Atmospheric plasma surface modifications of organic polymers for applications in organic photovoltaic cells

Thin-film solar cells have great potential to replace conventional silicon-based cells, mainly because of their flexibility and low-cost materials. Nowadays, organic solar cells seem the brightest alternative, thanks to their non-toxic composition. Nonetheless, there still need to be solved challenges in their commercialization process. One of them, the loss of surfaces and interfaces of active layers, can be tackled with optimal plasma surface treatment. This project aims to utilize unique dielectric barrier discharge geometry to enhance interface properties. The main goal is to determine the optimal discharge parameters for surface modification and thus improve the polymer layer properties for their application in OSCs.

Tesla in Science Textbooks

Nikola Tesla is considered one of the greatest inventors in history and “the man who invented the 20th century”. Science textbooks mention a number of scientists when their work is related to a given topic and frequently include a biographical note with a photo. When it comes to Nikola Tesla, such information is often missing, even when the tesla unit is mentioned. For new editions of textbooks, authors and publishers regularly seek input from subject experts to assure that their manuscripts are accurate. Our research will focus on science textbooks in all levels of Canadian education and explore references to Tesla’s work where relevant to the topic. Where Tesla’s contributions may have been overlooked, we will prepare a suggested revision for the next edition of the textbook. This project is in line with the partner organizations’ key goals of promoting science, education and awareness of Tesla’s contribution to humanity.

Investigating Nano-Media in Communications, the Arts and Creative Communities

Investigating Nano-Media develops and disseminates groundbreaking technological innovations in the field of nanooptics and explores the possibilities of a new nano-material–nano-media–for communication, media and art practices. We deploy a pioneering multi-functional nano-fabric that comprises nano-substrates with embedded functionalities and new advanced fabrication processes. This unique nano-fabric is then further augmented by the processes of ‘nanography’ and ‘nano-photography’. The goal of these processes is to produce nanographic screens and to define them by developing methods and applications in a variety of scales and contexts, including installations, expositions, and publications, and assessing their formal, material, aesthetic and communicative possibilities. This interdisciplinary project is a collaboration between a scientist working at the cutting-edge of nanotechnologies, an intern specializing in digital media, publishing and cultural practices, as well as media practitioners–artists and designers–who provide an experimental framework to explore the unique characteristics and affordances of nanomedia. The project will initially implement technological integration of nano-media in art and culture in the areas of publishing, new media art and immersive environments, and lay the groundwork for its potential uses in other areas such as advertising, textiles and architecture.

Liquid-in-liquid printing of Janus constructs

Flexible and lightweight electronics are the basis of the Internet of Everything (IoE), where people, processes, data, and devices
will be integrated to change the future of mankind. Up to now, much research has been conducted on structures with
simultaneous high electrical conductivity and mechanical flexibility as the core of IoE. However, high-volume manufacturing,
reliability, and performance per cost remain elusive goals for the broad commercialization of these constructs. This project
focuses on a new 3D printing strategy called liquid-in-liquid printing. In this approach, the assembly of nanomaterials in the final
structure can be tuned to achieve higher electrical, thermal, and mechanical stability. Specifically, we want to expand the allliquid-
liquid extrusion printing of functional materials and achieve a new class of soft constructs named Janus liquid, i.e., Janus
liquid threads or Janus filaments. In this class of all liquid extrusion printing, nanoparticles with different functionalities are
heterogeneously distributed in two opposing faces of printed structures. These structures can be used for multi-modal sensing,
where nanoparticles on opposite sides respond to different stimuli.

The Perception of Pain in Others: Variations in Pain Expectations as Function of the Ethnic and Gender Profile

Efficient communication of pain increases chances of survival. Among communication channels, facial expression remains the most effective way for humans to communicate their pain. However, pain expressions are often significantly underestimated. This bias is even worse if the person in pain comes from ethnic minority groups or is a woman. Our interpretations would then be affected not only by the characteristics of the expressions of pain, but also by our knowledge and biases about the characteristics of pain sufferers. The main objective of this study is to verify if the ethnic and gender profile of the person in pain impacts the observer’s expectations (mental representation). Understanding the content of these representations can inform what an individual might have learned from their real-world interactions. To do so we will use a data-driven method that allows the modeling of observers’ dynamic mental representations of facial expressions across different face ethnicity and gender profiles.

