The role of data intelligence software in assessing materiality: what is the potential and their limits?

This research project aims to determine how small and medium-sized businesses can use data intelligence software to improve reporting on their environmental footprint. The number of companies choosing to transparently report on their entire environmental and societal impacts have been increasing, including smaller businesses. As larger companies and corporates have been experimenting on the best methods and practices to report their impacts using data intelligence software to inform their stakeholders like the public and government, the smaller businesses usually face challenges in knowing the demands of their stakeholders. This study would closely examine the role played by data intelligence software for SMEs in improving their outreach to their stakeholders. This would ensure enhanced understanding between them and efficiently achieve social and environmental sustainability.

Education as a Capacity Building Mechanism to Foster Economic Development of Local Mining Communities.

This SEF/MITACS proposal seeks to develop a curriculum about mining and local economic development. The content of the curriculum is divided into two main parts: a) mining life cycle and its phases and b) the opportunities that mining activities can create to local communities. The ultimate goal in developing this curriculum is to create a workshop series that can be delivered to local community members, local leaders, aboriginal people, government representatives, etc., with the intention of building community capacity to identify and take advantage of the economic opportunities that a mining project can create. The development of this proposed mining education curriculum for communities in addition to fill a gap not fulfilled by the mining industry nor governments also becomes a business opportunity to SEF that can eventually provide its consulting services to the industry and / or communities.

Caractérisation de levures pour la production de bière faible en alcool et leur capacité à promouvoir la réduction des aldéhydes.

Les bières faibles en alcool ont souvent un goût de moût résiduel. Ce goût est causé par certains aldéhydes; des molécules qui proviennent du brassage de la bière et du touraillage du grain. Heureusement, durant la fermentation, ces aldéhydes peuvent être transformés en molécules aux arômes agréables. Ce projet s’intéresse aux différents facteurs qui peuvent maximiser cette transformation. En premier lieu, les pouvoirs réducteurs de différentes levures seront comparés. En second lieu, les conditions de fermentation seront modifiées afin de mieux comprendre la transformation des aldéhydes et les flaveurs qui en résultent. En dernier lieu, une étude qualitative sera menée sur les bières produites lors du projet. Mieux comprendre les interactions des levures et des aldéhydes et trouver des moyens de réduire leur concentration dans la bière aidera Lallemand à améliorer ses produits et développer de meilleures pratiques pour leur application.

Prédiction intelligente des défaillances dans les structures mécaniques et procédés

L’une des orientations majeures de la quatrième révolution industrielle est de rendre intelligents les systèmes de contrôle des structures et des processus industriels, par l’intégration de capteurs au cœur du procédé. L’installation d’un nombre considérable de capteurs à travers les endroits les plus à risque a permis d’obtenir des bases de données, structurées, massives et hétérogènes. Par conséquent, les stratégies de collecte de données, de leurs traitements et d’intervention doivent être continuellement à jour et fiables afin de garantir le meilleur indice de santé des machines et la prédiction la plus précise des modes défaillances. Ainsi, l’objectif principal de ce programme est le développement d’approches intelligentes d’aide à la prise de décision. Ces approches seront appliquées à des problématiques industrielles propres à chacun des partenaires. La formation du personnel hautement qualifié dans les domaines d’apprentissage automatique, de fiabilité des systèmes mécaniques constitue aussi un des objectifs de ce programme.

Bringing Climate Change Resilience Decision Support to the Greater Victoria 2030 District Buildings and Beyond

The impacts and uncertainty of climate change effects are a challenge to building owners. This project seeks to make it easier for commercial building owners to improve the climate change resilience of their buildings. A tool for supporting decision makers in planning retrofit actions for their buildings will be produced that reflects the local context and the uncertainty. In partnership with BOMA BC the tool will be tested with buildings in the Greater Victoria District 2030 with the goal of creating a tool that can be used by practitioners. This work will serve as a foundation to expand to other local contexts in BC, Canada and the District 2030 network.

Development of an effective process with aid of micro-organisms and fungus for reduction of environmentally destructive effect of spill oil toward ocean ecosystem protection.

