DESCRIPTION:BIORESOURCE ENGINEERING SEMINAR\n\n\nItem 1: Seminar by Anteneh
  Meshesha\nThe Importance of Honeybees\n...\nHoneybees have a significant 
 impact on human life. Their\ndomestication has led to the production of va
 rious products for\nhuman consumption such as honey and wax. As well\, the
 y are\nefficient pollinators for many fruits and vegetables which humans\n
 consume daily. Recently\, honeybee populations have experienced\nlarge dec
 lines. The theories explaining this phenomenon vary but\,\nwhat is certain
  is that\, if it continues\, it will have a\ndetrimental effect on agricul
 tural production.\n\nOriginally born in Ethiopia\, Anteneh is currently in
  his first year\nof the MSc program of the department of Bioresource Engin
 eering\,\nworking under the supervision of Dr. Adamowski. He completed his
 \nBachelor of Science at 9I制作厂免费.\n\n\nItem 2: Seminar by Ariahn
 a Jones\nThe Evolution of Yoga\n\nThe popularity of Yoga has increased sub
 stantially over the past\ndecade. Yoga's visibility in the media exposes i
 ts diversity and\nthe varied reasons people are turning to it. The physica
 l benefits\nof a toned and flexible body have been emphasized in modern yo
 ga\nclasses\, but there are benefits beyond just the physical aspect\nthat
  can be realized with yoga. On a deeper level\, Yoga includes\npractices t
 hat lead us to a new awareness by opening and unifying\nbody\, mind\, and 
 heart. Today\, Yoga's social reality reflects the\nmeeting of an ancient I
 ndian spiritual path and American business.\nAs the practice of Yoga expan
 ds into the mainstream\, it is\nimportant to take a quick look at the hist
 ory of yoga to help us\nappreciate its rich tradition\, and how the phenom
 ena that is\nsweeping the world today is rooted in an ancient practice whi
 ch is\nmuch more than a fitness routine.\n\nAriahna Jones is an MSc candid
 ate in the Integrated Water Resource\nManagement Program. Originally from 
 Washington State\, she attended\nWestern Washington University where she m
 ajored in Geography with\nminors in GIS and Environmental Education. Worki
 ng in the outdoor\nindustry for the past few years has fueled her passion 
 for the\nprotection and preservation of Earth's invaluable and finite\nnat
 ural resources which\, in turn has led her to the program at\n9I制作厂免费.\n\n
 \nItem 3: Seminar by Jorge Diaz Martinez\nColombia is Passion\n\nColombia 
 has been stigmatized as a dangerous country. Since five\nyears ago\, the C
 olombian government has implemented a campaign\,\nColombia is Passion\, to
  improve the country鈥檚 reputation. This\ncampaign has resulted in increase
 d tourism\, and all Bioresource\nEngineering students\, teachers and staff
  are welcome to visit\nColombia.\n\nJorge comes from Colombia. He is a mec
 hanical engineer from Los\nAndes University in Bogot谩. He has worked on th
 e design of\nhydroelectric plants\, aqueducts and an ethanol plant in Colo
 mbia\,\nM茅xico and Ecuador. He is in his the first year of the Master\ndeg
 ree\, working under the supervision of Dr. Raghavan.\n\n\nItem 4: Seminar 
 by David Sims\nGeology and water management\n\nMetal mining in Canada invo
 lves significant expenditures to manage\nwater effluent from tailings pond
 s. As regulations become more\nstringent\, metal mine operations are under
  increasing pressure to\nbetter manage their tailings ponds and prevent co
 ntaminated water\nlosses into the environment. One of the main issues with
  improperly\ndesigned tailings dams is often not the dam itself\, but the 
 bedrock\non which it is built. In this presentation the various specialtie
 s\nof geology will be examined\, and how each of them contributes to\nthe 
 evaluation of bedrock below tailings dams to improve water\ntightness.\n\n
 David has a degree in geology with a minor in environmental\nstudies/ rest
 oration from the University of Victoria\, BC (1999). He\nhas worked as an 
 environmental/geotechnical consultant for the\nmining industry and is curr
 ently doing his Master鈥檚 in Integrated\nWater Resource Management\, with a
  focus on hydrogeology and\ngroundwater modeling.\n\n\nItem 5: Seminar by 
 Kana Matsui:\nAgricultural Villages in Japan\n\nContrary to popular belief
 \, there is much more to Japan than\nadvanced robot and videogame technolo
 gy and the traditional Zen or\n鈥渟amurai鈥� culture. Currently\, a major nati
 onal issue is\nagricultural sustainability and food security. In this pres
 entation\nI will briefly explore some agricultural characteristics of Japa
 n\nand some current issues. I will illustrate these with examples of\nrece
 nt village movements.\n\nKana was born in Japan but raised in the United S
 tates. She\ngraduated with a Civil/Environmental Engineering degree from t
 he\nUniversity of Maryland and is currently in her first semester of a\nno
 n-thesis Master鈥檚 degree\, supervised by Professor Jan\nAdamowski.\n
