Ash as a soil amendment for low fertility farmlands: Impacts on soil fertility and heavy metals content

The CBPPL Company generates five tons of biomass ash daily as a byproduct of generating heat from their boiler. Currently, this waste is disposed of at the local landfill. However, it is acknowledged that the soil in the region is of low fertility and requires correction for agricultural purposes. Therefore, this document proposes a technical feasibility study to explore the potential of using ash as a soil amendment. The study will include the application of the ash and evaluation of soil fertility and contamination levels to ensure its safe and effective use. It is hoped that the results of this study will not only prevent the ash from being sent to the landfill but also fulfill the input requirements for local farmers.

Centre historique des Sœurs du Bon-Conseil – Documentation du patrimoine

Ce projet consiste à permettre à une étudiante inscrite au baccalauréat en histoire de l’UQAC de réaliser un stage de 4 mois au Centre historique des Soeurs du Bon-Conseil, une institution qui gère une vaste collection, témoin précieux de l’histoire de la Congrégation des Soeurs de Notre-Dame du Bon-Conseil au Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean. Ce stage vise à permettre à l’étudiante de mettre en pratique diverses aptitudes acquises en cours de formation et de vivre une expérience professionnelle concrète dans le champ de l’histoire publique, plus spécifiquement eu égard à la valorisation, la transmission et la préservation du patrimoine religieux. La stagiaire sera notamment appelée à compléter l’inventaire de la collection matérielle du centre mais aussi, à oeuvrer au traitement et au développement de son patrimoine immatériel (notamment via la réalisation d’entrevues avec des Soeurs de la Congrégation). Ce travail de mémoire et d’archivage s’inscrit dans le contexte d’une transition institutionnelle plus vaste de cette Congrégation qui, confrontée à l’obligation de vendre ses bâtiments dans quelques années, doit réfléchir à son avenir et au futur musée qu’elle deviendra.

Entrepreneurship and the Nova Scotia Business Hall of Fame

This project will support delivery of a major business event to celebrate business leadership and entrepreneurship in Nova Scotia – The Nova Scotia Business Hall of Fame (BHoF). The project will help to make stories of business leadership more inclusive and more accessible. In addition to supporting the BHoF event, the intern will identify a representative list (a subset) of business entrepreneurship success stories which is diverse and representative of the full Nova Scotia community. They will then design and deliver a documented collection of business entrepreneurship success stories (about 10-20 stories) in the form of an Open Education Resource text book which will be available digitally and for free. A repeatable business process for JA to collect and share entrepreneurship stories ongoing will also be explored and developed.

Mapping tenant displacement through lived experiences

In today’s housing crisis, many low income tenants are unjustly evicted and displaced from their homes. To date,
we have very little knowledge of how this happens and what this means to tenants, particularly outside big cities.
This project will disseminate research into displacement conducted in four communities across Ontario: Oxford
County, York Region, Kingston and Cornwall. The aim is to better understand the patterns and experiences of
displacement and to convey this knowledge to a wide audience. This will primarily be done in the form of a Story
Map, which combines mapping the loss of affordable housing with interactive stories, images and audio clips from
interviews with tenants who have recently been displaced. We will shed important light on three key questions: 1)
how displacement happens, 2) what this means for tenants who have been displacement, and 3) where tenants
end up moving to after they have been displaced and the experiences and conditions of this new housing. This
knowledge is essential to developing policies to combat the housing crisis and treat housing as shelter, rather
than a commodity. This project is a partnership between the University of Waterloo and the Social Planning
Network of Ontario.

Mitigating Phosphorous and Nitrogen in The Bay of Quinte Using Eggshell Bioreactors

The primary purpose of this project is to mitigate phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) runoff from agricultural lands in the Bay of Quinte Area of Concern (AOC) using passive reactors. These reactors are cheap and easy to construct and use waste eggshells as the main reactive material creating a useful product from a waste material. In laboratory studies and initial field studies these reactors have been shown the remove significant amounts of P from water that could cause algal blooms and other undesirable effects on water quality. This project will focus on optimizing larger scale versions of the reactors and addressing practical concerns for stakeholders using this technology. Additionally, this project will aim to help model and mitigate P inputs related to storm events that are increasing as a result of climate change.

Energy flexibility of residential buildings using electric heat storage

This project proposes to model the energy environment of a typical Canadian multi-dwelling building and to develop a mechanism for optimized management of the energy consumed under different operating conditions. The model will allow to simulate the energy needs during winter periods and to quantify the flexibility potentials. It will also explore management modes by considering new tariff structures while keeping adequate conditions for the occupants. The researchers will build the thermal model of an apartment block including thermal storage elements for each unit, perform the sizing of the thermal accumulators using convex optimization tools and evaluate the flexibility potential of the building in a heating system interruption scenario.

Resource Allocation in Integrated Terrestrial and Non-terrestrial Networks

Due to increasing demands for novel services, advancements in non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) are seen as an effective solution to complement terrestrial networks (TNs) in under-served areas. However, the high mobility of new users, e.g., autonomous cars, in addition to that of NTN platforms, will cause extreme signal fluctuations. The latter will lead to radio link failures caused, for instance, by late executed handovers, or inefficient uplink/downlink resource allocation. Moreover, the integrated NTN-TN infrastructure is dynamic in terms of resource availability and loitering time. This makes resource allocation in the integrated NTN-TN a challenging task. Consequently, we target in this project the development of novel and intelligent (machine learning-based) resource allocation schemes across the integrated TN-NTN, to maximize the capacity, energy efficiency, and loitering time, while accounting for the NTN-TN dynamicity and limited resources. Developed methods would enable the seamless integration of NTNs to TNs, identified as a key 6G paradigm.

Sustainable Management of Hazardous Material Transportation with Uncertainties and Disruption

Rooting in the present and aiming for the future, sustainability development has drawn more and more public attention lately. This proposed project focuses on embracing sustainability measures as the goal of managing hazardous material transportation. In more detail, we target the three pillars of sustainability, namely the economy, society, and environment, and incorporate them into constructing and managing an efficient and ecological logistics system for hazmat. Practical and adaptive solutions for locating facilities, allocating resources, planning shipping routes, and transportation policymaking will be examined and investigated without ignoring the inevitable uncertainties and unavailability in the real world. The key purpose of this research is to grasp a better understanding of the current transportation networks, develop a sustainable transportation system for hazardous materials, and serve the relevant stakeholders in achieving a sustainable future.

Population size and predation risk of Leach’s Storm-petrel (Hydrobates leucorhoa) nesting at Île-Bonaventure, Québec

Leach’s Storm-petrel are a small, wide-spread, pelagic seabird that have recently undergone population declines, they are listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN and Threatened in Canada. Populations of Leach’s Storm-petrel on the Gaspé Peninsula are very small and known from just two locations. Île Bonaventure, a migratory bird sanctuary and part of the Parc National de l’Île Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé is thought to have a small nesting population. The goal of this project is to complete the first recent population census of the nesting population of Leach’s Storm-petrel on this island, to delineate the nesting areas on the island, and assess the risk of predation from mammalian predators, specifically red fox, voles, mice, and weasels. The results of this project are key to understanding the nesting population on Île Bonaventure, to expand our knowledge of the species in Atlantic Canada, and will be used by managers to ensure proper conservation and management practices are implemented for the species on l’Île Bonaventure.
