Microchemical techniques to evaluate priority contaminant sources along the migration routes of Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch)

Adult Chinook and Coho Salmon migrate to a variety of marine regions around the North Pacific. Along these migration routes, the contaminants they encounter and consume will vary. These returning salmon are consumed by humans and Southern Resident Killer Whales, and the health risk they pose will be dependent on their migration routes and diets. Otolith microchemistry provides a record of where salmon have been throughout their lives. By comparing the microchemistry of returning salmon to the microchemical profiles of various marine regions, we can determine the migration route undertaken by each individual salmon and relate that to its contaminant load. We propose to compare the microchemical profile of various marine regions to returning Chinook and Coho Salmon to determine the different contaminant loads associated with migration routes and diet.

EFFECT OF DAM-ROCK INTERFACE IRREGULARITY OF THE SEISMIC RESPONSE OF GRAVITY DAMS

Dam failures may lead to catastrophic consequences, extending far beyond the immediate neighbourhood of the dam site due to sudden reservoir release or overtopping. The main objectives of this research project are: (i) to apply state-of-the-art simulation tools to investigate the seismic response of a real dam in Quebec to formulate guidelines on the significance of including the effects of the irregularity of dam-rock interface and vertical component of earthquakes in the evaluation of the seismic response of dams. Selected monoliths of the dam are investigated under stochastically uncorrelated horizontal and vertical acceleration components corresponding to seismic hazard in Eastern Canada. A particular attention is devoted to the effect of the irregularity of dam-rock interface. Extensive transient analyses are conducted to obtain response indicators including displacements, shear forces, and tangential displacements at the joints and dam-foundation interfaces. The methodologies and the obtained results are synthesized in a technical report

Moving evidence into practice: using knowledge transfer to improve the care of individuals with lymphedema

The purpose of this partnership between the University of Alberta and the Canadian Lymphedema Framework (CLF) is to support the CLF’s mission to promote best practices in risk reduction, early diagnosis and treatment of lymphedema. Lymphedema is a swelling that occurs in a limb or body region as a result of damage to the lymphatic system. Currently, it is estimated that over 1 million Canadians suffer from lymphedema, with a significant proportion developing the disease secondary to cancer and/or cancer treatment. With support from the University of Alberta, a qualified expert postdoctoral fellow will provide the CLF with the needed expertise in research to facilitate the development of Clinical Practice Guidelines for Lymphedema and an evidence-based learning series for healthcare professionals in both official languages. As the CLF is in a time of leadership transition, this partnership will allow the organization to explore its future leadership needs.

Sécuriser l’approvisionnement en biomasse forestière et assurer la stabilité des coûts: Enjeux et solutions d’affaires

La bioénergie est l’énergie produite à partir de biomasse. Dans sa Politique énergétique 2030, le gouvernement du Québec vise une augmentation de 50% de la production de la bioénergie par rapport à 2013; il s’engage à soutenir particulièrement la production de bioénergie provenant de la biomasse forestière. Mais cette filière tarde à se déployer au Québec. Une des barrières principales à l’adoption et au déploiement de la bioénergie au Québec est la complexité, réelle ou perçue, pour mettre en place des chaines d’approvisionnement en biomasse forestière. Même en présence d’une volonté politique certaine soutenant la bioénergie, des projets tardent à se concrétiser.
La compagnie Combustion Expert Énergie est déjà active comme fournisseur de solutions technologiques pour la production de chaleur à partir de biomasse. Elle souhaite développer une compréhension plus fine des enjeux liés aux chaines d’approvisionnement en biomasse forestière, situées en amont de ses activités industrielles actuelles.
Le but recherché est d’identifier les lacunes de la filière de la bioénergie et les opportunités de développement d’affaires pour combler ces lacunes, en vue de soutenir la réalisation de projets de bioénergie au Québec.