Production de nano-objets fluorescents, obtenus par nanoprécipitation de dextranes modifiés par dendrons de TPE

Le projet consiste à formuler des objets nanométriques destinés à la vectorisation de médicaments et constitués d’un polysaccharide naturel biodégradable (dextrane) et de dendrimères aux propriétés de fluorescences AIE particulières. Dans le cas des molécules AIE, leur fluorescence augmente avec la concentration pour atteindre un maximum lorsque la molécule est agrégée (état solide). 
Le but de ce projet est tout d’abord de synthétiser des dérivés de dextrane en y greffant des dendrons fluorescents à surface TPE (tétraphényléthylène) afin d’obtenir les propriétés AIE recherchées. Après synthèse de ces dérivés amphiphiles Dextrane/TPE, le procédé de nanoprécipitation sera appliqué pour organiser ces macromolécules sous forme de nano-objets dont le cœur hydrophobe sera constitué de groupes TPE agrégés pouvant accueillir un principe actif et la surface hydrophile sera constituée par le dextrane qui permettra une circulation prolongée de l’objet dans l’organisme après injection jusqu’à une zone cible de libération dudit principe actif

Econext – Building a Toolkit for Entrepreneurial Newcomers interested in the Environmental Sector.

The project will focus on building a toolkit for newcomer entrepreneurs that helps to remove some of the initial barriers of starting a business in a location that you do not know anything about. Within the toolkit, a database of subject matter experts will be established, along with a compilation of links to government and industry sources. This work will establish a quick resource for newcomer entrepreneurs so that they can quickly gain insight into clean energy or any other environmental-related opportunities in Newfoundland and Labrador and best figure out where their business idea aligns and where the best resources are located to support the growth of their business. The toolkit will focus on information and data that are meant to decrease barriers to increase their business productivity and will also help in reducing upfront business development time.

Attitudes and motivators of parents for COVID-19 child vaccination: Results from the iCARE study in Australia and Canada

Vaccination against COVID-19 has recently become available in countries for children of all age (i.e.: 6 months and older). It allows to reduce the risk of serious complication, long-term consequences for children and lower the spread to and death of older individual who the children may infect. That being said, the current uptake of COVID-19 vaccination varies across countries and is generally quite low. The aim of this internship is to compare the change of COVID-19 vaccine attitudes and motivators among parents/guardians, regarding getting their children vaccinated against COVID-19 over time, and the extent to which this differs by the policies in place at the time of vaccine availability in different countries. Ultimately, this work will lead to more efficient vaccination messaging and efficient management of the pandemic (and future one) by understanding the impact policies on children vaccination.

A Bayesian Probability Network Approach To Predictive Modeling in Support of EffectiveManagement of Underwater Noise in Marine Mammal Habitat Year Two

Marine mammals have evolved to send and receive underwater sound as their primary means for communicating, finding food, and sensing their environment. Introducing human-generated and other unnatural sources of noise into their environment can cause potentially serious consequences, particularly for those species at conservation risk. Past work on predicting the behavioural response to excessive noise has ignored the variability in the sound field and in marine mammal behaviour. An important research gap is to incorporate these uncertainties in the predictions of marine mammal response to proposed industrial development projects. We propose to develop a probability-based network model that will quantify the uncertainties of marine mammal behaviour in response to various intensities and frequencies of industrial noise. This model will be both science and data driven and will provide a framework for assessing the likelihood of various behavioural responses, thereby acting as a management and decision support tool.

CFD analysis for onboard anemometer bias

OceanSync collects real time weather data, such as wind speed, wind direction, wave height and other atmospheric conditions on board of seafaring ships. Accurate data collection can be used to improve weather forecast, ocean/atmosphere modeling, satellite validation, climate change studies and reduce ships’ environmental footprint and transport costs. However, wind measurements made on ships are impacted by the location of the anemometer, wind speed, heading angle, and ship superstructure geometry. There are potential biases caused by the distortion of the air flow around the ship. In this project, high fidelity Computation Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulation of the wind flow field around a container ship superstructure will be performed. The distortion of the flow field around the ship superstructure will be investigated and measurement bias will be quantified.

Nutrient productivity of reef fish on degraded coral reefs

This project will investigate the rates at which coral reef fish grow and produce nutrients vital to human health. Climate change has caused habitat degradation on many coral reefs around the world, which affects the fish species supported by reefs and in turn the fish available to local fisheries. The production rates of reef fish are affected by the physical characteristics of the seabed as well as pressure from fisheries, and so these variables will be included in analyses of nutrient productivity. Knowing how nutrient production from fish is affected by climate-induced reef degradation is important for assessing the role reef fisheries can play in tackling nutrient deficiencies in coastal communities that rely on reef fish for food and nutrient security. Expected outcomes from this project include a PhD chapter that will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and conference presentations to share findings with others interested in the contribution of marine resources to human nutrition.
