Soil Gas Field and Analytical Research at Tundra Sinclair Field

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) can deliver needed substantial emission reductions as we transition to alternative fuels. However, it is important to verify that CO2 being injected into the subsurface is well contained within the geologic container. This student will construct soil gas wells, as well as conduct surface monitoring research to define normal fluctuations of soil gases in soil, and compare to situations of expected leakage. This research will contribute to improved surface monitoring practice and better public acceptance of CCS, and will contribute toward the larger Tundra Sinclair CO2 Project initiative.

Development of multiple algorithmic solutions to aid in making platform for delivering unique and reliable insights on Employee Engagement for organizations

Pintellect is Enterprise Social Software that gives employees access to the thoughts and ideas of the organization’s influencers by encouraging them to share links to the internal files or external resources such as books, TED talks, podcasts, articles, etc. The objective for this project is to develop multiple algorithmic solutions for curated feed of content by department on the dashboard based on number of identified criteria. Specifically, the goal would be to design four different algorithms based on descriptive statistical analysis: (1) Identification of periodically top influencers in a given organization, (2) Periodic curated feeds of content by department, (3) Upvote weightage algorithm for different members of the organization who provide upvotes on the shared content, and (4) Logic for employee engagement statistics. After that, Curated e-mail summary would be designed periodically to send across in an organization.

Impact of dietary fibre and immune challenge on threonine requirements and pig robustness

Sub-clinical disease results in reduced growth and less efficient use of nutrients, resulting in substantial impact on profitability of pork producers. With the elimination of in-feed antibiotics for growth promotion it is increasingly important to understand the interaction between nutrition and health and nutrient requirements during disease challenge events. Feeding high-fibre feedstuffs reduces the efficiency of utilization of dietary threonine for growth in pigs due to an increase in endogenous threonine loss as a result of increased mucin production. The mucus layer serves to protect the intestinal mucosal surface against threats, such as enteric pathogens. In addition to mucin production, threonine is an important precursor for the synthesis of many acute phase proteins involved in the immune response. While an increased threonine requirement has been shown with increased fibre and with immune challenge, the interaction of these factors on threonine requirements is unknown. TO BE CONT’D

Super Varnishes for Aerospace Coatings

Organic coatings are used to protect surfaces in many prominent industries such as automotive and aerospace. The industrial partner has found it imperative to develop their varnish for aircraft interiors in-house. They have identified a “super varnish” that must have exceptional resistance to cracking, prevention of shrinkage and adhesion to wood substrates (grouped herein as material properties). Secondary “must-have” properties are non-flammability, self-healing characteristics and greener processes. Flammability resistance is critical in airplane parts; thus lowering of flammability via reduction of volatile organic content (VOC) or the use of additives is key. Reduction of VOC lends itself to greener processes (eg. water-borne coatings) such as suspension or emulsion polymerization. Also, low viscosity coating solutions that are afforded by our chemistry allows less solvent to be used, thereby reducing VOC. This proposal aims to use copolymers incorporating various functionalities to improve adhesion via controlled radical polymerization as the coating resin.

Optimisation de la régie de fertilisation du camerisier

Le camerisier, ou chèvrefeuille comestible (Lonicera caerulea), fait partie des cultures fruitières en émergence au Québec. Toutefois, bien que le camerisier soit cultivé au Québec depuis près d’une décennie, très peu d’information agronomique sur cette culture a été scientifiquement publiée jusqu’à maintenant. Dans l’optique de préciser la régie de la fertilisation pour la camerise, les objectifs généraux sont de 1) déterminer les apports en engrais optimaux pour maximiser les rendements et 2) comparer les effets d’un engrais minéral et d’un engrais organique sur le rendement en fruits. Les résultats de ce projet de recherche seront exclusifs et uniques puisque ceux-ci permettront d’identifier, pour une première fois de façon robuste (>3 ans de recherche), les besoins en éléments nutritifs du camerisier. Ce projet permettra d’établir des pratiques agricoles rentables favorisant, par le fait même, le renforcement d’une industrie axée sur le savoir et l’innovation.

