability […]
