Development of Analytical Techniques for Assessing the Numerical Stability of Multi-rate Electromagnetic Transient (EMT) Simulations

Electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulations are often used nowadays for analyzing the transient behaviour of power systems. However, due to the large size and complexity of modern-day power networks, simulating them in EMT programs can become excessively slow. Multi-rate simulation is one of the effective ways of speeding up EMT simulations. In this approach, only critical subnetworks of a system are simulated with small time-steps while relatively large time-steps are used for simulating the remaining (non-critical) parts. In the current literature, multi-rate simulation methods have been primarily investigated for their superior computational properties compared to the traditional single fixed time-step approaches. However, the numerical stability properties of such methods have not been effectively investigated. This research aims to address this gap by developing analytical techniques for assessing the numerical stability of multi-rate methods used in EMT simulations.

Designing guar gum-based hydrogels for promoting anti-adhesion and anti-infective skin wound healing

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a series of hereditary skin fragility conditions, currently without a cure, that are characterized by fragile skin that is prone blister formation in response to minor friction or trauma. Existing wound dressings are often too abrasive and/or stiff to effectively treat this condition without compromising healing, demanding new materials solutions to enable safe and effective dressing lift-off while maintaining the broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties required to prevent infections in the blisters that develop. In this project, the Hoare lab is partnering with Oligomaster Inc. to develop a new hydrogel-based solution to this challenge based on guar gum derivatives, which are highly lubricious to enable easy wound lift-off, and extracts of eremuran, a plant root extract of the eremurus plant that has been demonstrated to exhibit broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. We anticipate the materials to be developed will lead to improved treatment options for EB that meet the unique treatment needs of this patient group in addition to other patient groups that suffer from chronic and fragile wounds (e.g. diabetics).

Demographic, genetic, and physiological responses of woodland caribou to changes in habitat across a managed forest landscape.

Boreal Woodland Caribou is a species of conservation concern that faces challenges due to habitat alteration and landscape disturbances. This research project aims to explore how landscape disturbance and habitat quality affect demographics, genetics, and physiology of woodland caribou. Three subprojects focus on specific aspects: 1) understanding how landscape factors impact caribou population density, 2) assessing the effects of disturbances on population structure and gene flow, and 3) examining the influence of landscape condition on stress and pregnancy rates. The research integrates spatial analysis, genetic studies, and physiological measurements. It will analyze factors like forest composition, age, roads, wildfires, and harvests to understand their impact on caribou across the study area. Genetic analysis will assess connectivity, considering potential barriers like fires and roads. The third subproject will study stress and pregnancy rates by analyzing hormones in fecal samples. This comprehensive approach aims to provide insights into how woodland caribou respond to various landscape conditions, contributing to conservation efforts and helping formulate strategies for road decommissioning and rehabilitation. The research outcomes are crucial for understanding caribou habitat dynamics and supporting the provincial conservation strategy.

Novel Prediction of Watershed Peak Flow Across Logging and Climate Change Scenarios in the Redfish Creek Watershed

Recent findings expose the concerning sensitivity of hydrologic and geomorphic function to clearcut logging. Water quality, fish habitat, downstream infrastructure, and human lives are all suffering due to clearcut practices and climate change. This study will explore for the first time the differences between the effect of clearcut logging and more ecosystem friendly logging practices on flood risk. These logging scenarios will be compared in the Redfish Creek watershed in southeastern BC both using historically based, and climate projected weather data which will be simulated. Ground-breaking, watershed-scale spatial modelling will then be done, depicting environmentally friendly, clearcut, and no logging scenarios. This will showcase the flood risk differences in effects of logging with and without climate change projections. The partner has contributed to silvicultural research in the same watershed prior to this project, the culmination of these two pieces of research in separate fields will be beneficial to a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of logging in the hydroclimatic region where the research is taking place.

Causes and consequences of vateritic otoliths in hatchery-reared Coho Salmon

Coho Salmon use their ear bones, called otoliths, for hearing and balance. Sometimes, these ear bones can develop a deformity called vaterite, which results in severe hearing impairment. This deformity is significantly more common in salmon raised in hatcheries than those in the wild. Our project aims to determine what causes vateritic otoliths to form in hatchery-raised Coho Salmon and how it impacts their ability to survive. To do this, we will analyze otoliths collected from different Strait of Georgia hatcheries, conduct various experimental rearing trials at Goldstream hatchery, and PIT (passive integrated transponder) tag fish to track their survival. By doing this, we will be able to identify practices that contribute to vateritic otoliths and thus, help improve the success of Coho Salmon hatchery and conservation efforts.