Acoustic detection of fish presence and depth distribution at the FORCE tidal energy test site in the Bay of Fundy: assessing risk of interaction with tidal turbines

Tidal energy turbines are a new renewable energy technology that will be demonstrated at the FORCE test site in the Bay of Fundy. The potential negative effects of these turbines on fish are of high concern to industry, regulators, fishers, and other stakeholders. This research will use sonars attached to sensor platforms deployed on the sea floor at the FORCE tidal energy test site to evaluate the risk that tidal turbines pose to fish. Risk will be based on where fish are naturally located and where the turbines will be operating. We will also assess two different sonar types for monitoring effects on fish. The information produced by this work will directly inform the developers and regulators of this new industry and aid in developing monitoring guidelines for fish at tidal energy sites in Canada and abroad.

Assessment and Design Advancement of a Conjugate Anvil Hammer Mill

Since energy is the major concern in current and future mining operations, energy efficient technologies are a major focus for research and development. The CAHM machine was developed based on principals of energy efficient particle breakage by compression. The machine design was based on computer simulation and modeling results indicate the potential to reduce comminution energy requirements by 50% as compared to present technologies. CAHM simulations show that the technology can achieve high reduction ratios, consuming less specific power, which translates into energy efficient operation. However, to validate modeling results, experimental program that mimics CAHM particle breakage is needed. Outcomes of the planned research will lead to the development of a physical prototype of the CAHM as part of the future research

Formulation and clinical translation of a novel DOX-DelivraTM transdermal treatment for diabetic foot ulcers

This research project aims to develop a novel treatment for diabetic foot ulcers. Individuals with diabetes (3.4 million Canadians) exhibit impaired healing of acute wounds, and 15% (~510,000) are estimated to develop chronic non-healing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). DFUs precede 84% of all diabetes related lower leg amputations. Typical DFU treatment is excising devitalised tissue (debridement) and pressure relief (offloading) as a mean to postpone amputation. Novel therapies for DFUs are applied topically to the surface of wounds however clinical testing of such formulas has yielded limited effects on healing. In addition, these products are confined to the wound surface and may have a limited penetration into the skin. The antibiotic, doxycycline (DOX), can potentially promote wound healing in DFUS and Delivra Inc. has commercialized a novel transdermal delivery system, DelivraTM, which can introduce various drugs through the skin. We hypothesize that a DOX-DelivraTM formulation can generate a long-term stable drug product with pre-clinical and clinical efficacy.

Co-operatives in rural and remote communities in Canada’s North

Attracting and retaining employees in rural and remote areas is difficult due to the isolated nature of the communities. These communities, however, need places to shop for food, clothing and commercial goods and that is where local co-operatives come in. Local co-operatives are businesses that support their communities, but who is interested in working in these isolated communities? How can these businesses attract new employees? This project will look into what makes these co-operative businesses attractive to new employees and how can these businesses keep those employees they already have happy. We will examine how the board of directors can best support employees in their engagement with the business. Finally, as these communities are so remote the entire community plays a role in supporting these businesses, so we will look into how communities are engaged and supportive of their local co-operative business. The outcomes from this project will be video training tools that will help these co-operatives build-up their employees, their businesses and their communities.

Enhancing exercise capacity and performance in elite Wheelchair Rugby athletes by targeting stroke volume

This project aims to assess a number of novel exercise training techniques to improve exercise performance in elite Canadian Wheelchair Rugby athletes. The first training technique to be assessed is training in the heat, a condition that many Wheelchair Rugby players may have difficulty competing in, to lead to adaptations that will improve performance in the heat. The second is to train athletes using a combination of arm cycling and passive leg cycling to increase the hearts response to exercise and induce changes in heart structure & function and potentially exercise performance. Finally, we will examine how training respiratory muscles – which are weakened in many Wheelchair Rugby athletes – can benefit exercise performance among Team Canada athletes. Ultimately, the program aims to assist the Canadian National Wheelchair Rugby team achieve future Paralympic success.
