Development of a Cost-Effective Machine Learning-Based Device for Predicting Nitrous Oxide Emissions in Agricultural Fields

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada has initiated a program to reduce fertilizer N2O emissions by 30 % from 2020 to 2030 [14]. Accurate monitoring of agricultural N2O emissions is crucial for understanding their environmental impact and implementing effective mitigation strategies. Current research mainly focuses on measuring N2O emissions from the ground. The spectroscopic-based LI-COR sensor is […]

Response of moose forage to disturbances in central British Columbia

Moose are often assumed to benefit from disturbances because of the flush in plants they eat (forage) occurring shortly after. However, the response of moose to disturbances is complex, with moose numbers documented as increasing or decreasing as disturbances increase. Disturbances can alter the quantity and nutritional quality of forage available to moose. The change […]

Evaluating an Anti-Racism Training for Healthcare Workers

Racism permeates and is upheld by institutions such as healthcare, with deleterious impacts for patients and healthcare workers. Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH)–a regional health authority—has more than 29,000 workers providing services to over 1.25 million people. They will be piloting an anti-racism training they created for workers as part of their larger Anti-Racism Action Plan. […]

Induction Motor model parameter estimation from manufacturer data for use in electromagnetic transient programs

The project will investigate the use of non-linear optimization and heuristic methods such as Genetic algorithms to determine the parameters of commercial induction motors from available manufacturer data. The developed model will be simulated using electromagnetic transients simulation programs. A suitable objective function will be developed which penalizes deviation off the simulation results from manufacturers’ […]

Coal Derived Humic Products As Novel Adsorbents For Water Remediation

WestMET Group Canada operates four coal mines in Alberta. Humalite, naturally occurring from organic matter decomposition, is produced in large quantities during mining. Humic products from coal wastes may be more suitable than other sources due to high humic content, rawmaterial availability, low cost, application ease, and reduced coal waste accumulation and environmental impact. Westmoreland […]