Low Temperature Co-fired Solid Oxide Cells

A solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) is a device that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen. Water is decomposed into hydrogen gas and oxygen anions at the hydrogen electrode. The oxygen anions pass through the electrolyte to the air electrode, where they lose their electrons and convert to oxygen gas. The electrons travel through an external circuit to the hydrogen electrode and participate in the water decomposition reaction. The SOEC components are composed of various metallic and ceramic phases. The devices are fabricated at high temperatures (>1250°C) through a process known as sintering, where precursor powder particles are fused together by solid state diffusion. The high processing temperature presents significant materials engineering challenges, which can adversely affect performance and add to device cost. As such, the main goal of this project is to reduce the processing temperature. The hydrogen electrode will be prioritized. The main precursors for the hydrogen electrode are powders of NiO and ZrO2 doped with Y2O3. Particle type, size, and size ratio, as well as sintering temperature will be varied to determine optimal processing conditions for SOEC fabrication. Candidate SOECs will be tested through electrochemical and microstructural characterization methods to assess SOEC performance and to correlate performance…

Valorisation des bardeaux d’asphalte post-consommation (BAPC) dans les matériaux de construction de routes en milieu insulaire

Le projet, prenant place aux Îles-de-la-Madeleine, consiste à évaluer la performance géotechnique de bardeaux d’asphalte post-consommation conditionné dans du MR5, matériaux granulaires recyclés utilisés notamment par le ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité Durable pour les accotements routiers (MTMDQ). En effet, les bardeaux d’asphalte sont une matière résiduelle problématique aux Îles-de-la-Madeleine puisqu’environ 400 tonnes sont générées annuellement et doivent être exportées de l’archipel vers l’enfouissement à St-Rosaire, soit à 1200 km de transport. Cette matière génère donc des gaz à effet de serre de transport et pourrait être valorisée localement pour créer un circuit court d’économie circulaire. Ainsi, suite au succès d’un projet pilote d’intégration du bardeau dans du gravier en 2019-2020, ce présent projet cherche à valider l’application de bardeaux dans du MR5 pour créer un partenariat avec le CERMIM et le MTMDQ pour valorisation de masse, via la caractérisation détaillée des propriétés géotechniques de ce matériau bonifié, tout en ouvrant la voie à la valorisation d’autres matières résiduelles dans les infrastructures routières. Ce projet s’assure également de suivre les requis environnementaux du MELCCFP.

Effects of catch and release practices on survival, physiology and metabolism in marine salmon

Pacific salmon face a gauntlet of fishing gear as they migrate from oceanic feeding grounds to freshwater spawning sites, and while millions of fish typically are harvested each year in BC, a large portion are released. Catch and release (C/R) is a management option that allows recreational fishing opportunities and the economic benefits it entails to local communities and the sport fishing industry. C/R can also lead to high levels of ‘latent’ mortality due to injuries and prolonged air exposure associated with capture and landing. We will capture marine adult coho salmon using a range of typical approaches (e.g. varying landing times, hook types, and landing net types), transport them to a lab for 14 day holding, and relate ultimate physiological condition and mortality to fishing approaches. Exhaustive exercise can also lead to latent mortality yet this has never been examined in marine fisheries. We will use boat- and land-based respirometry to also investigate the metabolic costs of typical C/R approaches to see if metabolic collapse is occurring and contributing to physiological state and mortality during the holding period. Results will be used to help determine best C/R practices for coho salmon.

Investigating the experiences of Indigenous patients accessing Naturopathic medicine.

Due to colonization and other on-going social determinants of health, Indigenous Peoples in Canada experience severe health inequities. There is little research exploring the experiences of Indigenous Peoples with naturopathic medicine, despite the alignment between Indigenous concepts of health and naturopathic philosophy and practice. The role of naturopathic medicine in Indigenous healthcare is unclear.
This project will act as a catalyst to spark research, relationship building and advocacy in order to clarify what the naturopathic medicine has to offer to Indigenous communities as they create their own self-determined health care models. It will also clarify to the naturopathic profession what improvements need to be made to naturopathic healthcare delivery models in order to best serve Indigenous patients across Canada.
