M.Sc. Master Thesis: The Dynamic of Incoterms Selection and Supply Chain Finance Performance

For a pharmaceutical company, it is important to source the finest raw materials (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) available at the best possible prices. With the advancement of globalization and the improvement of cross-broader trades, an increasing number of companies are reducing their acquisition costs of raw materials by sourcing globally. In order to stay competitive, Pharmaceutical companies should therefore effectively select the most appropriate Incoterms for each supplier based on origins/destinations consideration; while balancing its day-to-day operating cash flow exposure thereby improving its Supply Chain Finance performance. This research project attempts to present the link between the relevancy and importance of strategic Incoterms selection and Supply Chain Finance performance, two areas of international trades that are often overlooked and turns them into an extremely relevant topic for all Canadian manufacturers.

Identifying potential approaches to managing water resources in Champagne and Aishihik First Nations’ Traditional Territory, Yukon

Yukon Energy Corporation (YEC) began generating hydro-electricity at the Aishihik Hydro Facility, situated within Champagne and Aishihik First Nations’ (CAFN) Traditional Territory, Yukon, in 1975. Their continuing water use license will expire in 2019. Notwithstanding the Aishihik facility’s 41 years of energy production, CAFN has repeatedly expressed social and environmental concerns associated with the facility’s operation. This proposed work will identify potential approaches to addressing community concerns, enhance cooperation between CAFN communities and YEC, and develop a receptive framework for incorporating traditional knowledge in water management decision-making processes. It ensures not just timely relicensing but also effective long-term co-management of the water resources with CAFN that the Aishihik Hydro facility depends on. Moreover, these developments create opportunities for YEC to learn and adapt as an organization. This research will also document and enhance YEC’s ongoing institutional learning, enabling YEC to make the most out of these significant opportunities.

Progress towards a new technique for aptamer sensor development and analysis

Aptamer based sensor development can be challenging. While aptamer selection has provided a very useful method of producing molecules that selectively bind compounds of interest to the fields of public health, regulatory control and legal enforcement, the steps required for incorporation of aptamers into sensors are not trivial. Specifically, gaging how well aptamers bind their target and determining how aptamer modification for sensor incorporation may affect their properties have slowed down the commercialization of this technology. This project seeks to work hand in hand with industry in the development of aptamer based sensors through the development of new methods for aptamer characterization.

Identifying Stakeholders’ Values in British Columbia’s Pacific Herring Fishery

Pacific herring, as forage fish, provide a vital ecosystem service within marine food webs, as well as economic benefits to BC’s commercial herring industry and cultural benefits to coastal Aboriginal communities. Building on innovative participatory research in Haida Gwaii, this project will identify the values of BC herring industry stakeholders and their preferences for management. Debates about a fishery’s management typically ignore such normative considerations, focusing instead on descriptive biological and economic indicators, such as fish biomass and profit. Deeper ethical issues underlie BC’s herring conflict, such as distribution of benefits, conflicting stakeholder values, and differing perceptions of legitimacy in governance. TO BE CONT’D

Measurement of dewatering properties during compressive filtration of difficult to treat mineral tailings

This project will combine filtration characterization and advanced 3D imaging and modelling of material structures to find ways to improve the recovery of process water from difficult-to-treat tailings that are the by-product of mining and mineral processing. This process is called solid-liquid separation and it is a critical area for the reduction of oil sands tailings volumes. Due to the chemistry and solids composition of oil sands tailings, they are extremely resistant to dewatering. Attempts to improve solid-liquid separation in these systems have been pursued by practitioners and researchers in the form of a variety of chemical and mechanical treatment methods. Despite modest gains and comparative improvements in water recovery and ultimate material performance, no mature technology has been developed that adequately addresses the dewatering imperative imposed by environmental, social, and economic factors. This proposal suggests a novel approach to characterizing tailings suspension that may be the basis for the development or improvement of solid-liquid separation treatment methods and technology.

Creating a Positive Safety Culture and Continuous Improvement in Alberta’s Construction Industry

To create the impetus for industry-level improvements in safety, the COAA has embarked on an initiative “Twice as Safe, Twice as Productive by 2020”. The purpose of this project is to support this initiative by understanding the safety cultures and the levels of maturity across the construction industry and motivating improvements in all Albertan construction companies. This will be accomplished by first surveying individuals working for owner companies, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers. The findings will allow us to understand where to focus efforts to build strengths and mitigate cultural misperceptions, issues and or voids.

