Investigation of Pore-scale Mechanisms of Applying CO2 Huff-and-Puff to Enhance Shale Gas Recovery with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

Considering the unique properties of CO2 under supercritical condition, CO2 is proposed to be used in huff-and-puff treatments to enhance shale gas recovery from shale gas formations. This research project will look at the fundamental pore-scale mechanisms when CO2 huff-and-puff is used for enhancing methane recovery from shale formations. In order to obtain pore-scale mechanisms of applying CO2 huffand-puff to enhance shale gas recovery, a series of CO2 huff-and-puff experiments will be conducted in conjunction with the NMR measurements. Meanwhile, the effect of wettability, injection pressure, operating temperature, permeability, and water saturation on shale gas recovery will also be evaluated. After finishing this research, we will reveal the pore-scale mechanisms of CO2 huff-and-puff in enhancing shale gas recovery, provide pragmatic guidelines for effectively carrying out CO2 huff-and-puff in the field, and also explore the technical feasibility of CO2 storage in shale formations.

Designing a safe, non-intrusive game for children to potentially detect Child Sexual Abuse (CSA)

Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) is a universal problem. It produces lifelong ill effects. Children should be made aware of it and educated about protecting themselves. They need easy ways to recognize and express attempts of CSA. This project aims to design an educational game that
creates awareness in children about CSA. It will be conducted in Canada and India to study how cultural differences might influence the design. Children will not be directly involved in the research. Parents, guardians, and other interested adults in Canada and India will be surveyed
to gather requirements for the design of the game. They will also participate in the design through focus group sessions to be conducted in Toronto and Bangalore. It is hoped that the resulting game will be helpful in making children more savvy about CSA.

The Symbiosis between State and Church in Text and Practice of Esoteric Buddhism in 8th Century China

The spread of Buddhism brought to encounter Indic and Sinitic cultural systems, the two of most disparate civilizations in the world. After hundreds of years of continuous contact and communication, a Buddhist sect that is most characteristically Indian and most alien to the Chinese flourished in China, which came to be known as Esoteric Buddhism or Buddhist tantra. More remarkably, it realized the closest cooperation
between the state and church that has ever seen throughout Chinese history. So far, scholarly efforts remain general and speculative to understand that phenomenon, and, although yielding some insights, the scholarship awaits verification and reassessment with historically empirical studies. In view that the primary sources have never been fully exploited and that it happened around a turning point of Chinese history, when momentous changes happened in almost every aspects of the society, the proposed project would be based on chronological examination of various primary sources and their interpretations in the specific historical context. The study extends from my doctoral research and would supplement it in discussion on related critical issues.

Democracy in Authoritarianism: Public Participation in Biosafety, Biodiversity, and Climate Change politics in China

My dissertation looks into China’s three environmental policy domains, including climate change, biodiversity and biosafety (GMOs), to investigate how China’ environmental diplomacy, economic interest and political concerns of legitimacy and stability intersect to condition public
participation and its effectiveness in affecting policy decisions. It seeks to illuminate not only why authoritarian regime embraces deliberation and public participation, but also how much democracy an authoritarian China can take without having to resort to suppression. While trying
to map out the distribution and evolution of public opinion mobilization on the three environmental issues, my dissertation also aims to shed light on the agency of key political actors in shaping China’s environmental governance from civil society organizations, international NGOs, media (traditional and mass media), and even within the government.

Large-Scale Purification of Antifungal Oxylipids via High-Speed Counter Current Chromatography (HSCCC) and Their Identification Using Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS)

Phyto-pathogenic fungi are one of the main concerns threatening agriculture in Canada. Those phyto-pathogens not only affect the yield and the quality of agricultural products, but their metabolite, represented by mycotoxins, will also endanger food safety. In the pursuit of innovative environmental-friendly fungicides, oxylipid is of great research-importance because oxylipid with specific structures can act as an antifungal compound as well as a self-defense signaling molecule at the same time. Some monohydroxy fatty acid, have been proven to be very active in inhibiting foodborne pathogenic fungi in vivo and in vitro; however, their application in plants is limited by the low yield of purified products. Therefore, this project aims to explore a large-scale purification technology, i.e. high-speed counter current chromatography (HSCCC) to
purify the target antifungal oxylipid, and use liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technology to identify those products. Large amount of purified antifungal compounds will be generated for further application in plant, and their potential usage as innovative environmentally friendly fungicide will be fully explored.

