Sustainable development of solid waste management in the Municipality of Roblin

The current waste disposal cells at the Municipality of Roblin has been full. They have to design a new cell to receive more waste. This project is predicted to determine its feasibility through an environmental assessment in view of the proposed waste disposal cell. Moreover, the recycling program has been conducted in this region. However, the diversion rate is expected to improve. Optimizing the existing recycling program is one of the objectives of this project. Besides, consider whether there are other programs to enhance the waste diversion rate. In conclusion, this project proposed providing some suggestions to achieve sustainable waste management system development.

Technology Innovations to Improve Patient Outcomes After Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in severe paralysis, for which there are no effective treatments. Advanced technologies, however, can play an important role in assisting in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of SCI patients who suffer many impairments beyond the loss of voluntary muscle control. In this proposal, we will develop and apply innovative technologies for SCI. We will develop a novel biosensor for the injured cord to inform doctors how to best support its healing in the early stages of injury. We will also develop a bladder pressure sensor to help patients and doctors detect when bladder pressures rise unknowingly. And we will utilize imaging technologies and drug infusion technologies to better understand and potentially treat SCI. The partnership between scientific research and clinical medicine makes this proposal uniquely suited to develop such technologies to help SCI patients.

Assessing cumulative hydrological impacts from forest disturbance and climate change in Duteau Creek community watershed

There are growing concerns over the cumulative hydrological effects of forest disturbance on hydrology in the Duteau Creek community watershed. The objectives of this proposed study are: 1) to calibrate and validate the hydrological model SWAT; 2) to assess the cumulative hydrological effects of proposed forest harvesting under future climate change impacts; and 3) to evaluate possible hydrological impacts of spatial arrangements (or patterns) of forest disturbance or harvesting. Answering these questions would provide important and timely results to support local decision makers to manage cumulative hydrological impacts under an increasing human demand and climate change context. A hydrological model (SWAT) is mainly proposed to conduct this research. While SWAT is a popular hydrological model widely used in many watersheds, its applications on cumulative hydrological effects caused by forest disturbance and landscape patterns is rare, which is a key innovation of this proposal.

Calcium Supplements, Elemental Bioavailability, and Uptake by Bone (Part 2)

There is an increasing number and variety of calcium supplements being made available to the Canadian public, often making claims regarding improved action over competitor products. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the effects of drugs and nutraceuticals upon bone health, particularly if they contain elements (such as calcium) which incorporate into newly mineralizing bone. With the highly bioavailable calcium acetate supplement by the Canadian nutraceutical company Sino Veda, it would be possible to verify improved uptake and deposition into bone if competitive uptake of the SinoVeda product was contrasted against strontium salts, which are easier to trace systemically in comparison to calcium. A range of calcium salt and strontium salt compounds were examined, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) established to identify and assay from complex mixtures, including rat serum.