Solid Waste Management Best Practices: cost effective options to sustainably manage solid waste in the Peace River Regional District

The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) and the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC), are collaborating on the development of a solid waste management plan (SWMP) whose foundation is based on the five “R”s as outlined in A Guide to Solid Waste Management Planning (2016) produced by the British Columbia Ministry of Environment1. The hierarchy of the five R approach is: reduce, resuse, recycle, recover, residuals. While strategies have been put in place by the PRRD to encourage the reduce and reuse initiatives, this proposal focusses on the recycle and recover aspects. The PRRD and UNBC wish to conduct preliminary feasibility studies to explore means to i) Increase the diversion of solid waste generated in the PRRD and its byproducts; ii) commercialize out-of-district recycling and post-recycling production so that the PRRD may become a leader in SWM by processing recyclables that were previously destined for foreign countries.

Life Cycle Assessment to Inform Potential for Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes in Canada’s LNG Industry

The Paris Agreement, which was signed in December 2015 and went into effect in November 2016, outlines a framework for a new market mechanism that could to incentivize countries to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions: internationally transferred mitigation outcomes (ITMOs). ITMOs enable countries to transfer emissions reduction credits between countries to efficiently find those areas where emissions could be reduced most efficiently and cost-effectively, thus resulting in greater net reductions globally. However, it remains unclear whether ITMOs can be created and implemented by Canadian energy producers, and what this could mean for energy producers. In this project, one intern will research the feasibility of ITMOs for Canada’s LNG industry, using the export of BC LNG to China as an example. The intern will conduct life cycle analyses (LCAs) of different fuel sources to determine whether the export of BC LNG to China could result in a net emissions reduction under different scenarios. The partner organization (FortisBC) will benefit from a deeper understanding of whether and how it could implement ITMOs to gain a return on investment for upstream emissions reductions and create competitive advantages.

The politics of clinical trials in a pandemic: The role of the blood service indeveloping a treatment for COVID-19

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, hundreds of clinical trials are currently ongoing to evaluate the effectiveness of convalescent plasma derived from individuals who have recovered from COVID-19. As a licensed plasma collector for transfusible plasma and the National blood operator (outside Quebec), Canadian Blood Services has consequently taken on a unique role in several nationally and internationally coordinated clinical trials. This project will generate critical knowledge to explore the experiences and key challenges faced by Canadian Blood Services related to when and how to partner with a variety of actors within the clinical trials landscape. Our findings will thus inform the development of clinical trials governance policies, processes, and Formulaire de demande Mitacs Accélération Mitacs-SSHRC Joint Initiative- Accelerate Proposal Streamline Application V01_2018 20 of 22 www.mitacs.ca protocols at Canadian Blood Services aimed at ensuring research integrity, public accountability, and equitable allocation of plasma products.

High-temperature mineralisation: example of the Mythril Cu-Au-Mo-Agmagmatic-hydrothermal system

Metals extraction is essential to society and to Québec’s economy, and gold is one of the main economic substance that the Province in renowned for. Gold mineralization is formed by processes involving hydrothermal fluids and these processes are not fully understood. For example, the source of the fluids, copper and gold are still hotly debated, which hinders efficient and reasonable exploitation of coppergold mineralization. This project focuses on a yet unrecognized style of copper-gold mineralization in the Baie James area that may be related to magmatic activity and that may have formed at depth in the crust. Revealing the metallogenic model for such deposit will galvanize exploration and economic activity in northern Québec and improve our fundamental understanding of Earth’s early evolution. This project is thus economically important. It will also contribute to maintain Québec and Canada as leaders in copper-gold exploration.

Finding Permanency for Children/Youth in Care Project

Achieving permanency for children and youth placed in out-of-home care enables them to form loving, consistent relationships, a sense of connectedness and belonging to their family and community, and a stable place that they call ‘home’. Permanency is critical to the well-being of placed children and youth now and in the future. This proposed study examines the outcomes for children/youth placed in permanent arrangements and their (new) families as a result of the Family Finders pilot project at Family and Children’s Services of Guelph and Wellington County. It will determine whether permanency has been achieved and its effects on outcomes for placed children/youth, as well as the characteristics, motivations and experiences of permanent families. This internship will enable this child protection agency to further refine and develop procedures that facilitate permanency and build their evidence-based practice and research capacity.