The risk of an oil spill in the marine environment always exists during offshore oil production and transportation. The oil spill can affect the marine ecosystem, including seabirds, aquatic organisms and even humans health, both directly and indirectly. The best solution to the oil spill incident is collecting the spilled oil, extracting that from the marine environment and potentially taking it back to the energy cycle. However, depending on the situation and severity of the oil spill incident, it can be partially possible or even impossible. The hydrocarbon degradation using microorganisms is a crucial step toward sustainable spill oil treatment and minimizing the spill oil footprint. This study aims to screen and select effective indigenous microorganisms such as bacteria and fungus that can decompose all types of hydrocarbon substances in crude oil.

Design and optimization of low-frequency piezoelectric energy harvesters

Portable electronic applications are typically powered by batteries, which have limited lifespan and size constraints. Energy harvesting from the spatial environment is a promising solution to sustainable power supplies for low-power portable devices and sensor networks. Vibration-based energy harvesting has received much attention due to the recent advances in microfabrication of piezoceramic materials. These smart materials can convert mechanical parasitic vibrations to electric charge through the direct piezoelectric effect. The resulting energy can be extracted after using an interface circuit. We propose a novel wideband piezoelectric energy harvester that can be used as a long-term reliable electrical power supply for small electronic devices based on the low-frequency nature of environmental vibrations (e.g., wind, ocean waves). Therefore, the proposed energy harvester in this research has a lot of potential to be commercialized and deployed in inaccessible regions, like offshore and deep marine environments.

lnfluence of odour presentation on panelist response variability

Olfactometry is the science of using human subjects to measure odours without bias, as no instrument yet can replace the human nose. Recently, the method presenting odours to panellists has been identified as a potential element affecting response and measurement variability. Furthermore, the sensitivity of electronic noses also developed to measure odours remains an issue. The objective of the research is to use 3 odours and present them in 3 different ways to 6 panellists, and compare panelists’ response to that of two widely used commercial noses. The experimental work will beconducted in the olfactory laboratory of Consumaj Inc. in St-Hyacinthe. TOBECONT’D

Sustainable functionalized magnetic particles for efficient treatment of marine oil pollution

Oily wastewater production and discharge from different sources such as industries and daily human activities are the main sources of marine oil pollution. More importantly, accidental oil spills occurred in oil extraction/production, refining, and transportation stages can cause detrimental impacts on the aquatic ecosystems and marine environments. In this Lab2Market project, we apply a special coating solution provide a proper dispersibility aqueous/continuous in various environments to optimize the adsorption performance by considering all affective physiochemical variables to be improved for on-site purposes.

Approche autonome pour la cartographie des réseaux urbains souterrains

Le géoradar (GPR) est une technique électromagnétique (EM) pour l’imagerie non invasive de supports opaques, souvent utilisé pour les levés souterrains. Le traitement des données GPR, surtout dans des zones urbaines souterraines, repose sur des opérateurs qualifiés et implique de nombreuses étapes coûteuses. Les résultats sont souvent basés sur de larges hypothèses et impliquent une intervention humaine, source parfois d’incohérence et de biais subjectif, ce qui rend les résultats peu fiables.
Ce projet justifie et vise à développer, un nouveau classifieur basé sur un réseau de neurones, pour détecter et interpréter automatiquement les signaux en vue de la localisation et les orientations des infrastructures souterrains. La causalité entre les services publics souterrains et leurs signatures GPR sera étudiée. En plus, il permettra de développer une expertise dans le domaine de cartographie des réseaux souterrains. Ceci permettra à Groupe ABS de développer son avantage concurrentiel.

AK Platform – Soft skills learning as a key resource for faster job placement

Canada, a country composed presently of 20 percentage of immigrants, aims to be a world leader in global problem-solving. To do so, and to draw from the insights and ingenuity of the immigrant population, requires that Canadian organizations develop faster and more effective ways of adapting newcomers into the labor market. Especially, as extant research has found, that skilled immigrant workers are presently constrained within the labor market and this restricts Canadian organizational performance and curtails Canada’s competitiveness. Identifying the key soft skills needed in the Canadian labor market and finding innovative ways to pass this knowledge on is fundamental not only to reduce the length of time for immigrants and international students to adapt to Canadian culture but to also improve Canadian economic performance. This research project aims to review Canadian literature and academic publications containing soft skills analysis focusing on professional experiences in the Canadian Labor market for the last decade to identify the most coveted soft skills. The research will be conducted by a secondary research analysis systematic methodology with procedural and evaluative steps.
