Achieving quality control during veneer drying by using big data statistics

Veneer drying has traditionally been done using a qualitative approach. Although it is effective in assessing how any modification in parameters impacts veneer quality, it often yields a significant loss in quality due to delays involved in reaching the kiln’s steady state following parameter modification. However, kilns are now being equipped with various sensors that allow the tracking of many parameters related to both the kiln and the veneers. The research objective is to link raw material characteristics with the veneer drying process. The intern will use big data statistics to identify what process parameter have the most impact on product quality and how those significant parameters should be controlled. TO BE CONT’D

Développement d’un procédé novateur de traitement des lixiviats hautement chargés issus du procédé de compostage

Ce projet de recherche vise à développer un procédé innovant pour répondre à une problématique de traitement des eaux usées à laquelle font face les centres de traitement en Amérique du nord. Les variations climatiques saisonnières limitent les capacités de traitement du procédé conventionnel de lagunage en termes de volume de traitement et de réduction de la charge de contaminants. Cette problématique est aussi liée à une contrainte d’espace puisque d’importants bassins de rétention sont nécessaires pour recueillir les eaux en période froide. Ce projet consiste à développer un procédé combinant un réacteur biologique aux technologies de filtration membranaire pour répondre aux besoins spécifiques des centres de compostage. Ce projet est avantageux pour l’entreprise partenaire puisqu’il permettra de réduire l’empreinte au sol de son traitement des eaux et d’augmenter ses capacités de compostage tout en améliorant ses pratiques environnementales.

Développement d’une méthode de conception des sols ciments et des fondations stabilisées au ciment pour routes à l’aide de l’essai de plaque française

Afin d’obtenir une infrastructure efficace et durable, il est primordial que ses composants résistent aux intempéries et à l’usure des usagers. L’amélioration des sols d’infrastructures et des fondations routières peut se faire de différentes manières, notamment en y ajoutant un liant hydraulique. On décrit alors le résultat comme étant « stabilisé » ou en d’autres mots, amélioré. Bien qu’il s’agisse d’une technologie à fort potentiel, le Québec l’utilise peu et les lacunes d’informations pour les donneurs d’ouvrages et entrepreneurs n’encouragent pas la diversification des méthodes de construction employées. Par conséquent, un guide de conception responsable et soucieux de la performance en chantier, par l’essai à la plaque, facilite l’innovation et de meilleures solutions techniques.

Desensitization of aero-engine performance and stall margin to tip clearance gap increase

The degradation in performance and operating envelope of aero-engines with age and during critical transient operating conditions such as take-off is a well-known phenomenon. It is mainly caused by the increase in size of the tiny gap between the tip of the compressor rotor blades and the shroud, called tip clearance, from wear and/or shroud thermal expansion, which results in a drop of compressor pressure rise, efficiency and safety margin against aerodynamic instabilities. Two recent doctoral projects at École Polytechnique de Montréal carried out with numerical simulations proposed an explanation for this phenomenon in axial compressors and corrective design strategies. The present research aims to validate these findings on a spectrum of realistic axial compressors so that they can be applied to all axial compressors. This research is then extended to centrifugal compressors. TO BE CONT’D

Applying Deep Learning to Optimize 3D Pose Estimation from Monocular Video

REP is an athlete development platform for building better, and healthier athletes. Inside the REP platform are computer algorithms that can “see” how people move, and the accurately estimate how they are moving in three dimensions. The REP platform can then compare models of how you move, to models of how experts move. This comparison gives us rich information that people can use to improve their form. However, generating the expert models is quite hard, and it’s not always easy to understand how to actually compare users and experts. This MITACS project will allow us to work with a talented computer vision researcher to optimize our system through integrating our existing training datasets.

Chirps for thought

The global meat demand is expected to roughly double by 2050. While the livestock sector monopolizes a lot of land, food and water, edible insects constitute as an interesting alternative to lower environmental stress. Even though almost a quarter of the world population regularly eat insects, their widespread adoption is impeded by the disgust factor and high production costs. In order to facilitate the introduction of edible insects as a locally-produced source of protein for urban populations, this project will see the implementation of a cricket farm promoting community engagement assessing consumer behavior. It will also offer educational programs and provide cricket farm installation services allowing for more people to engage in urban agriculture and diversifying production exchanges between urban farmers. Alvéole would also greatly benefit from this project by diversifying both their insect domestication and educational services, while expanding their range of insect by-products on the market.

