AV Nackawic has experienced significant variations in the quality of its final product, including, pulp viscosity. There are many variables, both quality parameters of raw materials such as, wood species, chip size, and process conditions such as P- factor, EA, H-factor, play a key role in the overall quality of the final product. Due to […]

Salt marshes are important coastal ecosystems because they provide many services to surrounding areas. Due to the high fertility of salt marsh soil, they have a long history of being converted to farmland in Maritime Canada. In recent years, there has been growing interest in restoring salt marshes to protect against coastal erosion, mitigate sea […]

Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are land based fish farms that recycle the water from the fish tanks using multiple water treatment processes. Fish produce large amounts of carbon dioxide, through respiration, that needs to be removed during the water treatment process since high levels of carbon dioxide are hazardous to fish. Currently the most common […]

En 2016, 25 700 Canadiennes développeront un cancer du sein, représentant 26.1% de tous les cancers diagnostiqués et on estime que 5000 femmes en décèderont cette année. Contrairement à un diagnostique, un pronostique nous permet de prédire l’évolution d’une maladie. La recherche de nouvelles méthodes de pronostic non invasive d’un cancer est importante pour déterminer […]
