Industrial-scale production of protein from black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) has emerged as an efficient and sustainable alternative to wild harvesting or large animal farming. The principal waste product, called frass, has plant growth-enhancing properties exceeding those explained from primary nutrient (e.g., N,P,K) profiles, but how does frass confer these growth enhancing properties upon plants? […]

The Quantum Algorithms Institute (QAI) brings together industry, academia, and the government of British Columbia and launches the first Quantum Software engineering bootcamp.

This project is about designing a system to monitor the performance of a renewable energy system installed in the Coniston Seniors’ Center for supplying the hot water demand of the building. This system includes photovoltaic thermal panels, wastewater heat recovery system, thermal energy storage, and heat pumps. The proposed system will use no fossil fuel […]

Climate change predictions make it highly likely that Pacific salmon will be exposed to future water temperature extremes. Given the importance of cold water to maintain Pacific salmon, the availability of discrete cold-water patches in rivers/streams that can act as thermal refugia may become increasingly critical to protect salmon. Such refugia can be provided by […]
