Antibacterial agents derived from chemically modified bacterial cellulose

Cellulose as the most abundant natural polymer is produced is produced by trees, and some microorganisms. Certain types of aerobic bacteria such as Gluconacetobacter xylinus are able to biosynthesize a unique extracellular form of this polysaccharide, known as bacterial cellulose (BC). However, Similar to other nanocelluloses, BC exhibits properties such as insolubility in common solvents and lack of antibacterial activity, which are not favorable. To improve or promote these characteristics, the chemical (e.g. surface functionalization) and physical modifications (e.g. change in porosity, crystallinity and fiber density) of cellulose by in situ and ex situ methods are required. Relying on these modifications, a common approach to endow the BC materials with antibacterial properties is physically adsorbing or chemically conjugating organic or inorganic antimicrobial agents on them. However, chemically conjugated composites show extremely long-term antibacterial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Considering all these points, the objective of present research is to develop highly efficient antibacterial BC-based composites via chemical modifications and explore their capabilities for biomedical applications (e.g. drug delivery, wound dressing, drug carriers).

System Confidence in Carbon Avoidance Quantifications

The escalating energy demands and increasing impact of emissions on the environment have driven the need for new and environment-friendly alternative fuels in place of the commonly used yet hazardous and depleting fossil fuels. Identification of the suitable hydrogen production method is dependent on two major analysis methods: the analysis of the resources available in the Windsor area to produce clean hydrogen with an acceptable purity and a detailed lifecycle assessment to determine the emissions that result during the production of the fuel. The results of the analyses are used to determine an ideal method of generation using a multi-object analysis.

Distance-Restricted Firefighting

As financial networks grow limiting the spread of illicit funds becomes an increasingly important aspect of security. We model this spread within a network-like structure called a graph and examine how best to defend against the spread of these illicit funds. This problem has been examined in the past and we further that knowledge by restricting the defender’s ability to defend the network, thus allowing our models to behave more similarly to the real world in certain applications.

Une tomate pour l’agriculture urbaine à Montréal, évaluation de la tolérance au climat local de 80 cultivars de Solanum lycopersicum L.

Et s’il existait une tomate vraiment montréalaise ? Une tomate à la fois productive et adaptée à ce terroir urbain si particulier ? Que les variétés de tomates disponibles chez les semenciers montréalais soient ancestrales ou nouvellement créées, Ahmed Jerbi va explorer cette agrobiodiversité pour découvrir celles qui répondent le mieux aux conditions de cultures les moins exigeantes en termes d’empreinte écologique et qui seront peut-être aussi les plus appropriées dans un contexte de changement climatique. L’IRBV souhaite ainsi appuyer de son expertise scientifique les initiatives locales les démarches innovantes qui favorisent le renouveau d’un terroir local résilient pour une transition écologiques réussie.

Operational Optimization and Crop Innovation in Vertical Farming

Vertical farming is an emerging industry driven by the intersection of rising food prices, climate volatility and reduced technology costs. However, there are two major barriers to the widespread adoption and long-term viability of vertical farming among prospective entrepreneurs, farmers, and food businesses: high capital costs associated with turn-key vertical farm systems and limitations to the diversity of crops that have been cultivated. Boreal Greens, a Canadian Ag-Tech innovation company, is developing and prototyping a mid-market, Canadian-made, vertical farming solution with communities and smallholder farmers in mind. In order to design their product to address the two major barriers in the field, Boreal Greens is partnering with Seneca’s School of Accounting and Financial Services to answer two important questions:1) Given the current landscape of Canadian food prices, which crops are most profitable and applicable for cultivation in vertical farms, and 2) what equipment is currently best practice or emerging in the industry to reduce labour and time-intensive tasks? This research will have the prospective intern working closely with academic lead Professor West Suhanic and President of Boreal Greens Brandon Hebor to answer these questions through investigation into a range of market conditions, pricing information, technology scans, and business projections.

A High-Efficient High-Reliable GaN-Based Multilevel Inverters for Renewable Energy Application

Burning of fossil fuels causes serious problems including air pollution and global warming. As a result, harvesting and employing of clean and renewable energies including photovoltaic and wind energies are getting vital and necessary. Harvesting of these energies, although, has its own issues. These clean energies should be converted to the proper form of energy and then they can be used. This is why some converters are needed to be designed. In these converters, the efficiency and reliability are two main concerns. The efficiency affects the reliability of the system and as the efficiency increases, the reliability increases too. A higher reliability also leads to a lower maintenance cost. In this project, we will be working on the efficiency and reliability improvement of these converters and we will propose a high-reliable high-efficient converters.