Appropriate sensor signal analysis and abstraction in physical activity game design

The intern will be involved in the research of state of the art detection of activity from common devices that scales with the sensor capabilities of these devices (i.e. the most basic being accelerometers moving up towards camera detection of physical activity). The intern will strive to create algorithms preventing false positives from occurring and investigating new ways of using sensors and combinations of sensors to digitally capture activity. Output of research is intended to form the basis of key foundational detection techniques for a family of products.

Accelerate development of new technologies and applications for advanced water treatment – Year two

Global population growth, urbanization and changing climate patterns have increased the demand for potable water, wastewater reuse and value recovery from wastewater, and treatment of industrial process water. Population growth also results in increased demand for the shipping of goods by ocean freight, with the associated risk of the transport of unwanted marine life from one location to another by the discharge of ballast water. Also, the increasing sophistication of food and drug production requires a corresponding development of fluid protection technologies to prevent contamination by undesirable microbes. Consequently, there is increased demand for improved technologies that can provide sustainable treatment of water and wastewaters, protection of the water supply, and development of new fluid treatment methods. This research project will develop knowledge and technologies to allow the development of new Trojan Technologies products in these three areas. TO BE CONT’D

Microbial modifying properties of iodinated water in animal production

The iodination of water has been identified as a means to improve animal performance, particularly in the poultry industry. Iodine has been used as an antimicrobial agent under several applications, however, it is unclear how water iodination results in improved animal performance. We hypothesize that iodinated water can improve performance either by reducing pathogen load, or by altering the intestinal microbial community. BioLargo Water, Inc., specializes in leveraging iodine chemistry for applications in water treatment. To further develop iodinated water as a useful strategy in animal production, it is important to identify the impact it has on the population of microbes in the intestinal tract, including endemic pathogens. Through this collaboration we hope to understand how iodinated water impacts the normal microbial population of poultry, the effect on enteric pathogens including Salmonella and determine whether there are any alterations in innate immunity and mucosal defense of the chicken gastrointestinal tract.

Forêt s’Adapter : Pour le développement d’une sylviculture favorisant l’adaptation des forêts de la Vallée du Haut-St-Laurent aux changements globaux

Au Canada, la forêt privée joue un rôle fondamental dans le fonctionnement des paysages agro-forestiers en procurant d’importants biens et services tant aux propriétaires des boisés qu’à leurs communautés environnantes. Ces forêts devront faire face à des conditions futures incertaines causées par les changements globaux, comme c’est le cas pour les forêts de la Vallée du Haut-St-Laurent (Qc, Canada) où ce projet se déroule. Ces menaces pourront mettre en péril l’intégrité écologique et la capacité à procurer des services écosystémiques. Les propriétaires cherchent des solutions pour rendre leurs boisés moins vulnérables. Ce projet vise à répondre à un premier besoin qui est d’identifier et cartographier les vulnérabilités des forêts aux menaces des changements globaux tels les sècheresses occasionnées par les changements climatiques, les invasions biologiques, les polluants atmosphériques et le dépérissement.

Novel Cell-surface Engineering Methods to Increase Immune-tolerance of Allogenic Cell Transplantation

Blood transfusion is required for surgery, for the treatment of traumatic accidents and for patients with disorders that require lifelong transfusion therapy. However, when patients receive “mismatched” blood transfusion, their immune system will attack and destroy red blood cells with surface sugars and proteins that differ from their own. This results in massive immune responses in patients, causing shock and even death. In this study, we will use a specialized machinery protein called enzyme to “glue” globular hyperbranched polyglycerol (HPG) polymers to the surface of red blood cells to mask the surface sugars and proteins to generate universal donor red blood cells. This study will make the blood transfusion much safer and help solve the shortage of blood supply worldwide by creating red blood cells that can be transfused to people regardless of their blood types, which are the founding objectives of Canadian Blood Services.