Évaluations du potentiel de production de saumon atlantique et fragmentation de leur habitat naturel

Ce projet vise le développement d’un Indice de Qualité d’Habitat (IQH) du saumon basé sur une classification de faciès d’habitats à partir de photos aériennes récentes. L’approche repose sur 1) la modélisation et la cartographie à grande échelle de la bathymétrie et de la vitesse de l’écoulement sur des rivières à saumon types du Québec, et 2) le transfert de courbes de préférences de l’échelle du micro-habitat vers l’échelle des faciès sur ces rivières. De plus, une nouvelle méthode de calcul de la superficie de production sera développée de façon à tenir compte de la connectivité entre les habitats utilisés par le saumon lors de ses stades de vie successifs (fosse, frayère, nourricerie, tacon), celle-ci étant fonction de la distance entre les habitats et de la présence possible d’infranchissables. À terme, la méthode servira d’outil de gestion pour l’ensemble des rivières du Québec.

Biomass pyrolysis in a vertical auger reactor and the valorisation of co-products: An energy balance based on the life cycle approach

Pyrolysis, which is the thermochemical decomposition of biomass at high temperature (350 to 700°C) under oxygen-limiting conditions, is a promising technology for the sustainable management of forest and agricultural biomasses. Pyrolysis decomposes biomass into biochar, non-condensable syngas and condensed liquid bio-oil. Those co-products can be used as an energy source in order to replace fossil fuels. Moreover, biochar can be used as a soil amendment to improve soil properties, sequester carbon and reduce soil greenhouse gas emissions. However, depending on operating parameters and characteristics of the co-products, energy consumption and production can differ. The general objective of this internship project is to establish the global energy balance of pyrolysis system, from biomass collection to the use of co-products, based on the technology developed by the IRDA and the CRIQ in Québec, Canada. It is expected that more energy is produced than consumed by the overall pyrolysis system.

Budget impact analysis for single stage breast implantation reconstruction in women with a mastectomy

Women with breast cancer often undergo mastectomy, or removal of the breast. Afterwards, they may elect to reconstruct their breast using one of several methods. One of these methods is by implantation with a permanently adjustable prosthesis. This procedure may show a smaller budgetary impact compared to multi-staged implantation. This project will estimate the budgetary impact to the government or hospital with a Mentor Spectrum permanently adjustable prosthesis, manufactured by Johnson & Johnson Medical Companies, in post-mastectomy women under a scenario of projected future use, using epidemiological, economic and preference estimates on the use of breast implantation with a permanently adjustable prosthesis. This will benefit the Johnson & Johnson Medical Companies by providing valuable information to be used show a hospital or the government any budgetary impact.

Development of zero VOC solvents based on organic carbonate compounds

major contributor to smog formation is the release of volatile chemicals which are emitted from many sources including automobile exhaust and consumer products. To combat the adverse effects smog has on air quality in North America, agencies such as Environment and Climate Change (Canada) and the Environmental Protection Agency (United States) enforce limits on the types and amounts of chemicals used in industrial applications and consumer products. Replacing chemicals that are known to contribute heavily to smog formation, with environmentally friendly chemicals are highly sought after targets. Mineral spirits are a widely prevalent chemical in consumer products and industrial processes that contributes significantly to VOC emissions. We propose to work with TBF Environmental to develop an environmentally friendly alternative to mineral spirits, which will reduce harmful smog emissions when used in place of mineral spirits.

Powder Morphology Effect Assessment on Cold Spray Process for Repair and Additive Manufacturing Applications

Cold Spray is a coating additive manufacturing process relying on the particle kinetic, with particles plastically deforming upon impact with the substrate and adhering to it. While the production of thin aluminum/aluminum alloys coatings (below 1mm) by Cold Spray is fairly common, the production of thick coatings (> 1mm) and large net-shape parts has been more challenging. Equispheres patent-pending atomization technology produces free-flowing, uniform spherical metal powders, with narrow particle size distribution, excellent sphericity and flowability. As such, it is envisioned that their process could be used to produce aluminum feedstock powders with the proper specifications to prevent any of the issues encountered when trying to produce thick aluminum coatings/parts by Cold Spray.
The general program objective is to study, evaluate and compare the potential of various commercially available aluminum feedstock powders (including Equispheres) to be used in the Cold Spray process to produce dense thick coatings.TO BE CONT’D

Policy implementation through Collective Decision-Making – a case study of a collaborative community-level strategic planning process on immigrant settlement and integration services

The InterCultural Association (ICA) of Greater Victoria leads the establishment of Immigrant and Refugees Canada’s prominent multi-stakeholders strategy named ‘Local Immigration Partnership’ to engage diverse groups to better coordinate, avoid duplication, and enhance the current settlement and integration services aimed at immigrant well-being. This research will observe the process of community-level planning, particularly the development of outcome and performance measurement indicators towards a sustainable multi-level collaborative governance. Research findings will shed light on innovative forms of a collective and multi-stakeholder decision-making process that is formal, consensus-oriented, and deliberative and could potentially be replicated by other LIPs across Canada and/or similar multi-stakeholder development initiatives.
