Mise à niveau des étangs aérés facultatifs au Québec

Les étangs aérés facultatifs (ÉAF) représentent 67% des 811 stations d’épuration québécoises. Plusieurs de ces stations doivent être mise à niveau pour augmenter leur capacité de traitement ou respecter les nouvelles normes de rejet en matière organique et non toxicité aiguë. Des guides sont disponibles pour la conception des ÉAF mais ils ont besoin d’être mis à jour pour considérer les nouvelles options technologiques disponibles de mise à niveau des ÉAF. L’objectif général de ce projet est de développer un guide de mise à niveau des ÉAF. Les objectifs spécifiques pour y arriver seront d’analyser les données de performance de stations d’ÉAF existantes, de développer et calibrer les ÉAF à l’aide d’un modèle mécaniste, de réaliser des simulations pour mettre à niveau les ÉAF par l’ajout de technologies de traitement, puis de transposer le modèle mécaniste vers un modèle empirique de mise à niveau des ÉAF.

Evaluating the potential of using a Canadian Sudangrass hybrid and ryegrass as companion crops for alfalfa establishment

Alfalfa is a legume forage crop that is intensively grown in Canada and represents a major feed source for livestock ruminants (i.e. dairy cows). When establishing pure stands of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) there are two primary options to minimize weed encroachment: the use of herbicides or the use of companion crops. Companion crops will minimize weed development during the establishment year, provide more harvestable forage biomass, and reduce risks of erosion. Cereals are traditionally used as companion crops but new species such as Sudangrass and ryegrass this project is to determine the effects of underseeding alfalfa with various companion crops on forage yield and quality, and alfalfa establishment and persistence, with a focus on newly available species.

Sustainability planning and performance assessment in Maple Ridge, BC

The Centre for Sustainable Development at Simon Fraser University has been a leader in sustainable development theory and practice, in Canada and internationally, since 1989. The Centre stimulates sustainable development research and study in BC and elsewhere; collects and provides information about sustainable development; carries out sustainable development projects in partnership with communities and agencies, and facilitates effective use of university resources in responding to requests for assistance on sustainable development problems. The Maple Ridge Community Foundation envisions a healthy and vital community with enhanced quality of life for all. This project aims to help achieve this vision, by assessing the sustainability of Maple Ridge and helping the Foundation, the City, and the citizens in making decisions based on a long-term perspective and a shared language. The Maple Ridge Community Foundation will be provided with a customized sustainability performance framework that will guide the community on its path toward sustainability.

Food Economy Research Project

The purpose of this research is to examine the food consumption pattern in Revelstoke, British Columbia. Through employing a three-stage action research approach – (i) the food receipt study, (ii) the social media intervention (SMI) on healthy eating and healthy cooking, and (iii) the food consumption depth interview, this study seeks to capture residents’ food consumption patterns and to develop creative recommendations to practitioners, policy-makers and academic researchers regarding rural food consumption patterns and food security. The primary goal of this research is to better understand the inter-relationship between food consumption and challenges related to food security and accessibility to healthy food in rural communities. The other goal of this study is to explore future use of mixed-methods in community-based action research.

Technology validation of the needle-free injector MED-JET H4 for vaccination

In adults, influenza vaccination is administered by intramuscular injection, a procedure that many people find painful and that some find frightening (ie: needle-phobia). Influenza vaccination is now encouraged or recommended for all Canadians. Every year, there is a large effort to vaccinate as many people as possible before the ‘flu season’. The urgency to vaccinate is even more acute in pandemics. Public health authorities are interested in ways to increase vaccine acceptance and delivery. One way to promote vaccine uptake and facilitate delivery would be needle-free injection. So-called Jet injectors could significantly reduce the time needed to immunize and might be more acceptable to those who fear needles. Several jet-injectors have been developed that can reliably deliver vaccines and there is every reason to believe they will be equally effective but cause less discomfort than needle-based delivery.
