Methods and tool support to enable the systematic improvement of the DevOps process based on information captured by GitLab during the software peer review phase

In the last decade, DevOps has emerged as the prominent approach to increase agility, productivity, and quality in the software industry. DevOps is a software engineering approach that aims at continuous improvement through the use of a systematic approach. It advocates for automation and monitoring at all stages of software development and operations. Based on the spectacular progress it has enabled, DevOps can be viewed as a disruption in the evolution of software engineering approaches. However, it brings important challenges and many companies are struggling with its implementation and evolution. The objective of this project is to develop methods and tool support to enable the systematic improvement of the software development aspect of the DevOps process based on information captured during the peer review process in GitLab. Our goal is to improve both the efficiency of the process and the quality of the resulting software.

Sécuriser l’approvisionnement en biomasse forestière et assurer la stabilité des coûts: Enjeux et solutions d’affaires

La bioénergie est l’énergie produite à partir de biomasse. Dans sa Politique énergétique 2030, le gouvernement du Québec vise une augmentation de 50% de la production de la bioénergie par rapport à 2013; il s’engage à soutenir particulièrement la production de bioénergie provenant de la biomasse forestière. Mais cette filière tarde à se déployer au Québec. Une des barrières principales à l’adoption et au déploiement de la bioénergie au Québec est la complexité, réelle ou perçue, pour mettre en place des chaines d’approvisionnement en biomasse forestière. Même en présence d’une volonté politique certaine soutenant la bioénergie, des projets tardent à se concrétiser.
La compagnie Combustion Expert Énergie est déjà active comme fournisseur de solutions technologiques pour la production de chaleur à partir de biomasse. Elle souhaite développer une compréhension plus fine des enjeux liés aux chaines d’approvisionnement en biomasse forestière, situées en amont de ses activités industrielles actuelles.
Le but recherché est d’identifier les lacunes de la filière de la bioénergie et les opportunités de développement d’affaires pour combler ces lacunes, en vue de soutenir la réalisation de projets de bioénergie au Québec.

Solid Waste Management Best Practices: cost effective options to sustainably manage solid waste in the Peace River Regional District

The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) and the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC), are collaborating on the development of a solid waste management plan (SWMP) whose foundation is based on the five “R”s as outlined in A Guide to Solid Waste Management Planning (2016) produced by the British Columbia Ministry of Environment1. The hierarchy of the five R approach is: reduce, resuse, recycle, recover, residuals. While strategies have been put in place by the PRRD to encourage the reduce and reuse initiatives, this proposal focusses on the recycle and recover aspects. The PRRD and UNBC wish to conduct preliminary feasibility studies to explore means to i) Increase the diversion of solid waste generated in the PRRD and its byproducts; ii) commercialize out-of-district recycling and post-recycling production so that the PRRD may become a leader in SWM by processing recyclables that were previously destined for foreign countries.

Life Cycle Assessment to Inform Potential for Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes in Canada’s LNG Industry

The Paris Agreement, which was signed in December 2015 and went into effect in November 2016, outlines a framework for a new market mechanism that could to incentivize countries to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions: internationally transferred mitigation outcomes (ITMOs). ITMOs enable countries to transfer emissions reduction credits between countries to efficiently find those areas where emissions could be reduced most efficiently and cost-effectively, thus resulting in greater net reductions globally. However, it remains unclear whether ITMOs can be created and implemented by Canadian energy producers, and what this could mean for energy producers. In this project, one intern will research the feasibility of ITMOs for Canada’s LNG industry, using the export of BC LNG to China as an example. The intern will conduct life cycle analyses (LCAs) of different fuel sources to determine whether the export of BC LNG to China could result in a net emissions reduction under different scenarios. The partner organization (FortisBC) will benefit from a deeper understanding of whether and how it could implement ITMOs to gain a return on investment for upstream emissions reductions and create competitive advantages.

The politics of clinical trials in a pandemic: The role of the blood service indeveloping a treatment for COVID-19

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, hundreds of clinical trials are currently ongoing to evaluate the effectiveness of convalescent plasma derived from individuals who have recovered from COVID-19. As a licensed plasma collector for transfusible plasma and the National blood operator (outside Quebec), Canadian Blood Services has consequently taken on a unique role in several nationally and internationally coordinated clinical trials. This project will generate critical knowledge to explore the experiences and key challenges faced by Canadian Blood Services related to when and how to partner with a variety of actors within the clinical trials landscape. Our findings will thus inform the development of clinical trials governance policies, processes, and Formulaire de demande Mitacs Accélération Mitacs-SSHRC Joint Initiative- Accelerate Proposal Streamline Application V01_2018 20 of 22 www.mitacs.ca protocols at Canadian Blood Services aimed at ensuring research integrity, public accountability, and equitable allocation of plasma products. We will also explore how CBS leverages its credibility, expertise and resources to recruit donors for clinical trials.

