The Feasibility of Using Dried Black Soldier Fly Larvae (Hermetia illucens) in Laying hen Diets

Soybean is the main source of protein in poultry diets while its production results in significant global greenhouse gas emissions. A potential substitute for the use of soybean could be insects like black soldier fly larvae (BSFL; rich in protein and fat) produced from food wastage. Dried BSFL has been approved by CFIA for use in broiler diets but has not yet been approved to be used in laying hen diets in Canada because of the lack of required data.
A feeding trial with BSFL (control, 10%, 20%) will be carried out to assess the feasibility and safety of the use of larvae in layer diets. Results of our study would facilitate the registration of dried BSFL as a feedstuff in layer diets by Enterra Feed Corporation. TO BE CONT’D

Borders in Globalization – Vision for facilitating multi-modal preclearance in Southern Vancouver Island

Canada and US governments have committed to establishing preclearance for land, rail and sea travelers in a manner similar to that for air travel. While the primary reason for this is security, preclearance presents an opportunity to streamline journeys for travelers thereby creating better travel experiences and reputations for destinations.
The federal governments have agreed to implement preclearance in BC for those land, sea and rail gateways where U.S. Customs and Border Patrol already provide pre-inspection services. In Victoria, this currently only covers ferry services to Port Angeles and Seattle through Belleville Terminal.
The objective of this proposed research is to generate a report for Tourism Victoria and its stakeholders which examines the economic and social impact of preclearance for tourism in Victoria and the Saanich Peninsula including U.S. tourism growth projections, interest from operators and port operators, benefits to the region, information about CBP and CBSA priorities and concerns.

Benefits of yeast derived mannan-oligosacchride supplementation on piglet gut microbial profiles and health

Increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance is becoming a major public health concern and is linked to use of sub-therapeutic antibiotics in agriculture. Sub-therapeutic antibiotics have been used for years in swine production to mitigate diarrheal diseases observed at weaning. Thus, development of alternative nutritional strategies to minimize sub-therapeutic antibiotic use is vital. Mannan-oligosaccharides may be useful as a feed additive to mitigate post-weaning diarrheal diseases. Mannan-oligosaccharides are unique in that they are thought to function by stimulating the immune system to bind and remove pathogens. However, the effects of direct supplementation of mannan-oligosaccharides on piglet gut microbiota and health has not yet been explored. The objective of this study is to determine the effects of a yeast derived mannan-rich fraction on piglet gut microbial profiles and gut health. This research will directly benefit Alltech by measuring the health benefits of their mannan-oligosaccharide for pigs.

Quantitative assessment of risks involved in mechanized skiing in Canada

Helicopter and snowcat skiing in the backcountry involves different hazards such as avalanches, tree wells or helicopter incidents, which can result in serious injuries or even death. While the risk associated with avalanche involvements is well understood, no systematic analyses have been conducted on the other risks. In this project, we will gather all the historic information about serious accidents which has been recorded by member operators of HeliCat Canada (trade association of the helicopter and snowcat skiing industry) to quantitatively determine the risks associated with the various hazards. The results will help operators to better address existing operational weaknesses and develop evidence based approaches for reducing the risks for guides and guests while travelling in the backcountry.

Characteristics of PM2.5 in Prince George neighborhoods for personal monitoring purposes

Reports of air monitoring since 1994 show the annual average PM2.5 concentration in the Prince George airshed is one of the highest in the province. Although a large effort is underway to monitor ambient levels of PM2.5 , there has been no systematic study on personal exposure at the neighborhood level. Furthermore, there are no data on chemical composition (in particular elemental analysis) of PM2.5 in the neighborhoods. The main objective of this research project is to collect air samples using personal air samplers in order to characterize PM2.5 mass and particle number concentrations (PNCs) and quantify the chemical composition of PM2.5 in different neighborhoods in the city of Prince George, BC. The outcomes from this study will help to assess the success rate of the city and local industries of implementing new measures to reduce emissions of air pollutants into the airshed. TO BE CONT’D

Évaluation du niveau de développement des maquettes numériques du BIM pour les sous-traitants de la construction au Québec

Le passage au numérique de l’industrie de la construction marque une transformation radicale des méthodes de travail et processus associés à la technologie. Afin de tirer les meilleurs avantages de ce changement technologique, et plus particulièrement de l’utilisation du BIM (Building Information Modeling), de nombreuses recherches ont étés menées en partenariat avec les concepteurs et gestionnaires de projets, cependant très peu sont menées au niveau de l’implémentation du BIM chez les entrepreneurs spécialisés alors que ce sont ces derniers qui réalisent la construction.
Le lien entre le niveau de développement (LOD) des maquettes 3D et les bénéficies pour les entrepreneurs spécialisés reste à définir. De plus, les informations et niveau de détails requis des maquettes numériques ne sont pas toujours fournis par les concepteurs. TO BE CONT’D

Numerical Simulation of Two Phase Gas-Liquid flow in hydrocarbon liquid transportation pipelines

Current Computational Pipeline Modeling based leak detection systems can not accurately predict the leaks in the pipeline when crude oil goes though phase change (column separation) along the 100s of kms long pipeline (due to hills and valleys). The objective of this project is to gain fundamental insight into the two phase gas-liquid flow physics in hydrocarbon liquid transportation pipelines that transport crude oil with various physical properties of crude and with various elevations. The data obtained from the numerical simulation studies performed during the project, will be analyzed for the onset of the phase change, accurate prediction of each phase for various aspect ratios of pipeline and pipeline sizes, and elevations. The Post doc hired for this project will benefit from expanding the knowledge gained at the university and apply it to the real industry related problem. TO BE CONT’D

Extension of Capabilities for the Measurement Radio Propagation Parameters in Cluttered 5G Coverage Scenarios

Work conducted during this project will involve the extension and further development of existing methods for detailed measurement and subsequent modelling of radiowave propagation characteristics in indoor environments at extremely high frequencies. Results will enable the determination of the powers, time delays, and angles of arrival of waves incident upon a receive antenna over direct, reflected, and diffracted paths between a transmit antenna and a receive antenna. Results from mathematical and statistical modelling based on the knowledge of wave parameters from the analysis of measurements can be used for improved efficiency and accuracy in the design of 5 G Wireless systems for greater information carrying capacity and more reliability. Research will also be conducted on the design of surfaces that can be deployed to enhance the reflection of waves around objects and through interfaces to achieve lower transmission loss, and therefore better-quality communication channels.
