Exploring the agronomic and soil health benefits of liming in the Prairies

Soil acidity in Alberta and northeastern British Columbia has been recognized as a problem since the early 1960’s. With the current application of N fertilizers, this problem has persisted making it unsustainable to maintain high crop yields in the long term. This project hypothesizes that the one-time application of lime to increase soil pH will […]

Unpacking the role of environmental stress and disease in salmon declines.

This program will investigate the role disease plays in salmon declines and the risks posed by open-net salmon farming to wild Pacific salmon. First, our ongoing partnership with the Broughton Archipelago Transition Initiative (BATI) will monitor salmon-farm impacts, serving as a testing ground for monitoring technologies to support Indigenous self-determination. Second, we will expand our […]

A simple method for subcutaneous vein detection in self-cannulation mapping of home hemodialysis

Although home hemodialysis (HHD) benefits patients including improving their lives’ quality, self-cannulation is currently a limiting and challenging step in their treatment. In this study, we aim to solve this problem by developing an epidermal film/patch with a vein visualization capability. A detachable mobile needle-guide tool can be mounted on the epidermal patch which can […]

Opérationnalisation des réductions de gaz à effet de serre de la production du lait : développement d’une approche systémique et intégrée d’agriculture régénératrice

Dans le cycle de vie du lait, environ 70-85% des émissions de GES sont produites au niveau de la ferme. Des stratégies de réduction de GES existent. Cette opportunité permet l’application d’une agriculture régénératrice ayant un potentiel de réduction des GES. Une opérationnalisation concrète de mesures au niveau de la ferme laitière est nécessaire. C’est […]

Technical and Procedural Knowledge Extraction with Question Answering

Engineering organisations like Thales rely on large quantities of technical knowledge. When resolving a technical problem, for example, users have to follow a multi-step procedure in which the steps are described with various levels of detail, may not be up to date, or may not target the exact problem they are facing. In this context, […]

Linking fertiliser recommendations to nutrient use efficiency and crop productivity on Labrador farms; role of soil carbon

Farming on lands converted from boreal forest is challenged by the low fertility, high acidity and metal toxicity of their soils. Soil organic matter mitigates loss of fertility and facilitates retention and use efficiency of nutrients added with fertilisers. Fertilisers are the most expensive inputs for the farms in the region. Currently there is no […]
