Assessing potential interactions between wild and hatchery Chinook salmon in the early marine environment

Estuaries are crucial stopover areas for juvenile salmon during outmigration and especially for Chinook salmon who can reside in this habitat for over a month. Many populations of Chinook salmon from the Pacific Northwest are threatened and endangered making conservation important for this species. In response to relatively small returns to spawning grounds, hatchery production of salmon has been used to bolster population numbers. Utilization of eelgrass habitat in the estuary contributes to dietary reserves needed for early marine life. Hatchery and wild Chinook may use estuary habitat differently resulting in potential competition and dissimilar diets which impact overall survival. Raincoast Conservation Foundation has funding to study habitat use of hatchery and wild Chinook and diet over different temporal scales. This research will describe hatchery impacts on wild Chinook and aid improve understanding of Chinook habitat usage throughout the Fraser estuary.

Verification of Smart Contracts for Security Properties Rooted in Computational Complexity

Smart contracts are digital code similar to physical contracts, but hosted, executed and guaranteed by a trusted network called a blockchain. They are a significant step forward in the specification and enforcement of contracts because they can be executed and their conditions enforced much faster than physical contracts. A significant technical issue regards the verification that a smart contract indeed satisfies some desirable property, e.g., that a clause will indeed be triggered if some condition is satisfied. This issue arises because a smart contract is typically specified imperatively, whereas properties of interest are stated declaratively. While a number of software tools have been proposed for this problem, recent work has identified significant gaps in them. This proposed work takes a systematic approach to the design and implementation of two verification tools for smart contracts that is rooted in computing foundations. The partner organization has interest in exactly this kind of technology, and intends to leverage it to positively impact their core business.

Behaviour of a double angle connection in a composite beam-to-steel column joint system

The purpose of this project is to determine the rotational stiffness of a double angle assembly used to support the beams forming part of the floor supporting a composite slab with shear studs. Although this type of connection is considered to be free to rotate, the hypothesis that this type of connection can transmit bending to the columns will be verified through this research project. These results will allow the designers of the connections, as well as the designers of the structure as a whole, to better understand the load path of the forces in this type of steel structure, and potentially leading to savings of the fabrication costs for such connections. The industrial partner will benefit from the contribution of a research intern who will contribute to the development of the company and allow this company to stand out in the North American market due to its applied technological advancement.

Characterization of noncoding RNA products of the Pax-5 gene

Our research team studies genetic elements that lead to the development and progression of cancer. One of these genes, called Pax-5, normally controls cellular activity and growth of healthy cells. However, deregulated levels of Pax-5 products also lead to cell hyperactivity and cancer. Recently, we have identified a new class of products, which derive from the Pax-5 gene; called circular RNAs (circRNAs). Studies on circRNAs show that they usually bind and inhibit important regulators (ex: microRNAs) of cell hyperactivity and homeostasis. Our preliminary findings show that circRNA levels of the Pax-5 gene are 20 times higher in cancer patients in comparison to healthy individuals. Consequently, elevated levels of Pax-5 circRNAs bind and inhibit microRNAs, which are required to inhibit cancer behaviour. The aim of this study is to characterize the specific microRNAs regulated by Pax-5 circRNAs in blood cancer. The knowledge gained from this study is important to understand the regulators of blood cancer and to develop better anticancer strategies.

Engineering of glycan-binding proteins for mapping cancer glycomics

Over the last decade, chemical biology approaches have proven increasingly successful, delivering new solutions to problems that were previously unresponsive to traditional chemical and biochemical techniques. In the fields of proteomics and genomics, new diagnostics and therapeutic strategies are revolutionizing healthcare. However, in the field of glycomics, tractable strategies to study glycan (carbohydrate)-mediated processes remain scarce. In addition, current approaches cannot capture the glycoconjugate ligands of glycan-binding proteins (lectin) in physiologically relevant environments, like living cells. Current methods like glycan chips often overlook the multivalent complexity of glycoproteins on living cells and ignore the protein part of glycoconjugates. Thus, the physiological ligands of most lectins remain unknown. Using protein engineering and synthetic biology, the primary aim for this project is to generate tools that will enable us and others to capture transient glycan-protein interactions in an efficient way. Ultimately these tools will be used to characterize altered glycan recognition in disease models and clinical samples.

Optimisation de l’efficacité antimicrobienne des dons de granulocytes destinés à la transfusion.

Le but de cette recherche est d’améliorer les propriétés thérapeutiques d’un produit sanguin qui peut sauver des vies des patients avec une infection sévère due à un système immunitaire affaiblie. Ces patients ont un nombre insuffisant de neutrophiles ou des neutrophiles qui ne fonctionnent pas très bien. Les neutrophiles sont des globules blancs qui jouent un rôle crucial dans le combat de notre corps contre des infections. Un produit sanguin enrichi en neutrophiles connu sous le nom de concentré de granulocytes, est une thérapie de dernier recours pour ces patients quand ils ont des infections résistantes aux traitements habituels. Toutefois, les concentrés de granulocytes sont seulement certifiés pour le nombre de neutrophiles est pas leur activité antimicrobienne. L’objectif de ce projet est de développer un test pour certifier l’activité antimicrobienne des concentrés de granulocytes. De plus, nous proposons d’améliorer les conditions d’entreposage de ces concentrés pour mieux préserver les neutrophiles.

Generative models for controlled generation of synthetic sequence-based datasets – Continued

At a high level, the goal of this project is to create a system for producing synthetic datasets based on real data. As a large financial crime detection firm, Verafin deals with large volumes of sensitive data which must be kept private, however they are also interested in collaborating with academics to gain new insights into their data. In this project we will use recent developments from the field of generative modeling to design a system which can create synthetic datasets which are nearly indistinguishable from the true data they are mimicking, while not exposing information which must be kept private. In addition to making it easier for Verafin to collaborate with external parties, another benefit is Verafin can use the synthetic data to create more realistic product demonstrations for potential clients.

Evaluating the Role of Learning and Experience on Postural Response and Fall Prevention in Offshore Environments

Slips, trips, and falls (STFs) are a major concern in occupational environments, accounting for a significant portion of all reported work-related injuries. These concerns are even greater in moving environments, like those of Newfoundland and Labrador’s offshore petroleum industry. This proposed research aims to address the industry’s STF concerns through analysis of worker’s postural responses to motions similar to those experienced while working offshore. This initial research will lay the strong groundwork needed for the subsequent development of effective measures to help prepare new workers to better adapt to their work environments. It will also help address hazards through a research-based STF prevention program specifically designed for the unique rigors of the offshore petroleum industry. This work will be accomplished by one research project lasting four months and taking place in a laboratory setting. Through this work the partner industry will gain knowledge and expertise that can be used to address the immediate STF-related concerns of the company, as well as being applied to other potential issues related to worker performance in moving offshore environments.
