 uman Resources Aspects of Tree Planting in Canada\nLouis-Martin Dion\n17 S
 ep. 2009\, 10:05-11:25\, Raymond 2-046\nOver 500 million trees are planted
  every year manually by tree\nplanters to replenish the forests that have 
 been harvested for\npaper or lumber. Tree planting is one of the most chal
 lenging jobs\nboth physically and psychologically in Canada. Receiving a s
 alary\nbased on production\, tree planters will push their bodies to limit
 s\ncomparable to professional athletes. Indeed\, one out of five\nplanters
  will get injured during a season\, which can add up to\nmillions of dolla
 rs in workers compensation fees for some provinces\nand considerable reduc
 tion of work efficiency. A few researchers in\nCanada\, specialized in nut
 rition\, ergonomics and human kinetics\,\nhave observed the various physio
 logical and biochemical responses\nof reforestation workers. Many recommen
 dations are made to improve\nwork efficiency and reduce injuries\, but doe
 s what is seen in\npractice reflect the theory?\nReviewers: Candice Young\

 y of Gaseous Emissions from\nCompost\nEdsel Phillip\n17 Sep. 2009\, 10:05-
 11:25\, Raymond 2-046\nComposting can result in the emission of toxic and
 \nenvironmentally hazardous gases such as carbon monoxide (CO)\,\nmethane 
 (CH4)\, ammonia (NH3)\, and nitrous oxide (N2O). \nConsequently\, there is
  a need to better understand the physical and\nmicrobial factors affecting
  these emissions in order to better\ncontrol them. The objective of this r
 esearch project was to\nconstruct a lab-scale compost reactor where severa
 l process\nparameters could be controlled in order to study the potential
 \nimpact of these process parameters on the gaseous emissions from\ncompos
 ting. The design\, construction\, and testing of a 200 L\ncompost reactor 
 that was built to study the gaseous emissions from\ncompost using Fourier 
 Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry will\nbe presented in this seminar

 anschi\n17 Sep. 2009\, 10:05-11:25\, Raymond 2-046\nThough popular in the 
 late nineteenth century\, the slow sand\nfilter was overshadowed through t
 he twentieth century by the rapid\nsand filters in the field municipal wat
 er treatment.  However\,\nthe twenty-first century is seeing a revival of 
 this ancient method\nas it evolves and re-markets itself for new applicati
 ons. \nThis presentation offers an introduction to slow sand filtration\na
 nd touches on some of the more recent developments in the\nfield.\nReviewe