Exploring the Connections Between Traditional Chinese Martial Arts, Medicine, and Religion

Under the supervision of Dr. Jean DeBernardi my research explores the connections between traditional Chinese religion, martial arts, and medicine. I did my MA thesis on the modernization of traditional Chinese religion in Taiwan, have been practicing White Crane kung fu since 1999, and worked for the Natural Health Practitioner of Canada. I am examining the role that culture plays in creating different conceptualization of health. Particularly, I am looking at how cultural and religious concepts in Daoism and Buddhism shape perceptions and experiences of the body. For comparative purposes I am doing fieldwork at Frank Lee’s Muai Thai Kick Boxing and MMA in Edmonton and at Wudang Mountain in Hubei province, China. Wudang Mountain is world renowned as a center for Chinese martial arts and is the divine birthplace of Xuan Wu, a martial god in traditional Chinese religion.

Adaptation de la procédure SSFR aux exigences industrielles

Les alternateurs jouent un rôle très important dans la stabilité et la performance des réseaux électriques. Lors de la mise en service d’un alternateur, plusieurs essais doivent être effectués afin de valider la fiabilité du produit. Le transporteur d’énergie requiert que les paramètres électriques de l’alternateur soient mesurés. La procédure actuelle d’identification de paramètre consistant à provoquer des courts-circuits
brusques sur la machine comporte plusieurs désavantages. Le principal risque est d’endommager la machine. ALSTOM Énergies Renouvelables Canada Inc. souhaite proposer une procédure d’identification alternative aux producteurs d’énergie. Le potentiel la procédure SSFR (Standstill Frequency Response) a été démontré à maintes reprises. Par exemple, plusieurs essais ont été réalisés dans le cadre d’un partenariat entre Alstom Énergie Renouvelables et le laboratoire LEEPCI de l’université Laval [6], [9]. Le projet présenté a pour but l’adaptation d’une procédure SSFR, développée au LEEPCI, aux exigences du partenaire industriel. Pour ce faire, l’étudiant doit maîtriser cette procédure pour ensuite concevoir un système automatisé de mesures permettant aux techniciens d’Alstom d’effectuer des mesures SSFR.

Family Ties in Monastic’s Lives: A Study of Contemporary Monasticism in Beijing

The project investigates the practices of contemporary Buddhist Monastics in relation to their interaction and communication with family members. The question to be investigated is: To what extent, if at all, do contemporary monastics maintain relationships with living family members? The research will focus, in particular, on ways that family is understood in this context and the influence, if any, that modern technology has on relationships between monastics and their families. The research will entail studying autobiographies of contemporary Chinese monastics as well as conducting in-depth interviews with five practicing Buddhist Monks residing in Beijing, China. Beyond simply illuminating the
ways that family works in religion, this project should help us to better understand the contemporary Chinese religions generally.

Imagining the Human Interior: Religious and Medical Perspectives on the Body in Present-Day China

My research project will focus around the following question: what relationships exist between religious models of the human body—primarily Buddhist and Daoist—and medical practices and beliefs? To explore this topic I will study primary and secondary materials, participate in meetings with my host university supervisor, Chen Ming with the assistance of Dr. Susan Andrews from my home institution, and conduct on-site research in a traditional Chinese medical clinic. I will also take part in UBC’s Buddhism Summer Studies program. This research project will result in the creation of an annotated bibliography, a research paper to be written in the fall of 2016, and a presentation at a student research symposium. These outcomes will aid in sharing my new knowledge with the larger Mount Allison and larger Sackville community.
