Characterization of solid carbon black produced during methane pyrolysis process for applications in soil remediation

Carbon dioxide generated by burning fossil fuels is one of the major greenhouse gases responsible for the climate change. There is a world-wide effort to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In addition to renewable resources such as solar and wind power, hydrogen is emerging as a green energy source. The energy produced from hydrogen is a carbon-negative process. One of the processes to generate hydrogen is called pyrolysis. Pyrolysis of natural gas will generate hydrogen. In addition to hydrogen, carbon is collected as the primary byproduct of this process. The produced carbon byproduct is in the form of solid and is not being released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. The produced carbon can be modified for applications in the agricultural industry such as soil amendment to improve the crop yield. The results from this study will help Ekona to generate value-added product from their carbon waste.

Modelling long term dynamics of Mountain Pine Beetle under climate change

The long-term effects of climate change and outbreaks of mountain pine beetle (MPB) on forests in western Canada are not well understood. In this project, we will develop quantitative models to assess the impacts of climate change and forest resilience on MPB outbreaks and persistence in forests. These models will be informed by the MPB expertise of the partner organization and, where possible, computer code relating to these models will be made available through collaboration with the partner organization. This project will benefit from the synergistic relationship between the partner organization and the interns, in that the models developed will be informed by government and industry stakeholders, and the important results from the research will be more easily translated to those stakeholders.

Effets de l’intensité d’éclaircie commerciale et de la fertilisation sur la croissance et la productivité des pessières noires de l’ouest du Québec

L’éclaircie commerciale est un traitement sylvicole qui permet de répondre au besoin d’approvisionnement de l’industrie du bois en dégageant des volumes de bois à court terme et en améliorant la productivité et les rendements des peuplements à moyen-long terme. Un réseau régional de suivi des éclaircies commerciales couvrant l’ensemble du territoire d’Abitibi a été installé entre 1998 et 2003. L’objectif de ce réseau est de parfaire les prescriptions d’éclaircie en évaluant l’effet de différentes intensités d’éclaircie et différents traitements de fertilisation sur la production ligneuse des peuplements de pin gris et d’épinette noire de l’ouest du Québec. Ce dispositif expérimental permettra aussi de comparer les patrons de régénération observés dans les peuplements éclaircis et dans les peuplements naturels. Finalement, couplé à une étude en cours sur les effets de l’éclaircie et de la fertilisation sur la qualité du bois, les résultats de cette étude alimenteront les scénarios des analyses économiques.

Standardization of iPSC quality by optimization of the peripheral blood reprogramming process.

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) have been key in advancing the development of next generation therapies for hard-to-treat conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, heart disease and cancer. These unique cells have the potential to become any cell of the body which accounts for their importance in the field of regenerative medicine. It is crucial to tightly control the manufacturing of iPSCs to generate safe and effective cell products at industrial scale. The goal of this project is to optimize the process of somatic cell reprogramming into iPSCs which will ultimately have an impact on the time and cost for delivering cell therapies to patients.

Crustal architecture and rifting style of the offshore Nova Scotia Margin

We propose to investigate the crust and uppermost mantle structure of the offshore Nova Scotia margin with the aim of producing a comprehensive regional map of the rifting style along the margin to contribute to a better understanding of the margin geology and its significant variations from NE to SW. We will process the already acquired Line 3 from the Scotian Margin Transects (SMART) refraction seismic experiment with a geophysical inversion approach. Our result, in the form of a two-dimensional velocity model across the continental slope in the SW Nova Scotia margin, will be used to compare and integrate with already peer-reviewed published results from similar studies in the central and NE Nova Scotia margin. Net Zero Atlantic, a non-profit organization that leads transdisciplinary research projects to better understand the energy opportunities in the maritime provinces will benefit from gaining a better understanding of the rifting style and its variations along the margin, given that these are crucial to continuing exploring and assessing the energy opportunities and the risks associated with said opportunities.

Robust Islanding detection strategy for distributed generators

Concerning global warming and depletion of fossil fuel reserves, the integration of distributed energy generators into grids is rapidly increasing in the last decades. However, the distributed generators degrade power quality and may damage loads when islanding occurs in a part of the grid. To overcome these issues, all distributed generators must be equipped with anti-islanding detection and protection systems to shut down the distributed generator units in the islanded zones. Various anti-islanding detection strategies have been applied to the commercial grid-tie inverters also have been introduced in the literature. The major concerns and caveats of the employing anti-islanding strategy in grid-tie inverters are false anti-islanding detection, interference to other grid-tie converters operation, fast response, and dependency of anti-islanding detection strategy on grid parameters. Accordingly, in this project, an accurate, robust, safe, fast, and simple anti-islanding detection strategy for grid-connected inverters will be proposed and experimentally evaluated.

Transdisciplinary Multistakeholder Approach to Steering NetZero Transitions: Sociotechnical System Configurations for Modelling and Simulating Atlantic Canada’s Transition Pathways

In this project, inputs from the different stakeholders in the transition to Net Zero economy will be collected and analyzed to facilitate the development of simulation models that can inform policy making to steer this transition in the most efficient and effective way. Two sets of workshops will be organized, with invitees from academia, different industries (e.g., oil and gas, automotive, electric utilities) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to deliberate about opportunities and constraints to Net Zero transition initiatives. These deliberations will define scenarios, agents, behaviors and rules that characterise sociotechnical systems and transition pathways. …

Programming Techniques for QUBO Compatible Processors II

The main problem this internship project explores is the selection, conversion, and encoding of mathematical models that pertain to the finance industry for processing on available types of analog optimization processors. This research investigation aims to develop new algorithms and code that take advantage of an analog optimization process which acts as an “oracle” for a classical Turing Machine computer. This will be done by developing methods to translate a range of problems into the ideal form for currently available adiabatic annealing hardware. 1 QBit will develop software applications to translate problems into quadratic unconstra ined binary optimization (QUBO) problems, enabling a broader range of practical problems to be addressed by a computer that has access to an oracle that answers a problem via an annealing process. This project is part of 1 QBit’s exploration of how to best utilize an annealing oracle for various optimization problems. This research puts 1QBit and Canada in a leadership role as a software developer of this novel approach to computation and optimization.
