The potential to co-process biogenic feedstocks in commercial oil refineries

To decarbonise, the participation of the oil industry is key. Rather than process crude oils, refineries are able to co-process biogenic feedstocks alongside their fossil fuel to reduce the carbon intensities of the fuels they produced. Our project will evaluate what’s the impact of adding these biogenic feedstocks to the existing refining units by long term operations and what we can expect from the future more challenging biocrudes when they are available. The result of the work can be used by the refinery to further improve their process. The success of the co-processing would also motivate other refineries in Canada or other part of the world to start to co-process and reduce their environmental impacts.

Oral History Interviews to Preserve Canadian Engineering Achievements

The oral history interviews will preserve for posterity first-person perspectives of the careers and achievements of eminent Canadian engineers since the 1960s. Interviewees will be individuals who have made significant contribution to Canadian achievements in biological, civil, electrical, geotechnical, mechanical, and dam engineering fields. As much as possible, they will represent a broad diversity of cultures, religions, races, ethnicities, and sexes. Their oral histories will beneficially inform members of the engineering community and has the potential to guide and inspire younger Engineers-in-Training to have more productive and rewarding careers. The information will also assist individuals researching historical aspects of Canadian engineering achievements.

Development of an Interoperable Microgrid Control Unit

The proposed project involves the development of a microgrid energy management system (or microgrid control unit – MCU) to synchronize the actions of devices such as batteries, solar panels, and other generators to achieve increased energy savings. The MCU will allow all devices to interact and exchange information seamlessly, in a “plug and play” fashion. As part of the project, a control strategy will also be developed that will maximize energy savings and financial incentives by defining an optimal schedule for the microgrid devices The partner organization, TROES Corp, is an Ontario-based battery manufacturer and is exploring new markets and services to deploy their batteries. TROES will benefit from this project because it will allow them to provide an automated, turn-key solution to a variety of microgrids that are interesting in harnessing the ability of microgrids to provide an increase in energy savings and resiliency. This will result in new revenue streams and an opportunity to grow their business. The interns will benefit from the technical, managerial, and business administration experience that the TROES staff has to offer, and will learn critical technical and project management skills that will help secure leadership positions in their academic and/or industrial careers.

The Next Generation Agriculture: Role of Functional Microbiome in Cannabis Breeding strategies against biotic stress

Plants including Cannabis host distinct beneficial microbial communities on and inside their tissues designated the plant microbiota from the moment that they are planted into the soil as seed. Understanding the microbial partnerships with Cannabis has the potential to affect agricultural practices by improving plant fitness and production yield of Cannabinoids. Much less is known about these beneficial Cannabis-microbe interactions, particularly,the role that Cannabis may play in supporting or enhancing them. This proposal aims to characterize the bacterial diversity, associated with susceptible and resistant Cannabis varieties to grey mold (GM) and Powdery mildew (PM) on Cannabis. We hypothesize that different varieties (susceptible and resistant) recruit and maintain different microbial communities and that select microbial strains are able to suppress GM and PM infections and increase protection. We also intend to compare the efficacy of CELEXT07, a new botanical product developed by the industrial partner proven effective against both diseases in greenhouse trials alone or with combination of the best endophytic microbes.

Silicon photonics-based biosensor for multiplex detection

Our goal is to research, develop and commercialize an advanced biosensor that detects many different pathogen infections and immunity for diseases such as COVID-19. We are using a new sensor technology realized with semiconductor manufacturing technology (silicon photonics) and integrated optics and electronics. Our hope is that our sensors can provide answers to individuals, to industries, to governments, and to policy makers. In the long term, testing for emerging diseases will be an important global need: our multiplexed sensors will be low cost (estimated $20 in volume), disposable, usable in the field (point of care setting), and will connect via Bluetooth to a mobile device. The proposed project over the Accelerate and Elevate periods will thoroughly characterize the sensors, establish a portable, automated evaluation system for demonstrating the biosensors to potential customers, and evaluate the sensors’ suitability to meet urgent market needs in point-of-care diagnostics: essential steps for device commercialization.

Étude et modélisation des processus thermodynamiques et cinétiques de stabilisation de l’austénite de réversion dans des aciers inoxydables martensitiques

Les propriétés des matériaux sont intimement liées à leur organisation interne ou microstructure. Pour les aciers constituant les ailes de turbines de centrales hydrauliques, on pense que la microstructure idéale pour augmenter leur durée de vie, consiste dans le mélange de deux phases: martensite et austénite. Cependant, l’austénite n’existe pas dans le matériau de départ et doit être formée par un traitement thermique dont on souhaite connaître les caractéristiques afin d’aboutir à la quantité et à la répartition souhaitée d’austénite. En s’appuyant sur les résultats expérimentaux, nous voulons réaliser sur ordinateur, en utilisant les logiciels de calcul thermodynamique Thermo–?Calc et DICTRA, un modèle physique de cet acier, ainsi que d’autres aciers de la même famille qui permettra de prédire la formation et la stabilité de l’austénite afin de mieux connaître et d’optimiser les procédés de fabrication, les traitements thermiques et les performances des aciers.

Assessing forest harvesting impacts on furbearer habitat at the scale of Indigenous traplines – A case study in Indigenous consultation

The “Assessing forest harvesting impacts on furbearer habitat at the scale of Indigenous traplines – A case study in Indigenous consultation and forest conservation” project is planned to enhance the understanding of Indigenous rights holders concerning forest management activities that impact the distribution of forest types and ages upon which the forest dwelling wildlife that sustain traditional trapping and harvesting depend. It also promises to lay the groundwork for customized consultation approaches with Indigenous tenure holders, such that the aims of consultation are actually achieved. Current approaches to managing and maintaining wildlife habitat consider the availability of forests of a certain type and condition across vast areas between 100,000 ha to over 2 million ha in size. Trapline areas, by comparison, are small, rarely exceeding 10,00 ha in size. According to the status quo, mature forest within traplines that is eligible for harvesting at the macro scale of large forest management units is often planned to be harvested, with little effective consultation with Indigenous rights holders surrounding how these activities may affect habitat suitability within trapline areas upon which they depend for physical, cultural, and spiritual importance.

Prevalence of moderate-to-severe Osteoarthritis pain of the hip and knee by Index Joints in Canadian Primary Care: A proof of concept study from the Canadian Primary Care Sentinel Surveillance Network

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease in middle-aged and older Canadians attending primary care practitioners. As the Canadian population ages and with increasing obesity, OA will become an increasing burden for individuals and the health care system. Given the potential of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) data for surveillance of the population that is at high risk of or is diagnosed with OA, we will apply text mining method to investigate this problem further. In this project, we will develop an information extraction and processing pipeline to extract information about specific index joints to assess the prevalence and severity of OA related pain severity and mobility issues in the major joints of the leg (hip and knee).
