Étude des rôles de la voie Hippo dans la physiologie utérine normale de l’utérus bovin

La voie Hippo est une voie de signalisation intra-cellulaire régulant différents processus tels que la prolifération et la différentiation cellulaire. Il a été démontré que la voie Hippo est impliquée dans le développement et la physiologie de l’utérus chez différentes espèces, dont la souris. Ses rôles dans la physiologie utérine bovine sont toutefois méconnus. De ce fait, l’objectif principal de notre étude est d’étudier cette voie de signalisation dans les fonctions physiologiques normales de l’utérus bovin. Pour ce faire, nous allons prélever des biopsies endométriales chez des bovins à divers stades du cycle œstral. Cela nous permettra d’évaluer les niveaux d’expression des effecteurs de la voie Hippo ainsi que de ses gènes cibles et leur rôle durant les différentes périodes du cycle œstral. Diverse analyses histologiques et moléculaires seront effectuées. Cette étude nous permettra de bien caractériser la voie Hippo dans l’utérus bovin et de comprendre ses implications dans la physiologie utérine normale et potentiellement dans le développement de maladies utérines bovines.

Les transformations du militantisme étudiant post-révolutionnaire en Tunisie

L’objectif de ce projet est de comprendre comment un mouvement social comme le mouvement étudiant tunisien, ne bénéficiant ni de financement public ni d’inclusion formelle dans les organes de décision, parvient à transformer un tant soit peu l’espace social dans lequel il s’implique, c’est-à-dire l’université. Il suffit pour s’en convaincre de se rappeler les multiples «?réformes?» initiées par le ministère de tutelle, touchant des secteurs particuliers (Ingénieur, études de droit, etc.) puis abandonnés à la suite de mobilisations étudiantes multiformes, ainsi que les amendements réglementaires dont ce mouvement était à l’origine depuis 2011. À travers une enquête de terrain, cette thèse accordera un intérêt particulier aux impacts de la conjoncture politique que traverse le pays depuis la révolution de 2010-2011, aux formes et outils de mobilisation de ce mouvement, aux enjeux organisationnels qui le traversent et à ses stratégies d’alliance avec d’autres acteurs à l’intérieur comme à l’extérieur de l’université.

Mill Manufacturing Process Anomaly Detection

The objective is to develop models that can identify types and frequency of process inefficiencies that may eventually result in the decline of production at the mills below a certain threshold level. The outcome of this project is an early detection of process inefficiencies that will enable the operation team to predict production outcomes ahead and to share knowledge to mitigate labor shortage.

Observation-based evaluation of cold-region land surface simulations under climate change

Canada depends on seasonal snowfalls for much of its freshwater supply, and climate change is expected to have a major impact on the quantity, and quality, of available freshwater. However, the models that scientists use to make
future projections of water availability are not perfect, which creates uncertainty in the exact future scenario that will unfold over the next 80-100 years. A major new project called Canada1Water brings together atmospheric, hydrologic and cryospheric scientists from academia, government and private industry to improve models and make better projections of future changes to water availability across Canada. The Mitacs-funded research will assemble and assess a new set of climate data products that will be used to test the accuracy of the atmospheric and landsurface models being used to make the future projections. The interns will calculate adjustments—known as bias corrections??to ensure that the projections are as reliable as possible.

A Synthesis of Current Workplace Equity and Diversity Practices

Over the past 10 years, industry has drawn on different principles to support the creation of more inclusive and diverse workplaces. These principles include Equity, Diversity and Inclusion; Gender Based Analysis; decolonization; and safe spaces. In this research project, we will read what experts have written about these topics to find out what is most relevant to workplace training. We will also do a survey with selected companies to learn what approaches they are using. Then, we will review what we have found and ask, “What ideas are common to all or many of these approaches?” These shared values and practices will be presented in two reports and a factsheet that explain what makes these approaches important and helpful. Using these findings, Calian will develop training materials that can be used by the private, public, and NGO sectors to enhance their workplace policies and foster a more inclusive work environment.

