Assessing survival of triploid oysters compared to diploid controls on farms in NS

A parasite present in the Bras d’Ors Lake in Cape Breton, NS has closed the oyster aquaculture and wild fishery in Cape Breton since the initial outbreak in 2002. This parasite has also affected oysters in the Eastern US. The industry in the US has survived and is stable in part due to the production of triploid oysters. Triploid oysters grow to market size faster and this fast growth rate reduces the time the oyster spends in the wild and therefore reduces the timeframe that the oyster may become infected with the parasite. A triploid oyster is one that has three copies of its genome instead of two. The objectives of this project are to develop the most efficient protocols for induction of triploidy for the aquaculture sector in NS. TO BE CONT’D

Community dynamics in restored salt marshes

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 level rise, and provide increased habitat for birds, fish, etc. Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) and partners initiated a large salt marsh restoration project in 2009-2010 in Aulac, NB, with the goals of reverting farmland to salt marsh and assessing the effectiveness of restoration methods.

Understanding of the effect of wood quality and pulping conditions on the properties of dissolving pulp

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 the multivariable and complex nature of the issue, modelling/ data analyses using PCA and PLS analyses can reveal the key parameters that affect the pulp quality, thus gaining operational guidance. In this research project, PCA and PLS analysis will be used to determine the effect of wood chip quality (wood species, fiber dimension & distribution, density, moisture content, etc.) and cooking conditions/variables (cooking time & temperature, H-factor, P-factor, pH, etc.) on the pulp quality parameters such as, yield and intrinsic viscosity.

Proof of Principle Application for Biosensors in Animal Models

NXTSens has developed an implantable continuous monitoring, stand-alone and potentially mass-producible microsensor for accurate monitoring of tissue pressure and temperature in damaged limb muscles to better diagnose ACS. The proposed research will involve several sub-projects that include: i) develop appropriate surgical models for the accurate and reproducible placement of the microsensors in rodent compartments; ii) test the performance of a prototype microsensor in a relevant cadaver model.

Development Of A Machine Condition Monitoring Platform Using A Wireless Sensor Network

Machine maintenance is a necessary task to keep production lines or individual machines running in a healthy condition. Predictive Maintenance (PdM) can effectively reduce maintenance cost and machine down time. However, it requires online machine condition monitoring systems to obtain the relevant parameters of the machines. Conventional distributed-control-system (DCS) -based monitoring systems use wires/cables to deliver signals which makes it expensive and inconvenient for installation, while current wireless sensor network (WSN)-based monitoring systems are only designed for small data management and are not ideal for machine condition monitoring that requires the transmission of a large amount of data. In this project we will develop a new wireless sensing platform and data processing software which can satisfy the demands for big data transmission, cost-effectiveness, and easy onsite installation. Working with our partner RMAE who provides Cogeneration Heat and Power (CHP) services, we will be able to develop

Evaluating the reliability of citizen science SCUBA surveys for long term monitoring of Pacific Rockfish (Sebastes spp.)

The Galiano Conservation Association aims to educate the public about Rockfish Conservation areas, and monitor fisher compliance and rockfish populations, to enhance rockfish recovery around Galiano Island. Rockfish are a threatened and overfished group of fishes native to BC’s coast. Given that the underwater realm is toxic to humans, subtidal monitoring data is limited. However recreational divers are abundant and looking for ways to add value to their hobby. This project aims to harness the potential of crowdsourcing subtidal monitoring data through a citizen science program involving recreational divers. The reliability of recreational diver data has not been assessed in this context and we will investigate the roles of diver expertise on data accuracy. The legacy of this project will be the citizen science platform, ongoing engagement of the dive community and the validation of citizen science scuba survey data.
