Trends in Canadian temperature and precipitation during the 20th century are analyzed using recently updated and adjusted station data. Six elements, maximum, minimum and mean temperatures along with diurnal temperature range (DTR), precipitation totals and ratio of snowfall to total precipitation are investigated. Anomalies from the 1961–1990 reference period were first obtained at individual ...

Depuis sa création, la Fête de science fait l’objet d’une communication visuelle qui a évolué au fil du temps. À partir analyse sémiotique portant sur les affiches l’évènement, autrices nous livrent ici tendances qu’elles ont pu observer dans le positionnement cette manifestation entre et société.

Information on demographic characteristics and bite-related factors were recorded. A total of 2232 people were bitten; the frequency of bites was highest among males (75.4%), rural residents (72.3%) and t...

Temporal replicate counts are often aggregated to improve model fit by reducing zero-inflation and count variability, and in the case of migration counts collected hourly throughout a migration, allows one to ignore nonindependence. However, aggregation can represent a loss of potentially useful information on the hourly or seasonal distribution of counts, which might impact our ability to esti...

RÉSUMÉ. Les moteurs de recherche communs exploitent le contenu des documents qu’ils indexent. Or, les internautes créent également des données explicites (tags, annotations, commentaires, notes, données de géoréférencement, etc.) et implicites (clics, logs, etc.) qu’il semble utile de prendre en compte pour améliorer l’indexation. Nos travaux concernent actuellement deux problématiques. Premièr...
