Tool penetration strategies can be GFD\, CVD and FBD.\nInv estigation and characterization of CVD\, still remains one of the\nunderde veloped areas in SACE. It is certainly presumed that\ninvestigation on for ces acting at the tool-work piece contact point\ncan be a potential tool i n characterizing a CVD process for\nSACE.  It is also understood that stud ying such forces exerted\non the tool during CVD\, can help in identifying and implementing\nthe finest feedback control strategies for SACE drillin g\ntechnology.\n\nReviewers:  Mohammed Bakari\, Mohsin-Bin Latheef\, Ashle y\nRobertson\n\nNandkishor was born in Canada but raised in India where he \ncompleted a B.E. in Instrumentation. He then did an MASc at\nConcordia i n Mechanical Engineering. He is currently pursuing his\nPhD in the develop ment of integrated autonomous sensing and\ncharacterization of agricultura l soil under the supervision of\nProfessors Adamchuk and Prasher.\n\nItem 2: Seminar by Lylia Khennache:\nCorruption\, an Investigation in the Water Sector\n\nFew things are more fundamental to life than ensuring the\nmana gement of the world’s water resources is sustainable\,\nequitable\, effici ent and free from significant failures\, including\ncorruption. Water reso urces management (WRM) is defined as all\nactions required managing and co ntrolling freshwater to meet human\nand environmental needs.  WRM is about the fundamental rules\nof the game. Corruption and policy failures indire ctly related to\nWRM have a strong impact on water quality\, availability and\ndistribution. In this presentation\, corruption will be defined and\n its application to WRM will be illustrated with some case\nstudies.\n\nRev iewers:  Claude Adjanahoun\, Baishali Dutta\, Winny\nRoutray\n\nLylia Khen nache is a second year Ph.D student in Water Management.\nHer supervisors are Professors Adamowski and Prasher. Her project\nis about creating an Ev aluation Tool to Improve Integrated Water\nResources Management on Shared Waters in Africa. She holds a\nBachelor Degree in Economics and Politics f rom the University of\nMontreal\, a Master Degree in International Adminis tration. She has\nalso worked in two international organizations: the Worl d Water\nCouncil in Marseille and the International Secretary for\nWater. \n\n\nItem 3: Seminar by Olanike Aladenola:\nIncreasing Agricultural Water Use Efficiency\n\nWater is vital for agricultural production. However\, i ncreasing\ncompetition for this resource between and within water users is a\nthreat to food production. To sustain water use by agriculture and\nto meet present and future global food demand\, water use efficiency\nmust i ncrease. One approach to achieve this is through precise\nirrigation sched uling. This presentation will discuss the use of\nplant water monitoring a pproach as a tool for increasing water use\nefficiency on the field.\n\nOl anike Aladenola was born and raised in Nigeria. She is presently\npursuing her PhD under the supervision of Prof Madramootoo in the\nDepartment of B ioresource Engineering\, ɬ﷬.\n\nItem 4: Seminar by Xin Rui: \nSearching for Antihypertensive Peptides in Beans\nHypertension is nowada ys a global epidemic that over 1.5 billion\npeople suffer from abnormally high blood pressure. It is regarded\nas “silent killer” since there are no specific symptoms. However\,\nhypertension is controllable. Angiotensin I -Converting Enzyme (ACE)\nis a key enzyme in metabolic pathways inducing e levating of blood\npressure. Thus inhibition of this enzyme is resulting i n an\nimportant approach in blood pressure control. The hydrolysates from \nfood protein sources have recently been found having promising ACE\ninhi bitory activities.  In this project\, 9 varieties of beans\n(Phaseolus vul garis) which widely cultivated in Canada are utilized\nas starting materia ls for generating ACE inhibitors. This\npresentation will give a brief int roduction on this project\,\nincluding the background\, material and metho ds and the most recent\nresults.\n\nXin Rui is from China. She got her bac helor degree at 2006 at China\nAgricultural University majored in bioengin eering. In 2008\, she\nfinished her Master studies in Food Science departm ent at the same\nuniversity. At the same year\, she gained scholarship fro m China\nScholarship Council for supporting her to come to ɬ﷬ for\npur suing her PhD degree in Bioresource engineering department\,\nsupervised b y both Dr. Prasher and Dr. Simpson (in Food Science).\nShe is now working on separating antihypertensive peptides (i.e.\nACE inhibitors)\, from diff erent varieties of beans.\n\n\nItem 5: Seminar by Jamshid Rahimi:\nMass Tr ansfer in Deep Fried Batter Coating\n\nThe consumption of low fat foods ha s been increasing during these\ntwo decades and the food manufacturers are looking for the best\nways to decrease the final fat content of their pro ducts. A way to\nachieve this goal is batter coating before frying. In thi s\npresentation\, I will talk about the effects of formulation\,\npreheati ng and frying times on moisture and oil transfers in deep\nfat fried batte r coating.\n\nJamshid was born in Khonj\, a small town in south of Iran\, and\ncompleted a bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Urmia University\,\n Iran. After graduation\, Jamshid worked for Pegah Dairy Co for one\nyear t o improve the texture of low fat yogurt. Then traveled to\nTehran and work ed on preparing a better quality low fat yogurt for\nPak Dairy Co by chang ing the type of starter culture bacteria and\nalso work on a project for M azandaran University of Medical\nSciences to improve the physical properti es of low salt cheese.\nJamshid is currently in his second semester in PhD position under\nsupervision of Prof. Ngadi and is working on decreasing t he fat\nuptake in deep fat fried foods.\n DTSTART:20100923T140000Z DTEND:20100923T153000Z LOCATION:Raymond Building\, CA\, QC\, St Anne de Bellevue\, H9X 3V9\, 21111 Lakeshore Road SUMMARY:BIORESOURCE ENGINEERING SEMINAR URL:/channels/event/bioresource-engineering-seminar-16 7918 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
