OSQ – FMUS UL

Depuis le début de la pandémie, l’Orchestre symphonique de Québec vit un défi de taille ne bénéficiant plus de ses sources habituelles de revenus à la billetterie et à la vente d’événements. Pour conserver le lien avec ses publics, il a réalisé plusieurs actions numériques sur les réseaux sociaux au cours des derniers mois. Ces actions ont connu beaucoup de succès et ont permis d’attirer un tout nouveau public. Le défi sera de conserver cette nouvelle clientèle virtuelle dans les mois et années à venir, tout en adaptant et en bonifiant les produits et services. L’objectif du projet est donc de réfléchir à la nouvelle réalité post-pandémie de l’OSQ et de déterminer les stratégies visant à adapter et à bonifier les produits et services de l’OSQ en vue de prospérer dans une nouvelle réalité économique.

A Virtual Network for Arctic Youth Mental Wellbeing

This project, a collaboration between the Arctic Youth Network (AYN) and Project CREATeS, is to create a virtual platform that supports suicide prevention in Arctic youth by building a virtual community, as well as to promote mental wellbeing through digital and creative media.
The proposed youth-led, community-based research agenda builds upon a successful grant completed in collaboration with the Arctic Council and the Inuit Circumpolar Council, from 2017-2019. Project CREATeS (www.ProjectCreates.com) afforded youth an opportunity to be directly involved in the suicide prevention activities of the Arctic Council. The project successfully engaged 50 youth from each of the Arctic member states, and the Permanent Participant Organizations that sit on the Arctic Council. Bringing together diverse Indigenous youth from across the Arctic highlighted key issues of importance to youth, and also gave them an international forum to express their ideas and to impact policy development related to the region.

The Levis ERP Platform

Digital Integration Centre Of Excellence Technology Access Centre (DICE) at Saskatchewan Polytechnic (SP) and Levis Media Inc. (Levis) will collaborate on the research and development of an inventory management system that targets small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in numerous industries underserved by current systems. In the space of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software whereby an organization can manage their entire business. These products contain many modules such as accounting, human resources, inventory management, etc. This software comes with a huge price tag so Levis strives to create an affordable solution for SMEs. Inventory management software makes up a small piece of a complete ERP solution. By combining Levis’ product with existing software from cloud-based vendors, like QuickBooks and by integrating Internet of Thinks (IoT) devices used for inventory management, they can create an affordable solution. This is possible if Levis can integrate IoT devices and other software products into their software quickly.

Mitigating Degree-Related Biases in Training Graph Convolutional Networks

Over the past few years, Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) have achieved state-of-the-art performance in machine learning tasks on graph data and have been widely applied to many real-world applications across different fields, such as traffic prediction, user behavior analysis, and fraud detection. However, networks in the real world are often with heterogeneous degree distributions, such as power-law. This means that the function of nodes with various degrees can vary significantly, with high-degree nodes playing a crucial role in information spread and other spreading phenomena such as message passing. Current GCNs do not consider the roles of nodes with different degrees during the training process, which could influence the performance of GCNs. In this project, we aim at constructing an enhanced GCNs to involve the degree distribution information of the graph to achieve a better performance compared to the current GCNs.

Mesures et analyse du transport sédimentaire dans un estuaire fortement impacte par les activités portuaires

Les estuafres sonfdes ecosystemes complexes et fragiles qu se trouvent a l’lnterface ocean/rivlere: Ils representent donc des zones strategiques pour le commerce maritime et un abris ideal pour les navires. Dans ce contexte, le transport sedimentaire se revele etre un enjeu majeur car les sediments sont a la fois vecteur de pollution et ils peuvent generer de l’anoxie nefaste pour la biodiversite, mais ils sont aussi responsable de l’envasement du chenal de navigation ce qui perturbe les activites portuaires. Mais la navigation influe egalement sur le transport sedimentaire, car le passage d’un navire s’accompagne toujours de la generation de vagues et de courants qui peuvent eroder les berges et transporter les sediments qui se trouvent sur le fond du • chenal. Dans le but de quantifier les effets de la navigation sur le transport sedimentaire, l’etudiant participera a une campagne de mesure sur site et au traitement des donnees collectees. Les mesures porteront sur l’hydrodynamique (courant, vague), le transport sedimentaire (bathymetrie, turbidite) et les parametres environnementaux (Oxygene dissous, temperature, salinite) .

