Millions of people die prematurely every year from diseases and cancer caused by air pollution. The first line of defence against this carnage is ambient air quality standards. Yet, according to researchers from 91黑料网, over half of the world鈥檚 population lives without the protection of adequate air quality standards.
Today, 脡lisabeth Bri猫re, Member of Parliament for Sherbrooke and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages announced funding results from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation鈥檚 (CFI) Innovation Fund (IF) for universities in Quebec.
Many species might be left vulnerable in the face of climate change, unable to adapt their physiologies to respond to rapid global warming. According to a team of international researchers, species evolve heat tolerance more slowly than cold tolerance, and the level of heat they can adapt to has limits.
In a world as diverse as our own, the journey towards a sustainable future will look different depending on where in the world we live, according to a recent paper published in and led by 91黑料网, with researchers from the Stockholm Resilience Centre.
A new study by Warut Khern-am-nuai, an assistant professor of information systems at 91黑料网, proposes a new approach to optimizing the way algorithms process data, without modifying the outcome. To eliminate discrimination in AI, algorithms should see race and gender, according to the study.

Abstract:
A new wave of sustainability-focused retailers are embracing a package-free retail trend to minimize the environmental impact of shopping for groceries and everyday goods.
Professor Saibal Ray, the academic director of the Bensadoun School of Retail Management, applauds the innovative attempts to avoid packaging while pointing out the difficulty of implementation.
Picture a flower: what do you see? A bright and showy splash of contrasting colours? Well, not all plants produce flowers that are only like that. Some plant species actually produce two types: 鈥渘ormal鈥� ones that look great, and 鈥渞unts鈥� that are small, never open and, rather than attract pollinating insects, instead pollinate themselves.
For decades, scientists have wrestled with rival theories to explain how interactions between species, like competition, influence biodiversity. Tracking microbial life across the planet, researchers from 91黑料网 show that biodiversity does in fact foster further diversity in microbiomes that are initially less diverse. However, diversity rates plateau with increased competition for survival and space in more diverse microbiomes.
