RAUQ – FSA UL

Le Réseau d’agriculture urbaine de Québec (RAUQ) est un organisme à but non lucratif. Depuis 2009, il organise la Fête des Semences de Québec chaque printemps. Le RAUQ agit aussi en matière de concertation des acteurs par rapport aux questions touchant l’agriculture urbaine, l’éducation et la promotion, la représentation de ses membres, la participation aux débats publics ainsi que la mutualisation des ressources. Alors que l’organisme misait sur 2020 pour se déployer dans de nouvelles activités et se consolider, la pandémie a exiger de repenser un grand nombre d’activités, dont la Fête des semences qui rassemble annuellement de 3000 à 6000 personnes. La pandémie a aussi apporté une vague d’intérêt incroyable envers l’agriculture et le développement d’une plus grande autonomie alimentaire, tant d’un point de vue individuel que collectif. Développement durable, transition écologique, achat local, saines habitudes de vie, alimentation saine et locale ont été des thèmes hautement populaires sur la place publique les derniers mois. Le gouvernement provincial a d’ailleurs affirmé sa volonté de soutenir le développement d’une plus grande autonomie alimentaire pour le Québec.

Quantum Proofs for Skeptical Verifiers

A verifier-prover — where a “prover” suggests an answer to a question, which is then checked by a “verifier” — is a powerful analytical tool in computer science. As an example, understanding the number of transactions required to answer a computational question in a prover-verifier setting offers insights into the difficulty of that computational problem. Problems that can be solved with few transactions between a quantum prover and classical verifier is said to have complexity “QMA”. Unfortunately, even a modest modification, where the quantum prover is untrusted (its purported answers may sometimes be in error), is not yet fully understood. Understanding the implications of an untrusted quantum prover (e.g. How might one handle QMA problems despite an untrusted quantum prover?) is particularly relevant given the rapid development of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (“NISQ”) machines. This project seeks to develop proof systems robust against an untrusted quantum prover.

Use of an alternative source of dietary nitrogen on amino acid requirements and utilization in growing pigs

Determining methods to improve nutrient utilization in pigs is critical to improving the environmental, social, and economic sustainability of pork production in Canada. The objective of this project is to examine the use of an alternative source of dietary nitrogen and its impact on amino acid requirements and utilization in growing pigs. In disseminating results of this project, Gowans will achieve its mandate of providing novel nutrition information its client base for the benefit of the commercial swine operations. This will allow for continual improvement with which GFC can provide nutrition advice and will have a direct impact at the farm level.

Les savoirs mobilisés par les élus municipaux en contexte de municipalisation du développement

La recherche qui sera effectuée dans le cadre de ce stage chez Communagir vise à acquérir des connaissances sur les savoirs que les élus des petites municipalités québécoises mobilisent dans l’exercice de leurs fonctions. Sur quelles connaissances basent-ils leurs décisions? Que pensent-ils des savoirs détenus par les citoyens? Comment bénéficient-ils de l’expertise des fonctionnaires municipaux ou d’autres professionnels du développement? Un questionnaire leur sera envoyé à l’automne 2021 afin d’en connaitre davantage sur leurs perceptions et leurs utilisations des différents savoirs. Pour Communagir, ce sera l’occasion de pousser plus loin les réflexions amorcées en 2014 avec son étude sur les élus et le développement collectif. Les résultats de ce projet seront également transférés à ses partenaires en vue de soutenir et d’orienter des initiatives fructueuses et pertinentes en matière de développement des milieux, en lien avec la municipalisation du développement au Québec.

Suitability of indigenous wine yeast strains identified from spontaneous fermentation as wine fermentation starter cultures

The Measday lab at the University of British Columbia Wine Research Centre has been collaborating with Okanagan Crush Pad (OCP) winery since 2013 to isolate native yeast strains present in OCP vineyards and winery. OCP is an organic winery and routinely carries out natural grape juice fermentations where no commercial wine strains are inoculated into the tanks to allow the natural microflora present on the grape berries to carry out the fermentation and showcase the terroir of their vineyards. The purpose of this proposal is to identify one or two OCP native strains that are suitable for development into commercial wine yeast strains. OCP is excited to have isolated their own indigenous yeast strains from their own vineyards and would like to create wine made from strains that are native to their vineyards. The ultimate goal of this project is to commercialize OCP strains which will benefit the OV and entire Canadian wine community because they can use these strains to carry out wine fermentation instead of commercialized strains that were isolated from European vineyards.

Building an automated text mining algorithm to extract location-based information from online documents

Text documents often include information pertaining to geographic locations. Mapping these place names to specific geographic locations (e.g., GIS) requires a considerable amount of human effort. This becomes challenging especially when the same place name is represented by multiple places, such as in the naming of waterbodies (e.g. lakes and rivers). In this project we will develop an integrated system, bringing together Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, and one or more known text mining software tools for geographic location application in order to evaluate an online document to match any place names with a geographic location that can be used by GIS. Goldstream Publishing Inc. operates The Angler’s Atlas, which is a sport fishing service that provides detailed maps and related information for lakes and rivers across North America. Providing current information on thousands of the catalogued waterbodies is a challenge for the company.

A combination host-pathogen rapid diagnostic technology for decentralized monitoring of respiratory infections

Current testing for SARS-CoV-2 focuses on detection of the pathogen via isolated nucleic acids, routinely from nasopharyngeal swabs. To our knowledge, no approved clinical SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests using nasopharyngeal swabs incorporate measurements of host responses at the time of diagnosis. Monitoring host responses during SARS-CoV-2 infection is important, as stratification of COVID-19 patients based on host responses is predictive of mortality. Conveniently, host nucleic acids can be isolated from the same swab used for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis, providing an efficient means for early and simultaneous measurement of both host and viral transcripts.
We will generate algorithms for predicting patient morbidity/mortality and healthcare system utilization by correlating host transcriptome profile from COVID-19 diagnostic swabs with clinical outcomes of cases and controls.
Our results will define the relationship between host transcriptome responses and COVID-19 disease progression will i) identify high-risk patients that would benefit from early intervention strategies and ii) provide predictive capacity for hospitals to efficiently prepare and allocate resources for optimal patient health.

Use of a novel interactive digital therapeutic intervention for the management of delirium in the critical care environment

There is a huge human and financial cost to delirium, which is defined as a fluctuating state of confusion and agitation experienced by up to 80% of critical care patients. Delirium is associated with increased risk of death and worsened outcomes like lasting changes in cognition. Our team has partnered with BC tech company MindfulGarden (MG) Digital Health Inc, to develop a novel digital therapeutic intervention. MG utilizes inbuilt sensors and screen based delivery systems to create a calming experience powered by patient-generated input. MG aims to distract and calm patients with delirium-related agitation. We propose a series of randomized clinical trials with critical care patients suffering from delirium to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of this technology as an adjunct to standard care. We hypothesize this will result in reductions in agitation behaviors, reliance on toxic medications and use of restraints in delirious patients in critical care environments.
