april 6, 2016 – thunder bay, on

a fourth-year mechanical engineering student from 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 placed first at the canadian engineering competition held recently at mcgill university.

in the engineering communications category, andreas zailo had to present a clear and concise viewpoint on a technical topic to a judging panel. he had to focus on thoroughly explaining technical, social, economic and environmental impacts.

zailo chose to research the impacts of net-zero geothermal greenhouses for remote and isolated communities in northern canada for his project. while he entered as an individual, his topic came from his degree project work and he credits his teammates alex coulson, evan oulahen and tyler beckie, and his supervisor dr. basel ismail for helping him prepare for the competition.

“basically my presentation covered the engineering processes and technologies that were combined and optimized to create a thermally stable growing platform for year-round food production,” zailo said.

“afterwards, i had to outline the social, economic and environmental concerns and impacts,” he said.

zailo first competed at the locally held lakehead engineering competition (lec) that allows 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 to enter four categories: junior design, senior design, software/programming, and engineering communications. winners moved on to the ontario engineering competition (oec) and, ultimately to the canadian engineering competition (cec) if they continue to place first or second.

in addition to placing first at the oec against 16 other ontario universities, zailo also received the social awareness award. 

dr. david barnett, dean of the faculty of engineering at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 , congratulated zailo on his accomplishment and noted the “importance of communication skills in the development of a successful engineer.”

the annual cec competition held in march brought together 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 from across canada who have advanced to the national event following local and regional competitions.

liang bua is a limestone cave on the indonesian island of flores. archaeological excavations in progress.

march 30, 2016 – thunder bay, on

阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 ’s dr. matt tocheri is quoted below about this important discovery. he is available for interviews.
 

eight years of further excavations and study at the indonesian cave site of liang bua have pushed back the time of disappearance of the ‘hobbits’ of flores (homo floresiensis) from as recently as 12,000 years ago to about 50,000 years ago—around the same time that modern humans (homo sapiens) first dispersed through the wider region and reached australia.

the new findings are published online in nature today in an article entitled “revised stratigraphy and chronology for homo floresiensis at liang bua in indonesia."

in 2003, archaeologists uncovered the remains of a human skeleton roughly six metres (20 feet) beneath the present-day surface of liang bua. the skull revealed an extremely small, chimpanzee-sized brain (about 400 cm³) and the limb bones showed that this fully-grown adult would have stood about 106 cm (3.5 feet) tall. in overall appearance, it was most similar to fossil human species that lived in africa and asia between 1 and 3 million years ago. this new member of the human family tree, called homo floresiensis and dubbed the ‘hobbit’, was first reported to the world in nature on 28 october 2004.

the skeleton was initially thought to be about 18,000 years old, with fragmentary remains of other individuals found in older and younger layers thought to have been deposited between 95,000 and 12,000 years ago. the surprisingly recent age for the disappearance of h. floresiensis implied that this diminutive human species had survived on flores almost 40 millennia after modern humans first passed through this island archipelago, reaching australia by around 50,000 years ago.

new excavations were carried out from 2007 to 2014 by researchers from the national research centre for archaeology (indonesia), the university of wollongong (australia) and the smithsonian institution (usa), and revealed a stratigraphic sequence far more complex than originally thought. new dates for the site show that all of the skeletal remains of h. floresiensis are between about 100,000 and 60,000 years old, with stone artefacts likely made by this species continuing to about 50,000 years ago. modern humans were venturing through island southeast asia at around this time, but whether the two species ever encountered each other on flores or elsewhere is currently unknown.

lead author of the study, thomas sutikna (university of wollongong and national research centre for archaeology), said, “we didn’t realize during our original excavations that the ‘hobbit’ deposits near the eastern wall of the cave were similar in age to those near the cave centre, which we had dated to about 74,000 years ago. as we extended our original excavations each year, it became increasingly clear that there was a large remnant pedestal of older deposits truncated by an erosional surface that sloped steeply toward the cave mouth.”