High-temperature mineralisation: example of the Mythril Cu-Au-Mo-Agmagmatic-hydrothermal system

Metals extraction is essential to society and to Québec’s economy, and gold is one of the main economic substance that the Province in renowned for. Gold mineralization is formed by processes involving hydrothermal fluids and these processes are not fully understood. For example, the source of the fluids, copper and gold are still hotly debated, which hinders efficient and reasonable exploitation of coppergold mineralization. This project focuses on a yet unrecognized style of copper-gold mineralization in the Baie James area that may be related to magmatic activity and that may have formed at depth in the crust. Revealing the metallogenic model for such deposit will galvanize exploration and economic activity in northern Québec and improve our fundamental understanding of Earth’s early evolution. This project is thus economically important. It will also contribute to maintain Québec and Canada as leaders in copper-gold exploration.

Finding Permanency for Children/Youth in Care Project

Achieving permanency for children and youth placed in out-of-home care enables them to form loving, consistent relationships, a sense of connectedness and belonging to their family and community, and a stable place that they call ‘home’. Permanency is critical to the well-being of placed children and youth now and in the future. This proposed study examines the outcomes for children/youth placed in permanent arrangements and their (new) families as a result of the Family Finders pilot project at Family and Children’s Services of Guelph and Wellington County. It will determine whether permanency has been achieved and its effects on outcomes for placed children/youth, as well as the characteristics, motivations and experiences of permanent families. This internship will enable this child protection agency to further refine and develop procedures that facilitate permanency and build their evidence-based practice and research capacity.

Closed loop cementous mixing and feeding system development

The main problem being addressed is the current lack of control and quality in the deposition of mixed mortar in the application of large-scale 3D printing. This is a significant issue because the properties of the mixes used depend heavily on the material ratios and mixing/pumping time. This means that slight variations can lead to blockages in the system or even collapse of the intended printed items.
Current 3D Concrete printing system use many different mix/pumping systems. Two system which are very popular are the MTEC Duo Mix 2000 Connect from MTEC, MAI®MULTIMIX-3D. Both use a dual mixing chamber design but have different styles of controls and material flow.
During our research project the intern will
1) Evaluate and document state of current technology for mixing and pumping using the MTEC and Mai systems
2) Establish simple closed loop controls for the mixing of the materials with water and additives.
3) Test ratios of target variables to evaluate their correlations and create guide curves for more accurate control
4) Link the material handling system to the material feed system and printer controller
5) Confirm proper functioning of improvements through test prints.

La mise en place d’un régime de gouvernance mondiale en matière de lutte contre les maladies non transmissibles (MNT)

Selon l’organisation mondiale de la santé, les maladies non transmissibles (MNT) causent la mort de plus de 41 millions de personnes par an. Un régime de gouvernance mondial s’avère donc indispensable pour lutter contre les MNT. On pourra dès lors se fonder en partie sur l’OMS et ce , à cause de son rôle de leadership en matière de suivi de l’action mondiale contre les MNT. Ce régime de gouvernance peut alors donner lieu à une collaboration étroite entre les différents acteurs du droit international (ex : Organisation mondiale du commerce et OMS). Mes recherches visent essentiellement : tout d’abord démontrer, en se fondant notamment sur la constitution de l’OMS, que l’établissement d’une gouvernance mondiale en matière de lutte contre les MNT est possible et ce, du fait du pouvoir conventionnel de cette organisation. Ensuite, prouver que le régime de gouvernance représente la meilleure approche en matière de lutte contre ces maladies. Le but est donc est de proposer l’instauration d’un régime de gouvernance capable de lutter efficacement contre les MNT.

Mapping DeFi projects of Ethereum blockchain

Decentralized finance (DeFi) is a nascent field that recently gained a lot of media attention. DeFi refers to financial service applications that are operated on blockchain technologies such as Ethereum. Such financial service applications include lending and borrowing, leveraged trading, asset management, insurance, and many new products and services that come out every day. These applications are currently active, and more than $10 billion has been circulating in the DeFi ecosystem. Thus the market for DeFi is real. The interoperability of smart contracts also made it possible to build “money lego,” where the user could chain together DeFi smart contract operations and perform advanced actions such as no-collateral flash loans. This study aims to survey the existing DeFi applications, establish a taxonomy of DeFi applications, and build a foundation for a follow-up study on DeFi. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of DeFi, the research output will help scholars from other academic disciplines to navigate the arcane DeFi application ecosystem.
