DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nOil from Microalgae – Principles\,\nProblems\, & Possibil
 ities\nMohsin Bin Latheef\nIn recent years\, the field of bioenergy resear
 ch has been abuzz\nwith activity and speculation on how the modestly-studi
 ed and\nrepulsive-looking ‘pond scum’ could well be the next big thing for
 \nthe biofuel industry. These tiny photosynthetic aquatic\nmicroorganisms 
 scientifically known as ‘microalgae’ have the\nability to ‘fix’ or ‘captur
 e’ atmospheric CO2 as carbon rich\nbiological molecules such as lipids. So
 me species can accumulate\nupto 85% of their dry biomass in this form! The
  ‘algal oil’\nextracted from these oil-rich microorganisms hold enormous\n
 potential as the ‘fuel of the future’\; it has been predicted to\nbecome t
 he biggest contributor to 3rd generation biofuels (such as\nbiodiesel) as 
 well as becoming the backbone for future generations\nof bioenergy.\nIn my
  presentation\, I provide an introduction to microalgae as\nthe source for
  the next generation of biofuels. I also attempt to\nidentify the challeng
 es faced by algal oil and suggest the various\npossibilities that could he
 lp provide algal oil a more\neconomically\, and environmentally sustainabl
 e edge compared to\nfossil fuels.\nReviewers: Lauren Donnelly\, Ryan Garbe

  Properties and\nSecondary Structure\nXin Rui\nBeans are a group of legume
 s have high protein content as well as\nhigh level of mineral and lysine. 
 Incorporate beans into our daily\nfood is tremendous interesting by elevat
 ing the nutritional value\nof food and meet the worldwide malnutrition pro
 blem. Thermal\nproperty and secondary structure are basic characteristics 
 of\nprotein and close related to functional properties which have a\nguide
  role in food application. Nine varieties of beans broadly\ncultivated in 
 Canada were selected in this study. Their thermal\nproperties as well as s
 econdary structures were analyzed. This\npresentation would give an overvi
 ew of these results. Besides\, bean\nnutrients information\, background kn
 owledge about thermal property\nand secondary structure\, principles of th
 e techniques\, as well as\nsuggestions in food applications are also given

 \n\n\n\n \n\nCulture Shock\nCandice Young-Rojanshci\nIn an increasingly gl
 obalized world\, many engineers and managers\nwork for multinational or in
 ternational consultancies and will\nparticipate in projects abroad.  Other
 s study or take research\npositions in institutions not in their home coun
 try.  With\nrecent estimates of as many as 2 million Canadians presently l
 iving\nabroad on one hand\, and nearly 30% of the island of Montreal\npopu
 lated with people not originally Canadian on the other\, it is\ncritical t
 o examine some of the factors leading to failed\nexpatriate experiences.  
 “Culture shock” is an experience most\nexpatriates experience at some poin
 t or another.  This\npresentation looks at some of the present theories ab
 out culture\nshock\, and provides some tips for surviving it.\nReviewers:

 d Routing of the Ogunpa River in\nIbadan\, Nigeria\nPeter Adewale\nThe Ogu
 npa River\, one of the largest rivers in Ibadan town\, Oyo\nstate\, Nigeri
 a is significantly affected by human influence. The\nflood events of the r
 iver are due to the population and\ninterference of human activities. This
  channel is the holder for\nsewage\, domestic\, hospital and industrial wa
 stes. Poor waste\ndisposal habits are mainly responsible for the frequent 
 flooding of\nthe river especially at downstream reaches. The channel veloc
 ity in\nthe lower course tends to zero due to urbanization in this region
 \nof floodplain which leads to increase in runoff\, chemical and waste\npo
 llution. This is responsible for the stagnant nature of the river\nin the 
 lower course due to the compilation of heavy refuse. This\nregion of the r
 iver channel is susceptible to flooding at rainfall\npeaks.\nReviewers: Sa