Anonymity in the context of Data-neighborhoods

The project investigates the transformation of anonymity in times of networked-data by looking into the history of urban
neighborhood design and its relation to neighborhood-related machine learning algorithms, such as k-nearest-neighbor (KNN).
This method analyzes behavioral patterns to form groups (neighborhoods) of actors with the same characteristics (neighbors).
This groupingis then deployed to understand and predict the actions of similar actors. KNN is used extensively at the exploratory
stages of model development and has been central to the production of algorithms designed to ‘personalize’ digital services
because it operates with cluster specific, therefore ‘anonymized’ instead of personal data (so it is, for example, not subject to
certain privacy restrictions). The work draws from extensive ethnographic with actors who have developed social media
neighborhood platforms and recommendation systems in Germany und Silicon Valley, to reveal how the relation of anonymity and
(data-)neighborhoods affects subjectivity, fairness and relations of equality and differenece in machine learning algorithms. At
SFU my work will be connected with undergraduate and graduate-level students and postdoctural researchers within the Digital
Democracies group to foster and integrate work on Vancouver neighborhoods and urban history.

DETONATION : Prédiction et l’optimisation des sources acoustiques à l’aide de l’apprentissage profond

Traditionnellement, la nuisance sonore a toujours été une problématique au coeur de l’aviation moderne avec l’avènement du turboréacteur. De plus, l’apparition de nouvelles technologies comme les drones ou les taxis volants urbains avec des hélices multiples ne fait qu’accentuer la part prépondérante du bruit généré par les machines tournantes dans les moyens de transport aériens. Sa prédiction et sa réduction est donc un enjeu sociétal majeur.
L’objectif du projet est de développer des outils de prédiction rapides des sources de bruit liés aux écoulements sur des machines tournantes, et les problèmes inverses associés tels que la détection de sources ou d’anomalies, à partir de techniques d’intelligence artificielle. Ces outils seront intégrés dans la plateforme logicielle Optisound™ développé par le partenaire industriel Optis en collaboration avec l’université de Sherbrooke afin de répondre plus rapidement et plus efficacement aux besoins industriels de réduction de bruit.

Propagation Production Planning for Cannabis at EXKA

This project aims to develop a tool that would assist EXKA, a company that produces and sells seedlings of cannabis, to plan the propagation of a variety of cannabis types in order to meet the customers’ orders on time. EXKA employs different ways to grow a cannabis plant, therefore the project will coordinate the growth of the plants using different methods all while respecting the limited capacity available and taking into account uncertainty. By also considering the inventory, this prototype will allow the company to digitalize their whole production process and facilitate their decision making whenever an order comes in. This would require some research and some data analytics, but the partner organization is expected to rely on this program so that it would always satisfy the customer’s needs.

Construction of Canada’s First 3D Printed Residential Homes – A Demonstration Project

This Mitacs project is a demonstration project through which four small residential homes will be printed in the Windsor-Essex region. This project will be the first construction project in Canada where 3D printing technologies will be used to build residential homes. These homes will be built by Habitat for Humanity Windsor-Essex for low-income families and homeless teenagers. The objective is to introduce and implement these cutting-edge 3D printing technologies in Canada’s construction industry. Since an automated machine will be building the main structure, productivity will significantly increase and greenhouse gas emissions will be significantly reduced. The goal is to use an automated construction process to make homes more affordable and environmentally sustainable. The lessons learned from this project will lay the foundation for future projects where affordable homes will be built using a 3D concrete printer. The Mitacs interns will have the unique opportunity to learn this novel construction process.

Improving Efficiency of Operations in Paint Shop and Pre-flight Processes at Bombardier Aerospace Company (Toronto Plant)

The principles of lean engineering design are well documented for the automotive industry – where they have served to revolutionize the efficiencies of North American manufacturing operations. Lean engineering has subsequently been transferred into other sectors – where it continues to generate impressive results. The aerospace industry is faced with demands for efficiency of operations, and the throughput of existing plant operations are being challenged to meet increased needs for aircraft to support the growth of emerging markets, and the need for more fuel efficient aircraft. The aerospace industry has a legacy of craftsmanship execution and knowledge transfer through skilled employees that have employed their trade in the industry for decades, and have developed a wealth of expertise and tribal knowledge. order to increase efficiencies of operations – it is necessary to develop a rigorous documentation protocol to record the exact tasks performed at all stages of the assembly process – in a format that can be used by industrial engineers. Once this process is thoroughly documented through SOP – production bottlenecks and efficiency bottlenecks can be understood and measured – with opportunities for improvement clearly identified
