The Dawn of Energy Prosumers in Canada: Current state and key accelerators for growth

This study focuses on understanding the emerging role of “prosumers” in Canada – individuals or entities who not only use electricity but also produce it, often through renewable sources like solar panels. We aim to study how this trend is evolving, especially in Canada, and develop profiles of these prosumers based on where they live and the technology they use. By employing advanced techniques like machine learning and operations research, the project will help in predicting the costs and benefits of this shift towards more proactive energy users. For our partner organization, a leader in digital automation and energy management, this research offers valuable insights. It will help them better understand the changing needs of energy consumers, potentially leading to improved services and innovations in energy management solutions, making energy use more efficient and sustainable for everyone.

Visionary Communities

Visionary Communities: advancing desired neighbourhood futures is a 4-year community-university partnership that aims to enhance conditions for advancing the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and just sustainable futures desired by Kingston-Galloway Orton (KGO) neighbourhood residents and non-profit organizations and grassroots groups. The first stage of work (over 2024) is to listen to the community and surface momentum to better understand community-defined challenges and identify opportunities for building on and enhancing community strengths (relationships, knowledges, experiences). By working closely with residents and community partners in KGO to surface their priorities, visions, and strengths for the neighbourhood, as well as their needs and challenges, we will contribute to meaningful place-based solutions identified and sought by community members and groups themselves.

Amélioration de la circularité tout au long de la chaîne d’approvisionnement des MCS – recyclage des résidus de sulfate de sodium issu de l’extraction et la transformation des MCS via l’électrolyse membranaire

La filière de production des MCS comporte plusieurs sous-produits qui devront être enfouis, traités ou transformés. Le présent projet s’attarde sur le sulfate de sodium issu de la neutralisation de lixiviats d’acidesulfurique présents dans plusieurs procédés hydrométallurgiques. Bien qu’une partie des centaines de milliers de tonnes annuelle puisse être revalorisé (détergents en poudre en Amérique du Sud ou industries textiles asiatiques), ce produit reste excédentaire dans la production mondiale et n’a que peu de valeurs économiques. L’électrolyse membranaire est une technologie qui permet de séparer les ions (sulfate et sodium) pour fabriquer l’hydroxyde de sodium et l’acide sulfurique par le passage d’électrons avec un grade de pureté plus élevé que celui sur le marché. Le projet permettra de passer d’essais en laboratoire vers la mise en place d’une usine prépilote À terme, le Canada obtient un procédé aidant à la diminution de produit voué à l’enfouissement, de la demande en produits chimiques, en transport, hydrique et l’accès à une technologie plus verte.

Geomicrobiology for detecting rare metal deposits

Recent advances in genetic technology have significantly lowered the cost of molecular microbiology, opening the doors to application in the mineral exploration industry. The Geomicrobial Surveys proposed in this application represent a novel method for mineral exploration using the patterns of microbial communities as proxies for invisible subsurface features, like rare earth metal deposits. Because of its efficient scale and non-invasive sampling approaches, geomicrobiology causes negligible environmental impact while offering to improve how companies rank mineral targets for drilling prioritization. The primary outcomes of bringing geomicrobial surveys into mineral exploration will be both a de-risking of missed targets and a reduction in exploratory drilling in unnecessary areas, saving time and money for industry while reducing negative impacts on natural environments.

Advancing Reforestation: Monitoring Seedling Direction with Vision-Based Technology for Improving Planting Precision

This research focuses on making big tree-planting project better. In this project, special cameras are going to be used on planting machines to check if young trees are standing up straight when planted. This helps workers know right away if a tree isn’t planted correctly. The cameras use smart technology to quickly analyze how the trees are placed. This ensures that the trees are planted well even if the ground is bumpy. The goal is to make sure tree planting is done right and fast. This helps create healthier and strong forester. By using this camera system, workers can be more efficient, and the forests they plant will be more efficient, and the forests they plant will be more successful, contributing to a greener and sustainable environment.

Monolithic Metal-Organic Framework Aerogels

The proposed research involves the synthesis and in-depth characterization of conductive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as a benchmark of super-porous and functional materials. The as-developed conductive MOFs will be thence employed to yield free-standing multi-scale porous aerogels as ultra-light functional constructs. These aerogels are potent candidates for absorption-dominant electromagnetic (EM) shields and energy storage systems. The designed project is beneficial for MIT and UBC, as it provides the possibility of merging the conductive MOFs and functional aerogels sciences to generate engineerable aerogels with tunable features. This allows the intern, i.e., Seyyed Alireza Hashemi, to earn the in-depth science of MOFs synthesis and characterization and bring the science to their home university toward advanced applications and functions. It also establishes a strong bond between the two scientific groups at MIT and UBC, contributing to the advancement of porous materials science.

Precarious Property and Political Power: Land Tenure, Law, and the Changing Character of Social Power in England, 1640-1690

In seventeenth-century England, a person’s degree of political power and community standing were determined, to a surprising degree, by the amount of land that they held, but the legal mechanisms that reinforced this system became destabilized during the period of 1640 to 1690. Parliamentary reforms, radical activism, colonialism, and an increasingly commercialized land market disrupted the traditional emphasis on land tenure as the foundation of a person’s social power. This research project will investigate instances between 1640 and 1690 when the legal mechanisms and social structures regulating land tenures altered noticeably, such as controversial reforms proposed during Civil War, the redistribution of lands based on political allegiance, the abolition of medieval tenures, the gradual abandonment of manor courts, and the implementation of land tenure in colonies in America. The evidence and arguments will focus on the day-to-day experiences of ordinary landholders in order to understand how people coped with seeing the connection between their property and their political power eroded as a result of these events. This project will improve institutional collaborations between Canada and the UK and will lead to innovative insights into the seventeenth-century roots of modern tools such as leases and mortgages.

Ibogaine-induced gait recovery and brain repair in MS and stroke

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is caused by self-reactive immune cells that destroy the fatty substance called myelin which surrounds axons in the brain. Like the rubber insulation on telephone lines, myelin is required for axons to properly transmit electrical signals. Comparable to stripping the rubber insulation from telephone lines, myelin loss impairs communication in the brain. If remyelination fails to occur, axon damage ensues leading to permanent neurological deficits. Despite intense effort, all drug candidates designed to halt MS disease progression by stimulating brain repair have failed. Ibogaine is a psychedelic that produces remarkable neurological recovery in veterans suffering from traumatic brain injuries. Our goal is to determine whether ibogaine also reverses walking deficits in a mouse model of MS by increasing brain repair. Positive outcomes from these studies would encourage the large investment needed to assess the safety and effectiveness of ibogaine in treating MS.

Making the extraordinary – ordinary: what is stopping organizations from unlocking the power of “good” in everything they do

This research project study the different approaches organizations have to corporate social responsibility and identify the reasons and challenges that are stopping different types of organizations from integrating the notion of “purpose” in their profit creation mechanisms. So far, the confusion that surrounds social responsibility space as well as the inability to accurately measure outcomes of social responsibility programs have created uncertainty and many barriers that caused success stories to be extraordinary rather than a normal part of business conduct. PUBLIC inc, the partner organization for this study, has been working with many organizations in an effort to integrate purpose and profit and thus would gain valuable insights from this study.