Community dynamics in restored salt marshes

Salt marshes are important coastal ecosystems as they provide many services to surrounding areas. However, due to their highly productive nature, they have a long history of being converted into farmland in the Maritimes and continue to be altered for human development. Salt marsh restoration has become popular recently to mitigate the increasing societal costs associated with rising sea levels, as well as to increase amount of suitable habitat for wildlife including waterfowl. Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) initiated a salt marsh restoration project in 2010 near Fort Beausejour in Aulac, New Brunswick, by breaching the dikes impounding two farmland cells. The intern will continue to monitor the succession of the communities (terrestrial and aquatic), from farmland to mudflat to salt marsh, and provide insights on best management strategies for salt marsh restoration.

Development of a Sustainable Program Quality Improvement Framework using a Balanced Scorecard Methodology at Family Services Ottawa

FSO (Family Services Ottawa) is a not-for-profit social service agency whose mission is to assist individuals, to build on their strengths and to improve their mental health. FSO does so by providing counselling, education, and advocacy within a context of working to foster systemic change. Although their programs are increasingly monitored and evaluated at the program level, FSO does not currently have a tool to assess and monitor their organization as a whole. This project will identify the most critical measures for monitoring and developing a strategic direction for the organization, balancing theories of strategy with the practical needs related to executing strategy. The intern will work with a working committee of relevant stakeholders and organization members to develop a performance monitoring template that the organization can use to track important information they can use to demonstrate effectiveness to funders and improve organizational functioning.

Arsenic in soil removal and beneficial reuse

The objective of the research is to develop a method for and pilot test the remediation of 3,000 tonnes of arsenic trioxide contaminated soils with concentrations up to 20,000mg/kg. Our project aims to research and develop an efficient and safe methodology of soil washing to remove the arsenic from soil, however other methods would be considered. Moreover, we would also like to find a way to treat the arsenic solution resulted from a successful soil washing. One of the possible way to reuse the arsenic solution is to convert it to gallium arsenide for the use in solar power production. The main activities in our project include a site survey, soil and water sampling and analysis, literature review, bench scale tests and design and implementation of a pilot tests for up to 3,000 tons of soil. The project will also involve the associated reporting of remediation results.

Fabrication of strong and transparent Janus wound dressings by electrospinning

Wound dressings are indispensable in medical operation as they protect the wound from contamination by foreign matter, absorb wound exudate and control the humidity of the wound to promote healing. Mitigating technology can be integrated in modern wound dressings to expedite the healing process and reduce scarring. In this proposal, we will develop an innovative Janus wound dressing that is water repellent on one side and water absorbing on the other. Tensile strength, transparency and water vapor transmission rate of the wound mesh will be controlled by chemical composition and structure of the mesh. The outcomes of this projects will lead to technology development of wound mesh that may be commercialized by the industrial partner. With sufficient adherence to the skin and mechanical strength the dressing has the potential to hold the wound closed as an alternative to sutures, staples and glue

Investigating the geomechanics and public safety risks associated with the instability potential of popular geotourist sea stack rock formations

Sea stacks are natural pillars of rock that are usually found on shorelines. They are fascinating formations that are popular destinations for geotourism, including at the Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park, New Brunswick and Flowerpot Island in Fathom Five Marine Park, Ontario. As they experience continuous wave and tidal erosion, sea stacks eventually collapse. Given their popularity, there is an elevated risk of injury or fatality to visitors that is managed by Parks by limiting access to sea stacks that are closer to collapse. This research project aims to improve predictions of when and where sea stacks will collapse by studying the physical properties of the rocks and using computer models to simulate various collapse scenarios. The intern will benefit from the partner organization’s expertise in field data collection using drone-based photography, their knowledge of structural geology that applies to these rock formations, and their local knowledge of the Hopewell Rocks.

Atlantic Salmon Smolt and Habitat Assessment in the Medway River

Atlantic salmon is in decline in many places across its range. Reduced habitat quality, declines in at-sea survival, and decreases in availability or timing of food resources are all recognized as factors contributing to spawning declines and early life survival. Healthy rivers are good candidates for adult enhancement programs. Adult enhancement involves removing some smolts from the river, growing them to adults in aquaculture tanks, and returning them to the river to supplement the natural returns from sea. Before adult enhancement is undertaken, candidate rivers and their smolt populations must be assessed for suitability. Our project goals are to assess the abundance and genetic structure of salmon in the Medway River, habitat including water quality, and prey availability to inform decisions on the suitability of this river for an adult enhancement program.