this erosional surface was later covered by much younger sediments during the past 20,000 years. “unfortunately, the ages of these overlying sediments were originally thought to apply to the ‘hobbit’ remains, but our continuing excavations and analyses revealed that this was not the case,” said co-author wahyu saptomo, head of conservation and archaeometry at the national research centre for archaeology.

h. floresiensis is not the only species that suddenly disappears from the liang bua stratigraphic sequence about 50,000 years ago. “vultures, giant marabou storks, pygmy stegodon (an extinct relative of elephants) and even komodo dragons vanish from the sequence with h. floresiensis,” according to co-lead author dr. matt tocheri (canada research chair in human origins at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 and research associate at the smithsonian institution’s human origins program). “lots of people may have interesting ideas about why these taxa disappear together like this, but the truth is that we don’t know precisely why—and we won’t know with any certainty until much more work is done at liang bua and other sites on flores,” dr. tocheri said.

professor richard ‘bert’ roberts, australian research council laureate fellow at the university of wollongong, oversaw the various dating analyses used in the study. “we dated charcoal, sediments, flowstones, volcanic ash and even the h. floresiensis bones themselves using the most up-to-date scientific methods available. in the last decade, we’ve vastly improved our understanding of when the deposits accumulated in liang bua, and what this means for the age of ‘hobbit’ bones and stone tools. but whether ‘hobbits’ encountered modern humans or other groups of humans—such as the ‘denisovans’—dispersing through southeast asia remains an open and intriguing question.”

other members of the research team included jatmiko, sri wasisto and the late rokus due awe (national research centre for archaeology), the late mike morwood, bo li, mike morley, tony dosseto and gerrit van den bergh (university of wollongong), kira westaway (macquarie university), max aubert, rainer grün and adam brumm (griffith university), jian-xin zhao (university of queensland), michael storey (natural history museum of denmark), brent alloway (victoria university of wellington), hanneke meijer (university museum of bergen) and bill jungers (stony brook university).

the research was supported by australian research council grants and fellowships, the waitt foundation/national geographic society, the smithsonian scholarly studies program, the peter buck fund for human origins research, and additional funds from the smithsonian’s human origins program, the university of wollongong, the victoria university of wellington, and the villum foundation.

dr. lew christopher, bri director

tuesday, march 15, 2016 – thunder bay, on

a 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 researcher is receiving funding from the canada foundation for innovation (cfi) for his biorefining project.

dr. lew christopher, director of lakehead’s biorefining research institute, is receiving $59,539 for his work into enabling advanced, high-quality research in forest biorefining.

in a forest-based biorefining system, trees are harvested to produce high-value primary products (e.g. lumber, pulp, paper) and residues are used to create a range of value-added co-products.

“by developing new, cost-efficient and environmentally-friendly technologies for value-added products from forest biomass, we will be able to replace oil-based materials with sustainable biomass-based alternatives,” said dr. christopher.

“we will also enhance the international competitiveness of the canadian forest sector.”

dr. christopher will use the funding to purchase three pieces of state of the art equipment that will advance his research into the production of value-added chemicals, materials and bioenergy created through the forest biorefinery.

with global competition, unstable oil and energy prices, concerns about global warming and incentives for green fuels and chemicals, the canadian forest sector needs to implement the biorefinery concept in order to create additional revenues and remain competitive, dr. christopher said.

“this project will position 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 as a leader for research excellence in biorefining,” said dr. andrew p. dean, vice-president, research and innovation.

“it will result in high-quality research, data, reports, publications and presentations at national and international forums, attracting top researchers in the field,” dr. dean added.  

this funding was announced on monday, march 14 by the honourable kirsty duncan, minister of science, with more than $23 million supporting 95 projects at universities across canada.

“investments in canada’s research infrastructure are incredibly important to the nation’s future,” said minister duncan. “they give canadian researchers the tools they need to make new discoveries that will better the lives of canadians today and for years to come.”

the investment was made through the cfi’s john r. evans leaders fund, designed to help universities attract and retain the best and brightest researchers from around the world by giving them access to cutting-edge research tools.
