In modern kraft pulp mills, the kraft recovery boiler can produce all the steam and electricity needed for the mill and even sell green electricity to the grid. However, most mills still have the fossil CO2 emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels in lime kilns. For mills to eliminate this source of fossil CO2, […]

This proposed research project is about development of new bone-targeting drug called PTHPEG- BP, this new compound will overcome shortages of current clinical peptide hormone PTH, and show better treatment efficacy and lower price then the latter; several new technologies will be used on research of this PTH, such as micro Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT), […]

When stars like our Sun reach the end of their lives, they become giants and eject a lot of their initial mass through a slow, dense outflow. These winds are driven by microscopic solid particles (dust grains) that condense in the cool stellar atmospheres. The dust is the product of a large number of chemical […]

Outdoor winter sport athletes face unique weather conditions that might include wind, snow and rain. These weather conditions can occur at a variety of air temperatures, ranging from above zero to -20 C. The colder the air temperature the more challenges winter sport athletes face in warming up for competition and then staying warm. The […]

Stockpiles of scrap tire grow larger every day in Alberta due to heavy industry. Safe and healthy disposal of scrap tires requires costly municipal landfill space. Using tire derived aggregates (TDA) for construction applications such as road embankment and insulation layers is of great attention and interest to Alberta’s government. Frost penetration beneath the pavement […]

We will explore a low-carbon hydrogen pathway, i.e., renewable power-to-ammonia (P2A) production and distribution to connect the hydrogen economy between Canada and Germany. Ammonia is a commodity for fertilizer with mature production and distribution infrastructure. However, careful analyses are required to evaluate its potential as a hydrogen carrier for energy and trade. A combined techno-economic […]

To date, gut microbiome populations have been associated only with not beneficial choline metabolism, like those related to trimethylamine N-oxide formation. But in this research, it is hypothesized that other mechanisms must be involved in the fates of free choline released from dietary sources. To explore these microbial communities associated to beneficial choline metabolism rendering […]

In my doctoral research project, I will analyse infant and childhood feeding practices from three different medieval Italian sites (11th-14th centuries AD). These collections are housed at the University of Pisa where I propose to do my field work. The aim of my research is to test the hypothesis that gendered feeding patterns existed, which […]

Le projet porte sur le développement d’un procédé de dépôt de couches minces sur le bois et ces dérivés (contre-plaqué, etc) par l’utilisation d’un réacteur PE-CVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition). Le dépôt recherché aura pour rôle d’ignifugier et de ralentir la combustion du bois. L’étude s’orientera sur le comportement du réacteur de dépôt, sur […]

Les batteries lithium-ion sont du matériel de grande valeur à recycler. Elles ont des métaux critiques très attractifs actuellement. Le graphite en particulier occupe une place centrale dans cette démarche visant à appuyer la transition énergétique. La fabrication des batteries pour stocker les énergies propres repose en effet sur ce matériau qui entre dans la […]

The Learning Bar works with communities around the world to support childrens’ learning and well-being. Our assessments, programs and professional learning ensure educators know exactly what they need to do to support a child from pre-K through to graduation.

New Directions, Opikihiwawin mission is to provide cultural education, support and advocacy to indigenous adoptees, and people. The pandemic as well as a fire in their building has caused engagement to decrease. I think that this project will help Opikihiwawin by increasing their attendance, getting more people engaged and bringing back cultural support. The organization’s […]
